"Action-packed and funny as hell. Cold War is high-concept bizarro done right!" - Danger Slater, author of Moonfellows and House of Rot. Gordy Beck wants to deal his drug-laced ice cream to children in peace, but standing in his way are rival confection dealers and gangs who want a piece of the action. His brother, Quinton, works for the Sno-Cone Mafia, the chief threat to Gordy's business. When Quinton orders a hit on Gordy, it triggers an all-out war. Gordy enlists the help of his lover (a living ice cream sandwich), and a sentient bag of frosting called the Buttercream Bandit, who uses her Jawbreaker tumors as deadly weapons. In his quest for absolute control of the neighborhood, Gordy must fight off cotton candy slush demons, Sno-Cone henchmen, an overzealous neighborhood watch, and his own brother. Amid icy combat, the brothers must decide which is more important-business or family. But in the end, only one treat lord will reign supreme.

Software projects are notorious for cost-overruns and never getting done. The culprit is not malice or even incompetence, but the unwitting NERD. You cannot tell a nerd by his or her looks. They come in all shapes and sizes, speak a hundred different languages, but have one thing in common: The Nerd Factor.John Chambers was 30 years a software developer and entrepreneur. Early on, he saw that certain people made a project more difficult. Most nerds, he discovered, are teachable. They can overcome the "nerd factor" in them. Most programmers and analysts, in his experience, are not nerds. For the small minority which do wreak havoc on any project, most require only a little education and become de-nerded (if that is a word). Only a tiny minority of the minority refuse to change.If you are in the software profession, or you hire, train, or pay those who are, you need to be able to spot the Nerd Factor and know what to do about it.

John Chambers takes what, for many, is the incomprehensible subject of quantum physics and simplifies it with ease as he establishes a strong connection between spirituality and science. Written specifically for those with no prior knowledge in the field of physics, he begins by effortlessly explaining its history and development. He then shows how the universe can be modeled as a hologram, and how this holographic perspective resolves many of the paradoxes of quantum physics. From there, he develops a quantum physical model for the soul, using a theory known as loop quantum gravity, a rival to string theory for the "theory of everything" title. Finally, he explores the connections between physics and spirituality and demonstrates how we are all interconnected at a fundamental level. A groundbreaking look at the connection between science and spirituality, The Physics of Being: Science, the Soul, and the Source of Creation will forever change how you look at the world. Editorial Reviews "[T]he author's reflections on singularity, consciousness, solving the clone problem, time travel and the breathtaking capacity of holographic physics positively shimmer as alternative understandings. Notes toward a breaching of the science/spirituality divide, told with freethinking verve and scientific skepticism." - Kirkus Reviews "The Physics of Being makes physics easily accessible and interesting to the average reader, and whets the appetites of physics aficionados. The author's writing style is conversational. His sense of humor and easy-going manner sets the reader at ease. From his explanation of the Greek origins of the word "atom" to current theories on time travel, his excitement for physics is palpable. A natural teacher, Chambers simplifies the thoughts, theories, and philosophies of the world's greatest thinkers. He also applies them to subjects that for a long time were labeled as being outside the realms of science, such as the soul and even God. It is a dream of physicists to find the ultimate equation, a unified theory that makes sense of everything from the big bang to the idea of infinite realities. With the help of authors and scientists like Chambers, it is our duty to understand as much as we can about our universe and our place in its grandiosity." 4/5 Stars - ForeWord Clarion Reviews

If you need a lawyer, spend your money on a lawyer. But if you don't need a lawyer, this book might very well keep you from needing one. Most folks have only been taught that "rights" are life-liberty-pursuit-of-happiness. Those important rights are only the beginning but are not even the most basic. One is so basic that without it, no other right is possible . . . but if misused, will destroy a person's power to exercise any right. We have rights from living with others and rights from living in a civilization. This book explores * Inalienable Rights * Contract Rights * Property Rights * Civil Rights * Jury Rights * Constitutional Rights * States Rights (misnamed; it is "State Powers") * Human Rights Before it even looks into these rights, it has to define what a RIGHT is. That itself is eye-opening but it suggests a "formula" that a person can follow when she or he feels his rights have been violated. The chapters on each type of right includes examples of violations, possible solutions and even some examples the Courts have looked at issues. What about Hate Speech? How far can a religion go before it's freedom can be infringed? What is the Second Amendment REALLY about? Finally, the book wraps it all up with what a person can do to Keep his or her Rights. It is not just fighting, no matter what they try to tell you. You can keep your rights, and it is not even that difficult.

At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Mrs. Eliza (Elizabeth) Powel asked Ben Franklin what form of government the convention had cooked up. Franklin famously answered: "We have given you a republic, if you can keep it." "Keeping it" is the job of every citizen. Today, politicians and the media find advantage in dividing us up into segments, creating disagreements. This book shows us what our common agreements are and how we can work together. Our prosperity as individuals and as a group depends on this understanding and our recommitment to its principles!

The birth and evolution of our solar system is a tantalizing mystery that may one day provide answers to the question of human origins. This book tells the remarkable story of how the celestial objects that make up the solar system arose from common beginnings billions of years ago, and how scientists and philosophers have sought to unravel this mystery down through the centuries, piecing together the clues that enabled them to deduce the solar system's layout, its age, and the most likely way it formed. Drawing on the history of astronomy and the latest findings in astrophysics and the planetary sciences, John Chambers and Jacqueline Mitton offer the most up-to-date and authoritative treatment of the subject available. They examine how the evolving universe set the stage for the appearance of our Sun, and how the nebulous cloud of gas and dust that accompanied the young Sun eventually became the planets, comets, moons, and asteroids that exist today. They explore how each of the planets acquired its unique characteristics, why some are rocky and others gaseous, and why one planet in particular--our Earth--provided an almost perfect haven for the emergence of life. From Dust to Life is a must-read for anyone who desires to know more about how the solar system came to be. This enticing book takes readers to the very frontiers of modern research, engaging with the latest controversies and debates. It reveals how ongoing discoveries of far-distant extrasolar planets and planetary systems are transforming our understanding of our own solar system's astonishing history and its possible fate.

Feel your vote doesn't count? Well in a Democracy -- hold on! Democracy? It is easy to define a Democracy -- "majority rule." That means 49% of the people are left out. That means you. We instinctively know that is not right and we even see in the US Constitution (Article VI) that our government is supposed to be a Republic. So what is a Republic? Often it is defined as "sort of like a democracy but with representatives." Or "a government ruled by Law," or ... Correct ... sort of. Suppose I tell you I am going to describe a house. I tell you about the front door (the representatives). I tell you about the wonderful back yard (the Law). I have described a few parts of the house, but not THE HOUSE. You want to buy it? I didn't think so. You'll stick with your little hut Democracy, but at least you know what it is. REPUBLIC is not concisely defined. You cannot walk through the rooms of the house, knock on the walls, how well-constructed is this house? We will NEVER regain the republic until the word REPUBLIC is fully defined. That is what this little book does. At the end of it you will know what a republic is. You will be able to show others to the front door, read the floor plan, walk through the rooms of the house and out to the glorious back yard. Come and inspect this house. What are you waiting for?
