U-FO: One Way Ticket to Oblivion By: Bob Doti Welcome to Project Blue Book: the Air Force’s Top Secret study of UFOs. This combination historical novel and science fiction story written by a scientist makes the unbelievable believable. The explanation of the cover-up encompasses the years from the inception of Project Blue Book in 1953 to its termination in 1969 with the Condon Report. One man lives with the guilt that his friend was “disappeared” by the government to continue the cover-up. This novel is for both the skeptic how something like a cover-up is possible. For the true believer, it is a confirmation that they hold the true version of history. This book should encourage a discussion: Are we alone? Does the government have the proof? Does the cover-up continue to this day?

Eight Controversial Questions of History

A Critical Examination

By: Bob Doti

Is history written by the victors? It should not be. Nor should it be based on opinions, but what do writers in the field tell us about the questions we are posing? We will not engage in conspiracy theory but facts to discuss these questions. We will look at everyone, from Pat Buchanan to the writings of Joseph Stalin, to answer the eight controversial questions of history. Did the Treaty of Versailles trigger German extremism? Did the British policy of appeasement toward Germany before WW2 help trigger the Cold War after WW2? Is isolationism a good policy or not? Why didn't Canada revolt in 1776 with the US? Could the takeover by the communists in Russia have been prevented? Did Mao want to fight the USA in the Korean War? Did FDR act out of racial animus with Japanese internment? Did Reagan accelerate or hinder the end of the Cold War? Indeed, in writing history, it constantly undergoes revision as new primary documents or new perspectives from secondary sources emerge, as the historians constantly write to this day. This new perspective, as the culture changes, informs us better. These questions concern the current world we live in for the rest of our lives. So this is not the final word on these questions Eight essays have four themes: war and peace, nationalism and imperialism, democracy and dictatorship, and impactful presidents and controversy.

English Language Word Builder

Second Edition

By: Bob Jackman

The English Language Word Builder organizes English words in a way that is beneficial to anyone wishing to improve their vocabulary, from those learning the English language through to those wishing to excel at word games such as Scrabble. The book contains the basic form of some 82,500 words from two to nine letters in length, and is organized in chapters depending on the word length. Within each chapter, words are designated as either familiar or less familiar, with the familiar words deemed to be those of most use when communicating in English. With the exception of less familiar nine-letter words, each word is assigned a part of speech which is evident from formatting applied. For example, underlining indicates verbs while bold type indicates adjectives and other words that cannot be pluralized. Symbols are used to indicate additional forms of each basic word, with a special symbol being used to designate irregular verbs. Within sections of familiar words in each chapter, words are grouped in accordance with their part of speech. Within sections of less familiar words, words are grouped firstly into those which are built from shorter words, and then into all other words with various groupings depending on the word length. Available single letter extensions of basic words are shown by a lower case letter at the end of each capitalized main word. This enables users of the book to build on their existing vocabulary to make new words, either for use in word games or in communicating in English.
