Analyzing Leaders, Presidents and Terrorists

By: Diane Holloway

Analyzing Leaders, Presidents and Terrorists will astonish, entertain and inform those interested in what makes leaders tick. Matters of the greatest moment hinge on the psychological health of world leaders, and profoundly affect their administration.

This books examines 13 leaders: Truman, Hitler, Mao, Khrushchev, Castro, Kennedy, Johnson, Meir, Nixon, Reagan, Thatcher, Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. It explores their upbringing, morals, sexual behavior, use and abuse of power, leadership style, what they do when the going gets tough, accomplishments and shortcomings. It is a disquieting, thought-provoking study. This powerful analysis provides good information for parents, employers, governments and anyone who is interested in those who have shaped the modern world.

The PKU Paradox

A Short History of a Genetic Disease

By: Diane B. Paul,Jeffrey P. Brosco

How did a disease of marginal public health significance acquire paradigmatic status in public health and genetics? In a lifetime of practice, most physicians will never encounter a single case of PKU. Yet every physician in the industrialized world learns about the disease in medical school and, since the early 1960s, the newborn heel stick test for PKU has been mandatory in many countries. Diane B. Paul and Jeffrey P. Brosco’s beautifully written book explains this paradox. PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder that causes severe cognitive impairment if it is not detected and treated with a strict and difficult diet. Programs to detect PKU and start treatment early are deservedly considered a public health success story. Some have traded on this success to urge expanded newborn screening, defend basic research in genetics, and confront proponents of genetic determinism. In this context, treatment for PKU is typically represented as a simple matter of adhering to a low-phenylalanine diet. In reality, the challenges of living with PKU are daunting. In this first general history of PKU, a historian and a pediatrician explore how a rare genetic disease became the object of an unprecedented system for routine testing. The PKU Paradox is informed by interviews with scientists, clinicians, policymakers, and individuals who live with the disease. The questions it raises touch on ongoing controversies about newborn screening and what happens to blood samples collected at birth.

Live Fast, Love Hard

The Faron Young Story

By: Diane Diekman

As one of the best-known honky tonkers to appear in the wake of Hank Williams’s death, Faron Young was a popular presence on Nashville’s music scene for more than four decades. The Singing Sheriff produced a string of Top Ten hits, placed over eighty songs on the country music charts, and founded the long-running country music periodical Music City News in 1963. Flamboyant, impulsive, and generous, he helped and encouraged a new generation of talented songwriter-performers that included Willie Nelson and Bill Anderson. In 2000, four years after his untimely death, Faron was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Presenting the first detailed portrayal of this lively and unpredictable country music star, Diane Diekman masterfully draws on extensive interviews with Young’s family, band members, and colleagues. Impeccably researched, Diekman’s narrative also weaves anecdotes from Louisiana Hayride and other old radio shows with ones from Young’s business associates, including Ralph Emery. Her unique insider’s look into Young’s career adds to an understanding of the burgeoning country music entertainment industry during the key years from 1950 to 1980, when the music expanded beyond its original rural roots and blossomed into a national (ultimately, international) enterprise. Echoing Young’s characteristic ability to entertain and surprise fans, Diekman combines an account of his public career with a revealing, intimate portrait of his personal life.

Dallas and the Jack Ruby Trial

Memoir of Judge Joe B. Brown, Sr.

By: Diane Holloway

The question of why Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald was the central issue of his trial by Judge Joe B. Brown, Sr. With compelling immediacy and exhaustive detail, the judge's memoir is a vital contribution to the quintessential murder mystery of the 20th century. Here for the first time, we get to know what really went on in Ruby's trial and in his mind. Judge Brown had access to previously unpublished facts involved in the "trial of the century", as it was called. His memoir has been combined with the Warren Commission interrogation of Ruby and with Ruby' polygraph conducted by the F.B.I., accompanied by enlightening psychological commentary. With a selection of previously unpublished photographs, this is a brilliant, illuminating new view of the event that has dominated the consciousness of the American public as no other ever has.

Overcoming Celebrity Obsession

Overcoming Celebrity Obsession

By: Diane Saks

OVERCOMING CELEBRITY OBSESSIONis a star-studded journey from celebrity obsession to fulfilling life in three easy phases. When a fan is obsessed, a story character version of the celebrity is created. It is through the fans celebrity characterization that guides the fan through Phase 1. Upon understanding why the fan was obsessed in the first place, the journey through Phase 2 begins. This is the dark part of the fans life that the fan used the favorite celebrity to escape from. Professional counseling is not recommended in Phase 1, but can begin in Phase 2. In order to get the most from Phase 3, the fan must be able to look at parts of his or her real life and pull out the celebrity obsession. For example, every time someone couldnt communicate or understand me, I saw that as my John Travolta obsession. If I was not given a chance to help out during a particular event, that was my David Cassidy obsession. It is in Phase 3 where we discuss personal behavior and set goals both professional and personal. The typical celebrity obsession theory is, the obsession is because of hero worship. Until now, celebrity obsession therapy has been in the hands of professionals who have never lived through celebrity obsession. Typical celebrity obsession studies state, that obsessed people need to stop obsessing over celebrities and get on with life. Diane knows better than that. She believes the fan needs to take some time to celebrity obsess while inOVERCOMING CELEBRITY OBSESSIONin order to work through what is stopping the fan from getting the most out of life. Why would you want to put your celebrity obsession into the hands of someone with an advanced college degree or two, who has never been celebrity obsessed?

Carry Me Home

Birmingham, Alabama: The Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution

By: Diane McWhorter

Now with a new afterword, the Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatic account of the civil rights era’s climactic battle in Birmingham as the movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr., brought down the institutions of segregation. "The Year of Birmingham," 1963, was a cataclysmic turning point in America’s long civil rights struggle. Child demonstrators faced down police dogs and fire hoses in huge nonviolent marches against segregation. Ku Klux Klansmen retaliated by bombing the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killing four young black girls. Diane McWhorter, daughter of a prominent Birmingham family, weaves together police and FBI records, archival documents, interviews with black activists and Klansmen, and personal memories into an extraordinary narrative of the personalities and events that brought about America’s second emancipation. In a new afterword—reporting last encounters with hero Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and describing the current drastic anti-immigration laws in Alabama—the author demonstrates that Alabama remains a civil rights crucible.

Righting the American Dream

How the Media Mainstreamed Reagan's Evangelical Vision

Righting the American Dream

How the Media Mainstreamed Reagan's Evangelical Vision

By: Diane Winston

A provocative new history of how the news media facilitated the Reagan Revolution and the rise of the religious Right. After two years in the White House, an aging and increasingly unpopular Ronald Reagan looked like a one-term president, but in 1983 something changed. Reagan spoke of his embattled agenda as a spiritual rather than a political project and cast his vision for limited government and market economics as the natural outworking of religious conviction. The news media broadcast this message with enthusiasm, and white evangelicals rallied to the president’s cause. With their support, Reagan won reelection and continued to dismantle the welfare state, unraveling a political consensus that stood for half a century. In Righting the American Dream, Diane Winston reveals how support for Reagan emerged from a new religious vision of American identity circulating in the popular press. Through four key events—the “evil empire” speech, AIDS outbreak, invasion of Grenada, and rise in American poverty rates—Winston shows that many journalists uncritically adopted Reagan’s religious rhetoric and ultimately mainstreamed otherwise unpopular evangelical ideas about individual responsibility. The result is a provocative new account of how Reagan together with the press turned America to the right and initiated a social revolution that continues today.

In Search of Fatherhood- Transcending Boundaries

International Conversations on Fatherhood

By: Diane A. Sears

IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES is a straight-no chaser exploration of the questions and issues directly and indirectly related to Fatherhood which confront Married Fathers, Single Fathers, Stay-At-Home Fathers, Long-Distance Fathers, Divorced Fathers, Custodial Fathers and Non-Custodial Fathers throughout our global village. Men who are Fathers in the Millennium from all Walks of Life are closely examining their parental roles and responsibilities. They are redefining Fatherhood through the creation of father-friendly legislation and public policies and coalitions that extend beyond geographic borders. They are staging peaceful demonstrations in the streets of the cities of the world in an effort to call attention to their need for greater access to resources and support services. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D., Muhammad Nasser Bey, Randy L. Collins, Leonard Dantzler, Warren Farrell, Ph.D., Dale Fraza, Thomas R. Golden, LCSW, the late L.T. Henry, Thomas Hoerner, Gary A. Johnson, James Kennedy, Thomas Lessman, Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., Martin G. Ramey, Almas Jamil Sami and Joep Zander, through articles and interviews, speak from the depths of their souls about the roles and responsibilities of Fathers and the universal search for answers to questions and resolutions of issues directly and indirectly related to parenting from a male perspective which Men who are Fathers in the Millennium have embarked upon. This search for answers to questions and resolution of issues by Men who are Fathers transcends the boundaries of geography, politics, culture, religion, ethnicity, politics and economics. WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R) -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES? HERE ARE A FEW REVIEWS: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATTORNEYS FOR CHILDRENS RIGHTS J. STEVEN SVOBODA, ESQUIRE RENDERS FAVORABLE VERDICT FOR FATHERHOOD BOOK BERKELEY, CA. 19 September 2004 He is the Executive Director and Founder of Attorneys for the Rights of the Child, a Board Member and Public Relations Director of the National Coalition of Free Men and a member of The Mens Center Advisory Council. He is J. Steven Svoboda, Esquire. Svoboda, who recently completed his review of In Search Of Fatherhood -- Transcending Boundaries has rendered a favorable verdict. Mr. Svoboda had the following things to say about In Search Of Fatherhood -- Transcending Boundaries which is authored by Diane A. Sears, a member of the University Council for Akamai Universitys Fatherhood and Mens Studies Program and the Managing Editor of a quarterly international male parenting journal IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD FORUM FOR AND ABOUT THE FATHERS OF THE WORLD: BSI International, still a relatively new player in pro-male publishing, has been putting out its IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD Forum For and About the Fathers of the World for well over half a decade. Now BSI has released this fascinating and wide-ranging volume collecting 17 pieces by 16 contributors, all focused in one way or other on the ever-important issue of fatherhood. I personally read it cover to cover on a recent plane flight. Svoboda stated. BSIs publicationsboth its journal and this book--have a unique flavor. For one thing, substantial representation is given to men of color. Its authors vary in literary skill though everything it publishes is engaging and easy to follow. Some of its articles tend to have a somewhat politically reactionary flavor though despite my own personal largely progressive background, I dont view this as a negative factor, Svoboda continued. At the same time, BSIs style is very male in its sensibility: stories are put out there as the authors see them, with no apologies and no punches pulled. Many of BS

The Challenger Launch Decision

Risky Technology, Culture, and Deviance at NASA

By: Diane Vaughan

“An in-depth account of the events and personal actions which led to a great tragedy in the history of America’s space program.” —James D. Smith, former Solid Rocket Booster Chief, NASA, Marshall Space Flight Center When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, millions of Americans became bound together in a single, historic moment. Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skullduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake. Why did NASA managers, who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it, decide to proceed? In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers, Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment, supported by a culture of high-risk technology. She reveals how and why NASA insiders, when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong, normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to them. In a new preface, Vaughan reveals the ramifications for this book and for her when a similar decision-making process brought down NASA’s Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003. “Vaughn finds the traditional explanation of the [Challenger] accident to be profoundly unsatisfactory . . . One by one, she unravels the conclusions of the Rogers Commission.” —The New York Times “A landmark study.” —Atlantic “Vaughn gives us a rare view into the working level realities of NASA . . . The cumulative force of her argument and evidence is compelling.” —Scientific American

The True Story of a Mother Who Killed Her Children in Cold Blood

By: Diane Fanning

SLEEP MY DARLINGS Diane Fanning On January 28, 2011, the Tampa Police Department received a phone call from a woman who was worried about her daughter, Julie Schenecker. A devoted Army wife and mother of two, Julie had sent her mother an email that could be described as "suicidal." When authorities arrived at the Schenecker home, they encountered a horrific scene... Sixteen-year-old Calyx and thirteen-year-old Beau Schenecker were found dead—both of them shot, then covered with blankets. Upon questioning, Julie admitted that she was "tired of the kids talking back" and just "wanted it to be over." Had her manic depression driven her to the point of insanity? Or was hers a case of cold, calculated violence and manipulation? This is the shocking true story of motherhood, mental illness, and two charges of murder in the first degree.

The Race to Eternity will uncover the truth behind what happens at death and what occurs to the soul of the individual whose life is entangled with the energies of emotion of this world. The Race to Eternity will detail for your personal experiences of the author, Diane Freeman, as she was guided to assist certain individuals, many famous, in their transition from life to eternity, but who had been waylaid by their experiences of life. They had become entangled in the energies of the planet and were unable to move forward as is intended for all people of the planet, having the experience of life in a body. Let Diane Freeman bring understanding to all of you who wish to understand the meaning of life in the body and what happens to the soul at death, for no man knows the hour of his death and death happens to us all, in the body that is, for the soul lives eternally. Let The Race to Eternity assure that your soul has the understanding that it needs to move on when the time comes.

Goldy's Kitchen Cookbook

Cooking, Writing, Family, Life

By: Diane Mott Davidson

The beloved New York Times bestselling culinary mystery writer delivers a cookbook packed with more than 160 mouthwatering recipes and charming anecdotes about her writing and cooking life. Diane Mott Davidson is the author of seventeen bestselling mysteries featuring caterer/sleuth Goldy Schulz, a woman who “took the lemon that life had given her and made not just lemonade but Lemon Chicken, Lemon Bars, Lemon Cookies and Lemon Meringue Pie.” Each Goldy novel includes recipes for scrumptious dishes from the adored character’s kitchen. Now, Davidson has collected these treasured recipes and some brand-new dishes in one volume for the first time. Here are recipes for Appetizers and Soups, Eggs and Cheese, Salads and Starches, Meat, Poultry, and Fish, Breads, Desserts, and finally Low-Carb Recipes (how Davidson lost thirty pounds and kept them off). Most of the dishes came from “playing around with dishes tasted in restaurants.” Others are family favorites, some came from friends, and a few are “happy accidents.” At last, fans can enjoy delicious fare such as Bacon-Wrapped Artichokes with Dijon Cream Sauce, Diamond Lovers’ Hot Crab Dip, Sweethearts’ Swedish Meatballs in Burgundy Sauce, André’s Coq au Vin, Ice-Capped Gingersnaps, Damson-in-Distress Plum Tart, and Dad’s Bread. Part memoir, part writing manual, part cookbook, Goldy’s Kitchen Cookbook combines the author’s gift for storytelling with her skills in the kitchen. She introduces the recipes with stories about how she came to create them, anecdotes from her experiences as a writer and home cook, and includes her joy at receiving a fan letter from the legendary French Chef herself, Julia Child. Full of irresistible food, Goldy’s Kitchen Cookbook is a must-have book for Davidson fans, food lovers, and cooks everywhere.
