What if it were illegal for parents to share their faith with their children? Would you still do it? What if it meant risking custody of your children? In the future United States created by Eric Luppold in his book, Into the Tempest, it is illegal for anyone to expose minors to religious teaching due to it being a violation of their rights and freedoms. Adults who are religious are viewed as having a psychological disorder requiring treatment. It is in this world where we follow the lives of two very different individuals. The first is Sam, a high school student who struggles with the same things other boys his age struggle with: bullies, girls, and homework. Yet Sams world is quickly turned upside down when he is introduced to the Christian faith, causing him to question the secular society around him. While Sam struggles to find his own identity in a world that hates Christians, Detective OConnor fights to protect minors from religions effects. The sudden loss of his wife years earlier led Detective OConnor to conclude two things: God does not exist, and he hates God. Yet, as events in his life bring him into contact with Sam, Detective OConnor is forced to confront his dark past and his personal war against God. Into the Tempest is an intriguing and thought-provoking novel. As you read, you may find yourself wondering, Could this really happen here?

Readings in Advertising, Society, and Consumer Culture

By: Roxanne Hovland,Joyce M. Wolburg,Eric E. Haley

This collection of classic and contemporary articles provides context for the study of advertising by exploring the historical, economic, and ideological factors that spawned the development of a consumer culture. It begins with articles that take an institutional and historical perspective to provide background for approaching the social and ethical concerns that evolve around advertising. Subsequent sections then address the legal and economic consequences of life in a material culture; the regulation of advertising in a culture that weighs free speech against the needs of society; and the ethics of promoting materialism to consumers. The concluding section includes links to a variety of resources such as trade association codes of ethics, standards and guidelines for particular types of advertising, and information about self-regulatory organizations.

The Fellowship

By: Eric Casimir

The Fellowship is a fast-paced, action/adventure thriller, which wends its way through exotic locales all the way to its shocking, slam-bang finish. After working his entire life to become wealthy, aged billionaire Jonas B. Dawson decides, why should smart, deserving young people work until retirement to live it up on a nest egg? Wouldn’t it be better to have it all up front while young and better able to enjoy it? This is the premise of Dawson’s fellowship, one million dollars given to Shawn Dawes, fresh out of the University of Chicago, with no strings attached. Simultaneously, Dawson’s largest business rival, James Hunt Robinson has discovered that Dawson is building a nuclear facility of unspecified purpose in the Idaho Rockies. As Shawn and his girlfriend Lisa travel the globe, they find themselves on a rapidly spiralling collision course between Dawson, Robinson, and the Fellowship.

Fearless

The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown

By: Eric Blehm

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER, GOLD AWARD—Over 500,000 copies sold! Fearless takes you deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the heart of one of its most legendary operators. When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn’t know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan—but he was ready: In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I’m not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.” Long before Adam Brown became a member of the elite SEAL Team SIX—the counterterrorism unit that took down Osama bin Laden—he was a fun-loving country boy from Hot Springs, Arkansas, whose greatest goal had been to wear his high school’s football jersey. An undersized daredevil, prone to jumping off roofs into trees and off bridges into lakes, Adam was a kid who broke his own bones but would never break a promise to his parents. But after high school, Adam fell in with the wrong crowd, and his family watched as his appetite for risk dragged him into a downward spiral that eventually landed him in jail. Battling his inner demons on a last-chance road to redemption, Adam had one goal: to become the best of the best—a U.S. Navy SEAL. An absorbing chronicle of heroism and humanity, Fearless presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior who would enter a village with weapons in hand to hunt terrorists, only to come back the next day with an armload of shoes and meals for local children. It is a deeply personal, revealing glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood that also shows how these elite operators live out the rest of their lives, away from danger, as husbands, fathers, and friends. Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination was fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. Always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, Adam’s final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice. Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as fearless.

Magic Capes, Amazing Powers

Transforming Superhero Play in the Classroom

By: Eric Hoffman

For as long as there have been heroes and villains in our books, on our TVs, and in our everyday lives, children have been imitating them in their play. Superhero play remains a wonderful, developmentally appropriate way for children to explore power, experience adventure, and investigate big questions about the world. Yet, many adults are troubled by the effects media storylines, stereotypes, and violence have on children’s superhero play. Magic Capes, Amazing Powers takes an in-depth look at why children are so strongly attracted to superhero and weapons play. It also examines the concerns felt by families and teachers and suggests practical solutions that take into account the needs of both children and their caregivers. It explores how the use of redirection, storytelling, dramatic play materials, anti-bias curriculum, and clear limit setting can guide superhero play in a positive direction, one that addresses caregiver concerns and allows children to do what they do best—play!

Finding the Name that Sounds Just Right

By: Whitney Walker,Eric Reyes

Learn to listen for the ideal name! The Perfect Baby Name is the first book of its kind-providing parents with a creative approach to selecting first and middle names that sound good with readers' surnames. A good combination of names is pleasing to the ear, easy to remember, and can help a child be popular and successful in life. Utilizing the techniques found in poetry and phonetics, parents will discover how to examine a surname by the sum of its parts-and match it with the perfect first name. With this unique new method, parents can choose the baby name that everyone is looking for: the perfect one! Here's how it works with the surname Green: Break down the sounds: G, R, long E, and N. These are the four different sounds (or phonemes) in that name. Now refer to those four different lists in the back of the book. The G list has names like Hugo and Morgan... The R list has Rex and Aurora... The E (long) list, Eli and Alicia... The N list, Nathaniel and Lindy... All of these names sound good with the surname Green, so now it's just a matter of personal preference. Readers can scan the lists for the name they like best and choose the perfect match!

Put Happiness to Work: 7 Strategies to Elevate Engagement for Optimal Performance

By: Eric Karpinski

This game-changing “how-to” shows leaders how to increase engagement by harnessing employees’ motivation for happiness. Our efforts to increase employee engagement are failing because employees simply aren’t motivated to improve their engagement. In this illuminating book from Eric Karpinski, managers and team leaders will learn the key to effectively engaging employees: focus on happiness. But not all types of happiness drive engagement; by selecting specific strategies that activate employees’ inherent motivation for certain types of happiness, you can simultaneously boost engagement and organizational performance. Everybody wins. In Put Happiness to Work, Karpinski draws on his deep experience at the intersection of business and psychology to lay out a step-by-step program that includes specific activities to enhance engagement and generate happiness at work. Utilizing existing work habits and meetings, these dynamic yet simple tools will hardwire effective changes into leaders’ and employees’ behavior, creating long-term, sustainable engagement. Based on more than 10 years of experience applying top positive psychology and neuroscience research in the workplace, Karpinski’s strategies are easy to implement and are critical to helping leaders unlock the kind of engagement organizations need to thrive.

Treatment and Management of Maladaptive Schemas

By: Eric A. Kreuter,Kenneth M. Moltner

This volume explores new ground in the area of personal transformation, achieved partly through a person’s volition with a guide or catalyst. The authors research and define the dynamics of paradigmatic-thinking, incorporating a series of case vignettes of personal transitions. They describe impediments to such change, as well as the post-transformation state of mind where vulnerabilities may persist. The resultant need for on going commitment may include guidance or coaching in order to sustain the positive effect of a change in paradigm. An important feature of the book is a case study written by “Rex,” a participant in Dr. Kreuter’s earlier work. Rex has achieved significant change in his thought process, both in how he sees the world (less sinister) and his self-perspective (worthy and connected). An in-depth view of the “new” Rex shows the extent to which change has been possible in one human being. Combined with other evidence of shifting paradigms drawn from a cross-section of therapeutic practice, the authors connect the clinical data with their own developed philosophy on the subject of human behavior and the ability to change with the assistance of a therapist guide to effectuate and sustain such change.
