A few short years after HIV first entered the world blood supply in the late 1970s and early 1980s, over half the hemophiliacs in the United States were infected with the virus. But this was far more than just an unforeseeable public health disaster. Negligent doctors, government regulators, and Big Pharma all had a hand in this devastating epidemic. Blood on Their Hands is an inspiring, firsthand account of the legal battles fought on behalf of hemophiliacs who were unwittingly infected with tainted blood. As part of the team behind the key class action litigation filed by the infected, young New Jersey lawyer Eric Weinberg was faced with a daunting task: to prove the negligence of a powerful, well-connected global industry worth billions. Weinberg and journalist Donna Shaw tell the dramatic story of how idealistic attorneys and their heroic, mortally-ill clients fought to achieve justice and prevent further infections. A stunning exposé of one of the American medical system’s most shameful debacles, Blood on Their Hands is a rousing reminder that, through perseverance, the victims of corporate greed can sometimes achieve great victory.
Dr. Eric C. Amberg introduces a new way of looking at the human condition that will radically change how readers think about well-being and will enable them to better present themselves, challenge labels, and achieve a higher level of self-realization. The Five Dimensions of the Human Experience is a nonfiction presentation about the nature of who we are, how we function, and how we grow as human beings, centered on five key components that overlap and interact to shape the human experience for every living person—the biological, mental, genetic, educational, and energetic/spiritual dimensions of being. Using research from the fields of psychology, medicine, genetics, physics, and spirituality, and supporting his propositions with practical applications and real world results gleaned over the course of his career, Amberg delivers innovative insights on the concepts of life, power, individual evolution, personal giftedness, and our place within the psychosocial sphere. Written with every reader in mind and accessible to professionals and laypersons alike, The Five Dimensions of the Human Experience extends an outstretched hand to anyone who wants to embrace the human condition and improve their quality of life. Dr. Eric C. Amberg began his career as a fifth grade teacher in New York City, and later moved into the mental health industry, where he has worked as an instructor and clinician for approximately thirty years. He is currently working to develop an integrative program using a five-dimensional approach to treat veterans with diagnoses such as posttraumatic stress disorder, Gulf War illness, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain.Kirkus Book Review:A schematic new analysis of the human condition.Basing his nonfiction debut on extensive experience in the mental health industry—dealing with, among other things,patients with PTSD—Amberg likens the totality of the human experience to an extremely complex piece of machinery,the parts of which need to be working in perfect alignment in order for the machine to function at its peak. Though“humans are clearly much more complex than the machinery we create,” human life can malfunction, and Amberg hasisolated five “dimensions” whose efficiencies are essential to the success of the whole. The biological deals withphysical health and well-being; the psychological encompasses all varieties of human interaction; the educational“inevitably gives definition to who we are”; the genetic concentrates on DNA, which contains “that which makes usspecial”; and the energetic connects humans to whatever they conceive of as God. (This is a spiritual rather than strictlyreligious book; all denominations, even atheists, might find it thought-provoking, since Amberg makes ample allowancefor secular forms of inspiration.) The book takes an in-depth look at each dimension in turn, and given the author'sspecific area of expertise, it's not surprising that a group of seven case studies is the book's most accomplished andrewarding section. These case studies involve people struggling with challenges such as substance abuse, learningdisabilities and, of course, PSTD, and Amberg uses them to good effect as illustrations of the workings of the fivedimensions he's sketched out. These case studies also serve to highlight the element of personal accountability that runsthrough the whole book; for Amberg, “[t]he more responsibility we are willing to assume, the more access we have toour internal power and intelligence.” Accessing that internal power, he says, can lead to “self-actualization.” There's agood deal of levelheaded, common-sense advice in these pages, all of it presented more in the clear prose of a diagnosticmanual than in the fuzzy generalities of a self-help guide.An analytical, ultimately optimistic blueprint for taking charge of life and improving it.

The Venona Secretspresents one of the last great, untold stories of World War II and the Cold War. In 1995, secret Soviet cable traffic from the 1940s that the United States intercepted and eventually decrypted finally became available to American historians. Now, after spending more than five years researching all the available evidence, espionage experts Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel reveal the full, shocking story of the days when Soviet spies ran their fingers through America's atomic-age secrets. Included in The Venona Secrets are the details of the spying activities that reached from Harry Hopkins in Franklin Roosevelt s White House to Alger Hiss in the State Department to Harry Dexter White in the Treasury. More than that, The Venona Secrets exposes: • Information that links Albert Einstein to Soviet intelligence and conclusive evidence showing that J. Robert Oppenheimer gave Moscow our atomic secrets. • How Soviet espionage reached its height when the United States and the Soviet Union were supposedly allies in World War II. • The previously unsuspected vast network of Soviet spies in America. • How the Venona documents confirm the controversial revelations made in the 1940s by former Soviet agents Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley. • The role of the American Communist Party in supporting and directing Soviet agents. • How Stalin s paranoia had him target Jews (code-named Rats ) and Trotskyites even after Trotsky’s death. • How the Soviets penetrated America’s own intelligence services. The Venona Secrets is a masterful compendium of spy versus spy that puts the Venona transcripts in context with secret FBI reports, congressional investigations, and documents recently uncovered in the former Soviet archives. Romerstein and Breindel cast a spotlight on one of the most shadowy episodes in recent American history - a past when by our very own government officials, whether wittingly or unwittingly, shielded treason infected Washington and Soviet agents.
The aim of this book is to systematize and discuss population genetic studies of freshwater fish in a region that harbors the greatest diversity of species among all inland water ecosystems. This volume explores the genetic evaluation for a number of orders, families and species of Neotropical fishes, and provides an overview on genetic resources and diversity and their relationships with fish domestication, breeding, and food production.
This book tells the story of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the largest nonsectarian refugee relief agency in the world. Founded in the 1930s by socialist militants, the IRC attracted the support of renowned progressives such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Norman Thomas, and Reinhold Niebuhr. But by the 1950s it had been absorbed into the American foreign policy establishment. Throughout the Cold War, the IRC was deeply involved in the volatile confrontations between the two superpowers and participated in an array of sensitive clandestine operations. The IRC thus evolved from a small organization of committed activists to a global operation functioning as one link in the CIA's covert network.
When Washington D.C. was first built, it was on top of a swamp that had to be drained. Donald Trump says it's time to drain it again. In The Swamp, bestselling author and Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling presents an infuriating, amusing, revealing, and outrageous history of American politics, past and present, Republican and Democrat. From national political scandals to tempests in a teapot that blew up; bribery, blackmail, bullying, and backroom deals that contradicted public policies; cronyism that cost taxpayers hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars; and personal conduct that can only be described as regrettable, The Swamp is a journey downriver through the bayous and marshes of Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom. The presidential election of 2016 was ugly, but it exposed a political, media, industry, and elite establishment that desperately wanted to elect a politician who received millions of dollars from terror-funding states over a businessman willing to tell the corrupt or incompetent, “You’re fired.” The book concludes with a series of recommendations for President Trump: practical, hard-headed, and concise ways to drain the swamp and force Washington to be more transparent, more accountable, and more effective in how it serves those who have elected its politicians and pay the bills for their decisions. Last year President Trump declared Wake Up America to be a "huge" book; Eric Bolling's second book is sure to build on that success. Entertaining and timely, The Swamp is the perfect book for today's political climate.
