Paper of Wreckage

The Rogues, Renegades, Wiseguys, Wankers, and Relentless Reporters Who Redefined American Media

By: Susan Mulcahy,Frank DiGiacomo

A jaw-dropping and unputdownable oral history of the New York Post and the legendary tabloid’s cultural impact from the 1970s to today as recounted by the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. By the 1970s, the country’s oldest continuously published newspaper had fallen on hard times, just like its nearly bankrupt hometown. When the New York Post was sold to a largely unknown Australian named Rupert Murdoch in 1976, staffers hoped it would be the start of a new golden age for the paper. Now, after the nearly fifty years Murdoch has owned the tabloid, American culture reflects what Murdoch first started in the 1970s: a celebrity-focused, noisy, one-sided media empire that reached its zenith with Fox News. Drawing on extensive interviews with key players and in-depth research, this eye-opening, wildly entertaining oral history shows us how we got to this point. It’s a rollicking tale full of bad behavior, inflated egos, and a corporate culture that rewarded skirting the rules and breaking norms. But working there was never boring and now, you can discover the entire remarkable true story of America’s favorite tabloid newspaper.

Why we Hate you

A Retailer's Confession

By: Frank Lee

Is the customer really always right? Heck no. For every friendly and polite customer, there’s an entitled and cranky shopper waiting for the world to be handed to them on a platter. Unreasonable expectations and out of proportion reactions can beat a retailer down, and this makes it an unhappy buying experience for everyone. This book is a public service, aimed at making consumers better human beings, and helping employers create happy customers. Through it you will learn how to be a better shopper, how not to be a lousy employee, and maybe, just maybe, how not to be such a jackass to those around you.

Monk’s War: An 18 Year Old Marine’s Story from the Rice Paddies

By: Frank M. Beyea

In the last few years, Vietnam Veterans, including myself, have experienced a phenomenon that is hard to explain. People are interested in the Vietnam War! I think the audience for Vietnam War stories is a diverse one. From young people with a thirst for knowledge about what their fathers and grandfathers went through in the only war that America has lost (so far history hasn't made its final judgment on Iraq and Afghanistan) to the baby boomers who fought in Vietnam. Even those boomers who demonstrated actively against the war and resisted being part of it are suddenly interested. This book provides those interested with what they crave: more true stories of what it was like to live the life of a Marine ground pounder in Vietnam. It's like a good adventure novel, when your own "theater of the mind" puts you in the shoes of the main character.

My Buddy, King of the Hill

By: Frank X. Pagano, Sr.

The story of my life with Howard Buddy Jacobson. Buddy was linked with one of the most notorious murder cases in New York City history. What is behind the veil of the man accused of "Murder on the Upper East Side." This is the inside scoop of his life before and after his arrest right up to his death only hours before possible new trail date. Buddy was one of the greatest horse trainers of all times setting records that still hold today. His fight against the sometime antisemitic waspy blue bloods that were out to destroy him after he led the first strike against the NYRA in support of the backstretch workers. Outside of the track he discovered a new world of glamor, sex, drugs and treachery. This is my attempt to correct many of the falsehoods and lies that have been spread about him by the envious and self serving people that really never knew him. Read this and form your own opinion while you enjoy your stroll back into the 60's and the world of racing from an insiders perspective.

Supernatural Bundle with What a Dragon Should Know, When Darkness Comes & Jacob

By: G.A. Aiken,Alexandra Ivy,Jacquelyn Frank

What A Dragon Should Know Only for those I love would I traipse into the merciless Northlands to risk life, limb, and my exquisite beauty. But do they appreciate it? Do they say, "Gwenvael the Handsome, you are the best among us--the most loved of all dragons?" No! For centuries my family has refused to acknowledge my magnificence as well as my innate humility. Yet for them, and because I am so chivalrous, I will brave the worst this land has to offer. So here I stand, waiting to broker an alliance with the one the Northlanders call The Beast. A being so fearful, the greatest warriors will only whisper its name. Yet I, Gwenvael, will courageously face down this terrifying...woman? It turns out the Beast, a.k.a. Dagmar Reinholdt, is a woman--one with steel-gray eyes and a shocking disregard for my good looks. Beneath her plain robes and prim spectacles lies a sensual creature waiting to be unleashed. Who better than a dragon to thaw out that icy demeanor? And who better than a beast to finally tame a mighty dragon's heart? When Darkness Comes It's been a hell of a day for Abby Barlow. In just a few hours, she's survived an explosion, watched her employer die, had a startling dream, and now she finds herself in a seedy Chicago hotel with the sexy, unearthly Dante, a man she both desires and fears. For 341 years, Dante has stood as guardian to The Chalice, a mortal woman chosen to hold back the darkness. A terrible twist of fate has now made Abby that woman. Three hours ago, Dante would have used all his charms to seduce her. Now she is his to protect. And he will do so until his very death. A terrifying plan has been set in motion, one that will plunge Dante and Abby into an epic battle between good and evil--and a desperate race to save their love... Jacob Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total...until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York City street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire...

Active Object Languages

Current Research Trends

By: Frank de Boer

Active Objects are a programming paradigm that supports a non-competitive, data-driven concurrency model. This renders active object languages to be well-suited for simulation, data race-free programming, and formal verification. Concepts from active objects made their way into languages such as Rust, ABS, Akka, JavaScript, and Go. This is the first comprehensive state-of-art overview on the subject, the invited contributions are written by experts in the areas of distributed systems, formal methods, and programming languages.

Joywords

An Invitation to Happiness through an Introduction to the Option Method

By: Frank Mosca

Joywords is an introduction to the Option Method that utilizes both a step by step conceptual framework and actual edited dialogues with nine people who profited from this educational experience. You will find issues of panic attacks, sexual abuse, marital discord, failing health, loss of direction in life, breaking free from the constraints of the opinions of others, fear of death, guilt and the legacy of the Holocaust all addressed by individuals who came to burst the bonds of the assumptions that stood between them and a fuller and ongoing embrace of their here and now happiness and joy. Here is an elegant, deceptively simple but enormously powerful tool that can lift you beyond the suppositions of “Old Age” or “New Age” approaches and truly set you on a course of liberation from the many forms of unhappiness that plague our every day lives. You become the expert on you using this dialogue questioning method. There are no limits to how happy you can become with this method, except the one’s that you presently hold to be true. This work invites to come to the fullest realization of your potential to live your life in joy.

Kunma

By: Frank Corsaro

The myths and legends of the Tibetan Book of the Dead come alive in this brilliant first novel by the world-renowned director of stage and opera. Laurel Hunt walked into the office of David Sussman enveloped in a grave beauty that took his breath away. And then she announced that her husband, who was currently in a mental institution, was not crazy but in the grip of something monstrous. Dr. Sussman had ministered to his patients' fantasies, neuroses, and psychoses for a good number of years; he'd studied in India and Tibet; he'd seen and heard it all before. Or so he thought. This case would take him, against his will and in the face of every scientific law he held dear, into the realms of reincarnation and Buddhist myth. But these realms were not the bottom of this mystic enigma-only in the Tibetan Book of the Dead would David Sussman begin to find the answers he sought. As murder and madness stalk him, the evidence leads David to a conclusion his sanity refuses to accept . . . until the mists of Time and Space open to reveal the monstrosity that has come to claim him as its own-the Kunma. A stunning first novel that takes the reader deep into the unknown regions of mind and soul and into the very heart of the darkness that lives in every human being. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Trump on the Couch

Inside the Mind of the President

By: Justin A. Frank, MD

A great public service--critical for our time." --Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div., Yale psychiatrist, expert on violence, and editor of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump The New York Times-bestselling author of Bush on the Couch shows that Donald Trump is mentally and emotionally unfit to execute the duties of President. No president in the history of the United States has inspired more alarm and confusion than Donald Trump. As questions and concerns about his decisions, behavior, and qualifications for office have multiplied, they point to one primary question: Does he pose a genuine threat to our country? The American Psychiatric Association's Goldwater Rule constrains psychiatrists from offering diagnoses on public figures who are not patients and who have not endorsed such statements. But in Trump on the Couch Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Justin A Frank invokes the moral responsibility that compels him to speak out and present a full portrait of a man who presents us with a clear and present danger. Using observations gained from a close study of Trump's patterns of thought, action, and communication, Dr. Frank uncovers a personality riddled with mental health issues. His analysis is filled with important revelations about our nation's leader, including disturbing insights into his childhood, his family, his business dealings, and his unusual relationship with alternative facts, including how The absence of a strong maternal force during childhood has led to Trump's remarkable lack of empathy and disregard for women's boundaries; His compulsion to polarize America has grown out of the way he perceives the world as full of deceitful and destructive persecutors; His inability to tolerate the pain of frustration has triggered his belief that omnipotence will finally remove it; His idiosyncratic use of language points to larger issues than even his tweets might suggest. With our country itself at stake, Dr. Frank calls attention to the underlying narcissism, misogyny, deception, and racism that drive the President who endangers it. A penetrating examination of how we as a nation got here and, more important, where we are going, Trump on the Couch sounds a call to action that we cannot ignore.

These days, it’s harder than ever to know how to act like a real man. We’re not talking about the touchy-feely, ultra-sensitive, emotion-sharing, not-afraid-to-cry version of manhood that Oprah and Dr. Phil have been spouting for years. We’re talking about the though, smart, confident, charming, classy, all-around good fella that upholds the true ideal of what is known as “a man’s man.” Now, renowned actor and true-life man’s man Frank Vincent, famed for his unforgettable tough-guy roles in such classic films as Raging Bull, Goodfellas and HBO’s The Sopranos, is going to show how any man can be all that he can be in love, work, play, and life. Everything you need to know is covered here, including, getting the best women by being the best man, dressing like a champ and taking on the world, winning big money and big respect in Las Vegas, selecting, smoking, and savoring a great cigar, and much more. If you want to learn how to be a man’s man, you gotta learn from a man’s man. And with the great Frank Vincent vouching for you, you’ll be on your way to getting everything you ever wanted outta life.

Cheat and Charmer

A Novel

By: Elizabeth Frank

Twenty-five years in the making, a first novel that has already been compared to The Sun Also Rises and The Last Tycoon, Cheat and Charmer is certain to be one of the most admired literary debuts of the season. Written by Pulitzer Prize—winning biographer Elizabeth Frank, Cheat and Charmer is a masterful and richly detailed work of fiction–a Tolstoyan novel of marriage, sisterhood, art, politics, compromise, and betrayal set in Hollywood, New York, Paris, and London of the 1950s. Dinah Lasker grew up in the shadow of her sister, Veevi, a stunning beauty and emerging star who enchanted both the Hollywood set and its imported New York literati. But Veevi’s home was also a hotbed of political activity, owing to her marriage to Stefan Ventura, a Bulgarian filmmaker and high-profile Communist. At the end of the 1930s, when things go badly for him in Hollywood, Ventura and Veevi flee to Paris and into the lengthening shadows of Hitler and fascism. Cut to 1951, when Dinah is subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee, which threatens to ruin her husband, Jake, and derail his successful career as a Hollywood writer, producer, and director unless she cooperates. Can Dinah live with herself if she names Veevi–whom she both loves and loathes–in order to save her husband and preserve her idyllic married life? The choices Dinah makes set in motion an unforgettable chain of events. Like Anna Karenina, Dinah must face the consequences of her choices and her needs. Written with elegance and style, Cheat and Charmer grippingly dramatizes the interior lives of Dinah, Veevi, Jake, and their social circle. Spanning decades and following complex characters on their impassioned pursuits through America and Europe, this is a novel of grand scope, about love and deception, idealism and accommodation, the lies we live, and the truths we cannot avoid.

Through the Third Eye

By: Bob Frank

Clay Barton gained access to temporarily declassified past life regression protocols used by the CIA when he worked at the Stanford Research Institute. Since then he has been something of an armchair treasure hunter, conducting hypnotic past life regressions on people. Shali Faisal and Clay take their roaming reincarnation parapsychology practice direct to their subjects and guide them through their past lives. They coax out information about lost valuables or hidden treasures from long ago. The subjects remember almost nothing of their reincarnation sessions so the rewards are all theirs for the taking. They heard whispers about a collection of “hidden writings” that have ties to the rumored secrets of the universe. Upon finally finding these treasures, they are confronted by a unidentifiable, secretive nemesis intent on stopping them. Despite being aided by a benevolent ally, they are repeatedly blocked from their goal.

WALHALLAPLAN

WALHALLAPLAN

By: Frank Luger

This is a pseudoplay (the kind meant to be read, not seen on stage or screen) about the nature of Evil. The play begins with the real-live crucifixion of the main protagonist on Mount Zion in present-day Jerusalem and continues with five flashbacks in five Acts, examining Evil by means of the thoughts, actions and personality clashes of the various characters. The plot intensifies throughout the Acts, first with a crescendo at the end of Act One, then with another at the end of Act Three, and then with a final crescendo at the end of Act Five. The climax leads directly to the crucifixion scene in the Prologue. Finally, a resolution of the main problem is provided in the Epilogue, and it is shown how Evil may be harnessed and made to serve Good. The play thus ends on a note of hope and cautious optimism but without underestimating the power of Evil. It was written in December 1986, completed in March, 1987, and published for the first time in August, 2007, for the second in January, 2018.

Jews and Medicine

An Epic Saga

By: Frank Heynick

From the Middle East B.C.E. to medieval Spain through the end of WWII, Frank Heynick traces the relationship between a people and a science in Jews and Medicine: An Epic Saga. The ancient ritual of circumcision, Maimonides, the Bavarian Jacob Henle and Nobel-winner Otto Loewi make appearances in this sweeping history of literary, religious and professional links between Judaism and medical practice. Heynick, a scholar of medical history and linguistics, discusses the sale of mummified remains as a cure for disease, the ascendance of psychoanalysis and hundreds of other famous and obscure historical moments. -Publisher's Weekly.

Chillers - Volume 2

By: Daniel Boyd,Robert Tinnell,Gary Reed,William Bitner,Bill Richardson,Jason Pell,Frank Larnerd,Katrina Dedicova

The first volume was nominated for Best Anthology graphic novel by both Shel Dorf Awards and the Ghastly Awards. It was also named as Best Horror Anthology for 2012 by Decapitated Dan's Dark Delights. This second volume continues the quality with 14 ALL NEW tales based on the classic Troma feature film, Chillers that was written and directed by Daniel Boyd. Here Boyd has assembled much of the same talents for this second volume and included some great new additions. Join in as the Babylon Bus picks up the participants who have found themselves in horror and gothic surroundings with only a few to live through the tale to tell it. Emerging from the twilight...from out of the crypt and beyond the darkside comes...CHILLERS. "In the annals of horror there are a handful on names that rise above the genre as true craftsman of cinema. You have George Romero, John Carpenter, and trailing not too far behind, Daniel Boyd." - The Joblo Network A Caliber Comics release.

Fake Alibis

An Almost True Novel

By: Frank Sibila,Caren Kennedy,Adam-Troy Castro

When Keith wants to keep his wife from finding out about a beautiful 20-something redhead, he calls the only person he knows who can find the perfect cover for him—Frank Sibila, a man whose clientele ranges from cheating housewives to diplomats. Holed up in the men's room, a panicked Keith explains to Frank that his wife has just shown up at the restaurant where he and the redhead are dining. Frank assures him he will be there in 10 minutes. What Frank doesn't know is that 10 minutes from now, his already drama-packed life will get even more interesting. Keith's case should be business as usual ... nothing out of the ordinary for the owner and operator of FakeAlibi.com, the real-life Internet service that vouches for your "perfectly innocent" whereabouts. Frank twists believable tales to exonerate clients around the world, which he fortifies with agent testimony, receipts, fake news stories, and whatever else is needed. Caught in a Chicago hotel room with four hookers and a donkey? Frank can place you having a slice of pizza in Truth or Consequences, facing neither truth nor consequence. In this hilarious all-new novel inspired by his real-life exploits, Frank finds himself trapped between a hapless husband who has run into big trouble in Sin City and an implacable wronged woman determined to cause Frank grief. It's all just another day at the office for Frank and his slick operatives ... until he misplaces his client.
