Creation: Fact or Fiction - You Decide

By: Howard Mishne

Finally! Heres a book about Creation that you dont have to be a rocket scientist or Bible scholar to understand. For most people, complex biblical and scientific studies of our origin are boring. They make your head spin by the end of the first few pages. Thats not what this book is going to be like for you. This book is for us typical people. When you talk with believers of Creation, some will tell you to just read the Bible. Others say This can only be Gods work or What else could it be? Or they try to poke holes in the well-known theories. Creation is not a theory; its a belief. You either believe it or you dont. So how do you believe in something that nobody can prove? In his first book, Howard Mishne combines interesting and cool facts with basic science to methodically tie it all together. From the universe down to the very unique aspects of our life on earth, he lays out an easy-to-understand perspective in ways you havent thought about before. Instead of trying to answer the questions, Howard lets you decide by looking at our existence in a different way.

The Politics of Child Abuse in America

By: Lela B. Costin,Howard Jacob Karger,David Stoesz

Child abuse policy in the United States contains dangerous contradictions, which have only intensified as the public slowly accepted it as a middle class problem. One contradiction is the rapidly expanding child abuse industry (made up of enterprising psychotherapists and attorneys) which is consuming enormous resources, while thousands of poor children are seriously injured or killed, many while being "protected" by public agencies. This "rediscovery" has also led to the frenzied pursuit of offenders, resulting in the sacrifice of some innocent people. Moreover, the media's focus on the sensational details of high-visibility sexual abuse cases has helped to trivialize, if not commercialize, the child abuse problem. As such, child abuse has gone from a social problem to a social spectacle. By the 1980s the child welfare system had become a virtual "nonsystem," marked by a staggering turnover of staff, unmanageable caseloads, a severe shortage of funding, and caseloads composed of highly dysfunctional families (many with drug-related problems). To make room for these families, public agencies rationed services by increasingly screening-out child abuse reports which contained little likelihood of serious bodily harm. In The Politics of Child Abuse in America, the authors argue that child abuse must be viewed as a public safety problem. This redefinition would make it congruent with other family-based social trends, including the crackdown on domestic violence. Children must have the same legal protection currently extended to physically and sexually abused women. This can be done by creating a "Children's Authority," which would have the overall charge for protecting children. Specifically, Children's Authorities would have the responsibility for providing the six main functions of child protection: investigation, enforcement, placement services, prevention and education, family support, and research and development. Offering a unique perspective on the cold reality of this crisis, The Politics of Child Abuse in America will be a provocative work for social workers and human service personnel, as well as the general reader concerned with this timely issue.

Walter Howard: Reflections in Moonlight

By: Walter Howard

There is something old-fashioned and sage-like in Walter Howard's poetic voice. I can imagine him reading from a mountaintop-- with the raging elements a backdrop to his words. Howard is a learned man-- and has been an academic for many years-- but his poetry is in the tradition of a true romantic. He uses nature and emotion to find spiritual truth. He embraces beauty-- with all its allure, but is not afraid to reveal its frightening and dark side as well. Howard uses ample doses of levity to pull the fly down on our most cherished traditions and notions, but in the same token he shows a deep respect and affinity for all the things this world has to offer." - Doug Holder, Publisher of Ibbetson Street Press
