This Last Mission

A Love Story Written by a Retired Air Force Pilot's Wife

By: Theda Yager

Consuelo sat watching her air force pilot husband pack his flight bag and prepare for a mission. The mission was for an undetermined number of days to an unspecified location. He could not tell her where he was going nor how long he would be away. She was a seasoned military wife. She knew not to ask. Jeff was a B-2 bomber pilot. She sat quietly trying to beat back tears as she became lost in memories of their lives together. She had to be strong. She didn’t want to show signs of weakness and give him anything to worry about on the home front. She dreaded the lonely days and nights that lay ahead while she waited and wondered where he was, and if he was safe. She knew she would be notified if he wasn’t. Days later, Jeff called. “It is just a cat and mouse, waiting game. We are hoping against hope and praying with all our might that we do not have to take off unless it is to return home. We are waiting for the other shoe to fall.” “Oh Jeff, we are praying that cool heads will prevail, and that the enemy doesn’t decide to escalate the rhetoric with his threats. The world is holding its breath.” As they were saying their goodbyes, Consuelo could hear the alert horn sounding over the phone. Jeff quickly said, “Goodbye, honey. Love you Gotta go.” And the line went dead. Consuelo sat in stone silence praying for his safety and for all the other pilots and military personnel who were scrambling to their duty stations and airplanes because of impending danger. She prayed silently that it was a false alarm and not a real and present danger to America or our allies.

Traveling Through

Poems and Reflections

By: William Yager

As a teacher-poet, William Yager uses the metaphor of traveling through to symbolize our lifes journey, suffused by innumerable unique and individual encounters and experiencessome with other people, some with nature, and some with the spirit of God. In his first book, Dr. Yager suggested that we may all need a wayside, a place or state of mind where we can stop and take a reflective breath. In Traveling Through, he explores, at a deep and intuitive level, our encounters with nature, the extravagant spirit of God, the culture surrounding us, and the countercultural essence of the authentic Gospel of Jesus.

The Hundred Year Diet

America's Voracious Appetite for Losing Weight

By: Susan Yager

A lively cultural history of the American weight loss industry that explores the origins of our obsession with dieting As a nation battling an obesity epidemic, we spend more than $35 billion annually on diets and diet regimens. Our weight is making us sick, unhappy, and bigger than ever, and we are willing to hand over our hard-earned money to fix the problem. But most people don't know that the diet industry started cashing in long before the advent of the Whopper. The Hundred Year Diet is the story of America's preoccupation with diet, deprivation, and weight loss. From the groundbreaking measurement of the calorie to World War I voluntary rationing to the Atkins craze, Susan Yager traces our relationship with food, weight, culture, science, and religion. She reveals that long before America became a Fast Food Nation or even a Weight Loss Nation, it was an Ascetic Nation, valuing convenience over culinary delight. Learn how one of the best-fed countries in the world developed some of the worst nutritional habits, and why the respect for food evident in other nations is lacking in America. Filled with food history, cultural trivia, and unforgettable personalities, The Hundred Year Diet sheds new light on an overlooked piece of our weight loss puzzle: its origins.

From Miracle to Menace

Alberta, A Carbon Story

By: David Yager

A miracle. Coal, oil and natural gas, the carbon-based fossil fuels that powered the Industrial Revolution and civilization’s rapid advancement. A menace. Climate change has how convinced many that carbon emissions are the world’s greatest challenge. The necessity and benefits of decarbonizing the global industrial and energy complex are well articulated. What is not explained is this will require the largest financial disruption in history, affecting everyone and everything. For over a century Alberta’s massive carbon resources have supported Alberta and Canada financially, helping make Canada the world’s fifth-largest oil and gas producer. Carbon has been a major driver of prosperity, employment and opportunity, shaping the country we know today. However, climate change is creating enormous challenges for Alberta - and Canada - with no possible outcomes that will satisfy all stakeholders. Alberta has become ground zero for the changes many demand but few are willing to pay for. As the province demonstrates what carbon’s future looks and feels like, unless the rest of the world participates Alberta has become a needless sacrifice. From Miracle to Menace explains how Alberta came to be, the enormity of the planned financial dislocation, and how Alberta, and Canada, can meet the climate challenge without committing economic suicide.

How to Promote Your Book

A Practical Guide to Publicizing Your Own Title

By: Jan Yager

Writing a great book is the easy part. Getting people to buy the book is wicked hard. Jan’s book shows you what promotion to do so you increase the possibility that your book becomes a bestseller.” —Jeffrey Fox,bestselling author,How to Become a Rainmaker "Being an author is 50% creative and 50% promotion. Jan Yager's comprehensive and practical book, How to Promote Your Book, tells authors exactly what they need to know and do to promote their book. I'm recommending it to all the authors I know including those whose books I share through my Bedside Reading program." —Jane Ubell-Meyer, CEO, Bedside Reading, former TV producer, Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, WSJ-TV Whether your book is being released through a commercial publisher or an academic press, or you are self-publishing it, as the author, you can and should play a crucial role in getting your title seen, talked about, and sold. And while you may watch dozens of authors pitch their books on TV, in social media, and in bookstores, they represent only a fraction of the writers who come out with new books each year. What do they know that you don’t? They know what to do to get attention for themselves and, more important, for their books—and as you will discover in book publishing veteran Jan Yager’s How to Promote Your Book, you can, too. The book is divided into three sections. Part One begins with a look at promotion basics. These include knowing what your book’s marketplaces are, who your audience is, how the media is divided, the elements involved in publicity, and how to create an effective promotional timeline. Once you understand the basics, Part Two focuses on the ways to package and market yourself to the various book and media outlets. It discusses putting together professional looking press releases and media kits. It also explains how to obtain endorsements and reviews, as well as how to generate speaking engagements and interviews with journalists; bloggers; and radio, TV, and podcast hopes. Part Three provides a plan that covers the fi rst three months of an author’s publicity program—from the day the book is formally released through all the media events that have been lined up. Throughout the book, you will find insets that answer important questions such as, “What are the real costs involved?” and “Should I promote myself or hire a publicists?” Just as important, the author includes a valuable resource guide that provides the names, addresses, and links to many of the key places covered in the book. Jan Yager has enjoyed a fabulous career as both a best-selling author and a publisher. She has been interviewed by many of the top shows on TV and radio. In How to Promote Your Book, she lets you in on what she has done—both for herself and for her authors—to open the door to effective publicity.

Science/Technology/Society as Reform in Science Education

By: Robert Eugene Yager

Science/Technology/Society (S/T/S) is a reform effort to broaden science as a discipline in schools and colleges; to relate science to other facets of the curriculum; and to relate science specifically to technology and to the society that supports and produces new conceptualizations of both. S/T/S is also defined as the teaching and learning of science/technology in the context of human experience. It focuses on a method of teaching that recognizes the importance that experience in the real world has on the learning process. And it recognizes that real learning can occur only when the learner is engaged and able to construct her or his own meaning. Science/Technology/Society As Reform in Science Education is rich with examples of such teaching and learning. It includes impressive research evidence that illustrates that progress has been made and goals have been met. For teachers and administrators alike, this book provides and validates new visions for science education.

Former Federal Trade Officials

Laws on Post-Employment Activities, Foreign Representation, and Lobbying

By: Loren Yager

There are laws to safeguard against former fed. employees, incl. former trade officials, from using their access to influence gov¿t. officials. These post-employment activities are restricted by a fed. conflict of interest law, known as the "Revolving Door" law. Two other laws -- the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) -- require individuals conducting certain activities to publicly disclose them. This report provides a summary of the Revolving Door law, FARA, and LDA. The report interviewed ethics officials at 3 agencies whose missions focus on trade -- the U.S. Trade Rep., the Internat. Trade Admin., and the Internat. Trade Comm. -- and collected data on the number of senior officials who separated from these agencies from 2004-09.
