This book describes the current state of the healthcare system in the United States and nursing homes in particular. It talks in detail about how multitudes of elderly individuals are warehoused in many nursing homes. These victims are largely abandoned by their families as they try to cope with end of life issues including loneliness and oftentimes, neglect and abuse by their caregivers. The book also comments on how societies generally glorify youth and demonize old age. The overriding message is that life is fleeting and that those of us who achieve old age should be lauded and highly valued for our knowledge and experiences and treated with reverence, rather than being despised or discarded. Most of us who are young, strong, and vibrant now will, one day, become old and frail. How we want to be treated is how we need to treat others.

The new entrepreneur's guide to financing your start-up. Every successful entrepreneur needs at least two things: a great idea and the funds to bring that idea to life.

By breaking down the process into four stages-ideation, preparation, the raise, and after the raise-the authors lead you through the venture capital landscape, demystifying it with the knowledge that comes from their vast experience in business, law, and the world of finance in both Canada and the United States. Key terms are defined, and attainable concepts are explored, all to help prepare you for investor expectations and avoid some of the common pitfalls that plague many start-ups as they seek funding.You may already have the good idea. Once you have the skills and knowledge to go into the fundraising process with confidence, you are more likely to hear investors say Yes.

Friendship is an indispensable part of the human experience. Friends can come and go throughout our lives. Friends enrich us and bind us together as we travel through the experiences of being alive. If friends decide to part ways, we are far better off for having had them, than having lived without them. Our nature is such that most of us crave human contact. Listening to, giving and taking advice, boosting one another's self-esteem, and walking together for awhile through this unlikely path of life helps give us the motivational highs to go on. "At the Diner" is a story of give and take among four adults who were childhood friends. They help to resupply each other with emotional support, confidence, laughter, and love before parting ways into their separate paths and back to the daily noise, confusion, mystery, and miracle of living.

American Kenpo founder Ed Parker said, "Every Kenpo black belt is a style unto himself." Every person is different and each person who studies Parker's system creates his own style of that system.

This book includes a detailed analysis of the perspectives, interpretations, and beliefs of some of the top American Kenpo instructors in the world about the blueprint of American Kenpo and how they understand it, teach it, and apply it. Kenpo Perspectives: The Diversity of American Kenpo is a book of interviews with 15 of American Kenpo's top Masters and Grandmasters who truly care about giving back to the art and perpetuating it for future generations. Each of the 15 interviewees answered the same 33 questions to show a variety of different branches from the same tree. The 15 American Kenpo dignitaries interviewed for this book include: Chuck Sullivan, Dave Hebler, Michael Robert Pick, Sean Kelley, Doreen DiRienzo, Rainer Schulte, Bob White, Paul Dye, Pat Salantri, John Sepulveda, Dennis Conatser, Steve LaBounty, Skip Hancock, Brian Duffy, and Rich Hale.

I commanded American soldiers in Vietnam in 1968. I experienced the magnificence of the human spirit as my men triumphed over incredible adversity. This is a story that must be told. My men showed me that Americans are special, with a special destiny. I was transformed by our experience. By the way, I was the first captain in the US Army to ever receive the Legion of Merit.General Douglas MacArthur once said, "Only in combat can men experience the ultimate love and camaderie of the human experience. Only in combat can mankind rise to the highest levels of spiritual glory." I believe that my men and I achieved this in Vietnam in 1968.
