Be careful how you treat your fellowman. You never know how those you step on going up maybe the same ones you meet going down. As I look at American History, our struggle and the Civil Right Movement I can't help thinking about the little things the media, presidents, members of Congress, governors, law enforcement, military, racist citizens and others in government just did not understand how to respect people of color and other nationalities. African Americans and others citizens have been cheated by the media's negligence to give us all the facts surrounding the struggle and other facets of American History. Let us not tell our children that we marched from this city to that city without explaining what took place in between and before we reached this stage of our struggle. This book has short stories and poems that tell about our lamentations. Yes, our cries and the cries of others need to be heard and our children need to learn how to conduct themselves in a way that guides to success rather than jails and institutions that incarcerate.

Agriculture has long been a vital factor in the economic growth of Haiti, once considered the jewel of the Antilles. With its burgeoning agricultural development, why does the country suffer nearly unparalleled poverty? This is the question asked and answered in Dr. Arché Jean's scholarly and very compelling book. What the author calls 'an empirical study' reaches into the heart of the country, exploring its development and what are, or should be, the political, social, technical and economic manifestations of an agrarian society. Dr. Jean evaluates the extensive literature written on agriculture and development economics and applies these findings to his own studies of Haiti. His study reveals fascinating information about Haitian macroeconomics and how it has failed a large part of the Haitian population. His comprehensive study into the productivity history of the rural sector of Haitian life answers the question: What are the true sources of poverty? Finally, Dr. Jean calls for a new social contract designed to return to all inhabitants the dignity and economic foothold they so richly deserve

Living in this world has enabled me to see good and bad times, experience joy, racism, pain, trials, tribulations, and rebirth. I have been blessed to delve into and scrutinize history along with the Bible. The Lord above has given me the desire to see the need for careful study of the Bible and the willingness to share with anyone that loves the Christian life or wants to get prepared for Jesus' Second Coming when the last trumpet sounds. I love to compare history with the Bible. It's exciting and no man can truly explain it without using world history. Included in the book is 'Kids Corner'. These chapters are stories for the children, so the youth can learn about readiness before the last trumpet sounds. One day soon, the last trumpet will sound and at that very moment many will be joyful; yet, so many will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming as foretold in 2 Thessalonians 2: 8. I owe the King of kings so much and this is my way of expressing my thanks for all his bountiful blessings.

This book objectively considers nutritional evidence that the Chinese wolfberry, Lycium barbarum L., is the world's most nutrient-rich food. 81 scientific publications are summarized and interpreted as a foundation for this evidence. Wolfberry's diverse phytochemicals, including its rich content of protein, 8 polysaccharides (dietary fermentable fiber) and 4 carotenoids (antioxidants), 6 vitamins, 18 amino acids, 11 essential minerals, and 5 omega fatty acids provide compelling definition for wolfberry's superlative nutrition. Data comparisons are made to more common 'superfoods', such as flax seeds, spinach and blueberries. A chapter is devoted to the 2000 year old legend of wolfberry as China's herbal treasure and 5000 year old applications of traditional Chinese medicine. Factors influencing nutrient density and quality, such as taxonomy, geography, Yellow River loess (silt from flooding), cultivation practices and processing, are given separate chapters. Using available research literature dated to 2005, the book fulfills the scientific credibility needed to benchmark wolfberry as a nutrient-rich food valuable for western diets and health.
