1. Can Free Trade and Capitalism Solve the Middle Eastern Peace Problem? Book Review by Lance Winslow
   
   Wouldn't it be great to have peace in the Middle East? Indeed, that would be a wonderful thing, and more than a few people believe that the answer will come through free-market trade and capitalism.

2. Tired of the Global Warming Myth? Book Review For You by Lance Winslow
   
   It seems as though every time we turn around we are being warned about the potential impacts of global warming. In the 1970s scientist claimed and they swore up and down that we were going into an Ice Age. That never happened, but they sure got a lot of people fearful, and were able to promote their agenda.
   
   
3. Glenn Beck's Common Sense - The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine by Gail Pruszkowski
   
   I recently read Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine and I found the book to be a thought provoking read. Conservative political commentator Glenn Beck hosts a talk radio show and a television show. He's an author and an entrepreneur who has become well-known for his polarizing and controversial views but his book is filled with his own brand of common sense.
   
   
4. In Touch Weekly Magazine - One of the Front Runners in Celebrity News Coverage by Kostantinos J. Papahatzis
   
   In Touch Weekly was started back in 2002 as a source for consumers wanting an inexpensive way to catch up on celebrity news. With so many people looking for a factual source of information that is not written in a tabloid style, this magazine is the perfect choice. It has become a popular choice amongst many people in the younger crowd due to its inexpensive cover price that is much lower than People or US Weekly that offers the same type of information.
   
   
5. Review - War of Necessity, War of Choice by Paul Lappen
   
   This book explores the planning for both Iraq wars, in 1991 and 2003, by one of the few people in a senior Washington position for both conflicts. The 1991 Gulf War does a very good job of fitting the definition of a "just war" or a "necessary war." The cost of letting Saddam Hussein keep Kuwait, and its oil, and thereby strongly influence the entire Middle East oil...
   
   
6. The Iran Threat - President Ahmadinejad and the Coming Nuclear Crisis by R. Mike Bennett
   
   Alireza Jafarzadeh's book examines the Iranian president, the country's nuclear ambitions and its meddling in Iraq through the lens of underground opposition groups (2007, ISBN-13: 978-1-4039-7664-2). Alireza Jafarzadeh, former media director for the Washington, D.C., office of the Iranian parliament in exile, brings together published reports and his own inside "sources" to paint a scary picture of Iranian leadership and its intentions.
   
   
7. Detroit's Meltdown Started Years the Prior - A Book Review by Lance Winslow
   
   What the heck happened with the US Car Industry and why did our elected leaders pay so much of our money to bailout two sinking ships?

8. Should We Have an Open Border With Mexico - The Debate and Book Review by Lance Winslow
   
   How much do you know about the debate over illegal and legal immigration in the United States? Well, you might be interested in learning what is really going on behind the scenes, whose organizing the May Day Marches, who is trying to build fences on the border and which companies are making money by supporting or denying immigration.

9. Independent Voters - The New Elephant in the Room by Ronald Standerfer
   
   The number of Independent voters has increased dramatically since 1995. Depending on whose statistics you read the proportion of Americans registering as political Independents (or decline to state their affiliation) is currently between 38 and 40%; and this is scaring the hell out of both the Democrat and Republican Parties. But Thomas Richard Harry, author and third-party candidate for the U.S Senate in Missouri in 2000, is not afraid at all.
   
   
10. The Terrorist Legacy Written by Mr Pat by Cy Hilterman
    
    This is a very large book that tells a story of the world today with all the battles of terrorism, religion, brutality, rape, control of humans, and food scarcity. I was afraid the book would lose the reader just by the immense scope of the story that spreads over many nations, seas and oceans, many people and organizations, and how precious life really is and how that life can be threatened by terrorists who obtain a nuclear device. It also tells of the attempt to save children in parts of Africa where life is not valuable to most, not even a child's life.
    
    
11. In Review - The Mole People (1993) by Jim Lesses
    
    There were many times during my stay in New York City in the spring of 2008, when I stood on a subway platform beneath the streets of Manhattan, and watched some work detail, or maintenance squad disappear into the dark, dimly lit tunnels of the New York subway system. Jennifer Toth's 'The Mole People' is not a story about the thousands of maintenance men and women working for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority. Instead, the book tells the story of thousands of New York's homeless who turn abandoned subway tunnels deep underneath Manhattan into their homes.
    
    
12. Howard Dean's Prescription For Real Healthcare Reform by Dindy Yokel
    
    Healthcare reform plays a major role in discussions and the media today, but it is confusing, overwhelming, boring and seemingly unsolvable to most people.

13. Non Fiction Book Review on a Reality Check Topic in Our Society by Lance Winslow
    
    Many folks are upset at bogus science that is used by policy makers and politicians to justify their decisions. And a good many are upset that even our colleges and university research departments are paid by industry and subsidized by the government only to come up with results that are desired by those that are paying, rather than based on truth. The list of scientific abusers and wink-wink deals is overwhelming and extremely alarming.
    
    
14. The Unthinkable - Who Survives When Disaster Strikes and Why by Amanda Ripley by Alain Burrese
    
    "The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - And Why" by Amanda Ripley is a fascinating look at the human response to disasters. This excellent book not only describes some of what happened, but look closely at the "why" people respond the way they do in such situations. As Gavin De Becker, author of "The Gift of Fear" states on the front cover, "'The Unthinkable' isn't merely a book about disaster; it's a book about survival - maybe yours."
    
    
15. The Curse of the Plagiarist by Uday Gunjikar
    
    In "The Cult of the Amateur," author Andrew Keen proclaims the demise of modern culture brought about by the evils of the internet. While he makes a strong case, I am more optimistic about the future of new media. I see in it the potential for a true renaissance of art and culture. Perhaps in the long run civilization will win out over the decadent subversive forces that threaten online culture and our generation will be witness to a whole new arts and media scene.
    
    
16. Fair Game by Gillian Smyth
    
    At first glance, the 2003 controversy surrounding the outing of former CIA agent Valerie Plame and its subsequent events could almost be mistaken for a Hollywood screenplay drafted by Hollywood masterminds mystified by an intelligence agency shrouded in secrecy and a hawkish White House administration hell bent on revenge. With a cast of characters including CIA spies, former U.S. diplomats, high ranking white house officials, and even the Vice President; the Valerie Plame affair has all the essential ingredients for a perfect Hollywood espionage conspiracy thriller.

19. Nuclear Weapons and Terrorism - An Evil Mix by Lance Winslow

20. Venezuela and Hugo Chavez - A Book Recommendation by Lance Winslow

And now he's passed a new rule that he can keep running for office indefinitely and so he will.

22. Punished by Rewards - A Review of the Book by Alfie Kohn by Peter Hunter
    
    Every now and again comes a book that changes the way we think or the assumptions that we make about our lives. One of the greatest assumptions that we make in almost every walk of life is that we can make others work harder by offering them rewards. Alfie Kohn in his book, "Punished By Rewards," exposes the assumption that providing these rewards improves performance. He shows us in detail in any number of different cases how wrong we are to believe this and shows just how destructive the practice of rewarding performance really is.

24. Critical - What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis by Davis Liu, M.D.
    
    Review of the book by a practicing board-certified family doctor of Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-care Crisis - authored by Former Senator Tom Daschle. I had high hopes for this book. Except for the one innovative idea, the creation of a Federal Health Board, this was an average book compared to the many available which detail the challenges of our dysfunctional healthcare system far better.

27. Of Balancing and Conditioning by Imran Zaka
    
    The political leaders across the world acting the Oracle of Delphi- courtesy their acquired instinct and innate desire, are making adjustments in their native reactions, the purpose is to secure and fortify their place against the onslaught of entrepreneurial advances - (technology driven). But history serving as an operational analysis tool introduces to us the dangers of such a romance; it introduces to us the relics of gory deeds, and warns us against the backlash of aggression. It also introduces to us three cliques-mind sets such as the intellectuals, aggressors and opportunists.
    
    
28. Skulking Reapers by Imran Zaka
    
    President Nixon in his book "Cease the Moment" spoke of Satellite TV- a the tool that liberated the Russians and the other Bolshevik comrades from the tyranny of Communism; it wrapped the Iron Curtain of the ignorance and paved the way for the Liberal Democracy-an exercise of free will for the born free peoples, so that the people could invent their future with their own capabilities and convictions. Some lookers on the games (social scientists) opine other wise; they say that the room for Social equality was already there in the Bolshevik Russia, and was logical as well because ...
