Sex, power, and politics converge in the story of a diverse social movement against sexual harassment.

President George W. Bush is a twenty-first century Texas politician with values from America's old west. The "Tao Te Ching" is a 2000-year-old Chinese manuscript of wisdom and advice. What would happen if the President were to read this ancient text? Ed Bremson explores this question in "The Tao of George W. Bush," a humorous, sometimes irreverent, imaginative look at the similarities and differences between the Oriental mind and the Texan mind. As the reader will find, the President more than holds his own in this fanciful meeting of East and West.

"Government in Your Soup" is a revealing, often funny, and sometimes shocking exposi of government intrusions into your kitchen.

Author Brad Edmonds brings his economic background together with his love of food to show how government mucks up the food industry, and what can be done about it. "Government in Your Soup" covers a diverse range of topics, including:

• How regulations raise prices and hurt American businesses and consumers
• How government involvement can slow developments in food safety
• The brilliance of chefs, home cooks, and free markets in overcoming...

Democrats (and believe it or not, some Republicans) have finally come out of their coma, rejecting the lies and deception of the Bush Administration, weary of the senseless war in Iraq and alarmed by the erosion of our civil liberties. Best of all, people are energized into taking back their country. An easy read, provocative, and fun. Here and there, quite witty.

"The Wonderful Wizards of Oz" is a whimsical satire set in the Medieval ages. Lord George of Bush, majestic in his royal robe, eagerly summons his four loyal knights, Sir Richard of Cheney, Sir Karl of Rove, Sir Donald of...

American Ethos is the idea that the achievement of mutually beneficial goals is the best way to grow our national unity and ensure our future as a free and democratic America. It is the prospect that we can establish basic ideals we all share as Americans - not based on a particular social value, special interest, partisan or local concern, but rather by looking at our country and our people as a whole group, not a collection of competing minorities. We must unify and move forward.

In the midst of this dissent-discouraged era - in which the Administration goes to all lengths to hide truth and restrict the flow of information - comes a most timely title: "Voices From The Blue States." A collection of essays from people across the country, "Voices From The Blue States" truly presents Commentary From The Rest of America.

"Thought provoking and positive, exciting and illuminating describe 'Voices From The Blue States, ' a timely anthology of political essays compiled by Mack Williams."

-Terry B., bestselling author of "Dancer's Paradise" and "At Midnight: Choice...

"Hoteko's Laws" are Chief Inspector Sarge Hoteko's golden rules on managing in the federal government. He states only 10 percent of those in management make any useful contribution.

Discover the other myriad impeding factors that face the 10 percenters. Observe how prying reporters, pompous politicians, devious lawyers, power hungry unions and volatile EEO issues can impact a manager's ability to get the...

"Broken America" is an iconoclastic look at the administration of George W. Bush. Author David Cooper takes an in-depth look at the difference between the Bush administration's rhetoric and what their policies actually are regarding many of the most important issues of the day. Using the words of the most powerful people in government themselves, Cooper discovers:

• The real reason for the Iraq invasion
• Whether or not the intelligence was simply faulty
• Why there is not now and never has been an 'exit strategy"
• How the Bush administration 'supports" the troops
• Who's...

Many people merely shake their heads when they hear of another useless $10 million federal study, but those same people go nuts when their city approves a thousand dollars for new plants for city hall. Does this mean that hometown politics are just "petty"?

Author Tony Corvo doesn't think so. Expanding on what he has learned as a founding member of his local political action committee, Corvo satirically interweaves local, state, and federal politics as he explains his view of the world-a view that also foresees serious consequences for the United States of America.

In "All Politics Is...
