Lessons from the Ranch: A Human Resources Guide for Leaders
Detecting Deceit: How To Tell If Your Friends, Coworkers, And Romantic Interests Are Lying To You
The Last American Dragon
Illustrated allegory. “…the three dragons (Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness) … made the treacherous Atlantic passage to America, carrying the same hopes and dreams as the early settlers. Today, the single remaining dragon struggles for survival. A modern tale, written in the classic short story style, is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Subtle references are made regarding several social issues.” The description I used for this is no longer on the listing but was when I posted this book before.
Why America is Failing - The Political Views of an Average Joe
Psychotronic Warfare: How They Control Your Mind
The description is worth a read as an entertaining introductory article in itself. Synopsis of book: “The author …has been investigating the issues for a long time. He had contacted, made friends with, and interviewed tens of people long before Russian President Putin declared publicly that his country possessed psychotronic weapons. He scrutinized the internationally acknowledged cases of refugees being brought to a violent death under unexplainable conditions... He approached persons who had worked for government research agencies dealing with psychotronics. He used his common sense and constructive imagination to complete the picture that had been emerging from all that research. …And the present book is the result of those efforts.” See the description for more detailed explanation.
