This is a story of evil that plays an integral role in a small town's transformation from a peaceful place to a terrifyingly selfish and corrupt town, only to be saved by the courage and honesty of a boy, Michael Brown, who draws his strength from the motto "Liberty and Justice for All." The town is saved from the Green Palm Way of Life by the young hero, but the shadow of evil lingers on in the reader's mind long after the story is over. The town's transformation is an allegorical tale of how America itself has lost its innocence as viewed by young Mikey who, along with the help of some of the town's people who refuse to succumb to the Green Palm Way, stands by the notions of liberty and justice for all and resists the encroaching forces of human nature that threatens the very foundations of humanity and American ideals.

This is the story of a boy that answers the question: How much can a human being endure simply surviving the hand that one is dealt in life? Inexplicably favored by providence, he endured more than he ever thought possible. In his first 19 years of life, his father was tortured to death during the Korean War, his stepmother sent him to an orphanage from which he ran away, and he had to work as a laborer for his entire teenage years. Through it all, in spite of the endlessly lonely days and desolate nights, he never abandoned his own innate hope and idealism. Now as a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland with an immensely satisfying career behind him, he tells the riveting story of his childhood as an epic tale of survival and an inspiring testament to the human spirit. "When my throat bleeds from screaming, the head explodes, eyes pop out, and ears fall off, I will remember the story of a boy and then what? The end." - Brenda Amato

The Great Art Hoax exposes the real fakery and hypocrisy of the art world: how art is manufactured and marketed; how the pathology of private possession drives up the price; and how false art is hyped as true art to the tune of millions of dollars. Jon Huer demonstrates convincingly that what the art market deals as art need not be "art" at all.

This fascinating book isolates the significant factors underlying the proliferation of pornography in American society. With incommon originality, Jon Huer contends that a culture with an insatiable appetite for the beautiful will demand it with ever-increasing intensity, and inevitably create a "culture of pornography."

The book explains how America's consumer capitalism created a generation of mindless citizens, steeped in the ever-present rounds of entertainment and distraction, who found their leader in Donald Trump. Riding the wave of white populism, Trump challenges Corporate America and its entrenched control of the American Masses.

Labor is something everyone hates, and something everyone longs to escape. Labor Avoidance explores American capitalism, the only social system that openly avoids labor, and how it has become responsible for so much human struggle and misery throughout history.

The way we live, work, and die-alone and with other Americans-have so many hidden layers that we might as well say that there are two Americas: one we think we know and the other virtually unknown to us. Huer discusses this alien part of America in American Paradise.

This book explores the nature of power in persons, groups, and nations by asking a question that we can understand in contemporary terms: what would Bill Gates do if he had Hitler's absolute power? Huer argues that the savage struggle for power is in our very human nature.

The most "efficient" system is one that controls the human resources by eliminating the human part and turning them into pure resources. Their ultimate organizational goal is to transform people into things, commonly called organizational behavior. This book is about the two best historical examples of such "efficiently-run" resource management.
