In Salvatore J. Bommarito's gritty novel The LBO, we are transported into the rarely seen, complex, and sometimes ugly world of corporate America. The story begins just as a high stakes leveraged buyout, predicated on an unsigned government contract, begins to unravel shortly after it closes. Anxiety results from the aggression, greed, and ambition of the players turning the transaction into an unmitigated disaster. The plot is further complicated by a corrupt United States Senator, unhappy investors, an ex-con with revenge in his heart, and then a series of murders. The story is a stark reminder that the unstable economic platform on which this country's economy sits is greatly influenced by many people vulnerable to greed and shameless abuse of power.

Something's missing! Many people are unhappy because they don't feel appreciated or fully utilized in their jobs. Many managers are unhappy with their organizations and improvement programs. Many employees and managers alike would quit their jobs today, if they could. A collection of great books has been written on teamwork that should have eliminated all of this discontent. This book shows what's missing in a clear, easy to understand, and practical way. It fully explains a tiger of a Process that will work in any team situation with robustness and speed that is equaled only by its spectacular results. It has been used in 10 successive organizations, most under severe duress, over a span of 22 years. With very little effort, the Process has improved all measures of performance by at least 25 percent in the first 6 months. Morale skyrockets; team member commitment soars; productivity, service, and quality improve dramatically while costs plummet. It excites teams, customers, managers, and owners... everyone wins! In at least two cases, customer complaints were 99 percent eliminated without even addressing them. This Process focuses on the goal, not problems. Most problems will either be eliminated - or will become irrelevant - in the rush to the goal. This Process consists of a mindset change and a weekly one-hour team meeting. The mindset is a new way to see teams. The meeting has only three agenda topics, yet it will replace many other meetings. This Process is self-sustaining and creates the critical foundation required by all other programs. Lean and Six Sigma cannot hold their gains without it.

Lebanese author Joseph Zaidan unveils the mysteries of the universe-physically and metaphysically-to provide the factual landscapes of science and ethics of the modern world. Unveiling the general theory of unconditional love, he joins medical science and the human body with the cosmos. The truth is, the whole universe-including mankind-essentially consists of an exponential number of energy fields. Furthermore, all matter, from electrons and protons right through to the periodic table, consists of energy. While medical science has taken giant steps, it is now recognized that the human body is not solely composed of organs, bones, and glands, but also a network of complex energies, which validate the esoteric and spiritual beliefs that are part of the world's culture and conscience. Dissecting the numerous dimensions, the author provides a remarkably succinct historic framework for the enlightened spirit and a world of pure energy.
