David L. Brown

The Indestructible Book by Dr. David Brown is a very valuable tool for anyone interested in the modern debates over preservation, the Traditional Text, and the King James Bible. The greatest thing about this book is that it demonstrates clearly that we have an Indestructible Bible. It takes a lot of diligent study to "get up to speed" on the many points of controversy that are part of this discussion. This book is a great head start on understanding these issues because of Dr. Brown's knowledge and insight into them and by the way the material is presented. The Indestructible Book by Dr. David Brown reinforces, educates and strengthens our faith. It is worthy of your time and attention. Dr. Phil Stringer, Pastor, Ravenswood Baptist Church, Chicago, IL

Safari 101 is written for the hunter that has always considered Africa out of reach, someone who has a spark of desire just waiting to be fanned into a flame. The myths of being “too expensive” and “too difficult” are firmly entrenched in many hunters’ minds. Safari 101 has forty-six hints dispersed throughout 11 chapters and proves these myths false. Personal stories are used to illustrate the value of each hint and to make each one easy to remember. When Brown took his first Safari, he was forced to rely on word of mouth for information, as all of the books he found were for photo Safaris. This book takes Brown's experiences, and what he learned from professional hunters and outfitters, and puts the information in a logical progression that is entertaining as well as informative. The book will help fan the spark into a flame.

The economic climate we have today in 2011 has led to many large corporations downsizing their workforce. This is leading to a large number of individuals trying to find new employment. Some are unable to find the replacement position. What I have found is these tend to be middle age people who still need a source of income, as they are unable to tap into the retirement nest egg. At which point they decide to become an entrepreneur. This decision can be troubling as most of these individuals have never been neither involved in running a business nor have any idea as to what it takes to start one. This is where my book comes in and fills this gap in knowledge. From the Bottom Up is a book that will provide the information needed along the way as they start to plan the business. In the opening portion of the book we discuss what it means to be an entrepreneur and the responsibilities it brings. One of which is having a written business plan for the business. As an entrepreneur you need a different mindset from an employee of a business. This book will guide you through a creative process while providing you resources for information needed. The book is an easy-to-read detail of what a business plan is, how to write the business plan and how the plan is used in your business. We take it even further into operating a business. Time is spent on goals, setting and tracking them. Translation of goals into income and create a budget for the business including tracking income and expenses to determine profitability. There are some key take pieces from this book we want the reader to walk away with, they are: a. Necessary steps to write a quality business plan b. How to effectively market their business c. Describe who is their ideal customer d. What to know about hiring employees e. Setting goals and budgets for their business

Rural people and communities continue to play important social, economic and environmental roles at a time in which societies are rapidly urbanizing, and the identities of local places are increasingly subsumed by flows of people, information and economic activity across global spaces. However, while the organization of rural life has been fundamentally transformed by institutional and social changes that have occurred since the mid-twentieth century, rural people and communities have proved resilient in the face of these transformations. This book examines the causes and consequences of major social and economic changes affecting rural communities and populations during the first decades of the twenty-first century, and explores policies developed to ameliorate problems or enhance opportunities. Primarily focused on the U. S. context, while also providing international comparative discussion, the book is organized into five sections each of which explores both socio-demographic and political economic aspects of rural transformation. It features an accessible and up-to-date blend of theory and empirical analysis, with each chapter's discussion grounded in real-life situations through the use of empirical case-study materials. Rural People and Communities in the 21st Century is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in rural sociology, community sociology, rural and/or population geography, community development, and population studies.

This book examines the migration of older persons to rural retirement destinations in the United States. While the majority of older persons are residentially stable, those who migrate are disproportionately likely to move to a rural community. Moreover, with the aging of the baby boom generation, particular rural communities can expect to continue attracting older in-migrants in the future. The book examines rural retirement migration from the older in-migrants’ perspective and from the vantage point of the destination communities to which they move. This integrated micro-macro approach permits the authors to view older in-migrants as embedded in particular types of environments that facilitate and/or constrain their opportunities for productive living during older age. It also permits the examination of positive and negative effects of older in-migration for destination communities. The authors use a multiple methods approach featuring a panel survey of older in-migrants and longer-term older residents, in-depth community case studies and county-level census data analysis to produce a grounded study of population aging in the context of rural society. The analysis examines the challenges and opportunities presented by migration at older ages both for successful aging and for community development. The book pays particular attention to the process through which older in-migrants become socially integrated in their new communities, and it contains rich detail on the social relationships they form, the nature of their civic engagement, and the positive and negative reactions they elicit from longer-term residents. The volume concludes with a thoughtful discussion of policy lessons learned from the research, and with an examination of high priority research needs on retirement migration. From the reviews:"This is not just another book; it is a necessary book, the result of plentiful research and of a balancedwork project." (Environment and Planning A, 2009. Volume 41)
