Willow Whisp and the Lee Project


Book Description

Evil, in the form of a delusional doctor, lurks behind a smile while he covertly plans to steal the renowned Dr. Lees medical miracle to extend life. Using an innocent woman, Martha, for experimental purposes, a sinister plot unfolds as a foreign dictator vies for the formula. Martha, who has no memory or the ability to choose her fate, is unable to protect herself from the insidious cruelty waged against her. With newfound strength and determination, Martha finally escapes from her antagonist only to find she cannot escape the death sentence he placed inside her. Willow comes to her aid too late but rallies against her nemeses. Willow Whisp, a female government agent, cannot save Martha from a tragic end but quickly retaliates against her enemies, bringing the devil to his knees with the help of a rash, judgmental sidekick named Jason, who dislikes functioning beside a shrewd female. The continual bickering between the agents puts the mission in jeopardy more than once, yet this bickering cements the relationship between the two agents, a bond that cannot be broken. Although obscured in the story, this is a tale of love and trust, success and failure; the journey two people must take to justify their chosen profession.

Project BioShield


Book Description

The anthrax attacks in Sept. & Oct. 2001 highlighted the need to develop medical countermeasures. The Project BioShield Act of 2004 authorized the Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS) to procure countermeasures for a Strategic Nat. Stockpile. However, in Dec. 2006, HHS terminated the contract for a recombinant protective antigen (rPA) anthrax vaccine because VaxGen failed to meet a critical contractual milestone. Also, supplies of the licensed BioThrax anthrax vaccine already in the stockpile will start expiring in 2008. This report identifies: (1) factors contributing to the failure of the rPA vaccine contract; & (2) issues associated with using the BioThrax in the stockpile. Includes recommendations.

The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness


Book Description

In preparing a book of etiquette for ladies, I would lay down as the first rule, "Do unto others as you would others should do to you." You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be impolite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us; a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; there can be no _true_ politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility.




Sheppard Lee, Written by Himself (Vol. 1&2)


Book Description

"Sheppard Lee, Written By Himself" is a satirical work from the early years of the American Republic. It was written in the form as an autobiography and acquired wide acclaim after publishing. The story tells about a young man wishing to find a buried treasure. Instead, he finds the power to transfer his soul into other men's bodies. This results in a picaresque journey through early American pursuits of happiness. But every new form disappoints him. Lee comes to the conclusion that everything in America, even virtue and vice, are interchangeable; everything is an object and has its price.
