At the University of Pennsylvania, separate dorms have been set up for minorities in the name of racial harmony. In New Jersey, dentists who are HIV positive do not have to tell their patients despite the proven risk of infection. Grades are so inflated at Harvard that 84% of the students recently graduated with honors. Among women soldiers returning on a troop ship from Desert Storm, one in ten was pregnant. And these absurdities are but a few of the end products of a rampant social madness that threatens our nation--thanks, according to author Martin L. Gross, to a dangerous "New Establishment" of educators, judges, bureaucrats and military leaders who have consigned the concepts that have made America great to the cultural scrap heap. In his most explosive and powerfully reasoned work to date, Gross exposes the roots of a crisis that heralds the end of sanity in American life, and offers cogent remedies that can reverse the damage already done, and lead our society toward a greater, saner tomorrow.

Mixed-Up Morning Blues has been one of Mark’s most requested songs for the past thirteen years. Here it is served up by a righteous twelve-piece band with a ton of help from “his kids,” along with lively illustrations in an easy-to-follow book format. It’s an inspired project that beautifully brings together Mark’s extensive experience and passion as both a blues musician and an educator. According to Mark, you can teach kids almost anything with music, and they do “get” the blues.“Bring Mark Ross, a guitar, and a group of young children together in a room, and you have magic. Mark’s ability to use his music to teach language, math, anatomy, movement – you name it – all the while handling a preschool crowd that can rival any late night blues club, is pure joy.”--Linda Duerr, Director, Child Development Lab, Penn State University“When Mark comes to visit he’s a huge hit with our kids and teachers alike. Pure fun, that always leaves us wanting more! Mixed-Up Morning Blues is a great book and disc to add to your child’s library.” --Miss Janet Stay and Play Preschool, State College, PA

By now, Cat realised, all of her friends were probably dead. No doubt slaughtered as they’d tried to escape the church. Any that had survived were surely, by now, being hunted down and eviscerated by the creatures that had invaded her home.She hoped that their deaths were quick and that they, unlike her, hadn't been singled out for any special treatment. The Master had told her he’d very specific, very intimate plans for her once she was turned; she shuddered at the thought, at the memory of his caress.She would rather be dead than let him touch her again, but she doubted that option was available to her.Cat glanced over at the corner of the cell, the fine hairs on the back of her neck rising as a cold wash of terror ran down her body. At some point during the last twenty minutes the corpse had definitely begun to squirm. She'd seen his right thumb twitch slightly at first. Just noticing the slight whitening of the skin as it pressed gently against the bare concrete floor. The movements were small, almost inconsequential to begin with. Cat desperately wanted to believe that her eyes were playing tricks on her, that she was simply tired and dehydrated. That she was simple imaging things. But as she watched the body closely, transfixed with fear, the twitching became more rapid, more consistent, and without doubt more deliberate.“Damn,” she groaned, the word forced through tightly gritted teeth, her voice echoing back to her in the almost empty room. He was absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent moving.The yellow light from the single bulb cast a pale, sickly glow on his pale, yellowing skin and left no doubt about his current lack of mortality. He was also absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent dead.The Colony of Europa 451 is about to be invaded by a nightmare, an ancient, unspeakable evil that will feed on the blood of its inhabitants.Life at the far reaches of the solar system is about to get horrifying...
