Just Only Slightly

 Book Cover



In this fictional comedy, the author paints a vivid picture of the humdrum life of main character, Paul Talkachev, a down-on-his luck guy living in New Jersey who discovers he is telekinetic. He can move and change objects without touching them and this is just the beginning as Paul sets out on a path of discovery and adventure. Landon’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s new book buying website: https://t16books.com/.

“I set out to create a fun, voyeuristic story about Paul’s life with its blunders, adventures, small successes, and friendships,” said Landon, who served in the U.S. Navy and has been a day trader, merchant mariner, locksmith and writer. “This story is a dark comedy banking on nervous energy amply supplied by Paul and the interactions of a man slowly dripping into madness trying to negotiate other people’s feelings and desires.”

A colorful cast of characters surround main character Paul. Lurch and Stephens, wealthy eccentrics, are on an all-out search for other “Exceptionals” with powers to join forces and conquer the world. O’kiki, another quirky “Exceptional,” enters the picture early on, and she becomes Paul’s partner as they attempt to fight crime, pull off a robbery, and find ways to use their power for good.

“P.B.’s story is such a fun and entertaining read,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His main character, Paul, will make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Paul is so easy to relate to, and the story is a great escape from the everyday routine into a world of fantasy and mayhem!”

Landon lives in New Jersey and greatly enjoys telling stories about everyday occurrences that put his audience at the scene. His second book in the series is in the works and will be published soon as well.

Candid: Conversations on Women in the Music Industry

 Book Cover


Candid:

Conversations on Women in the Music Industry


Best-selling author and respected music journalist Sammy Stein’s sixth book Candid relates the experiences of women from many genres and with different roles in the music industry and includes more than forty internationally acclaimed figures, including Dame Evelyn Glennie, Debbie Wiseman OBE, Jennifer Batten, Judi Silvano, Badi Assad, Liona Boyd, and more.

“Once I was contacted by people who wanted to hire me because they said they liked the way I looked in my photos—it was not clear if they were interested in my music or wanted me to work in a brothel!” Marilyn Crispell “Listen to yourself, know the industry that you are in, believe in yourself.” Dame Evelyn Glennie “I had to deal with men getting their appendages out, being accosted in dressing rooms, a sound engineer getting in my bunk on the bus [...] having to change and shower in the same rooms—you learn some funny dressing skills.” Jo Ellul The women (along with selected male contributors) discuss their positive and negative experiences and their ongoing journeys in music, presenting the reader with an in-depth, honest view of the music industry today. The conversational manner of the book is both compelling and utterly engaging. Sammy Stein instigates heartfelt conversations rich in insight. The book addresses issues such as sexism, misogyny, unequal pay, and the challenging situations that women encounter, but also includes a wealth of uplifting positive experiences and sound advice. It astutely delves into the need for change and how those working daily in the business can help facilitate this. The reader is invited into the dialogue. They may be shocked, or find some of the experiences amusing, but they will come away with a candid, honest understanding of an evolving industry reconciling its past, navigating the present, and looking toward the future. “I am proud to endorse this book as it gives voice to a diverse array of women in the music industry across different generations, genres, and sectors with fascinating insights as well as solutions toward a more inclusive music industry.” Bushra El-Turk, Composer Praise for Sammy Stein: “Best-selling author Sammy Stein stands at the forefront of excellence, commanding international acclaim for her authoritative prose and exceptional journalism.” 8th House Publishing

Physics: Science of Energy and Time

    Book Cover



Understanding physics can be a daunting task. Yet, at the start of the 21st century, this field of science is of paramount importance to society, whether through the countless technological applications that flow from it, or the responsibilities and consequences inherent in their use.

The aim of this book is to provide an overview of physical science, covering the fields of thermodynamics and quantum physics. The first part introduces the concept of energy metric space, with examples of its application in thermodynamics. The notions and equations associated with the concepts of irreversibility, speed of thermodynamic transformations and created entropy are redefined. The second part deals with the notion of time. It begins by defining the axioms that explain quantum physics, based on Everett's interpretation of the Schrödinger equation. It concludes by considering models of the evolution over time of a universe and a multiverse.

From to its entirely new content, its highly practical approach and the innumerable unblock it opens up, this book will be of particular interest to students, engineers, teachers, researchers and decision-makers in the energy field.

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

 Book Cover


MIND: PSYCHOLOGY

THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...


This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

3. PEEKING OVER THE EDGE The Conscious Mind: Assembly Required: The new evidence. The Brain itself cannot develop without experience.  Experience “hardwires” the brain; from language to sex.

4. CULTURE AND ATTRACTION: THE "WOW" FACTOR:  ANY STIMULUS—ANY EMOTION

5. THE MYSTERY OF INSTINCTS THE NATURE VS NURTURE CONTROVERSY The Real Story.
