Best Selling Books by M. Christian

Carlos M. Christian made bad choices at a young age. At thirteen, he became involved with the distribution of illegal drugs and eventually served ten years in prison. From nineteen-years old until he was twenty-nine, Christian was locked away from society with nothing to do but think. All that time could have been wasted...but Christian took an unusual path: he graduated from Marion Technical College for business management with a 3.83 GPA and dedicated himself to improving his own life and the lives of those around him. Upon leaving prison, he beat the odds. Instead of returning to his old life of crime, Christian got a job, bought a house, and got custody of his son. An alarming 76 percent of American prisoners are rearrested within five years-so how did Christian buck the trend? The truth is that he found strength and purpose within himself...and the rest followed. In 2011, Christian founded the Starts Within Organization (SWO) to help other convicts become positive, restored citizens. And in Prison without Bars, a guide for those who want to take value from prison time, Christian shares practical advice about prison education, support groups, and some deeply moving personal revelations. Remember: when healing and personal development start within, no one is beyond redemption.

The city is terrified-a mysterious figure is haunting the streets of near-future San Francisco, drugging queer men and amputating one fingertip. What''s more frightening is how the attacks transform the men of the city. For what''s worse, a horror or that it can, so easily, turn any of us into something even more horrific? Erotic. Terrifying. Fascinating. Disturbing. Intriguing. Haunting. You have never read a book like Finger''s Breadth. You will never look your fingers, or the people all around you, the same way again.

Despite the fact that I would like to address this book to Donald Trump as an example of the most arrogant but foolish xenophobes, I must say that the book is intended for all people whom the only acceptable religion by the Lord, Islam, calls

This article examines the structure and health implications of two industries, chicken and tomatoes, that play prominent roles in US food and agricultural competitiveness. Both industries have become more concentrated over time, with powerful “lead firms” driving geographical, technological, and marketing changes. Overall, a processed food revolution has taken place in agricultural products that transforms the types of food and dietary options available to consumers. The nature of contemporary food and agricultural value chains affects the strategies and policies that can be effectively employed to address major health goals such as improved nutrition, food safety, and food security.

This Workbook is a necessary review tool of the whole of English Grammar building blocks to help foreign language learners from the Far East, the Middle East and South American pre-college students-as the selected names in the title of the book represent- review and consolidate what they have learnt in their EFL learning process as they prepare to pursue college education or apply for a job in today''s competetive job market. I have specifically targeted the pre-college applicants, with whom I have spent years of my life teaching, in addition to offering consultancy work in programm development and I know exactly what those young men and women need in order to establish themselves as successful candidates for acadamic, industrial training and for the job and business market.In addition to a sufficient number of Grammar Review Exercises, the Workbook also contains a large number of vocabulary exercises that will help the user to review, consolidate and enrich his or her vocabulary repertoire, also with an answer key provided at the end of each review exercise. The review exercises were not haphazardly written, but were the result of many years of personal involvement in program development, text and test writing, research and note-taking in order to decide which item must come in each Review Level, based on necessity and ease or difficulty. The user will, therefore, find at the beginning of each level a list of the items reviewed. This does not mean that the items may not re-appear later on as many may re-surface every-now-and then in an interesting cyclic way for consolidation, unity of topic, necessity and coherence. The journey into this workbook begins with a self- assessment that contains two exercises of 50 grammar questions each, the results of which should act as a guide to the Workbook user as to how much effort he or she may have to put in reviewing the grammar rules. The Assessment exercises are a gateway to the Workbook and a gateway to success in career and life. Admittedly, the workbook containsa some material of interest and benefit to different users, such inserts include a brief section of business and banking related exercises to provide a student of business, or a banking career seeker the chance to assess his or her level of understanding of some business and banking language expressions, which is by no means comprehensive; another insert emphasizes some common mistakes made by foreign learners. In addition to this, in Section Five of the workbook, the user will find a few vocabulary enrichment exercises derived from lively day-to-day conversations.Finally, Whether the user of this Workbook is a high school student, a university student or a job seeker, the Workbook is an excellent tool and ''A Road to College and Career Success'' only if the exercises are given the time and the effort required! My piece of advice to users is not to look at the answers provided until he or she has done the exercise, then to compare their own answers with the answer key provided at the end of each Exercise.Good luck in your journey, Leila, Ling & Linda!
