Download or read book Hey Doc Does Speling sic Count written by William W. Ward and published by CCB Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-17 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hey, Doc! Does Speling Count? is a humorous satire about the many failings of state universities in America. This book is for people who, like Professor Ward, enjoy laughing-those willing to poke fun at human behavior and traditional institutions. In particular, it is for those whose lives intersect American education. They wonder what's going on and why. "Hey, Doc!---" is for teachers, professors, education administrators, college graduates, business leaders, legislators, working professionals, serious college students, and self-sacrificing parents, whose monthly checks wind up paying for three-day weekend college football bashes. And, it is for Professor Ward's barber who wonders why his college-educated patrons have nothing more important on their minds than last weekend's football scores. As a university professor of thirty-one years, Dr. Ward has observed just about everything happening on campus-some of it is truly shocking. An idealistic reformer, he wanted to write a factual expose about university mismanagement. But, fearing massive retaliation "tell-all" authors attract, he shied away. Instead, he resorted to crafting his 5000 protest letters about university mismanagement with humor, satire, irony, and sarcasm. These letters became the genesis of this book. "Hey, Doc!---" provides a fresh look at the college scene, ridiculing students, professors, administrators, and union leaders, while lampooning much of what happens on the "State U." campus. When you are not laughing out loud with Professor Ward's special brand of humor, you will be shocked and dismayed to read his revelations of widespread university mismanagement. About the Author: A world expert in the biochemistry of GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN, Dr. Ward has 120 professional publications to his credit and has taught hundreds of sections of college courses, freshman level to graduate level. His continuing professional education courses in biotechnology have attracted more than 1200 industrial scientists from all around the world. He has presented 50 platform talks at national and international meetings, addressing up to 500 attendees and he has run three international symposia on GFP. Dr. Ward has given keynote addresses to audiences in Cambridge, England, Pembrokshire, Wales, Asilomar, CA, Blacksburg, VA, and Greensboro NC. He has been filmed by ABC for a NYC news broadcast and has been interviewed on radio. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Ward has appeared as a tenor in a dozen community theater productions including four Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Partnering with his multi-talented illustrator, Lori Baratta, he is working on four other satires, "Turn Right To Go Left," about New Jersey driving, "Snake Oil, Revisited," exposing over-the-counter quackery, "Why Do They Jog When They've Nothing That Jiggles," about the silly things people do, and "GW Bush, America's 44th Best President," a scathing expose of #43.

Book excerpt: In the health and fitness industry truth is a scarce commodity, charges Dr. Larry M. Forness. American consumers, exposed to a daily barrage of hype and misinformation about all the products and services that claim to make them healthier and more attractive, annually spend forty billion dollars needlessly on a cornucopia of vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, ergogenic aids, fitness equipment, and alternative healthcare treatments. In this "survival manual," Forness's goal is to teach consumers the critical tools to make them more knowledgeable about these questionable items. The topics covered include the real meaning of ôscientifically proven," methods for quantitatively analyzing such claims as "more energy" and "improved strength," alternative healthcare treatments vs. hard science, fad diets, aging remedies, abuse of the labels "certified" and "licensed," plus an extremely useful glossary explaining commonly used marketing terms. To reinforce his message, Forness has originated the "Bozo du Jour Award," bestowed on various individuals, groups, or companies that have created or participated in misleading advertising, or have done something that could harm consumers. Before you begin yet another weight loss or fitness program or buy the next healthcare product, you owe it to yourself to read what Dr. Forness has to say.

A renowned Boston therapist quits his practice to travel across the country to live for three months with families who have mental health issues. If he selects your families, be sure that you experience his brand of in-your-face conditioning with off-the-wall professionalism that leads to several hilarious yet provocative interventions, not to forget his very candid viewpoint. After four years of hardship, this changed man selfishly selects a family, the Neads, who live behind the green door in a very descriptive brownstone with too many secrets. When therapy failed, a grave circumstance ensued throughout the neighborhood, causing family friction. Hoping for an alternative solution, a hospital psychiatrist with a kind heart tells the mother about an unorthodox treatment plan performed by an out-of-the-box psychiatrist. Enter the Traveling Therapist. Weeks later, he arrives, parking on the street filled with neighbors who stare at this strange man getting out of his high-priced car. With a sense of belonging, he smiles and waves, then makes his way to the residence with a "tell, not ask" policy. Confused and bored at first to sit through his lectures of mental illness with his cut-to-the-chase style and constant reminders that he will not depart until satisfied. Confronted with a difficult decision, the family finally unites to make life-altering choices.
