From bestselling author and Emmy' Award-winning journalist Jorge Ramos comes a pivotal new book that explores the current andfuture power of the Latino vote in American politics.
The face of the American voter is about to change -- dramatically. With the growth of the number of Latinos in the United States, there has never been a voting block with the potential to determine the outcome of so many elections, both nationally and locally. Hispanics in America, native-born as well as newly arrived immigrants, will forever alter the way this country votes, and even how the nation views itself.
With a staggering population of more than 38 million and growing quickly, Latinos became the largest minority in America in 2003. The monumental effect Hispanics will have on all areas of American culture, especially politics, will be acutely felt as the 2004 presidential election heats up.
Ramos argues that the political party that can correctly understand the wants and needs of Hispanics will triumph in most elections throughout the country, pushing forward that party's agenda and solidifying its hold on power.
By outlining what political issues are important to them, Ramos underscores why America should care about bridging the gap of misunderstanding that exists between Latinos and non-Latinos, during this, the most divisive presidential election the country has witnessed in decades.
With It's My America Too, Ben Ferguson, the voice of America's youth and the host of The Ben Ferguson Show, one of the country's fastest growing syndicated radio shows, delivers his views on all the issues, from politics to current affairs to popular culture. Everyone wants to know what Ferguson will say next -- and here's your chance.
Ben Ferguson is a conservative who is also an independent thinker unafraid to take contrary positions. In It's My America Too, the twenty-two-year-old media star shoots from the hip and the lip on numerous topics.
Ferguson's message is clear. He is not on a campaign to reform liberals and turn them into right-wing Republicans. He is presenting his views on American society and challenging those who do not agree with him to an open debate.
Ferguson's pride in his country, in his religious beliefs, and in his choices reflects his vision of the American dream. He is informed and determined to make a difference. Youthful as he is, he has a unique perspective not only on America and its history, but also on current events and issues. You may applaud his opinions, or perhaps you will disagree with them. But for those of you who are angered by this audio, Ferguson instructs "don't just get mad. Do something about it."
If you thought Dennis Miller was done ranting, guess again. In Still Ranting After All These Years, recorded in early 2002, Miller is in fine form, commenting on everything from "War and Terrorism" to Enron; from "Obsessed Parents" to the "End of Class;" to "Truth in the Media," and so much more. Throughout, Miller is what we have come to expect from him: smart, cutting, laugh-out-loud funny, and more times than not ... right.
People will remember your writing if you use humor, which is often either ignored or misunderstood. Here are two original 90-minute workshops, ("Writing Seinfeld -Style" by Peter Mehlman and "How To Write Humor" by Mel Helitzer) recorded live, from experts who can help you improve your writing AND your financial bottom line.
This seminar, recorded live at a Writers' League of Texas seminar, is about the creative process and using the simple act of writing to discover who you are and what you think. International creativity expert Gabriele Rico guides you along your own path to self-discovery, reminding you to take risks and keep yourself open to discovery.
As Americans face the ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, Sean Hannity reminds us we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home. With his trademark blend of passion and hard-hitting commentary, he urges Americans to recognize the dangers of putting our faith in toothless "multilateralism" when the times call for decisive action. He believes that only through strong defense of our freedoms, at home and around the world, can we preserve America's security and liberty in the dangerous twenty-first century.
"Evil exists," Hannity believes. "It is real, and it means to harm us." Tracing a direct line from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin through Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, he reminds us of the courage and moral clarity of our great leaders. And he reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern Democratic Party -- from Howard Dean and John Kerry to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Hannity's first blockbuster book, the New York Times bestseller Let Freedom Ring, cemented his place as the freshest and most compelling conservative voice in the country. As host of the phenomenally successful Hannity & Colmes and The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity has won a wildly devoted fan base. Now he brings his plainspoken, take-no-prisoners style to the continuing War on Terror abroad -- and liberalism at home
Sowell's essays paint some hard truths, which are backed by his brilliant scholarship. He discusses many of the extraordinary ideas that preoccupy the liberal political agenda, exposing their flaws and submitting them to reprimand. He lays bare the errors of such phenomena as affirmative action, judicial activism, media hype, social security, and homosexual politics.
Making Your Story Better is the subject of this original audio workshop. Michael Hauge and Christopher Vogler, two superstar screenwriting teachers, conduct a point/counterpoint discussion of what makes a great story tick, presenting their unique approaches to story structure, character arc and how to give your story greater commercial appeal.
How to create powerful narratives using the myths that link us all is the subject of this workshop, recorded live at a Writers' League of Texas seminar. The instructor, Christopher Vogler, was inspired by the mythic studies of Joseph Campbell and the depth psychology of Carl G. Jung. He wrote a seven-page memo of those concepts for the Walt Disney Company, where he was working as a story analyst. The memo was a hit and eventually became his best-selling book The Writer's Journey.
In The Company, the largely unknown history of the joint-stock company is presented by the editors of Economist. One of history's greatest catalysts, the joint-stock company has dramatically changed the way human beings live, work, and conduct business. With companies now affecting the world on a global scale, it is more pressing than ever before to understand this driving force. A concise and entertaining Modern Library Classic, The Company is a fascinating listen with a reading from narrator Jonathan Davis.

Known for his award-winning fiction, Kelton, who in 1995 was named the greatest Western author of all time by Western Writers of America, is highly sought after as a keynote speaker. His vast knowledge of and passion for the subjects he uses as backdrops for his novels is evident in these finely-crafted, humorous talks. Finalist in AudioWorld's 2004 Golden Headsets Awards for Best Self-Help/Inspirational Audio.
