This delightful read-aloud tale of sharing and friendship is based on the African-American folktale, Why Dogs Chase Cats. Dog and Cat are good friends until they buy together a chunk of cheese. As they carry their cheese home to eat they sing. Dog sings, "Cheese, cheese I'm carrying OUR cheese." Cat sings, "Cheese, cheese I'm carrying MY cheese". Suddenly the chase begins. This story is brought to life with this participatory cheese chant and Brian Wolf's fanciful artwork.

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your spouse if you passed away? Would they be able to find all of the important estate and financial documents required shortly after death? How would they handle organizing your funeral arrangements? How competent would they be handling all of the ongoing financial matters such as investments, insurance and budgeting? 
In many instances, these questions are hard to answer. But they should not be left to chance, and that is why this book is so important. In an easy-to-understand fashion, David Herbeck lays out the important planning steps needed to ease the burden upon the death of a spouse. You will learn what tasks should be done in the first nine months after a death and how a surviving spouse can make decisions that will help them face new challenges in the future. 
David Herbeck has worked with dozens of widows. While he taught them about money and financial decision-making, they taught him him a great deal about life. With their encouragement, he has added a touch of humor to An Act of Love to help readers deal with a difficult topic.

Cracks in the Foundation exposes flaws in the conservative position on taxes and government. Based on evidence, not opinions, the author shows that: - Our tax burden grew during most of the 20th century, but didn t prevent our prosperity. - Wealthy countries including several with high economic growth have high tax burdens; poor countries have low tax burdens. - Investment in the public sector makes us healthier, wealthier, and freer. - In the federal government, contractors and grant recipients outnumber civil servants more than four to one. - Outsourcing more government work to the private sector is apt to have a very limited effect on the cost of government. - The private sector cannot replace government in caring for the needy. - Faith-based initiatives may help the urban poor but they are no panacea.

Let's face it: there's a lot of sucky selling going on in the world today. Sellers have been trained to use artificial tactics in pursuit of the sale. Like a woman in a bar bracing for another cheesy, tired pickup line, customers are now warier than ever. 
In Love and Selling, Dan Smaida uses the Lens of Love to call out all those cheesy, cringe-worthy ''tactics'' and offer more authentic alternatives. The book uses the simple lessons we all understand about love and relationships to transform the way we think about selling. No ''sales processes,'' no seller-centric models, just tried-and-true behaviors that work in business . . . and in love. 
When sellers ditch the tricks and focus on developing true relationships, they create real partnerships with customers, enjoy their jobs more, and see better results.
