    • Mending Manufacturing
    How America Can Manufacture Its Survival

    Mending Manufacturing, authored by Peggy Smedley, is the most comprehensive book to cover all aspects of the crisis in American manufacturing. The author stresses the United States is facing a manufacturing emergency, and unless Washington acts swiftly and decisively, the U.S. could plummet into a second-class industrial power. It reveals the history behind the industry’s outsourcing of jobs and production to foreign nations, and questions whether the U.S. can sustain as an economic power without a solid manufacturing base.

    Fearless Faith and the New School

    Fearless Faith and the New School is the first in a series of books brought to you by author Rachel J. Newmark and Specialty Publishing Co. Each book in this series follows Faith, a young girl, through unfamiliar, sometimes scary, childhood experiences.

As we follow Faith and her family to a new town, a new house, and a brand new school, we learn about her and some of the worries that she faces. Faith helps children face their fears, understand them, and work through them. The lighthearted and repetitive nature of the book series entertains children while letting them read along with security and assist in resolution of their own fears. Don’t miss this or any of the books in the Fearless Faith series.

    Theory H.O.W.

    Theory H.O.W. was written to enable small and medium-size manufacturing companies who want to aggressively challenge the status quo. With more than 40 years of combined experience in manufacturing, supply-chain, and business management, authors Carol Ptak and Harold Cavallaro have developed applicable theories about how to run a successful company. Using the Theory H.O.W. business transformation approach, organizations will be able to formulate strategies that are supported by specific tactical actions, systems, technology, and other tools to achieve a desired, sustainable competitive advantage. The backbone behind the Theory H.O.W. process is actually a combination of key elements—the ability to classify, define, or characterize key business elements and their effects on business performance and your organization’s ability to produce greater results.
