New Release Books by Scott Bradley

In a solar system with five planets, each with its diverse race of people, skin color, and beliefs, war breaks out between Cronos and Atheni. The Athenians land six battalions in a small town on the Southern Ocean of Cronos and fight their way north. The Cronish soon discover the Athenians are born warriors, ruthless, and relentless, and the defending Cronish are like lambs brought to slaughter. The Queen of Cronos scrambles to defend her planet while her daughter, Princess Charline, heads off on a mission of her own making. As more Athenian troops land and cities collapse, two young Cronish girls, Rose and Ebony, escape to a space freighter. Subsequently, the ship and all on board are conscripted into the army. Here is a tale of wondrous worlds, mysterious intrigue, and non-stop suspense. Discover shocking revelations, ponder baffling mysteries, and then watch to see if someone will turn to face their seemingly indestructible enemy and provide the Cronish people with some semblance of hope....

Where some might find a cavern a dark and gloomy place, to me, there is no better, more relaxing place on earth, or in earth. Then again, I have been working in them since I was twelve-thirteen, officially. So I am more used to them than most people. Over those years, I and a few of my friends have seen some pretty unusual things. Not just the beauty of the formations and the chambers, but things that might curl the hair of most. I have heard, but never saw two little girls laugh. I have seen women from the last millennium dressed in their Sunday best turn into mist. I have made a Civil War soldier mad at me, and watched him turn into a ball of black smoke. I have heard the scream of a woman in the dark. These experiences are some of the most vivid memories of my life. Unlike some, I really find these things fascinating and consider myself fortunate to have experienced them. Here I tell of some of these experiences, and many others, including things that I have experienced with real people. I also relay some of the most unusual and, some might call intriguing, things about caves in general. After all, caves have been around for a long time and explored by thousands-in some cases, long before us. In all, I have to say I have lived a blessed life, and thank God for everything I have. In this book, I tell of some of the things that he has let me see. I would like to see more unusual things, but I really don't seem to have any kind of control over any of it. I do know that it has been fun getting there so far and really do hope it will continue. Only time will tell, and one day, maybe I will have enough for a volume two-that would be the ultimate. I do hope to have a couple of new books in the future, after all, I have dealt with the public most of my life. They are, in some cases, more fascinating than the apparitions that I have encountered.

As we have moved into the 21st century, we have seen a rise in curiosity about the supernatural. Movies such as Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings dabble in the occult and have glorified such things as black magic and casting spells by wizards as fun and harmless. In reality, this concept of the occult can be traced back centuries, and God forbids the occult and its practices and considers them to be an abomination. In fact, according to Scriptures, witchcraft, séances, casting of spells, conjuring the dead, and telling fortunes are all tools of the occult. These tools of the occult are not as harmless as many people believe but are invitations of demonic spirits into our lives and surroundings.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Its Nature, Antecedents, and Consequences examines the vast amount of work that has been done on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in recent years as it has increasingly evoked interest among researchers in organizational psychology. No doubt some of this interest can be attributed to the long-held intuitive sense that job satisfaction matters. Authors Dennis W. Organ, Philip M. Podsakoff, and Scott B. MacKenzie offer conceptual insight as they build upon the various works that have been done on the subject and seek to update the record about OCB.

A Kingdom Jack'd is a satirical verse-play based on William Shakespeare's Henry IV dramas. It opens in 1399 England, following the deposal of Richard II and what should have been the coronation of Henry IV. Instead, political machinations have thrust the clownish rogue John "Jack" Falstaff to the throne. With his band of cutthroats running court and the Lancasters reduced to mere rebels, Britain descends into chaos. The country's only hope lies with Shakespeare's literary creation Doll Tearsheet and his other peripheral, disempowered female characters. At play's end, peace is gained with Falstaff's flight into exile and the dismantling of patriarchal order.
