Working
Ethics Strategies for Decision Making and Organizational Responsibility. by Marvin T. Brown ISBN: 1-889059-55-2 $35.95 • 219 pages • paperback First published in 1990 by Jossey-Bass, Working Ethics develops an organizational ethic that focuses on decision making and the design of systems. Brown shows how attention to ethics can improve communication, resolve disagreements, and set just standards for employee-management relations-and so crate conditions that foster greater organizational effectiveness. It shows how to use argument constructively as a way to direct ethical discussions to the heart of such basic, but difficult subjects as inequalities between employees, the proper exercise of power, and the relationship between rights and justice. |

Toward
the Light Prose-poems, Reflections on Evil and short essays by Hal Sarf, Ph.D. ISBN: 1-58790-026-2 $19.95 / paperback / 255 pages / 5” x 8” Evil is an experience that haunts the human condition as a dark shadow, casting its negativity and destructiveness on thought and action in both subtle and grimly conspicuous ways. The thinking person naturally wonders what evil is, what are its forms, why it exists and how it might be repelled or eliminated, although as yet there are no fully adequate concepts to fathom its complex nature. Indeed, if evil is life negating, wreaking havoc according to necessities that reason may find it difficult to penetrate, then it is an omnipresent power that wreaks harmony and tarnishes beauty with a dark touch of discord. |

Masters
& Disciples by Hal Sarf, Ph.D. ISBN: 1-58790-031-9 $18.00 / paperback / 195 pages / 5” x 8” The study of Masters and Disciples can remind us of an easily forgotten truth. Namely, that political theory, despite its self-understanding as an activity devoted tot he life of the mind, shows itself entirely to be a “human, all too human” endeavor that cannot free itself from the failings, fears, dreams and sublime impulses of sometimes conscious beings who come into existence only to pass away again—beings who momentarily seek clarity in a universe that poses infinite questions and provides no ready answers. |

Wall
of Darkness by J. Lea Koretsky ISBN: 1-58790-020-3 $14.95 • 126 pages • paperback Avi Hadom was a journalist for a busy city desk in Concord, California whose editor sent her to Hawaii to cover the Hawaii sovereignty movement. As she set about to fathom the question of an autonomous Hawaii, freed from nuclear testing in the Marshalls, Belau, Enewotek and Bikini, the Hawaii desk at The Sun Times had been informed of a grisly teen murder. Longtime friend and coassociate Libby Cramer invites Avi to widen her research by joining the experts in bringing a vicious ring to its knees. Under the vigilant pursuit of Detective Kane Honoka’a an all out manhunt ensues with Island police, undercovers, FBI and a bevvy of journalists who find themselves manning a command post round the clock over the next seventy-two hours, scouring the desolate wilderness and hotels as well as the pedophiles whose need for anonymous sex springs a leak. A must-read for anyone new to the landscape of pedophiles and pornography chat rooms, Wall of Darkness is an engrossing, superbly written novel about people caught in the unforgiving traps of murder and revenge and a lasting friendship between two women. From their relationship comes the inspiration for the denouement that brings these killers to justice. J. Lea Koretsky writes with considerable know-how from her experience as a psychological profiler in her capacity as a child abuse investigator. A longtime figure in mystery short fiction, her first novel takes a telescopic long distance lens to the sociopathy governing child corruption and child prostitution. Lea has published short stories for Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and WomanSleuth Anthology. She was Regional Vice President for Mystery Writers of America in 1994 and 1995, and is a member of Sisters in Crime. |

A
New Connection A Problem-Solving Approach to Chemical Dependency by JOHN FRYKMAN, PhD $11.95 paper • ISBN 0-916147-04-5 160 pages • 5 1/2 x 11 1/2 A New Connection is about helping people solve alcohol and chemical dependency problems. It is not a “true believer” book, offering an easy answer or magical cure, but a practical guide to developing effective strategies with people involved in destructive substance abuse. It offers “winning” suggestions in the midst of our current “unwinnable” war against drugs. People who have chemical dependency problems are seen not as a “type”, but as individuals in particular families who need specific and unique problem-solving approaches, developed from what they themselves bring to the therapeutic setting. Among other things, the book describes how counselors and therapists can create a climate of trust and rapport, in which a troubled person will feel free to examine her/his life situation and make appropriate plans for change. Most importantly, this book is a practical and pioneering guide for drug counselors and family members. It suggests ways to create a climate of trust, rapport, and communication in which a troubled person will feel free to examine his true feelings. The counselor’s role in the counseling relationship is an important part of this climate. A New Connection contains descriptions of the various stages through which a person goes when a drug-dependent relationship is broken. The book includes a reading list and a comprehensive glossary of drug-related slang terms. “Provides practical help in an often impractical field.” Richard B. Seymour, M.A. • Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic ”A New Connection is a thoughtful and sensitive guide to therapeutically connecting caring with care giving.” Dan Graney, Program Director, Ross Hospital Chemical Dependency Unit “John and I have been associated for over 25 years. This book represents new pioneering and innovative approaches to addiction treatment.” David E Smith, M.D. • Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic |
