Now and Then Reader Nonfiction Titles Offer a Fresh Look at the 2000 Presidential Election, Sartre on Paris Under Nazi Control, and Ulysses S. Grant’s Memoirs

Holy Cow 2000 by Kenneth O’Reilly

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

Now and Then Reader, a new digital publishing house co-founded by industry veteran Ivan R. Dee, today announced the publication of five nonfiction titles now available for download through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBookstore, and Google Books.

The lineup is headlined by “Holy Cow 2000: The Strange Election of George W. Bush,” an eye-opening account of the 2000 presidential election by Kenneth O’Reilly, author of “Nixon’s Piano” and “Racial Matters,” a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

The company’s first list also includes:

— Jean-Paul Sartre’s essay on France’s experience under Nazi control, “Paris Under the Occupation,” translated from the French with an introduction by Lisa Lieberman

— “Abstraction and Utopia,” an exploration of abstract art’s early ties to utopian politics by Hilton Kramer, former chief art critic of the New York Times and founder of The New Criterion

— William L. O’Neill’s lively survey of the eccentric politics and culture of the 1960s, “Dawning of the Counter-culture”

— An excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant’s personal memoirs, with an introduction by David Hardin, “The Closing Rounds of the Civil War”

Now and Then Reader plans to release a selection of substantial pieces of serious nonfiction for e-readers each month. Concentrating on writings that are historically based but also have relevance for present-day events, the new digital publisher will emphasize original works by writers who are authorities in their fields, excerpts from forthcoming books, and reprints of material that otherwise isn’t readily available for e-readers. Priced from $ 1.99 to $ 3.99, Now and Then titles will be available exclusively as digital downloads and will range from 5,000 to 25,000 words in length.

Upcoming releases will include “Is a College Education Still Worth the Price?: A Dean’s Sobering Perspective” by Richard B. Schwartz of the University of Missouri; “John F. Kennedy’s Women: The Story of a Sexual Obsession” by JFK’s major biographer Michael O’Brien; “Artificial Epidemics,” a revealing look at the treatment of prostate cancer and depression by Stewart Justman; “Women in Slavery,” excerpts from Fanny Kemble’s antebelllum Journal, with an introduction by Catherine Clinton; “Expanded Powers,” Athan Theoharis’s assessment of U.S. domestic intelligence activities since 9/11 and their impact on civil liberties; and an intriguing discussion of violence in baseball by Peter Morris, the renowned historian of early baseball.

Ivan Dee, former president of Ivan R. Dee, Inc., and former chief editor of Quadrangle Books, established Now and Then Reader with co-founder Chandos Erwin to reach a growing audience of e-readers looking for quality nonfiction.

“The greatest problem in publishing serious nonfiction over the past few decades has been finding the audience,” Dee says. “We think it’s still there, but it’s nearly impossible to reach through the retail chains, and with the decline of independent booksellers and the virtual disappearance of review space in major print media, it’s a daunting task. We’re very encouraged that we can reach our audience through electronic readers.”

“The widespread adoption of the Kindle, Nook, and iPad has opened up a whole new marketplace for niche publishing,” says co-founder and marketing director Chandos Erwin. “Serious readers can now easily access high-quality writing on-demand.”

Now and Then Reader’s nonfiction titles and contributors are profiled on the company’s website: http://www.nowandthenreader.com. Previews of each title are available on the site and via the company’s Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/nowandthenreader. The titles will also be available for purchase through the Now and Then Reader iPad application in January 2012.

Submissions include rebranding efforts, promoting unique archives, awareness campaigns and community partnerships. Entries may be submitted by any library, Friends group, consulting agency or service provider, excluding libraries represented by the JCD Committee members.

JCD entries are organized around the following areas: needs assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation. Libraries submit samples of their processes, research, media releases, media coverage or other results received plus evaluation of the results and other documentation and supporting materials that show the scope and effectiveness of the library’s strategic communication effort.

In recognition of their achievement, JCD award winners receive a cash development grant from the H.W. Wilson Foundation. The John Cotton Dana Awards are presented during an Awards Tea hosted by EBSCO Publishing held during the American Library Association annual conference.

Women Grants Offer Free Money

The availability of free women grants has made it incredibly easy for minorities and women to get free money from the government to start their small business, go back to school, or pay their bills. With over billion dollars available to women, there is more money than applicants, which provides great opportunity to those who know how to find it.

The government has been providing women grants for several years, but only recently has it acknowledge the great contributions women are making to the economic system. College used to be primarily male dominated, for example, but now there are just as many women going to college and earning degrees. Similarly, more women are becoming CEOs and earning management positions in the workforce.

But the most shocking revelation is the success women are having with starting their own business. According to recent studies, women are 75% more likely to be successful at starting and growing their own business. That’s something that the government is extremely interested in.

]]>

Small business is the backbone to the American economy. It produces job, produces taxable income, and gets people to spend money on products and services, which are all good things for the economy. That’s why the government is providing free grant money just to women for specific purposes.

But it doesn’t just end with women business grants. There are also grant programs for single parents who need help paying for daycare or other bills, for example. The government database is full of grant programs that women can benefit from, and there is no limit on the number of grants that can be applied for and received.

That means it is entirely possible to receive a grant check for ,000 to help pay off your credit cards, and receive another check for ,000 to help buy computer equipment and furniture for your new home-based business.

Once you obtain these funds, you’ll never be asked to repay the money. That’s what makes women grants such a powerful and attractive financing option. Since there is no credit check, down payment, or collateral needed, women grants are the obvious choice when considering your other options.

Find out how much you qualify to receive in free women grants right now. Millions of Americans are benefiting from receiving these checks in the mail, and you should too.

FLM Quick Loan offer the cheapest payday loans within the UK

In life, unexpected bills, emergencies or a personal financial crisis can happen frequently, which inherently often catch you unawares meaning that you require help in the form of additional money. This is when a payday loan can be a useful service, providing a way to get money fast. However, one of the issues that many have with payday loans is the fact that they can be expensive. Fortunately, one company has found a way to provide quick loans but at a vastly reduced interest rate, that company is FLM Quick .

FLM Quick Loans was originally established to provide more traditional loans using guarantors to reduce interest rates and to be able to lend to people who otherwise would not qualify for a loan, however the company soon realised that this same concept could be applied to payday loans. They reviewed the market for payday loans and realised that most companies charged very high interest rates. However, if a guarantor could be brought into the loan, FLM Quick Loans could offer these loans at much lower rates than other companies.

]]>

The FLM Quick application process is very simple and can be done online. The applicant criteria includes the requirement that the applicant is a UK resident and at least 18 years old and not presently in bankruptcy or on an IVA plan. The concept of the guarantor feature of a FLM Quick loan inherently brings additional strength to the application, which in turn means a far higher chance of success. With regards to the guarantor, the individual must be employed, have a bank account, have a good credit history and not be bankrupt or on an IVA.

Adding the guarantor enables FLM Quick loans to accomplish two significant things. First, the interest rate will be substantially lower, thereby making the loan much easier to repay. Secondly, their payday loans can be paid back on a schedule suitable to the applicant. Many payday loan companies require that their loans are paid back on the next payday, and they debit your bank account. If you need more time, you have to file an application for extension, whereas FLM Quick loan allows the borrower to spread the payments over a period of time.

If you need cash quickly, a payday loan from FLM Quick loan, offers all of the benefits of a quick loan, however with the added benefit of a substantially reduced payment and interest rate and a payment schedule to suit your circumstances.
