His first two attempts to launch this career, after spending time as an investment banker, ended as false starts when the groups where he worked ceased operating. He had no choice but to go to the only place he could get a job, even if it meant joining a firm started by a former communist.

One in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex, date raped, murdered or otherwise abused by a man. There are more than 150 million women in the United States and at least one out of every three wants to know why they are abused by a man. RIB scripturally and secularly provides plausible answers to the reasons why man has been set up to abuse and destroy who a woman was created to be. After reading RIB, women will see how they lower themselves in character, spiritual standing, rank and reputation. This book is a depiction of behaviors that are seen, practiced and accepted by women on a daily basis, without any regards to the degradation it produces for all women. RIB leads you step by step into understandings who women are, what man has caused them to be, and the purpose they have been mislead to serve. The wisdom contained in RIB has never been told or linked from so many perspectives. RIB is written with biblical and secular definitions, defining the actions of women who conduct themselves under the constructs of man. Artorius Rex is a 44-year-old African American male and single parent to one son. Artorius has multiple college degrees, including an MBA. He is a retired United States Marine who has been a federal employee for the past twenty years. For the last ten years, Artorius has been examining why detrimental things occur in relationships between men and women. RIB represents his divine discovery.

Russia in its "time of troubles," 1598-1613, is the subject of prolific freelance writer Shubin's new book. The author describes this work as his translation and adaptation into English of a variety of famous works, which he actually lists, a welcome departure from the common practice of a number of best-selling popular histories, such as Henri Troyat's Ivan le Terrible (1982), which shamelessly raided the pages of famous historians like N.M. Karamzin with scarcely a nod. However, Shubin's method does not conform to the standards of professional history, and it raises obvious questions about intended readership. In addition, the lack of any but discursive or informative footnotes makes it difficult to know who is being translated and adapted. Actually, The "author" (if that is the proper term here) has arranged the material better than one would expect, and even made it useful for totally uninformed readers just setting out to explore the subject. However it would be so much better for beginners to turn to complete translations of Shubin's sources, a number of which long have been available from Academic International Press.
