David Hawk Explores Humanity's Broken Relationship with Nature in “Hello, We Have A Problem”

David Hawk's “Hello, We Have A Problem” presents a compelling exploration of the relationship between humanity, society, and the natural world, drawing from decades of academic research and professional experience. Backed by an accomplished career spanning engineering, architecture, city planning, systems sciences, and international business, Hawk examines why human attempts to control both one another and nature often create greater problems instead of meaningful solutions.


Through research conducted for his doctoral dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania and collaborative studies with organizations in Sweden involving twenty firms and six governments, Hawk reveals how strategic threats and coercive regulation have repeatedly failed to resolve conflicts. Instead, he argues that these approaches have weakened human relationships and contributed to the deterioration of the environment, encouraging readers to rethink how society approaches leadership, governance, and sustainability.


Born and raised on an Iowa farm, Hawk has built an extraordinary international career as a professor, researcher, academic leader, and program developer across the United States, Sweden, Finland, Japan, England, and China. Among his many distinctions, he received the IBM International Professor of the Year award and played a key role in transforming a business school that was recognized as the “Most Improved Business School in North America.” His lifelong commitment to education, innovation, and addressing climate change has shaped the perspectives shared throughout this insightful work.


Readers will find “Hello, We Have A Problem” to be an intellectually engaging read that challenges conventional thinking about humanity's relationship with each other and with the environment. By blending rigorous academic research with real-world experience, Hawk encourages readers to examine the root causes of today's global challenges and consider more constructive paths toward lasting solutions.

Max M. Gulias Explores the Human Cost of War Through Art and Resilience

Max M. Gulias' novel, “Sarajevo: A Novel,” follows two individuals whose lives are forever altered by the Bosnian Civil War, illustrating the devastating impact of conflict and the enduring strength of the human spirit. An award-winning playwright, professional screenwriter, published scholar and teacher, Gulias draws upon his extensive background in literature, history, and cultural studies to craft a deeply moving and thought-provoking narrative.


Set against the backdrop of 1990s “Sarajevo,” the novel, follows Sonja, a former ballerina turned Serbian militia sniper, and Faruk, a Muslim Bosnian ballet dancer whose family is destroyed by war. Though their paths never directly cross for most of the story, their lives become unexpectedly intertwined through tragedy, art, and fate. As both characters journey to America and eventually return to their war-torn homeland, they rediscover their love for dance and creativity, confirming that the artistic imagination and creative expression remain the paramount means of healing even the deepest wounds.


Gulias earned his Ph.D. in English Studies from Illinois State University and received the Ronald Williams Prize for Excellence in Playwriting in 2010. A professional screenwriter whose scholarship appears in The Renewal of Cultural Studies, he has also written fiction, nonfiction, drama, and screenplays while traveling extensively to explore the histories and cultures that inspire his work. His experience in theatre, film, and education enriches the emotional depth and authenticity found throughout “Sarajevo: A Novel.”


Early readers have praised the novel for its emotional complexity, compelling storytelling, and vivid characterization.


Author and teacher, Hugh Malafry, Ph.D., described it as having “solid detail, well-wrought scenes that heighten setting while revealing dimensions of character, and an undercurrent like a battalion of oncoming tanks on the horizon as viewed by a lone sniper,” adding that he would like to see an art film worthy of the novel.


Patrick Mooney, M.A., teacher and scholar, writes: “The writing is well-executed, insightful, and occasionally screamingly funny. Hats off to the author for not turning it into a mawkish love-across-enemy lines story; the ending is different and probably not what you'd expect, and is tonally perfect for the story that the novel tells.”


“Sarajevo: A Novel” invites readers to witness the resilience of the human spirit through a gripping tale of war, loss, and the transformative power of art. An engaging novel, it is now available for purchase on Amazon and other major online book retailers.

Michele Heeney Invites Readers on a Lyrical Voyage Through Memory, Nature, and the Human Spirit in “Take Any Ship That Sails”

Some journeys begin with a destination. Others begin with a question, a memory, a distant horizon, or the quiet pull of something waiting to be discovered.


In “Take Any Ship That Sails,” author and poet Michele Heeney invites readers to embark on an intimate literary voyage spanning more than four decades of observation, experience, movement, and reflection. Written across 45 years, the collection brings together poetry inspired by travel, medicine, nature, relationships, art, spirituality, and the mysterious inner landscapes that shape a human life.


Like a ship moving slowly across the horizon at dawn, Heeney's poetry carries readers through changing environments and seasons of the self. From the Pennsylvania countryside to the creative energy of 1960s San Francisco, from the dramatic coastline of Marin County and Big Sur to desert mesas, tropical shores, West Africa, Mexico, and places of quiet solitude, the poems move across both physical and emotional terrain.


Yet “Take Any Ship That Sails” is not simply a record of destinations.


It is a book about what happens within us while we are moving.


Through elegant, contemplative language, Heeney explores the memories people carry, the choices that shape them, and the moments that continue to echo long after they have passed. Her poems examine time, freedom, passion, love, beauty, loss, service, aging, creativity, spirituality, and the enduring human desire to understand one's place in the world.


The result is a collection that feels at once expansive and deeply personal.


Readers may encounter the stillness of moonlight over water, the untamed energy of horses running through golden dust, the wind passing through dry grass and juniper trees, the hush of a hospital hallway, or the private ritual of a poet writing beside a rain-covered window. These images are not presented merely as scenery. They become emotional doorways, opening into questions about identity, purpose, memory, and connection.


Heeney's years of work in obstetrics and gynecology also inform the collection's awareness of human vulnerability, care, transition, and resilience. Her medical experiences placed her close to some of life's most intimate and transformative moments, giving her a profound perspective on birth, change, uncertainty, strength, and the many ways people carry hope.


That world of service exists alongside another essential part of the poet's life: solitude.


In “Take Any Ship That Sails,” the outward-facing work of caring for others meets the inward work of listening. The poems suggest that solitude is not emptiness, but a space where memory can speak, where nature can be heard, and where the self can begin to recognize what has been waiting beneath the noise of everyday life.


“Poetry becomes a way of listening” is one of the ideas at the heart of the collection.


Heeney listens to the landscapes she has crossed, the people she has known, the cultures she has encountered, and the changing voice within herself. Her work reflects a life shaped by movement, yet it repeatedly returns to stillness: a page, a window, a night sky, an open road, or a small light glowing in darkness.


The highlighted poem “Calling” captures the collection's sense of invitation and discovery through the haunting phrase:


“Over here… come find me.”


The words suggest something distant but familiar - a forgotten memory, an undiscovered truth, a spiritual presence, or perhaps a hidden part of the self. It is this sense of searching that gives the collection much of its emotional power.


Rather than offering simple answers, Heeney's poetry encourages readers to remain curious. Her poems invite them to notice what is often overlooked: the movement of clouds, the texture of an old photograph, the silence between conversations, the meaning held in a landscape, or the unexpected return of a memory thought to be lost.


The title, “Take Any Ship That Sails,” becomes both an invitation and a philosophy.


It suggests courage, openness, and the willingness to enter the unknown. The ship may represent travel, artistic expression, personal transformation, or the passage of time itself. Whatever form it takes, the journey asks readers to leave the safety of the familiar and trust what may be waiting beyond the horizon.


This is a collection for travelers, dreamers, artists, seekers, nature lovers, and anyone who has ever looked back on a life and wondered how its scattered moments became a story.


It will resonate with readers who appreciate poetry that is visual, reflective, spiritually curious, and grounded in lived experience. Heeney's words offer space to pause and remember, while also encouraging readers to continue moving toward wonder, possibility, and deeper self-understanding.


With its blend of memoir, poetic imagery, cultural exploration, and quiet spiritual reflection, “Take Any Ship That Sails” reminds readers that a life is not defined by one place, one profession, one relationship, or one chapter. It is shaped by every road followed, every shoreline crossed, every person encountered, and every moment when the heart was brave enough to listen.


Michele Heeney's collection does not ask readers simply to observe her journey.


It asks them to recognize their own.


About the Book:
“Take Any Ship That Sails” is a poetry collection by Michele Heeney featuring work written across 45 years of life, travel, reflection, service, and personal change. Moving through themes of time, art, nature, love, freedom, memory, passion, culture, spirituality, and the inner self, the collection presents poetry as both a record of experience and a way of listening more deeply to the world.


Availability:
“Take Any Ship That Sails” is available through Michele Heeney's official website. To learn more about the book and the author, visit MicheleHeeney.com Take the journey.


Follow the horizon. Listen for the calling. And take any ship that sails.

Inventor Scientist Raul Cuero, PhD, Turns Pandemic Fear Into Scientific Wonder

What if the invisible world that once frightened millions could become a place of discovery, imagination, and understanding? In “Tales of the Covid Mutants: Learning the Secrets of the Ghosty Virus,” microbiologist, inventor, and educator Raul Cuero, PhD, transforms the science of COVID-19 into an engaging cartoony story tale that is accessible, timely, and full of curiosity. COVID mutants are the main characters of this story because they are the ultimate post-pandemic challenge for controlling future pandemics.


Written in the wake of the pandemic, the book follows MoMo, a young coronavirus mutant born from a series of variants, as he travels through farms, forests, cities, homes, crowded restaurants, playgrounds, and even the human body. Along the way, readers encounter the Alchemist, ghost-like virus characters, and colorful illustrations that turn scientific concepts into a memorable adventure.


Rather than presenting science as a difficult textbook lesson, Dr. Cuero uses storytelling, humor, and visual imagination to explain ideas such as RNA, viral envelopes, spike proteins, receptors, host cells, transmission, mutation, and the body's immune defenders, including T and B cells. The result is a book that helps readers approach a once-frightening subject with confidence instead of fear.


“Tales of the Covid Mutants” is especially valuable for both young and adult people, families, classrooms, and libraries to develop a natural appreciation of science because it opens the door to meaningful conversations about how viruses behave, why they change, and why scientific understanding matters. It is a must-have for readers who want a creative, educational, and approachable way to revisit one of the most important global events of our time.


This book is not only based on the scientific experience of the author but also his human living experience, which taught him that life is constant changes or mutations that bring challenges which can only be overcome trough being knowledgeable and creative. He has expressed these experiences and ideas in several of his other book publications (www.raulcuero.com)


The book also carries a powerful message: knowledge reduces fear. Through MoMo's journey, readers are reminded that the unknown becomes less intimidating when it is explored with curiosity, clear thinking, and imagination.
