Reality television: a loaded phrase if ever there was one. To some, it connotes trash: Snooki, Honey Boo-Boo, the Kardashians. People who are pathetic, immoral and disgusting. To others, it says irresistible entertainment: passion, hilarity, love and obsession. Whatever your feelings about it, there's no doubt that somewhere, somehow, you have come in contact with some form of reality TV. The very first reality television program premiered on MTV in 1992--The Real World. That one show spawned an entire industry, and created a new kind of celebrity-- what author Andy Binder calls "The Z-list Celebrity". In Andy's world, reality television and the Z-list celebrity is neither trash nor passion, but a way of life. Reality shows, despite their claims of unplanned spontaneity, are carefully crafted vehicles populated by various familiar "types." There's the cocky attention-getting male who has appeared on eight reality shows and calls himself "Mr. Beautiful." The sweet country girl with a boyfriend of five years back home. The Guido-loving girl, who tries to bring home a different guy every night. The Mormon from Utah who has never seen a naked girl in person. And the list goes on. These characters represent the full spectrum of American society, and they all play their parts with conviction and relish. But what happens when the cameras stop rolling? What are the real lives of these reality stars like? Does it mirror in any way what we see on their TV shows? Harsh Reality will take a look at the hidden world of reality TV fame, a world Andy Binder witnessed first-hand while running Tobinder Talent Booking.

Life and Death . . . Two words with such opposite meaning and which inflict such contradictory emotions and yet are so closely intertwined in our lives. As parents, we bring meaning and life into this world through our children. Our lives become defined as a result. We learn the joy, hardship, and responsibility of shaping an innocent life. But a day will come when that life will be taken. For some, death will come too soon. Thus is the story of my son, Brian Nicholas Hoeflinger, who died unexpectedly at age 18. Brian was drinking alcohol the night he died and drove drunk. His car struck a tree and his life was ended. Nothing about Brian's life suggested that he would meet this kind of untimely end. He was a gifted student and accomplished athlete. He was always generous with his time and words of encouragement to anyone who needed help. He was a good boy who made a mistake, and that one mistake cost him his life. That is the harsh reality of teenage drinking. I'll never forget the image of my son lying there dead on a cold gurney in Trauma room 24 at Toledo Hospital, a room that I have been in so many times before as a neurosurgeon but never as a father. His lifeless body lay there almost as though he were asleep, and I wished he were only asleep but I knew he was dead and would never come back home with us. It was the worst singular feeling that I have ever experienced in my life. The second worst experience in my life was telling my 3 other children later that night that their older brother Brian was dead. It was heart breaking to watch Kevin, Julie, and Christie say goodbye to their big brother forever that night. Nothing can ever prepare you for such an event. And yet from this tragedy has come guidance and hope for others not to make the same mistake. This book will take you on a personal journey through the life and death of my son. You will see through my eyes the pain and agony of losing a child, but you will also experience the love, inspiration, and hope that has resulted. By reading this book, you will learn how more lives will be touched and saved through the life and death of my son than I could ever accomplish as a neurosurgeon. This is a book that every parent and every teenager should read.

The author looks at relations between Africans and Arabs from a historical and contemporary perspective. Tensions and hostilities in relations between the two partly fuelled by enslavement of Africans in Arab North Africa and in the Middle East today, the mistreatment of African workers in Arab countries as well as racism directed against them in the Arab world are some of the subjects covered in the book. Modern-day slavery is one of the most disturbing aspects of relations between Africans and Arabs. Documented cases of Africans sold at slave markets in Arab countries such as Libya and Algeria are some of the subjects addressed by the author. Racism is one of the biggest problems Africans face in Arab countries. Some of the biggest victims are housemaids who are tortured, brutalised, raped and even killed by their employers, working as slaves for 18 to 20 hours every day, are grossly underpaid and very often are not paid at all. Some of them even commit suicide because of the physical and emotional abuse they suffer. The author has documented some cases in his book. The plight of African migrants in North Africa, racism against them and against black people born and brought up in Arab countries, the perception and image of black people in Arab countries, modern-day slavery as an accepted way of life in Arab countries, what black visitors experience when they visit Arab countries, questions of identity – Arab versus African, why many Arabs of North Africa say they are not Africans, what needs to be done to address the asymmetrical relationship between Africans and Arabs, are some of the other subjects addressed as well. The author also contends that there is an imperative need for black African countries to be more self-reliant instead of depending on Arab countries to employ a large number of unemployed Africans under conditions which amount to slavery simply because their governments at home have failed to provide employment opportunities for them. The book is also a “blueprint” for Africa's redemption and how black African countries can address the problem of racism their people are subjected to, when they work in Arab countries of North Africa and in the Middle East, and explains why there has been some reluctance by African leaders to confront the problem even when the whole world knows black people are bought and sold like cattle and goats in Arab countries to work as slaves. The author contends that the final solution has to come from Black Africa, not from the Arab world. Among the strongest advocates of subcontinental Pan-Africanism - excluding Arab countries in North Africa - were presidents Kamuzu Banda and Leopold Sedar Senghor, Nigeria's vice president Obafemi Awolowo, and Anthony Enahoro, Nigeria's minister of information. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has articulated the same position. And as former Tanzanian president, Julius Nyerere, Nyerere stated: "Because of the imperatives of geography and history and religion and language, North Africa is part of the Middle East.....Africa south of the Sahara is isolated....Africa south of the Sahara is on its own.....Therefore, to develop, it will have to depend upon its own resources basically. Internal resources, nationally; and Africa will have to depend upon Africa. The leadership of the future will have to devise, try to carry out policies of maximum national self-reliance and maximum collective self-reliance. They have no other choice.”

A prominent geriatric psychiatrist details the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of places where those with dementia are treated—from emergency rooms and psychiatric hospitals to assisted living facilities and nursing homes. The Harsh Realities of Alzheimer's Care: An Insider's View of How People with Dementia Are Treated in Institutions is the first book of its kind. Written by an eminent geriatric psychiatrist who has worked with dementia patients in more than 70 facilities, the book distills all he has learned about dementia care, for better and, more often, for worse. Both a shocking exposé and a practical guide, the book takes readers into nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. It reveals the inadequacies and dangers of these institutions, detailing issues that result in poor care including federal standards for minimum staff training that are, in some cases, lower than those established for dog groomers. The author cites improvements that must be made in emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric facilities treating victims of dementia, and he documents the downside of memory clinics. But there are steps caregivers can take to protect their loved ones—and themselves. Each chapter concludes with "reality lessons" that offer practical, affordable strategies for coping with dementia's many challenges.
