Cameron Nation
Frustrated with the current political climate self-made billionaire, Chris Cameron retires from a successful hedge fund to focus on philanthropic endeavors. With the notoriety received after he competes in the World Series of Poker to raise money for his newest charities, the Tea Party member is introduced to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. A driven, charismatic, and brilliant leader by nature, Cameron soon finds himself invited into the elite world of professional politics. When Chris is asked to be the running mate on the GOP ticket, he leaps at the opportunity. The duo is elected and with the assistance of a super-majority Republican-controlled Congress they quickly implement a far-reaching agenda to restore the United States to its rightful place atop the geopolitical stage. Cameron Nation tells the story of how a street smart kid from the suburbs of New York City leverages a deep understanding of economic theory, the business world and the capital markets combined with the savvy of an experienced poker player to provide overwhelming strategic support and gain the trust of the new president and the growing conservative movement.

Anthropology of Landscape
An Anthropology of Landscape tells the fascinating story of a heathland landscape in south-west England and the way different individuals and groups engage with it. Based on a long-term anthropological study, the book emphasises four individual themes: embodied identities, the landscape as a sensuous material form that is acted upon and in turn acts on people, the landscape as contested, and its relation to emotion. The landscape is discussed in relation to these themes as both ‘taskscape’ and ‘leisurescape’, and from the perspective of different user groups. First, those who manage the landscape and use it for work: conservationists, environmentalists, archaeologists, the Royal Marines, and quarrying interests. Second, those who use it in their leisure time: cyclists and horse riders, model aircraft flyers, walkers, people who fish there, and artists who are inspired by it. The book makes an innovative contribution to landscape studies and will appeal to all those interested in nature conservation, historic preservation, the politics of nature, the politics of identity, and an anthropology of Britain.

A great appreciation and colorful description of Russian history is leavened by the intertwining of two passionate love stories, that of Jeremy and Chris, and a half century earlier that of Chriss grandparents, Count Yuri and the Countess Natashia. Jeremys adoration of Chris leads him to blindly act for her and her family putting their lives and his career in jeopardy. To Live Again has many twists and turns that lead to a surprise ending.

This book, originally written in 1982/83, marks the culmination of a philosophical viewpoint developed through varied experiences, which necessitated survival at all costs and the development of the sheer indomitable will to survive the rigors of international trade and business activity, with unexpected consequences after dealing with reputable individuals who later turned out to be unsavory. He is currently engaged as a business and financial consultant and investor.
