  • Publisher: iUniverse

The contemporary figure has somewhat similar characteristics to his father, grandfather, and great grandfather; a soul-searching thinker, all the same, departing from the ruinous while conserving the beneficial side of the culture, customs, and manners in which he was raised and the larger generational dimensions embedded in it. A virtual page-turner, the highly intense and graphically detailed saga reaches its most intense crescendo in this final installment. Characters readily identifiable in your own life, cheek by jowl with the hero and foe, percolate the gamut of your emotions. Rooting for the one while despising the other, you are propelled into the bowels of the narrative. Some person...

Many families are comprised of the good and the bad, the cherished and the reprehensible, some change, others never intend to. This is the generational saga of the ups and downs of one such family. In Stanoli, author Dr. Vincent M.M. Galici Sr. narrates the story of generations of the Stanoli’s, an Italian family involved in organized crime. It journeys through the lives of key figures in the clan and traces their lifestyles, ideals, purposes, successes, failures, and the will to march on despite heartbreaking setbacks and sometimes inhuman decisions. Filled with colorful characters, Stanoli provides insight into one Mafia family where the will to correct poor choices and make a better life for their progeny is the hope and dream. Some achieve it while others fall short perpetuating a seemingly insurmountable cycle. Yet with each generational attempt, courage abides and promise of a better posterity is cultivated. Some will never change, leaving a legacy of gloom and doom, while others become the better person, paying whatever price to attain the dream and leave a bright and happy trail.

Have you ever been enticed to believe in someone or something, only to be deceived? Primrose Path is an autobiographical account of the authors experience working in an organization founded and controlled by an individual, seconded by his family, and enthusiastically supported by his associates. But the problem is its a sham, one that is the very antithesis of what Christians are supposed to be about, more akin to a cult than being free in Christ. It is one of the most outstanding examples of a counterfeit in the Church ever depicted on the printed page. But theres more to it than that. It is the authors conviction that this story does not stand alone in what is going on today. He believes t...

The fourth book in the Stanoli saga plumbs deeply into the social, political, and religious behaviors of key figures in and around the family over multiple generations from the United States to the old country and back. The main present-day character can be summed up by how he endeavors to live his life, tackling his days by reassessing his own deeply held beliefs, getting out of his comfort zone, and trying things he typically wouldn’t try. He is similar to his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather as a soul-searching thinker, conserving the customs with which he was raised. As the saga unfolds, some personalities seem born evil; others lean toward virtue. Some are eternal optimists, finding happiness even in the dark. Some are risk takers, putting their reputations on the line. The Stanoli patriarch was fond of saying, “There is nothing greater than loving God and loving your neighbor,” but such wisdom is not always simple through the twists and turns of modern life.

Many families are comprised of the good and the bad, the cherished and the reprehensible, some change, others never intend to. This is the generational saga of the ups and downs of one such Mafia family, the Stanolis. The Stanolis, the third of four novellas in the series, follows the saga of the Stanoli family who originated from Mezzogiorno and Sicily and moved to America in the first decade of the twentieth-century. Involved in organized crime, they are steeled in learning from the past, and they often find better tomorrows. Filled with tales of crime and murder, as well as love, this story begins in 1932. The Stanolis, by author Dr. Vincent M.M. Galici Sr., deals with the main characters in greater depth in a complex storyline. Incidents and characters, both familiar and new, are reintroduced and advanced. The suspense rages on, and the scenic, historic, psychological, spiritual, and social crescendo continues to build.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
