My Writing and I
MY WRITING AND I: AN ODYSSEY OF SWITCHING CAREERS AND BECOMING A WRITER is a first person account of how the author Jack Wiley made a career switch in 1972 at 35 years of age that stunned his friends. Four years after earning a PhD, he quit his position as a research physiologist and became a writer. This was not an easy decision. His idea (or was it a dream?) was to make his living as a writer and to live aboard and do cruising in his sailboat, Sea Puppy. He was fed up being tied down in laboratories and classrooms and wanted a life of freedom and adventure. He wanted to go off on his own so that he could do his own thinking. However, he was by no means certain that he could make enough mon...

The Ultimate Wheel Book
An "ultimate wheel" is a wheel with cranks and pedals that is ridden standing on the pedals. THE ULTIMATE WHEEL BOOK covers the history and development of ultimate wheels and the mechanics of riding them and gives step-by-step instructions for learning to ride them. Advanced skills such as jump mounting, idling, and riding backwards are covered. Partner and group skills and competition and performing are detailed. The ultimate wheel is fun and challenging.
On One Wheel
The author Jack Wiley wrote the first major book, THE UNICYCLE BOOK, ever published about unicycling. He now gives us the complete story of how he got started in unicycling when he was eleven years old. He learned to ride a unicycle, started building unicycles, and worked up an amateur act with a friend and performed at the Annual Fresno YMCA Gym Circus and at community events and schools. This book tells the story of how he designed and built unicycles and taught many people of all ages how to ride them. It gives the history of his unicycling writing and how he wrote more books about unicycling and related subjects than anyone before him. The final chapter is about novelty unicycling toys and whirligigs he designed and built. This is the first Unicycling Autobiography. There is no other book like it. It shows how far you can go on one wheel.

RESPECT
Is it possible that the way to win in business is to give employees exactly what they want? Yes. As RESPECT reveals, managers and organizations who give their employees what they want outperform those who don't. This is no hunch – it's a fact based on more than 25 years of global research. Drs. Jack Wiley and Brenda Kowske have amassed a research database unlike any other, and it all started with this simple question: "What is the most important thing you want from the organization for which you work?" Organizations that apply this research have more engaged employees, more satisfied customers, and better shareholder returns. It all boils down to seven key elements, summarized by the acron...
The Whirligig Maker's Book
THE WHIRLIGIG MAKER'S BOOK covers everything you need to know to get started in the craft and hobby of making animated whirligigs. Materials, tools, and techniques are detailed and full-size patterns and step-by-step instructions and illustrations are given for making fifteen unique animated whirligigs: Dove; Folk Rooster; Flying Unicorn; Girl Gymnast; Penguins on Teeter-Totter; Dancing Man; Unicycling Roadrunner; Carousel; Kids on Teeter-Totter; Trampoline; Ferris Wheel; Unicyclist; Flying Duck; Acrobats; and Clown. The projects were selected to introduce you to whirligig making and then take you on to an advanced skill level. The Author Jack Wiley earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1968, did exercise physiology teaching and research, and has written fifty published books. Dr. Wiley first became interested in making whirligigs in the late 1980s, and has designed and built hundreds of them since then. THE WHIRLIGIG MAKER'S BOOK is the result of this interest and experience.
