In 1992, The Hologlobe Press published the science-fiction adventure book entitled Sheila Lake and The Universal Explorers: "The People of Glass" (ISBN 0-9627771-1). The book tells the story of a woman of Earth. She is Sheila Lake. She is a member of an organization of explorers that has bases or headquarters on a number of planets in the galaxy, and that organization of explorers is The Universal Explorers. The Universal Explorers travel the galaxy by means of tuned-portals. In this present-day tale, Sheila Lake will, through unexpected circumstances, have to do battle with Mishy Tess-Taaken, a woman from the Planet of Glass, who is determined to gain control of one of the tuned-portal stations. If Mishy Tess-Taaken should gain control of a tuned-portal station, maybe "Station Six" of Earth, she could go anywhere and at anytime.

I, through The Hologlobe Press, run a television-trivia-answering service that covers the television industry in the United States of America. Certainly, a person can find it hard to get answers to television-trivia questions. Since 1972, I have gathered about 102,600 index cards (four-inches-by-six-inches) with information about the television industry in the country, and I have contacts with other sources of information. If you have a question about a network television program or a syndicated television program, I might have the answer to the question. I do not provide answers to questions about local programs, such as local programs made in Chicago, Illinois, in the 1950s or local programs made in Seattle, Washington, in the 1960s. If you are seriously looking for an answer, I will seriously try to find that answer for you.

Extra information about The United States Book: A Guide to The United States of America
1. While writing The United States Book: A Guide to the United States of America, I was designing the book for anyone who was at least sixteen years of age. But while I was writing the book, I was thinking about some special persons, particularly individuals in other countries who might be desperately hoping to leave their countries and live in the United States of America. Today, Indonesia is a country that many women would like to leave, and there are other countries like Indonesia. A person who wishes to leave another country and live in the United States of America has a daunting challenge ahead, knowing nothing about the United States of America, and, certainly, The United States Book: A Guide to the United States of America is a book that can help an immigrant better than no other book can.
2. This book is designed for persons who want to practice reading English while learning about the United States of America; for example, individuals who are working to pass TOEFL tests would better themselves by having a copy of this book.
3. The book is excellent material for an individual who will leave high school and then take up studies in a college or university, since the individual will gain a wider knowledge of the country, gaining much information that was not presented in previous schools. Parents can give this book as a gift to a young adult who is about to live away from home for the first time.
4. People who go to college or university can become too specialized, and this book will provide information that will keep such people up to date on general topics about the country, or people who have been out of school for a number of years can spend too much time learning about topics that only pertain to their occupations and can become uninformed about other fields of work or other things about the country.
5. Individuals who are in the U.S. military and must be in other countries for a long time, such as a one-year period or more than a one-year period, can benefit from the book. The book can bring a person who has been away for some time up to date on what has been happening in the U.S. while the person has been away. A person who takes a copy of the book on a journey to another country has something about the U.S. to read and can help the person remember what the U.S. is and has. If a person reads the book while away from the U.S., the person will be more knowledgeable about the U.S. upon returning to the U.S.
6. This book is an excellent book for broadcasters, especially news reporters and newscasters, to have nearby when at work and to re-read from time to time, since it gives a good overview of the country and covers a wide range of subjects. A better broadcaster is a broadcaster who has a lot of general information about many subjects pertaining to the country. Certainly, "broadcast schools" do not give people who want to be in the radio news business or the television news business instruction in the topics that are contained within this book.
7. This book covers what newspapers and magazines do not. A person would have to read hundreds and hundreds of newspapers and magazines to become as well informed about the many subjects contained within this book as a person could be by reading this book. By the way, to gather facts for this book, I used well over 800 books and 12,000 articles as reference materials, and my statistics do not cover all the sources that were used to make this book. The book is made up of about 1,600 pages, and although the book is set up to present certain topics before other topics to a person who reads it from the start to the end so that the later topics will be better understood. a person need not read the book sequentially. Consider only one chapter: The chapter about news and information is ninety-pages long, and the chapter truly covers what will make a person understand the news-and-information industry of the country (radio, television, cable, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet).Remember: In the 1700s, the 1800s, and much of the 1900s, a person did not need to know much to live in the United States of America. Today, the United States of America is complex, and a book of a few dozen pages of text or a few hundred pages of text will do little to help an individual hoping to do well in the United States of America, and that is why the book is long. If you have the stamina and fortitude to get through The United States Book: A Guide to the United States of America, you should find comfort in the United States of America, though your day-to-day work in the country might yet be thought of as hard. But, in truth, I have done the really hard work, I have put together the book for you, a type of book that has never existed before, and what you only have to do now is read it and learn from it.

[ Return to the top of the page and the date posted ]By the way, I have created a document called Thoughts and Statements about the United States of America for the individual woman and the individual man. It is a document that has no association with The United States Book: A Guide to the United States of America. Thoughts and Statements about the United States of America for the individual woman and the individual man presents information about what the United States of America is, focusing on what The United States Book: A Guide to the United States of America does not. The document entitled Thoughts and Statements about the United States of America for the individual woman and the individual man is offered free through The Hologlobe Press (but there are restrictions on the use of the document).
