These excerpts and complete E-BOOK chapters provide you with an inside view into the insight and help that my "for charge" chapters offer. Some articles cover topics/subjects which the related E-BOOK chapters address in a far more comprehensive and detailed manner. My E-BOOK is still "a work in progress".
