About

R. Milton Quibner, senior fellow at the Pataphysical Institute of Northern California, is one of the world’s leading heterosexual relationship specialists. Quibner has developed a unique and hard-hitting self-help program for men based on Pre-Classical values and ethics. Quibner draws on the fundamental works of Western Antiquity, focusing on the ontological, axiological and epistemological discoveries found in the early texts as a means of shaping the male role in the modern heterosexual relationship, though Quibner does employ, where applicable, later source material. Aware of the impossibility of asking a modern man to emulate the rigorous virtues and behavior of a long-dead society, yet convinced the overwhelming majority of men are desperate for major personal over-haul, Quibner has designed a program geared to the more modest scope and capabilities of today’s heterosexual man.Quibner is happily married, a fervent and devoted Good Partner.

Description

New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky, winner of the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY....<h1>The Children of Darkness by David Litwack</h1>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series The Seekers. [DRM-Free]<h2>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</h2>“But what are we without dreams?”A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”Be sure to read the second book in this series, The Stuff of Stars, due to release November 30, 2015. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky

Story Behind The Book

I don’t purport to offer psychological healing, I spew philosophical insight that people can understand, a gradual process over time (which is healing, in my view), not a simple plug-in cure and back to the office you go. The book is a social commentary on men and women, poking fun at the entire ‘immediate cure mind-set’, the cult of expertise we so worship, while using myths, stereotypes and today’s so-called truths as I see fit. There are no products on the market which do what this book does, tying Classical thought, absurd reasoning and vulgar humour into a practical, funny book that calls into question licentious behaviour by excessively promoting it. It is not a particularly moral book but certainly an ethical one, for clear, ethical understanding is lacking -if not absent- in our ‘make up your own rules’ society.

Reviews

Blurb #1: <blockquote style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:.79in;border:none;padding:0in;"> As in all the best satire, Jump brings us profound, liberating truths in hysterically funny and seemingly ridiculous pronouncements. </blockquote> <blockquote style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:.79in;border:none;padding:0in;"> Wise-ass hilarity. Perfect tone. Commanding. Has the looks and heft of a best seller. Good satire is based on gems of wisdom. This is good satire.</blockquote> Susan Wooldridge, author, Poemcrazy Chico, CA Blurb #2: Magnum Opus... Quibner has written the syllabus for the modern man. James Katsaros, Editor-in-Chief, Nine Muses Press Occidental, CA Blurb #3: “Frighteningly lucid, funny yet damnably thought-provoking; I keep coming back... Quibner has a bold, clear vision of what ails Modern Man and how Today's Woman should be treated, and this vision, essentially, is the equivalent of scaling Mt. Everest in shorts and sandals. Quite original.” Fitz Wemberly, Editor, Cantankerous Leviathan Quarterly, Star City, NV Blurb #4: “Every subject carefully considered... a must-read for any man who has ever suffered in love.” Winston Archer, author, The Male Archetype On Trial Inverness, CA Blurb#5: “While it's aimed at men suffering from infidelity, I swear, this is something every woman should read. Look, he's right, and I want to be treated like Quibner demands, so Men, get over your laughter -and pride- and just do what he says!” Janet Gleason, author, A Healing Grace Belleville, NJ Review #1: Brilliant, laugh-out-loud hilarious and as in all great satire, in the wildest way, true, all true. Women rejoice, and brave men, too! Our champion is here, in the unlikely form of a pre-Classical sexpert, R. Milton Quibner. This book stings, smarts, flies and kisses. Quibner's outrageous insights surprise again and again. An impeccable scholar, Quibner peppers the book with astute and illuminating quotes from famous pre-Classical Greek figures. Part of the delight in reading Quibner's words is sorting out for ourselves what rings true and what is here to shock us awake with laughter, and a dose of sheer terror! One wonders, can this be true? Men, muster all your courage and read these pages or be left out in the pre-Quibner cold. This life-saving book for sissies is not for sissies! Here you will find all the fundamental steps to becoming the New Man of the 21st Century in a world (finally!) where women rule. As Quibner commands, "Drop your pride and evolve, dinosaur, evolve!" Women, prepare to embrace this transformational book with manic delight. You will reconnect with your sacred "evdemonia." You'll want all your friends to read about the many ways men can help you "take your place as society’s visionary leaders." This book is changing my life, I’m a new woman! “How High Should I Jump" may well start a revolution. Read these pages NOW to be at the forefront of an unstoppable global shift…. Susan Wooldridge, author, Poemcrazy Chico, CA Review #2: Beyond the issues easily gleaned from its surface, R. Milton Quibner raises the question of genetic drive, slave to specie characteristics; in other words, the stronger the male, the more he protects his territorial rights. Modern law, however, forbids this natural instinct. Quibner understands this critical tension. As to how to handle the moral issue, Quibner raises another intellectual problem, the struggle between the contemplative and the deliberative. Saint Thomas Aquinas struggled with the same issue, the one that Aristotle based his moral argument on. As you can see, and like all excellent satire, Quibner ultimately raises a profound philosophical question: what the hell do we do with our morals? Saint Augustine asked this very question in his City of God, but since God is dead (for modern man), Quibner has stepped in to create a Godless moral philosophy. Brilliant!
