Abstract
This paper is a critical review and ?personal? examination of the women?s diet book, "The Fit or Fat Woman: Solutions for Women?s Unique Concerns." Author Covert Bailey suggests that women have difficulty losing weight because they use diet plans that are designed for a male?s physiology and thus the body chemistry of women do not respond as well as men?s to male-oriented diet plans. The paper takes a negative perception of Bailey?s book, as the author suggests that women can either be ?fit? or ?fat? and that there is no middle ground where these two elements blend, and that Bailey also uses a degrading writing style in which to address his female readers.

From the Paper
"This paper shall examine and address the specifics of Covert Bailey's book on women's health, The Fit or Fat Woman: Solutions for Women's Unique Concerns. Published in 1989 by Houghton Mifflin Co., this book immediately became a best-seller based on its humorous yet accurate examination of women's self-perceptions and issues such as dieting, physical exercise, and proper nutritional balance. Covert Bailey is a biochemist who addresses women's concerns from a fairly unique perspective: Rather than allowing women to burden themselves with diets that address a male physiology and diet, Bailey suggests that women have a body chemistry that differs from that of their male counterparts, resulting in inaccuracies when they use diets that are designed for men. This indicates that the use of these diets, while geared towards a more general state of health, also harms the woman through the time lost through following a male-oriented diet."

Abstract
This article discusses that Australian writer John Bailey writes an illuminating new book in which fact proves to be much stranger than fiction. The writer points out that as a noted historian, writer and lawyer, Bailey discovered the strange and bizarre case of Sally Miller while researching in Louisiana. He discovered that there was a legal case where a German born girl was sold as a black slave and battled furiously to win her freedom. The writer explains that John Bailey is accustomed to writing historical narratives, and this proves to be a mastery of his craft. The writer notes that his traditional approach to writing has been to create strong narratives that are set against a background of exotic and remote destinations. Having started writing at the age of fifty five, Bailey has a lawyer's approach to narrative story telling by introducing many elements of realism and providing a strong attention to detail within his works. The writer maintains that the strength of this particular work is not only Bailey's skillful narrative but the shocking depth of research on the true story of Sally Miller.

From the Paper
"The story of Sally Miller is one that truly brings to life both the cruelty of humankind and the savage nature of the slavery during the pre-civil war era. Sally Miller was born Salome Muller, a white child from Germany. Her family immigrated to Louisiana in 1818, but unfortunately both her parents died on the voyage. Left alone on the shores of New Orleans, she was somehow stolen away as a slave and sold into service. When she was finally found by other original members of her voyage, they were disturbed to find her not only a slave, but having no recollection of her past. The anger of the German community within Louisiana sparked the controversy that became a full blown trial to determine her freedom. The primary thesis of this book is the inanity of American slavery as well as the root issues of self-identity and self-determination that is inherent within the slavery conflict."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Ronald Bailey's essay "Silent Spring at 40" in which he challenges Rachel Carson's theories. According to the paper, Bailey asserts that Carson played fast and loose with scientific data in her attempt to criticize the use of chemical pesticides. The paper further highlights how Bailey successfully rebuffs Carson's initial claims in her work. The paper concludes by stating thatBailey uses hard scientific data to defeat Carson's initial claims.

From the Paper
"When Rachel Carson published her work "Silent Spring" it was hailed as a milestone in environmental policy. Scientists and the populace as a whole seized upon Carson's arguments and began to demand that elected officials take the plight of the environment more serious than they previously had. Carson's main focus was on the pesticide DDT and its harmful effects when integrated into the surrounding environment. Carson's work was lauded as one of the key substrates of the "Environmental Revolution" In Ronald Bailey's essay "Silent Spring at 40" he challenges Carson's..."

Abstract
This paper discusses "The Lost German Slave Girl," by John Bailey, a re-telling of the life of Salome Muller who claimed to have been sold into slavery as a child in the early 19th century. The writer explains that Bailey's book is based on newspaper accounts, first person statements from the actual participants, and transcripts of her court case. The main events in the story and in her trial are described. The writer points out, however, that since Bailey took exceptional license to recreate the saga, inventing a great deal of dialogue and color in order to make it more interesting, it is difficult to separate fact from fiction in his book, and this is problematic for a work purported to be historically accurate.

From the Paper
"Sally Miller, nee Salome Muller, had litigated a matter in which she claimed that she was a freeborn white woman who had beer wrongfully enslaved as a five-year-old orphan child in New Orleans. Bailey put down the Louisiana law books he had been poring over and read all that was available on the old case. He realized that what he was looking at was much more of a story befitting an author than would be the work he had contemplated. He dropped what he was doing and devoted his time to the telling of Sally Miller's story."

Abstract
The paper discusses the development of Bailey in Flannery O'Connor's short story, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." The paper analyzes the character of Bailey as an apathetic man who cannot prevent the massacre of his family.

From the Paper
"In "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" Flannery O'Connor introduces a number of characters among whom an elderly grandmother and an escaped convict known as the Misfit are generally predominate. While these two characters occupy center stage in much of the narrative and dialogue, other characters such as the grandmother's son Bailey are also vital actors inthe drama that unfolds and culminates with a mass murder."

Abstract
The paper looks at how Jerry H. Bailey and Eviatar Zerubavel have articles discussing the "periodization" of history- the idea that since time runs so continuously, historians somehow needed to break these eras up into distinct and discrete time segments. The paper posits, however, that the problem seems to be "lumping" eras together and asserts that Zerubavel uses the time prior to Columbus as "pre-Colombian" where everything from art to architecture to religion, etc. is "lumped" together as if it were simply one amalgamation instead of separate developments.

From the Paper
"The fact that time flows continuously and that there are no actual breaks separating the seemingly discrete chunks of history is a somewhat misleading statement for those who prefer a certain order in history. While time may flow continuously, one prefers to know the exact time, the hour and minute, the AM or PM of certain events. In the same way, those who study history cannot deem it to be merely one continuous growth or decline. The pre-Columbian Age stands apart, as does the Neolithic age, the so-called Iron and Bronze Ages, as much as we define the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and the 1960s and 1970s."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares the works of Lawrence Stone and Bailey Stone. The paper uncovers the ways in which these historical revolutionists place the revolution within the larger context of international relations at the time. The paper primarily focuses on the English Revolution and the French Revolution.

From the Paper
"Lawrence Stone and Bailey Stone both delve into comprehensive investigations surrounding the evolution of revolution. While Lawrence Stone aims to better understand the root Causes of the English Revolution, Bailey Stone explores the role that external forces played in the French Revolution. Both works are parallel in that they do not primarily focus on state affairs, but dive deep into the social fabric of the times in which revolution organically evolved. Lawrence Stone and Bailey stone examine external and internal factors, and they subsequently assess revolution in terms of the socio-political, cultural, economic, and international tensions of the times. As a result, they present a more thorough macro-historical perspective on revolution than previously offered by historians."

Abstract
This paper explains that the article "Customer/Brand Loyalty in an Interactive Marketplace," by Don Schultz and Scott Bailey identifies why some customers simply stop being brand-loyal for no apparent reason. The author points out the relationship between marketing research and marketing strategies and tactics based on the article.

From the Paper
" In "Customer Brand Loyalty in an Interactive Marketplace", Don Schultz and Scott Bailey explain the goal of marketing research ... developing loyal customers...but identify a glaring disconnect between the loyalty that marketing research indicates will occur and the measure of loyalty that actually occurs. According to Schultz and Bailey customers who claim satisfaction in various research situations often drift away from the company or the brand anyway. Even customers who have exhibited brand or company loyalty through their purchases over time sometimes simply ...."
