Packer Backer? Ya, You Betcha Dare is a light hearted look in the mirror of a Green Bay Packers fan. The book attempts to explain (through some very twisted science) how the Packer fans have influenced the success of their Title Town team. Rick Phillips, the author, holds a doctorate in Visual Pscyhophysics from the University of Wisconsin and severely stretches his science background in creating this light and funny read.

In this clear and concise book, Dr. Rick Phillips leverages his many years of teaching technology to nontechnical professionals by exploring the use of technology within the nonprofit trade and professional association arena. The book begins with an overview of software and databases - how they work and how to best leverage them within a business environment. The book then moves on to discuss when to build, buy and/or lease technology. The book next goes on to discuss the most commonly used information systems and how these technologies relate to the nonprofit association world. The book culminates with an overview of networking and telephony.

Safe School Ambassadors is an essential guide for school administrators, counselors, teachers, parents, and youth organization leaders. It challenges the current "outside-in" thinking that keeping schools safe is accomplished primarily by adults through heightened security and stricter policies.
