Contracts
The Essential Business Desk Reference
by Attorney Richard Stim

Most business people in this country have signed dozens—if

not hundreds—of contracts, from arrangements with vendors,
suppliers and clients to employment contracts, leases, licens-
ing deals, and more. But chances are good that most of them
didn’t actually understand every word of what they signed.
The legal language of contracts can be daunting to any non-
lawyer, leading most people to hesitate before committing
their signatures to paper.
Contracts: The Essential Business Desk Reference explains
contract terms in easily understood language. It is an
indispensible guide for any business person who regularly

Helps fathers maintain (or build) a close,

positive relationship with their kids during
and after divorce

Being a Great Divorced Father

Real-Life Advice From a Dad Who’s Been There
by Paul Mandelstein

About the Author
Paul Mandelstein is founder and
executive director of the Father
Resource Network (www.father.com)
which provides support and referral
services designed to help men meet
the challenges of fatherhood today
and improve the strength of their families and communities.
Paul is a pioneer in the field of personal communications
and technology reference publishing; as president and
publisher of The Book Publishing Company he directed a
line of books in the family planning, comparative religion
and community life categories. Along with other stints in
publishing, he served five years as director of publications
for a nonprofit charitable relief organization working with
the United Nations. Paul is a divorced father with three
children. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Millions of dads have gone through divorce. What lies ahead for these
divorced fathers is a challenging process of changing their marital
status and, along with it, their relationships with their children.
Being a Great Divorced Father contains practical advice for fathers
who wish to maintain a great relationship with their kids while going
through a divorce—and offers strategies for building a new life after
divorce, in which the kids are front and center. It addresses:
• creating a new home and making room for the kids
• managing babysitters, after-school care and other details
of daily life
• sharing custody between two parents/homes
• creating and enforcing house rules about homework,
recreation, bedtime, and the like
• communicating with the ex, including establishing
boundaries and finding ways to agree
• settling legal and custody issues
• dating and remarriage
Being a Great Divorced Father focuses on helping fathers create an
extended family through cooperation and collaboration with former
spouses and through prioritizing the children. The book contains
plenty of insightful examples of families who have met the challenges
of divorce and parenting.

Nonprofit Fundraising Registration

The 50-State Guide
by Stephen Fishman, J.D.

When nonprofit organizations solicit funds from out-of-state

donors by phone, letter, email, the Internet, or any other
manner, they must follow the law. Currently, 39 states and
the District of Columbia have some type of registration
requirement for charitable solicitations, and other states are
considering adopting such laws.
There are over 1.9 million nonprofit organizations operating in
the U.S. today, and most of them need solid information about
fundraising registration.
