We recently lost our beloved pet Bear, who was not only our best and dearest friend but also the Vice President of Sunshine here at Atlantic Publishing. He did not receive a salary but worked tirelessly 24 hours a day to please his parents. Bear was a rescue dog that turned around and showered myself, my wife, Sherri, his grandparents Jean, Bob, and Nancy, and every person and animal he met (maybe not rabbits) with friendship and love. He made a lot of people smile every day.

We wanted you to know that a portion of the profits of this book will be donated to The Humane Society of the United States. Douglas & Sherri Brown

The human-animal bond is as old as human history. We cherish our animal companions for their unconditional affection and acceptance. We feel a thrill when we glimpse wild creatures in their natural habitat or in our own backyard.

Unfortunately, the human-animal bond has at times been weakened. Humans have exploited some animal species to the point of extinction.

The Humane Society of the United States makes a difference in the lives of animals here at home and worldwide. The HSUS is dedicated to creating a world where our relationship with animals is guided by compassion. We seek a truly humane society in which animals are respected for their intrinsic value, and where the human-animal bond is strong.

Want to help animals? We have plenty of suggestions. Adopt a pet from a local shelter, join The Humane Society and be a part of our work to help companion animals and wildlife. You will be funding our educational, legislative, investigative and outreach projects in the U.S. and across the globe.

Or perhaps youd like to make a memorial donation in honor of a pet, friend or relative? You can through our Kindred Spirits program. And if youd like to contribute in a more structured way, our Planned Giving Office has suggestions about estate planning, annuities, and even gifts of stock that avoid capital gains taxes.

Maybe you have land that you would like to preserve as a lasting habitat for wildlife. Our Wildlife Land Trust can help you. Perhaps the land you want to share is a backyardthats enough. Our Urban Wildlife Sanctuary Program will show you how to create a habitat for your wild neighbors.

So you see, its easy to help animals. And The HSUS is here to help.

In How to Get the Raise You Want in 90 Days or Less: A Step-by-Step Plan for Making It Happen, author Kathy M. Barnes-Hemsworth has succeeded in creating a comprehensive go-to resource for people serious about turning their financial goals into a reality and implementing a plan to heighten and earn their value in todays competitive employment market.

With every fiber of my being, I believe that it is every persons inalienable right to create a career that allows them to earn an abundant salary, still have a personal life, enjoy what they do, and feel successful, happy, and healthy. The skills that it takes to create this type of career, however, are not innate to us, but rather something that most of us need to learn, and Kathys book is a smart and sensible place to acquire the necessary knowledge one needs to build a stable career foundation.
