    Effectology(R) is a philosophical concept developed by Ion Grumeza that examines the dynamics of accidents and their effects. Even minor accidents and incidental occurrences can have unexpected effects, resulting in enormous consequences. Consider the following examples: -In 1920, King Alexander's pet ape, Moritz, fought with Fritz, his pet dog. As the Greek king was breaking up the fight, Moritz bit him, and he soon died of septicemia. Therefore, Moritz and Fritz decided the fate of Constantinople. It would belong to the Turks after the king died, and the Greeks never waged war to reclaim their ancient city.-Medieval alchemists' vain search for gold led to accidental discoveries, giving us today's table of elements. -After forgetting his culture of staphylococci, Alexander Fleming found mold growing on it. This led to his discovery of Penicillium notatum.This book deals with human relations, society, politics, business, war, the arts, health and more. By reading Effectology, you will gain insight into the significance of accidents and their effects.

    Laugh Your Troubles Away Through Bulă's StoryHumor helped the Romanian people survive communism under dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu.They found temporary escape from the hardships of the brutal regime through laughter. Their jokester-in-chief was (and still is) the infamous, imaginary character Bulă. Conveniently, he could critique the government and yet never be arrested by the Secret Service. Moreover, the charming, free-spirited wanderer can still delight any crowd and lighten the mood with his unique combination of wisdom, one-liners, and wry observations."How am I doing financially? I have enough money to last me till the end of my life-provided I die by 11:00 PM today."While author Ion Grumeza has lived in the USA since 1973, he has never forgotten his native-born Romanian sense of humor. Despite advice not to lower his credibility as a scholar by publishing political satire, outrageous advice, and unexpected comments, Grumeza has gathered Bulă's wit in this volume, for he firmly believes that comic relief helps heal complaints and frustrations."In communism, we had money and empty stores. In capitalism in Romania, the stores are packed, but there is no money to buy what you wish."Grumeza translates Bulă's jokes, which, along with the simple, silly fun they provide, also supply insights into truth and philosophy. So, for a touch of Romanian history, culture and humor, read this book with a light heart and let it add joy to your day."Jokes and a bottle of wine are cheaper than a psychiatrist."
