[ This is a pretty big and motley book in order to give an idea about the *cover* and it is also non-fiction, so that I have no idea here. I may propose only some greyish colour to hint that this is serious reading. ]
[ Remark for this site: I publish here <only> the Contents with the Abstracts, so that you have to search later the concrete work, but there is nothing so bad in this because there is nothing new here, this is just a collection of old works ordered thematically. ]

All volumes are:
I. Communism Versus Democracy
II. Market, Business, Economy
III. Social Matters And Healthy Life — This
IV. Sundry Other Things
CONTENTS (Of This Volume III)
00. Short Preface (to the whole collection)
[ Explains why the making of collection was necessary and what it contains (in all cases <nothing> new, but thematically selected). (2019) ]
01. Oh, 'manci, 'manci –pation! — when nothing is added after the title the piece is from the quite big "Now, Look Here (Publicistics)" book
[ The paper discusses a variety of drawbacks of unnecessary movement for emancipation of the women, pointing by this at a big number of <unwished> by the women consequences of this current foolishness of the half of humanity. (2002) ]
02. Search For The Woman (Cherchez la Femme) — from "Social Essays"
[ This is an opus about the women and the men, the differences between them, the emancipation, and what to expect after it. Regardless the fact that the topic is old as the world, it is remarkably actual nowadays, when the set for centuries equilibrium between genders is disturbed. (2004) ]
03. About the degradation of morality
[ This paper discusses, yet from general or philosophical point of view, the quite painful for more older people question about the degradation of morality, is it so, really, why it has happened so, to what this leads, and what can be expected in the future. (2012) ]
04. Neo-Malthusianism, or rational judgment
[ This paper throws new light on neo-Malthusianism, and looks more close at the question with overpopulation and how to fight with it. (1998) ]
05. Just <In>justice
[ This material discusses many drawbacks of the system of justice, together with two concrete scientifically motivated (according to the author) propositions: 1) about <unification of assessment of damages and guilt>, and 2) one entirely new idea for <personal modification of punishments>. The goal is to have objective, simplified and rightful justice. The material is intended first of all for the thoughtful masses, because the jurists alone will not want to cut the branch on which they are sitting. (2001) ]
06. Social Evils — from "Social Essays"
[ Here are discussed popularly, but philosophically and psychologically, some of the major scourges of the society, such as the: wars, violence, terrorism, corruption, and others, in order to discover their causes and reach to appropriate methods to fight them, which, in many cases, <differ> from the generally accepted. (2004) ]
07. Our Inability To Destroy — from "Social Essays"
[ This is an essay about the contemporary consumer society, that creates artificial things but <is unable to destroy them> later on. It begins with philosophical reflections about the world in which we are living, and then observes some concrete cases of such inability like the: revolutions and wars, outdated moral norms in the society, obsolescence of the things, garbage of entirely different kind, and other things, and proposes during the review also some directions in which should be working. (2011) ]
08. About the woman and the man — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ This is what is said, with following chapters: I. The Woman, II. The Man, III. The Parents. (2000) ]
09. About the mankind — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ Again what is said, with following chapters: I. The Society (and what it lacks), II. The Civilization (by various topics, stating that we are much behind the desired). (2000) ]
10. About the intellect — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ What is said, with following chapters: I. Definition, II. Reason And Intellect, III. Undeveloped Instinct. (2000) ]
11. About the religion — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ The said, with topics: I. Support For The Masses, II. Morality, III. Existence of God, IV. Atheism. (2000) ]
12. About the violence — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ The said, with topics: I. Necessity Of Violence, II. Acts of Violence, III. Conclusive Remark. (2000) ]
13. About the justice — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ Here the topics are: I. Between The Righteousness And The Justice, II. In Searching Of The Escapism, III. In Affirmation Of The Ego, IV. About The Happiness And the Moderation, V. About The Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Freedom. (2000) ]
14. Bulgarian Survival (Personally Tried) — from "Social Essays"
[ This is an essay about the basic rules for living by low living standard, as it is in Bulgaria. The material is quite motley in its character, but isn't abstract at all, and is based on checked by the author methods and techniques. The narration begins with general advices for reasonable way of life (which have mostly philosophical character) and the main strategies for survival, then continues with concrete recommendations for subsistence in urban conditions, with ways to avoid visiting the physicians, and ends with some special skills. (2010) ]
15. Cares for your health — only point 2. from "Miscellaneous in the year 2016", from "Now, Look Here (Publicistics)"
[ Contains some short advices for leading of healthy life, which cost <nothing> and are personally checked. (2016) ]
16. The Right Way To Get Old (advices to the pensioners) — from "Social Essays"
[ This is one of the last additions to these essays, a popular article about the proper way to get old, which includes some introduction, concrete chapters about the right look at the medicine and moderation, the dangers of fast transitional periods (here to the old age), cares about the body and its organs (based on personal experiences of the author), then about the brain, and philosophical conclusive remarks. (2018) ]
17. Manifesto of the IIE (Initiative for Iterative Elections) — from "Curious Manifestos (politistics)"
[ Contains one of a dozen utopian models, that are <better> than the contemporary democracy. (2000) ]
18. Manifesto of the NNO (New Nomenclature's Offensive) — from "Curious Manifestos (politistics)"
[ Contains one more utopian model of <better> democracy. (2000) ]
19. Manifesto of the FFF (Feminism Forcing Formation) — from "Curious Manifestos (politistics)"
[ The next, rather funny than utopian, model of <better> democracy. (2000) ]
20. Manifesto of the USC (Union for Strength and Competition) — from "Curious Manifestos (politistics)"
[ One more funny democratic model. (2000) ]
21. Manifesto of the CCC (Civilized Centralization and Circuses) — without Addendum, from "Curious Manifestos (politistics)"
[ Also funny democratic model, but easily realizable. (2000) ]

SHORT PREFACE (to the whole collection)
Let me explain briefly why I make this collection of non-fiction and what it contains. Well, I make it because it is so done, usually, because one writes and writes on different themes and in various books and it comes, if comes, time when he (OK, sometimes also she) wants to collect the things by themes, this is as if more proper, and an attitude more directed to the readers. So that after more than a quarter of a century literary work, and especially when I intent to try to sell something as books (or ebooks), I have decided to make four volumes with my materials, papers, parts of books, sometimes even abridged papers, on the following themes:
1. Communism Versus Democracy,
2. Market, Business, Economy,
3. Social Matters And Healthy Life,
4. Sundry Other Things.
These topics, naturally, are not strictly divided, nor ordered in the best manner, but now they exist and this is better than if they were not collected in this form. They are not strictly divided because the topics intersect, but not very much, in this way the materials are better located. The ordering of the things is as if chronological, yet not always, because of some local clustering in some sub-themes, what I find unavoidable. But, mark, that in all cases I publish here <nothing> new, this is simply a <collection>! And what will be in these parts I will not explain as redundant, the names are eloquent enough. Probably it is good to say what I have left aside, how much. Well, about 10 percents (in all cases not more than 20), because I have almost nothing that is not actual in the moment, or can not become such later, if the situation changes; I have left aside mainly things, Appendixes, which look more scientific, or too obvious and elementary.
Another reason, why I make this in the beginning of 2019, is that I have stopped with this boring (for me) practice of writhing in one language and then translating in some others, no, this will happen no more, because in 69 years one has to begin to value higher his time and do just the necessary. And, after all, when I have moved from my native Bulgarian language, to my very familiar Russian one, and then to the contemporary standard for a language, the English, intending also to translate something (the beginning 3 books) in German, I have come to the top, I have nowhere else to move. For a pair of years I write everything first in English and now this will be also the last language for most of the things; the possible exception is if I have to publish something in the easiest for me way (like I have not yet published my multilingual dictionary Explain, in Bulgarian, or probably to translate it in Russian), or if writing poetry in different languages, or, then, if I decide to begin to use also my real name (and this only in Bulgarian). Put in other words, here are non-fiction things that are translatable, or which I intend to translate; the poetry, obviously, is untranslatable for me (I don't mean to be like Shakespeare, or Pushkin, or Dante, etc.), for the enormous <Urrh> is impossible to think about translation, the <Letters> (to the posterity) is also difficult to translate and I have never had such intentions, the same about not yet published Explain dictionary, the SF-stories (which are not exactly SF things but rather outmoded social SF) are fiction, they have nothing to do with this collection, and whatever new book of non-fiction I will write (like my future “No problems poses problems”) I will write only in English.
So this is, guys and girls, if I were much read I would have adapted to the auditory, but if I am not, I adapt to my easiness and comfort. You try to do something better than this for the people, the word, the posterity, just for free, but I have done what I can. What means that I publish myself on many sites for free, and there I am relatively (for non-fiction) read, and I publish myself for some fee on some sites, and there I am <not> read (because the people somehow feel that I say <right> things, that are good and moral and necessary and allowed, and when so then they should <not> pay, they are used to pay for … silly or harmful or unmoral things, that's what the capitalism teaches us, alas). However it is, I don't think to become a prophet, I am rather an outmoded preacher, or, then, a thinker gone ahead of his time. Or also: those who are silly enough and need some teaching and instructing and explanations, they avoid giving an ear to me because they don't like to think (and this is <why> they are silly), and those who are clever enough to understand me, they avoid reading this because I say trivial common-sense things, nothing really profound, in order to be read as a must in some scientific area. The only salvation for me, or the way to glory, was to preach silly things that people can easily grasp, but I don't want to come so low, or to delude them with invented fables, but I don't want to lie, I am used to seek the truth, not the lie. And it is too late for me to remodel myself, you take me (how I am), or leave me (to perish by myself, like falling tree-leaves with the coming of winter, ha, ha).
Jan, 2019, Sofia, Barbaria, sorry, Bulgaria.
