“The book promises to stoke the timeless war between those who write the tickets and the objects of their affections.” -Caryl Segalewitz, Dayton Daily News “Wolk is either a maverick hell-bent on improving the legal system, or he’s a brash upstart…either way, he’s a hero with me for championing the cause of motorists who are bullied into paying traffic tickets…Wolk’s observations and hypothetical courtroom cross-examinations are fascinating…Prosecutors and city officials can benefit from his exposure of weaknesses.”
-Denise Smith Amos, Cincinnati Enquirer “Wolk rails, often humorously, against local government ‘abuse and misuse’ of traffic laws and doles out ways to combat traffic tickets.”
-Donna Robb, Cleveland Plain Dealer “Wolk’s tome offers detailed, step-by-step instructions for fighting all kinds of misdemeanor traffic tickets.”
-Bob Dyer, Akron Beacon Journall “Just like his current book, any future literary offerings will be in keeping with his philosophy—every citizen has a duty to protect the rights of the individual and to ensure that the government is doing its job.”
-Carl Chancellor, Akron Beacon Journal “There are good people who become lawyers…Wolk is one.”
-William Grim, Freelance A compact manual relaying a proven method for fighting tickets. Applicable to all states. Includes Pennsylvania turnpike tickets.

Back when scientists knew nothing about space travel, back when rockets were new, a group of Russian cosmonauts rode rockets to the edge of space and into earth orbit. These pioneer space travelers were dogs, space dogs of the Soviet space program. For 15 years, space dogs occupied the world stage, blazing trails as the first astronauts. Their flights taught scientists how living beings reacted to rocket travel and tested the equipment that would be used for human space flight. The age of the space dog extended from the first launch in 1951 until the final, record-breaking dog flight in 1966. Some dogs won world-wide fame. Most of them, however, worked-and died-in obscurity. They were all pioneers of space travel. And no one has ever told their story. Until now. Space Dogs dramatizes the training of the dogs, the harrowing early flights, the tragic accidents, the fame that came to the program after the launch of Laika in Sputnik 2, and the final flights leading up to the first manned flight. Space Dogs includes never-before-published photos from the archives of Novosti, the Russian News Agency.
