Описание: A four-year-old girl survives a harrowing escape across the heavily armed border of Czechoslovakia with her mother and brother after the Communist takeover in 1948. The family leaves everything behind to flee to freedom in Canada.

Helen Notzl's poignant memoir takes readers on a voyage between two starkly different and conflicting worlds - from affluence and fulfillment in Canada to passion and revolution in Prague. Must she choose between the two? With intense drama, vivid narration, and brilliant detail, Long Journey Home tells the story of a woman's quest for those things that truly matter to all of us: love, family, identity and homeland.

George Mergenthaler, the grandson of the inventor of the Linotpye, was an only child and at the time of his birth in 1920, became the sole male heir the family fortune. Tall, handsome, Ivy League educated, speaking fluent German and French, "MERG" as he was know to his friends, did what many in his generation did following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor: he enlisted in the Army.
Insisting on serving as a buck-private, George was assigned to a Recon Troop that would see action after the D-Day invasion in France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Following the horrific fighting in the Huertgen forest, the 28th Cavalry Recon Troop was sent west for R&R, to a small farming village in Luxembourg called Eschweiler.
For the next month the Recon Troop soldiers lived amonst the townspeople, sharing their homes, meals, hopes and dreams. A devout Catholic, George spent much of his free time in the town's small church, St. Mauritius, chatting and getting to know the local priest. Quickly the two bonded, sharing a friendship not unlike long-lost brothers.
In mid December however, their bucolic stay in Eschweiler was shattered by the Battle of the Bulge. Nearly surrounded by the enemy, the Recon Troop soldiers were forced to retreat from the town. Dodging enemy fire, their convoy drove down a winding road, towards the cover of nearby woods. Rounding a corner they were ambushed by the spearhead of the German advance in that sector. Pinned down with capture or death seeming their only options, George jumped into the command jeep and manned a .50-cal machine gun, proving how exceptional he truly was.

Описание: Halperin's subject is the erotics of male culture in ancient Greece. Arguing that the modern concept of "homosexuality" is an inadequate tool for the interpretation of these features of sexual life in antiquity, Halperin offers an alternative account that accords greater prominence to the indigenous terms in which sexual experiences were constituted in the ancient Mediterranean world. Wittily and provocatively written, Halperin's meticulously drawn windows onto ancient sexuality give us a new meaning to the concept of "Greek love."
Описание: A passionate and heartrending memoir of tragedy and perseverance from an opiate addict in an opiate addicted community, and an up-close look at America's new health crisis.
Nick Bush was a good kid--many of them are--and no one saw it coming. At first it didn't seem so bad. Then came the cravings. And then came Nick's status as one of the three million people in the United States alone who abuse opiates. Estimates for global abuse of opiates surpass thirty-six million. Deaths in the US from opiate abuse increased 21 percent from 2016 to 2017; forty-two thousand people died and, as a result, for the second year in a row, the life expectancy of Americans dropped . The death count for 2017 is still pending, but the CDC has said it increased substantially and shows no sign of abating. Both Nick's sister and younger brother died from opiate overdoses. So did many of his friends.
Incredibly, the stories of the people suffering from opiate addiction rarely get told. Legislation to fight the epidemic is proposed and then thrown out or insufficiently implemented. And people continue to suffer. Communities are torn apart from generation to generation.
In One by One, Nick steps out of the opiate shadows to share his page-turning true story. He is remarkably candid about how he became an addict, as well as the stories of those around him, the deaths of his siblings and friends, and what rock bottom is like. He also brings courage, sharing how he overcame the disease and inspiring others to do the same. This read brings humanity to the disease, faces to the addiction, and an understanding of how it takes hold of people and how to help them before it's too late.
