[ "From Publishers Weekly", "Dr. Joseph has a sense of timing, humor and drama in telling the story of his chiropractic practice. What he lacks is a sense of humility. The tales of his training and of patients he has treated are laced with frequent put-downs of mainstream medicine, experimental psychology and even patients (some of whom \"just don't want to get better\"). He claims to have effected miracle cures for everything from impotence and infertility to Bell's Palsy; praises his own ability to diagnose ailments; and elevates himself above the law by performing acupuncture, although state law forbade him from doing so. His myopia even affects his private life--so obsessed is he with his fantasy of the \"perfect doctor's wife\" that he is unable to understand the needs of his flesh-and-blood wife. Both Joseph and his autobiography are most appealing when he recognizes his flaws and, when he serves as a reporter, observing his patients' lives (and deaths). Indeed the single most heartfelt anecdote relates his experiences treating the symptoms of an AIDS patient, largely because he confines himself to reporting that patient's comments.

Initially, I underestimated the consequences of the story and it was only as I delved into the detail that I began to appreciate quite how traumatic events must have been. The events of 1888 (the key year in the story) were never spoken about by anyone in the family.

Ordorica’s own story, of ancestry, nationhood, activism and queerness, through childhood photographs, across international highways, to tales of love and loss, and beyond.

[ "In this tell-all memoir, the only daughter of the man who was considered the \"brains of the Mob\" opens the door on her glamorous-and tragic-life. Sandi Lansky Lombardo, daughter of Mob boss Meyer Lansky, was raised in New York City in upper-class Jewish splendor and spent her childhood in the undeniable glitz of Havana and Las Vegas in Lansky's heyday in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. She dined out with her father and his associates when she was six and was introduced to Frank Sinatra when she was eleven. She knew Bugsy Siegel and Uncle Lucky Luciano and met Howard Hughes and Joseph Kennedy. She was the Paris Hilton of her day: partying until dawn at El Morocco and the Stork Club, married at sixteen, romanced by Dean Martin at nineteen. She was pampered and protected, but her life was also full of tragedy: her mother was mentally ill and her eldest brother severely handicapped, and Mob violence repeatedly invaded the world of their friends and family. In Daughter of the King, Sandi recounts for the first time the grandeur-and heartbreak-of her life as the daughter of one of the most powerful mobsters in America. Sandi takes listeners back in time to tell the story of her life-one lived in a glamorous but troubled world where nothing ever turned out to be quite as it seemed." ]

[ "\"'Ticket to Ride' is a satisfying filthy yet delightfully innocent romp through the bars and clubs of the late 60's Germany as the Cheetahs, a young band from a small town in southern England chase their dreams along the trail blazed by the Beatles in Hamburg. Along the way they discover the realities of life on the road in all of its... DIRT & GRIT - SEX & DRUGS - LIFE & DEATH - ROCK & ROLL ... and it's all here in one gangster and hooker infested plate of reality, which was the Reeperbahn at that time... Pulling no punches, telling it like it was Sclater, who lived and played in this world himself for much of the 60's, tells us first hand through the eyes of characters based on real life kids who grew up fast faced with this in at the deep end roller-coaster ride of debauchery and ultimate demise. Not all doom and gloom though as the tale takes us beyond Hamburg with occasional human kindness and discoveries of new loves of the strangest kind. You'll be pulled into their world and the Horrors & Highlights befalling Reg, Jimmy, Adrian, Gerry and their leader Dave and their ever changing entourage, will keep you reading as the pace moves on just quickly enough to keep you hooked, never overblown with drama but full of the contrast between the naivety of our characters and the grittiness of events, mostly recognisable to anyone who's spent any time in the live music business, here, however, experienced in extremis. This book will leave you amazed that any of them survived, not all of them did, and there is a certain sadness to the conclusion, alien to any Hollywood version of books like this, but it's a melancholy which gives this slice of modern history the humanity it deserves.

[ "About the Author", "ALEXANDER MCNABB Alexander McNabb has been working in, living in and travelling around the Middle East for some 30 years. Formerly a journalist, editor and magazine publisher, today he is a consultant on media, publishing and digital communications. Alexander is a frequent conference speaker, chair and moderator - as well as commentator in broadcast and print media - particularly around technology, media and online issues. When he's not writing books, he's posting half-thoughts and snippets on his blog, Fake Plastic Souks, which he started in 2007 during the Arab Media Forum. The title refers to the 'new' souks of Dubai, so much more convenient and classy than the real thing. Alexander's first serious novel was the critically acclaimed Olives - A Violent Romance, a work that explores the attitudes, perceptions and conflicts of the Middle East, exposing a European sensibility to the strange and multi-layered world of life on the borders of Palestine. Self-published in 2011, the book found a receptive audience and triggered wide controversy. This was followed by testosterone-soaked international spy thriller Beirut - An Explosive Thriller, which was self-published in the UAE in 2012. He published his third Middle East based novel, Shemlan - A Deadly Tragedy, a thriller about a dying man unearthing his past, in 2013.

Picking up speed he darted towards the train, Lexi now yards behind. He grabbed onto the handles and with one leap, landed heavily on the back of the trains’ caboose. “I can’t make it! It’s moving too fast!” Lexi screamed as the train picked up drastic speed, getting farther and farther away from her. “Lexi, keep fighting!” The Captain yelled back. She narrowed her eyes, and in one mad sprint, ran as if her life depended on it. Which of course, it did.\" - We Followed The War" ]

[ "Unable to afford dance lessons, Fiona struggles to develop her skills while caring for her emotionally detached sister and longing for her family to heal from a past tragedy." ]

[ "From Publishers Weekly", "Stone (When the Wind Bears Go Dancing) turns from picture books to middle-grade fiction with a novel about a family devastated by a shocking \"incident.\" Set during the Kennedy administration, the story is heavy with references to period TV shows, hand-me-down poodle skirts and Necco Wafers, details that may seem to the target audience as mannered as the characters. The narrator, 11-year-old Fiona, who makes much of her admiration for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, lives with her younger sister, Wallace, in a dilapidated mansion, surrounded by their withdrawn, ex-sculptress mother's unfinished statues. Fiona wants to fit in, and she also wishes more than anything to dance, but her passion (partly born from her father's likening of Fiona to his mother, a Russian ballerina) never transcends plot device. Indeed, Fiona remains more a lens than an effective central character, overshadowed by the unconventional, angst-ridden Wallace and their friend Kit. Allusions are made to better times four years earlier, but Wallace must run away, and be found, before the author reveals the family tragedyAthe father was shot to death in their home. The family's recovery from their grief seems pat, and readers who have labored through the lengthy build-up may feel let down by the conventional resolution. Ages 9-12. (Sept.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.", "From School Library Journal", "Grade 4-6-Fiona and her eccentric younger sister, Wallace, live in a corner of an old mansion that provides constant reminders to Fiona of happier times. Mom has lost interest in almost everything and barely seems to notice her daughters. However, this is not a sad story, as Fiona has a great best friend, Nell, and her neighbor Kip is a source of amusement, companionship, and support, even though they barely acknowledge one another's existence at school. The pace is slow with many memories and asides and descriptions of how the days go by for Fiona. Then one snowy day, Wallace disappears. Events speed up and changes come quickly. The first half of the story, even leavened by Wallace's entertaining take on life, is so dull that many readers will not stick around for the livelier ending. Occasional hints and references to the tragedy that changed their lives never seem to disturb the girls' quiet equilibrium. A nice, safe feeling pervades throughout, effectively destroying any tension, even during a treacherous trot across a trestle bridge with a train coming. Despite intriguing characters and a careful turn of phrase, this is mere comfort food in exotic packaging.", "Carol A. Edwards, Sonoma County Library, Santa Rosa, CA", "Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.", "From", "Booklist", "Gr. 5-7. Eleven-year-old Fiona Hopper lives with her sad, withdrawn mother and lively younger sister, Wallace, in a once-magnificent mansion, a remnant of their formerly wealthy life. Fiona is a talented ballet dancer, but the family no longer has the money to spend on her dancing classes. As the story moves along, Fiona makes many oblique references to the incident that changed the family's fortune, finally revealing the nature of the tragedy in a brief but poignant scene. Through it all shines Fiona's love of the dance and of the father who encouraged her talent. In clear, luminous writing, Stone directs the plot toward a satisfying, happy conclusion as the Hoppers learn to open up and trust once more. A full cast of interesting secondary characters flesh out this moving, tender story of familial love.", "Debbie Carton", "Copyright © American Library Association.

Brought back from the precipice to the living world by a northern shaman with unconventional methods, he takes his sons and some guns to the desert where the course of the august season of his life is set: A hermitage in the wilderness in the shadow of metropolis.

These two ranges coming together in curves on the north and south inclose a magnificent basin, with a level floor more than 400 miles long, and from 35 to 60 miles wide." ]

Out of gratitude for the faithfulness of our Lord and Savior and for the hope this story can bring courage for its readers to live such a life that they may see God do even mightier manifestations of God's grace. Read how James and Francille gave away their small logging business in Oregon then were called by God to the mission field with their four children and one due in four months. By God's grace, they went without having any salary but managed to live in a foreign country and learn the culture and language. Furthermore, they were challenged to make disciples and preach among people who were engulfed in a religion that opposed the gospel. This little book is only the introduction of their ministry. They have been doing this in countries all around the world for the past forty-three years, seeing God do great things." ]

An avant-garde Berlin showcase of his grandfather Ernst Toch's best concerto flows into a discourse on life and death, then inspires a sublime comparative essay of Milosz's \"In Rome\" and Szymborska's \"Reality Demands,\" with Weschler in his element and the reader under his spell. His regard for visual and performance art proves mesmerizing in an initially unnerving account of the Danish Billedstofteater that morphs into a serene inference to the \"current crisis of vision.\" Though rambunctious satire sends some adventures off in new directions, Weschler provides elegant and worthwhile conclusions. —", "Publishers Weekly", "(starred)" ]

[ "Flatlined 2 NGauge is the autobiography of Dewayne Rembert. His grandmother was his primary caregiver; his mom was in and out of his life; there was no dad. The only major male influences in his life were alcoholics. His grandmother took him to church, but he never heard the gospel. She stopped going to church because of her fading health around Dewayne’s junior year of high school. Dewayne became filled with so much anger. His first remembrance of interaction with the church was when a lady there was when told him sternly, “Boy, pull your pants up and get them earrings out your ear: you’re going to hell.” Later on, in his teenage years, he watched as a preacher at a neighborhood gambling/shot house gambled and drank. From that point on his perception of the church was completely warped. Then, there was the incident with a high school administrator that occurred in Dewayne’s eleventh grade year: he was with two of his of his friends and the administrator asked both of them about their futures, mentioning the necessary paperwork and steps to gain admission to college and the military, yet he never acknowledged Dewayne. From that moment on, he didn’t care what happened to him anymore; after all, it had been confirmed to him that he was a loser, a nobody. At that point, he became involved in everything bad: stealing from stores and homes, being sexually immoral, dabbling in the drug game, pretty much everything but rape and murder.Despite all this, he graduated and moved to Montgomery where he ended up becoming the General Manager of a well-known chain in the hotel business. Today he serves as Ministry Resident for Montgomery Baptist Association, Youth Pastor at Strong Tower Church at Washington Park, and the founder of Flatline Movement. Dewayne is married to his wonderful wife Leslie and is the father of three children: Devin age 16, Dorian age 13 and Journi age 7." ]

[ "About the Author", "Dewayne Rembert grew up in Linden, Alabama. He has been married to his best friend Leslie for sixteen years and they have three wonderful children, Devin 16, Dorian 13, and Journi 6. There were good times in his life but deep down inside he felt the pain and rejection of being raised in the absence of a father. His grandmother became his guardian because at that time his mother was not really involved in his life. Despite seeing himself as \"not good enough\" during the days of his youth, he somehow was able to move up the corporate ladder in a well-respected hotel chain after graduating from high school. He heard the Gospel for the first time on February 3, 2002, at 11:17 A.M. and his life was never the same again. Later he became the General Manager of the hotel. He served as a deacon for seven years at his church and during that time of service, he was stirred with a passion to reach young people for Christ. This passion to share the Gospel with youth led to God speaking to his Pastor concerning him becoming the new Youth Pastor. That was in 2009. While serving as Youth Pastor at his church, doors began to open for many speaking a serving engagement for youth all over the State. He felt a \"new effective\" calling on his life. Then God gave him the unction to start The Flatline Movement. The objective of this ministry is to take the Gospel to the streets of Montgomery and other cities throughout Alabama through the use of music, mentoring/discipleship/, and sports. So, he resigned from his job to answer this call by faith in Jesus. Then an interesting opportunity recently presented itself when Dewayne was asked if Flatline would sponsor one of Montgomery's top high school AAU basketball teams. He has been able to hold Bible studies with this elite group of high school basketball players. God saw fit to move him to Strong Tower at Washington Park in Montgomery, AL as their new youth pastor. It made since he became the Chaplain for Carver High School Football team which was the community high school. He is also the Ministry Resident for Montgomery Baptist Association where he serves now." ]

[ "\"Side Steps Terrorizing Sound Bites\" poetically reveals the diabolical ramifications of life being played rather than lived. Amy Jean shares personal trials, tribulations, and contemplation in a spirited rhythmic chime. The struggle of women to be recognized in a male-dominated society is boldly depicted in activist poetry style. This collection shoots flares up at the historical missteps we habitually ignore.Fiery intensity and engaging illustrations amplify the words on the page and drive them home to readers who are open to engaging with our flawed history." ]

[ "Review", "\"A poetic guide for choosing an authentic life against a global backdrop of injustice, Side Steps Terrorizing Sound Bites is a creative and powerful collection. The insistent rhythm of spoken-word poetry is definitely on display, tempting and teasing with linguistic tricks before a release or a gut-punch resolution. The obvious passion behind this work is compelling, and the flexibility of Jean's style is impressive, for an emotive and empowering collection.\" Self-Publishing Review, Four StarsReviewed By K.C. Finn for Readers' FavoriteSide Steps: Terrorizing Sound Bites is a volume of collected poetry on a variety of personal and socio-cultural themes and was penned by author Amy Jean. Written for adult audiences due to some content and language usage, the work explores the experience of women still living in a male-dominated society and still falling victim to traditionalism and the overlooking and automatic thoughts which keep us chained. The work includes rhythmic works of personal experience of the author as well as wider-reaching thematic works that protest against the system and encourage readers to open their eyes to true history beyond automatic thinking and censorship.Author Amy Jean comes together with illustrator Eric Savage to create an artistic masterpiece that is both personal and progressive. These 33 illustrated verses explore the experience of playing the role of a woman, and what is expected in that role as the author undergoes trauma and relates her played-out experience to the reality of actually living an authentic life. The wordplay is spectacular and highly emotive, and the layout of the work itself makes for a visual and audible feast as the images perfectly match the poetic content. Accessible to all readers no matter if they have experience with poetry or not, the author reaches into the soul of her readership and speaks the truth. A particular and relatable favorite of mine was 'I Hate Everything I Loved'. Overall, I would highly recommend Side Steps: Terrorizing Sound Bites to poetry fans and newcomers alike for its frank honesty, powerfully emotive language, and overall reading experience.", "About the Author", "Amy Jean is a mother, a memoirist, a poet, an author, and an entrepreneur with a powerful story that sheds light on unknown universal truths.

[ "Adding a figure to a kit or display can increase both depth and interest, yet building and painting figures continues to be a source of frustration to many armour modelers. This book provides full details on how to build and integrate realistic Heer Panzer crew figures with their vehicles, and on how to paint the key uniform variants and patterns worn by these distinctive troops. It begins with a brief discussion of the various mediums (plastic, resin and white metal), and a round up of the tools, materials and aftermarket items suitable for building and super-detailing figures. Using differing theatres and periods of the war, it shows how to paint common clothing types and patterns, such as the black panzer uniform, Splittermuster, feldgrau, and fatigues, as well as unique and fascinating variants such as Russian camouflage fabric and the motorcycle rubber coat. Special effects, such as dust-covering, and the addition of equipment and and other details are also covered in clear, step-by-step tutorials. The book will also challenge and inspire the more experienced crew figure modeler, with clearly explained 'kit-bashing' and scratch-building demonstrations, making this a treatment of the subject with wide appeal." ]

[ "Review", "\"For the modeller who has attempted figures and is not happy with them, then this title could be for you. It will help you bring your figures up to scratch... [If] you really need to get to grips with your figures, you will need to dip a toe into the 'further reading' section! Recommended.\" -Vinnie Branigan,", "Armorama", "(August 2006)", "About the Author", "Mark Bannerman has been modelling for the past eight years, with a long-standing interest in Allied armour of World War II and figure painting.

[ "A Trick of the Light is Book One of A Kind of Magic, a three-volume novel of eco-magical realism. It's a book about transition: from childhood to adolescence; from isolation to community; from passivity to action. From fantasy to the real world. It is deliberately aimed at 4th - 6th graders, and can be read as a whole or as three short school library books: A Trick of the Light, Turtle Crossing and ThunderHawk. This trilogy of short books for middle-grade readers follows a boy's awakening to the beauties and needs of the natural world around him, with the help of his friends, his family, his community and the mysterious spirit of the forest." ]
