It delves into wood science, discussing species selection and resistance to decay, before analyzing historical homes and their construction. The book emphasizes the importance of sustainable building practices and the role of cultural values in preserving wooden homes.

On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster's evac receives a typical patient load, but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she'd nursed back to health five months before in Normandy.

Murder & Mayhem in Mendon and...

Diane Ham, Lynne Menz

The notorious history of two nineteenth-century hamlets in western New York, famous for an era of bustling commerce—and criminality.   The Town of Mendon and the Village of Honeoye Falls are today quiet western New York suburbs, but they weren't always so idyllic. In years past, the village was a center of commerce, manufacturing and railroads, and by the mid-nineteenth century, this prosperity brought with it an element of mayhem. Horse stealing was commonplace. Saloons and taverns were abundant. Street scuffles and barroom brawls were regular, especially on Saturday nights, after the laborers were paid. By Sunday morning, numerous drunks—like Manley Locke, who would eventually go on to kill another man in a fight—were confined to the lockup in the village hall. It was at this time that the Village of Honeoye Falls earned the name “Murderville.” As the town and village turn two hundred, join local historians Diane Ham and Lynne Menz as they explore the peaceful region’s vicious history.   Includes photos!

MAIGA I in The Heart

MAJDI ALTAAMNEH

MAIGA – I in the Heart is a thought-provoking nonfiction exploration of democracy, identity, trust, and the growing internal fractures shaping modern America and its global image.
At the center of the book stands the “I” — the individual. It represents integrity, inclusion, freedom of speech, human dignity, respect for the rule of law, democratic balance, education, and the moral conscience at the heart of society.
The title itself carries a deeper meaning. MAIGA is not simply a word; it is built around the idea that when the “I” is removed from the heart of a nation, something essential is lost. Throughout the book, readers are invited to explore what that missing “I” represents and why its restoration matters.
Rather than approaching political discourse through division or ideology, the book asks a deeper question: How can America become stronger by ensuring that every individual remains seen, respected, protected, and included within the national conversation?
Through political reflection, social analysis, and global observation, MAIGA examines how fear, mistrust, polarization, institutional tension, and social fragmentation increasingly influence not only the United States itself, but also its allies, neighbours, rivals, and the wider international order.
Neither partisan nor ideological, the book invites readers to reflect on the human foundations required to preserve freedom, stability, democratic resilience, and social cohesion in an era of uncertainty.
Both a warning and a message of hope, MAIGA argues that societies grow stronger when the individual remains at the heart of democracy rather than at its margins.
