  The book "Duron Vekhe Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale" is written by Prof. Harpal Singh Pannu. He mentions in the beginning that he wrote exactly what he saw with his own eyes. He says, "It felt like Sant Jarnail Singh was my friend." But Sant Jarnail Singh was not anyone’s friend—he was a saint. A saint has no enemies or friends. I saw him as a great Sikh whose role in the Akali Dal was growing.

  A groundbreaking and thorough examination of the trauma caused by the media covering crimes, both to victims and journalists, from a respected journalist and victim advocate 
   
   
   
  In The Trauma Beat, an eye-opening combination of investigative journalism and memoir, former big-city crime reporter Tamara Cherry calls on her award-winning skills as a journalist to examine the impact of the media on trauma survivors and the impact of trauma on members of the media. As Tamara documents the experiences of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, she is confronted by everything she got wrong on the crime beat. 
   
   
   
  Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The Trauma Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing.

  "Seth Kantner illuminates an Alaska most of us will never know." —Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever 
   
   
   
  When Seth Kantner's Ordinary Wolves was published it was a literary revelation of sorts. In a raw, stylized voice it told the story of a white boy growing up with homesteading parents in Arctic Alaska and trying to reconcile his largely subsistence and Native-style upbringing with the expectations and realities tied to his race. It hit numerous bestseller lists, was critically acclaimed, and won a number of awards. 
   
   
   
  Seth's nonfiction second book, the memoir Shopping for Porcupine, was even more compelling for many—the same raw details of a homesteading upbringing, but intensely personal. Now, in Swallowed by the Great Land, he once again brings us into his lyrical wilderness existence. 
   
   
   
  Swallowed by the Great Land features slice-of-life essays that further reveal the duality in the author's own life today, and also in the village and community that he inhabits—a mosaic of all life on the tundra. Unique characters, village life, wilderness and the larger landscape, a warming Arctic, and hunting and other aspects of subsistence living are all explored in varied yet intimate stories.

  Fort Stoddert - American...

  For nearly fifteen years, Fort Stoddert stood as a tangible symbol of America’s push to assert control over a critical frontier region. Situated on the banks of the Mobile River—about thirty miles north of the city of Mobile—near what was then the border between the United States and Spanish West Florida, the fort was established in 1799 and abandoned not long after the Creek War of 1813–14. Though its existence was brief, Fort Stoddert became a focal point for numerous key developments in the early American history of southwest Alabama. It served as the administrative center for a newly acquired territory, a strategic hub for international diplomacy, a vital link in the emerging national transportation and communication network, a launching point for American settlement and expansion, and a cornerstone in the military defense strategy for the Mississippi Territory. Despite its remarkable significance, no comprehensive history of the fort has ever been written—until now. This book uses Fort Stoddert and its pivotal role in shaping the region as a lens to explore a formative era in the development and organization of one of Alabama’s earliest American-held areas.

  Janissaries The: The History and...

  Among those who were responsible for the projection of Ottoman power, few deserve as much credit as the Janissaries. Established by Murad I, the Janissaries became an elite infantry force that was loyal only to the sultan. Their mission was to protect only him and in battles they were always the closest to him, forming a human shield. Originally, they consisted of non-Muslim slaves, mainly Christian boys from Byzantium. Jewish boys were not taken as soldiers and Muslims could not, by law, be enslaved. Murad had instituted a tax of one fifth on all the slaves taken in war, and the idea of only taking boys fit for fighting was called Devshirme, or blood tax. The slaves went through a very strict training, first learning to speak Turkish and practicing Ottoman traditions by living with a family chosen by the sultan. The boys also were forcibly converted to Islam, forbidden from wearing a beard and lived under monastic circumstances in celibacy. They were overseen by eunuchs and trained in special schools, enhancing their personal abilities. The main difference between these and other slaves was that they were being paid for their services. This served as a motivator and kept the soldiers loyal. 
  The Janissary corps was the first of its kind and a groundbreaking contributor to the success of Ottoman warfare. At the time of Murad’s reign, they were fewer and less respected than what they would become at a later stage, but they were quite significant for Ottoman victories in the Balkans, and as such, they became notorious in Europe. One of the first major battles in which the Janissaries participated occurred when Murad's successor, Bayazid, managed to inflict a decisive defeat on a European army near Nikopol. In general, the Janissaries were positioned at the front lines of the Ottoman army and were armed with various weapons, including bows and arrows, swords, spears, and shields.
