    This is small part of introduction of the book: In the realm of spiritual leadership and global influence, few figures command as much reverence and admiration as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. Born in 1935 in the quaint town of Takster, Amdo, Tibet, his journey has been a tapestry woven with threads of profound wisdom, unwavering compassion, and a commitment to peace that has resonated far beyond the borders of his homeland. 
    This biography seeks to unravel the layers of the Dalai Lama's life, providing a comprehensive exploration of the man behind the title. As we embark on this literary journey, we will traverse the significant chapters of his existence — from the early years of recognition as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama to his escape from the Chinese-occupied Tibet in 1959, which marked a pivotal turning point in his life. 
    Beyond the geopolitical landscape, we will delve into the Dalai Lama's educational pursuits, shedding light on the intellectual foundations that shaped his spiritual outlook. His commitment to learning and deepening his understanding of Buddhist philosophy has been a cornerstone of his leadership, paving the way for a spiritual journey that transcends the boundaries of tradition and embraces the universality of human experience.

    Using a Canadian émigré lens, David Wayne Stewart’s essay collection, True North, Down South, entertains and educates readers about immigrant and national identity, cultural misunderstandings, and belonging in the modern world. Stewart’s Canadian identity was contested by Quebec separatists when he was a child, then again in his adult life as an immigrant to the United States. Along the way, he found himself homesick in the U.S., opening an immigration law clinic in North Carolina before he was thrust unexpectedly into a role as a “professional Canadian.”In engaging and compelling prose, True North, Down South tells twenty-eight insightful and sometimes humorous personal stories of growing up in Canada and carving out an adult life in the United States. Stewart details spending his childhood in an asbestos mining town in 1970s Quebec, coming of age in Montreal, establishing roots in the United States, and promoting Canadian-American relations in Silicon Valley. Charming and approachable, this collection leaves readers with a deeper awareness of what it feels like to be an outsider, a homesick immigrant, and a bridge-builder for two nations more culturally distinct than they appear.

    Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). In the early 1960s Carter became a secret adviser to George Wallace and wrote the Alabama governor's infamous 1963 inauguration speech vowing "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." When Carter disappeared from Alabama in 1972, few knew that he had assumed a new identity in Abilene, Texas, masquerading as a Cherokee American novelist. Using the name "Forrest" Carter, he published three successful Western novels, including The Rebel Outlaw, which Clint Eastwood made into a movie. His last book, The Education of Little Tree (a fake biography of his supposed Indian childhood) posthumously became a number one bestseller in 1991. 
     
     
     
    Author Dan T. Carter uncovered "Forrest" Carter's true identity while researching his biography of Georgia Wallace and in a New York Times op-ed he exposed Carter's deception. Although the difficulties of uncovering the full story of the secretive Carter initially led him to abandon the project, in 2018 he gained access to more than two hundred interviews by the late Anniston newsman, Fred Burger. These recordings and his two decades of exhaustive research finally brought Asa Carter's story into focus. Unmasking the Klansman is the result.

    This is small part of introduction of the book: From the depths of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, a young girl named Malala Yousafzai emerged as a beacon of hope and courage, her voice resonating with an unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. Her journey, one marked by resilience and unwavering determination, has etched her name indelibly in the annals of history, forever inspiring generations to come. 
    Born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, Malala was raised in a household that cherished education. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was a passionate educator who ran a school for girls, instilling in Malala a deep-rooted love for learning. From an early age, Malala displayed an insatiable curiosity, her mind brimming with questions and a yearning to explore the vast expanse of knowledge. 
    As Malala grew, she witnessed firsthand the oppressive rule of the Taliban, an extremist group that sought to impose strict control over the Swat Valley. Their tyrannical regime brought forth a wave of restrictions, including the banning of girls' education. Malala's heart ached for her fellow young women, denied the fundamental right to learn and pursue their dreams. 
    Undeterred by the Taliban's threats and intimidation, Malala refused to be silenced. At the tender age of 11, she began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service, using the pseudonym "Gul Makai" to protect her identity. In her blog posts, Malala chronicled her daily life under Taliban rule, eloquently voicing her aspirations for a world where all girls had access to education.

    Edward Vernon-Harcourt (1757–1847) was Archbishop of York from 1807 until his death at the age of 90.
    
     
    As a younger son of a wealthy land-owning family, Archbishop Harcourt depended on good family and political connections to make progress in the Church. He had to combine his responsibility for one of the largest dioceses in the Church of England with his duties in parliament and at court and with providing for his family of 16 children. More supportive of reform of both parliament and the church than most of his fellow bishops, Harcourt took steps to improve the training of ordinands in his diocese, encouraged the building of over 100 new churches to cope with population growth in the industrial towns of the West Riding and made some progress in tackling pluralism and non-residence. He was not afraid to stand up for a cause he believed to be right.
    
     
    In this biography, Tony Vernon-Harcourt examines the professional and family life of one of the last aristocratic bishops in the Church of England.
