  The astonishing true story of a boy who survived the war by hiding in the Polish forest  
  Maxwell Smart was eleven years old when his entire family was killed before his eyes. He might have died along with them, but his mother selflessly ordered him to save himself. Alone in the forest, he dug a hole in the ground for shelter and foraged for food in farmers’ fields. His clothes in rags and close to starvation, he repeatedly escaped death at the hands of Nazis and Ukrainian thugs. 
  After months alone, Maxwell encountered a boy wandering in the forest looking for food. Janek was also alone; like Maxwell he had just become an orphan, and the two quickly became friends. They built a bunker in the ground to survive through the winter. One day, after a massacre took place nearby, the boys discovered a baby girl, still alive, lying in the arms of her dead mother. Maxwell and Janek rescued the baby, but this act came at a great cost.  
  Max’s epic tale of heroism will inspire with its proof of the enduring human spirit. From the brutality of war emerges a man who would become a celebrated artist, offering the world, in contrast to the horrors of his suffering, beautiful works of art. The Boy in the Woods is a remarkable historical document about a time that should never be forgotten. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Vision’s  infinite range of influence knows no boundaries. It flows from the youngest to the oldest, from the novice to the most experienced member of the team. It infiltrates the organization with freshness of purpose and clearness of direction. The leader clothed with the clarity of vision, exposes others to the knowledge, necessity and power of vision. Then becomes an instrument in helping them understand the work of vision. The energy and the ontagiousness of vision develops a persistent personality within the leader and within the organization that recognizes it and seeks after it. Vision helps every person within the organization to see that the role of leader calls their name and refers to them as the leader in their area of influence. This keen awareness awakens dreams that ignite the hearts, inspire the minds and move the people to greatness.
   
  Questions are presented to help the leader reflect on the current state and identify important 
  next steps that will propel the organization forward. Examples and strategies are included which the leader can employ to inspire vision within others and strengthen partnerships with them that build up the organization and help it move to its highest level of effectiveness.

  Psychology of the Stock Market is a timeless exploration of the human mind’s powerful influence on financial markets. Written by G. C. Selden in the early 20th century, this concise yet insightful work dissects the emotional forces that drive investor behavior—greed, fear, hope, and herd mentality—and how these psychological factors create the speculative cycles that shape markets. 
  Selden goes beyond charts and fundamentals to examine the mindset of traders and the mass psychology of the investing public. With practical examples and philosophical clarity, he reveals how market participants often act irrationally, misinterpret data, and fall victim to emotional extremes. This audiobook is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the true engine behind market movements: human nature. 
  Whether you're a seasoned investor or just beginning your financial journey, Selden’s reflections remain startlingly relevant in today’s volatile economic landscape. Narrated with clarity and poise, this edition brings a century-old classic to life for modern ears.

  In 1934, at the age of fourteen, Colette Brull-Ulmann knew that she wanted to become a pediatrician. By 1942, Brull-Ulman and her family had become registered Jews under the ever-increasing statutes against them enacted by Petain's government. Her father had been arrested and interned at the Drancy detention camp and Brull-Ulman had become an intern at the Rothschild Hospital. 
   
   
   
  Under Claire Heyman, a charismatic social worker who was a leader of the hospital's secret escape network, Brull-Ulmann began working tirelessly to rescue Jewish children treated at the Rothschild. Ultimately, Brull-Ulmann was forced to flee the Rothschild in 1943, when she joined her father's resistance network, gathering and delivering information for De Gaulle's secret intelligence agency until the Liberation in 1945. 
   
   
   
  In 1970, Brull-Ulmann finally became a licensed pediatrician. It wasn't until decades later when she finally started to speak publicly—not only about her own work and survival, but about the one child who affected her most deeply. Originally published in French in 2017, Brull-Ulmann's memoir fearlessly illustrates the horrors of Jewish life under the German Occupation and casts light on the heretofore unknown story of the Rothschild Hospital during this period.
