  Carol Schultz Vento recounts the post-World War II years of her famous father "Dutch" Schultz. 
  "Carol Schultz Vento's testimonial and others like it do not diminish the wartime generation's accomplishments but suggest that the price they paid was far higher, the toll extracted from them and their families far greater, and their struggles far more protracted than the glossy tributes to the 'Greatest Generation' would have us believe. It in is the end a cautionary tale, reminding us that if as a last resort we send soldiers into harm's way, we should be under no illusions about war's colossal human costs, remembering that even in the most brilliant triumphs there is heartbreak and that the suffering does not stop when the shooting does." --- Thomas Childers 
  Daughters, fathers and war - three words seldom used together. 
  In "The Hidden Legacy of World War II: A Daughter's Journey", Carol Schultz Vento weaves life with her paratrooper father into the larger narrative of World War II and the homecoming of the Greatest Generation. The book describes the seldom told story of how the war trauma of World War II impacted one family. This personal story is combined with the author's thorough research and investigation of the reality for those World War II veterans who could not forget the horrors of war. This nonfiction work fills in the missing pieces of the commonly accepted societal view of World War II veterans as stoic and unwavering, a true but incomplete portrait of that generation of warrior. About the author: Carol Schultz Vento is a former Political Science professor and attorney. She is a graduate of Temple University and Rutgers University School of Law. She is the daughter of 82nd Airborne World War II veteran Arthur "Dutch" Schultz. Carol is a native of Philadelphia and lives in Palmyra, New Jersey.

  Getting Started with Mind...

  You’ve probably heard of mind maps before. In school you surely had teachers create them more than once, with a main idea in the middle, and the branches that popped out in all directions, with sub-themes, which looked like a giant spider on the blackboard. You probably didn’t give much thought to them back then, and you’ve probably even forgotten about them in general by now. 
  	The thing is, though they might bring you back to thoughts of elementary-level learning, Mind Maps can be an excellent visual tool for pretty much everything you can imagine. It’s been argued that the type of memory people use the most is visual. Mind Maps are great for exploiting this memory because they have the additional benefit of working similar to the way our mind does. 
  	We have grown used to note-taking and list-making, but our brain does not work in a linear way; it actually functions by making free associations between ideas that branch from one onto the other. Mind Maps are the same. You part from a main idea, which then opens onto more sub-topics that are related directly to it. This helps structure the information you will be working with, which in turn helps you analyze, understand, and compress the data correctly, which then makes it easier for you to remember it and create new ideas parting from that point. 
  	Mind Maps are a very simple way to arrange your thoughts in an analytical, but also artistic way, something that makes more than one area of your brain work on it, making it engage various cognitive functions, so that you can learn or organize your ideas better. This book will teach you mind mapping techniques from A to Z. Get it Now!

  This Country Hates Our Boys -...

  'I do not hate boys, I hate men.'
  This provocative statement sets the stage for a searing exploration of the complex relationship South African society holds with its Black and Coloured men and boys. Dr Mzamo Masito's urgent new book, This Country hates Our Boys, confronts the pervasive 'cold and hot love' that often translates into collective male guilt. When a child goes missing, a collective sigh of relief by men is heard when the blame points to maternal filicide, such as headlines like 'South African woman guilty of kidnapping and trafficking daughter aged 6' (BBC).
  The widely accepted phrase 'amadoda zizinja' – men are dogs – is more than a colloquialism; it's a symptom of a society where positive masculine role models are scarce. This linguistic shortcut flattens the nuanced reality of masculinity into a single, simplistic concept of patriarchy, obscuring the complex, chaotic social issues at play.
  Through the vital work of African Men Care, a non-profit organisation, Dr Masito unpacks the interlocking crises facing Black boys and men: educational disparities, mental health struggles, pervasive violence, and fractured relationships. More crucially, the book illuminates a clear path forward.
  'Every man is every boy' is not merely an observation but a powerful call to action. The struggles of adult men today are often rooted in the unaddressed needs and unrealised potential of the boys they once were. The lament 'awekho amadoda' (there are no men) serves as a stark warning: without decisive intervention, we risk losing entire generations. This book reveals how individual trauma metastasises into a collective crisis. When boys lack robust interior lives and positive identity models, the repercussions echo through families, schools, and communities. Hurt boys mature into hurting men, perpetuating cycles that impact everyone, including the girls and women in their lives.
  ¬This Country Hates Our Boys is essential reading for men, educators, policymakers, community leaders, parents, and anyone committed to breaking cycles of hurt and forging futures where all young people can thrive. The ultimate goal is revolutionary in its simplicity: to empower both girls and boys, ensuring no child is left behind.
