War Children - Survival and Resilience in the Shadow of Conflict

Fouad Sabry

Sinopsis

What is War Children
 
Individuals who are born to a local parent and a parent who is a member of a foreign military unit are referred to as war children. The act of having a child by a member of a hostile force is frequently regarded as a major violation of social standards, and this perception has persisted throughout history and throughout cultures. The native parent is frequently disowned by the family, friends, and society as a whole by the native parent. When referring to children who were born during World War II and its aftermath, the phrase "war child" is most widely used. This is especially true when referring to children who were born to fathers who were serving in German occupying forces in northern Europe. There were also children born in Norway who were called Lebensborn. The discrimination that local parents and children experienced in the postwar period did not take into account the extensive rapes that were committed by occupying forces or the partnerships that women were required to develop in order to survive the war years.

Peter Brewer

Running out of Saturdays is a warm, witty and unapologetically honest memoir from Peter Brewer – 
a big-hearted larrikin with a whiteboard full of wisdom and a yarn (or 50) to tell. 
Now in his mid-60s, Peter reflects on a life jam-packed with colourful characters, career moves (some undeniably 
questionable), boisterous family gatherings and boardroom lessons. From his humble beginnings to becoming 
a respected leader in the real estate industry, PB’s learned – often the hard way – what really matters in business, 
family and life. 
Every chapter is delivered with humour, heart and a healthy dose of hindsight. Along the way, you’ll meet 
a host of unforgettable personalities and pick up powerful leadership and life lessons tucked between the laughs. 
This isn’t just a memoir. It’s a timely reminder that we’re all running out of Saturdays. That life moves fast. That success 
without heart isn’t worth much. And that the best stories are often the ones we’re brave enough to tell, warts and all. 
So take a seat, pour yourself a drink, and let Peter Brewer remind you how to live, laugh and leave a legacy – 
one unforgettable Saturday at a time.

From Outer Space to Inner Space...

Dr. Edgar Mitchell

The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond.
In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.
For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.
Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.
From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.
Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.

KNOW ABOUT "Kailash Satyarthi" -...

Saurabh Singh Chauhan

This is small part of the introduction of the book: Kailash Satyarthi is a name synonymous with the fight against child labor. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Satyarthi has dedicated his life to rescuing children from exploitation and advocating for their right to education. His unwavering commitment to this cause has made him an inspiration to millions around the world. 
Satyarthi's journey began in the small town of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, India, where he witnessed first-hand the plight of children forced into hazardous labor. Deeply moved by their suffering, he resolved to make a difference in their lives. In 1980, at the age of 26, Satyarthi quit his job as an electrical engineer to dedicate himself full-time to the cause of child liberation. He founded Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), which translates to "Save Childhood Movement" in English. BBA quickly became a grassroots movement, organizing raids on child labor hotspots and rescuing children from exploitation. 
Satyarthi's work was not without its challenges. He faced opposition from powerful vested interests who profited from child labor. He was threatened, harassed, and even imprisoned. But Satyarthi never wavered in his resolve. He continued to fight for the children, using his voice and his actions to raise awareness and demand change.
