Synopsis

In "The Last Days of Fort Vaux, March 9-June 7, 1916," Henry Bordeaux presents a poignant and meticulously detailed account of the grueling stand at Fort Vaux during World War I. Using a vivid narrative style, Bordeaux captures the harrowing experiences of the French soldiers surrounded by the relentless German offensive. The book is both a historical document and a poignant literary exploration of courage and despair against the backdrop of one of World War I's most significant battles. Bordeaux'Äôs eloquent prose and rich descriptions immerse the reader in the psychological and physical realities faced by the defenders, illuminating the complexities of warfare and human emotion during this turbulent period. Bordeaux, a noted French novelist and essayist, was deeply affected by the events of World War I, having served as a soldier in the conflict. His personal encounters with the war, combined with his literary acumen, allowed him to portray not just the events but also the profound human experiences behind them. Through this work, Bordeaux not only memorializes the bravery of the Fort Vaux defenders but also critiques the futility and tragedy of war itself. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in military history, those looking to understand the human condition under duress, and anyone seeking a compelling narrative that transcends mere historical facts. Bordeaux'Äôs lyrical and empathetic storytelling ensures that "The Last Days of Fort Vaux" is both an educational resource and a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit in times of crisis.

    A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
     
     
     
    If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
     
     
     
    In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

    The Second History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin & tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets & poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust, tuberculosis, and a few of the rich & famous who suffered from TB, travelling back in time to the Black Death which wiped out 25 percent of humans on Earth, exploring the origins of a salon and a saloon, Columbus and the Age of Discovery, the lost generations of childhood, ending with the invention of the Internet.

    Celebrating the persistence of Turtle Power Raise Some Shell critically and cleverly examines the origins, evolution, and impact of the Ninja Turtles phenomenon ― from its beginning as a self-published black-and-white comic book in 1984, through its transformation into a worldwide transmedia phenomenon by the middle of the 1990s, and up to the sale of the property to Nickelodeon in 2009 and relaunch of the Turtles with new comics, cartoons, and a big-budget Hollywood film. With the eye of contemporary cultural studies and the voice of a true lifelong Turtles fan, Rosenbaum argues that the Turtles’ continuing success isn’t mere nostalgia, but rather the result of characters, and a franchise, that mutated in a way that allowed the to survive and thrive in a post-modern world.

    “It’s better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” 
     
    "I am the most terrible animal that's ever existed." 
     
    "Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice, it is a fallacy. You in America will see that someday." 
     
    "It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better." 
     
    “I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look for moral guidance." (Mussolini) 
     
    Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II (even murdering his own son by lethal injection) he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy. Here, for the first time, are the words of the great dictator himself in his twisted manifesto on the political movement he started and is still so feared to this very day. 
     
    In this dynamic audiobook, the specter of Benito Mussolini comes alive. Wrought in painstaking detail as to the historical and controversial nature of this work here is the larger-than-life presence of Il Duce (The Boss) who lorded over Italy as a ruthless dictator from 1925 to 1945. Here is the ultimate look at the life of one of the 20th century's most compelling and troubling figures. An amazing audiobook adventure from start to finish.
