  Inspirational and insightful, Bread and War is a compelling account of feeding, eating and resistance in wartime Ukraine 
   
  From the military kitchens which cook for soldiers and volunteers, to the chefs who shifted from fine dining to turning out hot meals and loaves of bread for families in need - food has become a central part of Ukraine's war effort. 
   
  Food is a weapon, a lifeline, a means of survival. It's also a powerful symbol of national identity and memory for the millions of people who've been forced from their homes. 
   
  Bread and War tells the extraordinary stories of just some of those people - the army cooks, the bakers, the kitchen volunteers, the charity workers, the refugees and the young chefs who repeatedly reopen cafes after multiple bombings, determined to reclaim Ukrainian food memories after decades of Soviet suppression, driven to keep Ukraine independent in politics and culture.

  Uncover Meaning in Humanity’s Darkest Moments  
  WITH A FOREWORD BY DR. PHILIP STONE  
    
  In Beyond the Darkness: Transformative Journeys Through Dark Tourism, Dr. Chad Scott, multi-category #1 Amazon bestselling author, takes readers on a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of some of history’s most profound and challenging sites.  
  From the solemn corridors of Auschwitz to the shadowy depths of the Paris Catacombs and the reflective spaces of Ground Zero, Dr. Scott doesn’t just explore the physical remnants of tragedy—he uncovers their emotional and transformative potential. With vivid storytelling and personal reflections, he examines how even the world’s darkest chapters can teach us resilience, compassion, and the strength of the human spirit. Far more than a travel memoir, this is a powerful testament to how dark tourism allows us to connect with the past to find meaning in our own lives.  
  Beyond the Darkness asks questions that linger long after the journey ends:  
  What can we learn from humanity’s most difficult moments?  
  How do these places help us confront our own struggles, mortality, and capacity for growth?  
  What does it mean to bear witness to history and come away forever changed?  
  Perfect for readers of Anthony Bourdain’s adventurous spirit, Viktor Frankl’s exploration of meaning, and Sheryl Strayed’s personal vulnerability, this is for anyone drawn to powerful travel writing and meaningful history—a guide to finding hope, strength, and clarity in the shadows.

In Witch Country, Sarah ventures over (and under) Britain's storied landscapes, with their rich witch heritage as her guide—from witch marks to hanging trees. Join her as she's led astray by witch hares and colt pixies and is inspired by sorceresses, wishing trees, and crystal caves.

  If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
  Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
  Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
  Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
  In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.
