Sinopse

A German air force officer’s first person account of aerial battle during the invasion of Sicily in WWII.   In an account of unusual power, Luftwaffe ace Johannes Steinhoff draws from his personal World War II diary to recount the final days of the German air force on Sicily in June and July 1943. Facing crushing odds—including a commander, Hermann Goring, who contemptuously treated his pilots as cowards—Steinhoff and his fellow Messerschmitt 109 pilots took to the skies day after day to meet waves of dreaded Flying Fortresses and swarms of Allied fighters, all bent on driving the Germans from the island. A captivating narrative and a piercing analysis, this book is a classic of aerial combat.

    If you're looking for the events that inspired the lyrics to all my songs? Those stories are in this book. If you're looking for what I did when I was younger? That's in here. What changed me, made me stop hating and hurting? It's all here. This is my story and I'm sticking to it. That's the one thing I have, the truth. 
     
     
     
    Volume three of Black Heart Fades Blue, a three-part memoir by the founder and frontman for one of punk rock's most notorious acts, Poison Idea. 
     
     
     
    In 1980, Jerry A. formed Poison Idea, a Portland-based punk band that gave voice to disaffected and disenfranchised youth for over thirty years. As happened to so many punk bands, Jerry A. and Poison Idea also went all in on drugs and drinking as they toured the country, spiraling out of control and blowing both the band and their lives apart. 
     
     
     
    Black Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present. A memoir of a time and a place and a movement, as well as a deep conversation about the memories and moments we leave behind, Black Heart Fades Blue is a deep exploration of an unconventional life.

    The world has awakened to the urgent need to focus on women's advancement—companies with gender-balanced leadership are far more likely to outperform their peers, and the evolving expectations of leadership align to women's natural strengths. But we're nowhere near achieving that equity. Less than 10 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are women, and the pace of growth is shockingly slow, made worse by COVID-19 and its aftermath. 
     
     
     
    What does it take for women to ascend permanently into leadership roles? In Her Own Voice sheds some light on this timely topic. Based on twenty-five years of research, Jennifer McCollum offers sage advice for the unique hurdles facing women in business, from contending with our own inner critic to having to navigate the often-intimidating world of negotiating for ourselves. 
     
     
     
    In Her Own Voice outlines the key competencies and action steps to overcome these obstacles. Backed with data and infused with compelling real-life stories, it's a blueprint for helping listeners identify, measure, and conquer what's holding women back at any stage of their careers.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  When Dennette 'D.G.' Tolliver lost her husband Henry without warning, her world split open. What 
    followed wasn’t just grief — it was the unraveling and rebuilding of everything she ever believed about 
    love, family, identity, and survival. In this raw and deeply honest memoir, Dennette takes you into the 
    hidden corners of her life: a childhood marked by trauma, a young womanhood shaped by hard 
    lessons, a marriage forged in both passion and conflict, and the everyday reality of raising children 
    while life is happening fast and hard. From courtrooms and mistakes to wedding vows and late–night 
    arguments, from moments that broke her spirit to the love that kept pulling her back up, Dennette 
    reveals a truth most people are afraid to admit: Love doesn’t erase the darkness. Love learns to walk 
    through it. Love grows up. Love wins — but not the way we expect. You’ll walk with her through 
    motherhood, marriage, grief, discipline, and the love story that changed her forever. If you've ever 
    walked through darkness, fought for your family, or loved someone deeply, this memoir will speak to 
    you. Because even when life doesn’t look the way you hoped... love still wins.

    I was standing on my bed looking out of my bedroom window. The sky appeared gray and somber. I saw a young man with dark hair looking up, staring at me from the sidewalk. Then quick lightning flashed, striking him, leaving a small pile of charcoal-colored ashes on the sidewalk where he once stood... I awoke. I was surrounded by plastic drapes and hospital monitoring equipment. The air around me smelled like chicken soup and chemicals. They later told me it had been five months that Id been in a coma. I was wrapped in layers of white bandages. Third-degree burns covered almost 80 percent of my body. My journey was just beginning. The doctors painted a grim future for me. They told my mom that I would never walk again. Oftentimes, we can forget to be thankful for the small things. In her book Snatch Back, author Ruby Hayes recounts some of her most trying times and how God eventually took hold of her life and brought her back to the light. Hayes's book is a shining testimony to the fact that it is never to late to be relinquished from the devil. This is the book that Satan himself does not want published.
