  Twenty years since its first publication, this new anniversary edition of the Holocaust memoir of George Salton (then Lucjan Salzman), gives listeners a personal and powerful account of his survival through one of the darkest periods in human history. With heartbreaking and honest reflection, the author shares a gripping first-person narrative of his transformation from a Jewish eleven-year-old boy living happily in Tyczyn, Poland, with his brother and parents, to his experiences as a teenage victim of growing persecution, brutality, and imprisonment as the Nazis pursued the Final Solution. The author takes the listener back in time as he reveals in vivid and engrossing details the painful memories of life in his childhood town during Nazi occupation, the forced march before his jeering and cold-eyed former friends and neighbors as they are driven from their homes into the crowded and terrible conditions in the Rzeszow ghetto, and the heart-wrenching memory of his final farewell as he is separated from his parents who would be sent in boxcars to the Belzec extermination camp. 
   
   
   
  This new and substantially reworked twentieth anniversary edition incorporates research based on recently discovered documents related to George Salton's concentration camp experience, a new foreword by Michael Berenbaum, and a new afterword of George Salton's unpublished speeches.

  The Shocking Truth about Stress...

  Stress is often seen as an unavoidable part of modern life. From overwhelming work deadlines to financial struggles and personal conflicts, stress seems to lurk around every corner. Society has long accepted stress as a necessary evil, something we must learn to endure. But what if everything you’ve been told about stress management is wrong? What if the traditional methods of coping—deep breathing, relaxation techniques, and work-life balance strategies—aren’t enough to truly free you from its grip?  
    
  For years, experts have preached the same advice: meditate, take breaks, practice mindfulness, and reduce your workload. While these techniques may offer temporary relief, they fail to address the root causes of stress. Many people follow these recommendations diligently, only to find themselves still overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated. The real problem isn’t just the stress itself but how we understand and manage it. The shocking truth is that most stress management techniques only scratch the surface, ignoring the deeper psychological, physiological, and societal factors that keep stress alive.  
    
  Modern life is more demanding than ever. The pressure to succeed, maintain relationships, stay financially stable, and keep up with an always-connected digital world makes stress an inescapable force. The reality is that stress is not just an emotional reaction—it is a full-body experience that affects your mind, health, and overall well-being. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and even a weakened immune system. It changes the way you think, the way you make decisions, and the way you interact with others. And yet, most people continue to treat stress as if it’s just a fleeting feeling that can be soothed away with a few minutes of meditation.

  In Geniality, the second volume of The Equilibrist Series, author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II takes us deeper into the life and mind of Professor Cromwell-Smith and his beloved Victoria. Spanning dormitory gatherings at Harvard, clandestine mentor sessions, and unexpected crossroads of separation and reunion, this narrative unveils how true genius lies not in rarified intellect but in the authenticity and warmth of our everyday gifts. 
  Weaving together their personal struggles—Victoria’s lifelong doubts and her quest for family and belonging, and Erasmus’s years of solitary living and fear—Geniality shows us how our own “genie in a bottle” awaits discovery. Through affectionate reenactments of heartfelt meetings with an eclectic circle of wise antiquarians, librarians, and unexpected teachers, the story reveals how genius emerges in lives both ordinary and extraordinary: a resourceful cab driver, a thoughtful attorney, or even a mishap-prone illusionist. 
  In a style that is both intimate and philosophical, Cromwell-Smith invites us to question our typical notions of success, perfection, and comparison. He reminds us that we all possess areas of brilliance—born from passion, discipline, and the capacity to uplift others. With vivid anecdotes and quietly profound lessons, Geniality offers a transformative view of human potential, illuminating how we can open ourselves to everyday wonders, unearth our unique genius, and use it for the betterment of ourselves and those we love. 
  Unlock your genius. Embrace your imperfections. Discover the quiet power of geniality.

  This course helps you refine your Spanish pronunciation and develop an authentic accent. Unlike basic language programs that focus on vocabulary and grammar, this one dives deep into phonetics and the cultural nuances that shape Spanish speech. 
  You’ll start with Spanish phonetics, mastering vowel consistency, consonant articulation, and stress patterns. You'll learn the precise tongue placement, resonance, and breath control needed for accurate pronunciation. Key skills include producing pure vowels (without English diphthongs), articulating challenging sounds like the rolled "r" and soft "d," mastering Spanish stress and rhythm, and using natural intonation for statements, questions, and emotions. 
  Through structured practice, including minimal pair exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to distinguish similar sounds and correct common pronunciation mistakes. You’ll also explore how culture influences accents, helping you connect more deeply with Spanish-speaking communities. 
  A media study component teaches you how to improve pronunciation by learning from films, TV, music, and podcasts. The course wraps up with an in-depth look at major dialects, including Castilian, Caribbean, Mexican, Andean, and Rioplatense Spanish. 
  Perfect for intermediate to advanced learners, accent reduction students, cultural immersion travelers, and professionals.
