Summary

At the age of ten, Leah found herself alone in the world in the frigid wastes of Transnistria - Nobody's Girl. Her mother's last words to her - "You must live! You must remember! You must tell!" - somehow gave her the strength to survive the terrors of death camps and orphanages and to rebuild her life as a refugee in Canada. Leah remained silent for fifty years while she raised a fine Jewish family and educated generations of Jewish children. Until the fateful phone call came that gave her no peace and forced her to go out and tell the world.

The golden age of Himalayan mountaineering, from the mid-1970s to the 1980s, brought forth a generation of radical young climbers. With tiny budgets and high ambitions they pioneered fast and light, alpine-style expeditions on mountains such as Jannu, Nuptse, Everest and K2.
In High Risk, Brian Hall recalls the outrageous adventures of eleven of his climbing friends who risked – and often lost – their lives to stand on some of the world's highest peaks during a legendary period in mountaineering history.

    In this fascinating half-memoir, half-parenting guide, Lisa Katayama shares her quest to raise her American kids using Japanese parenting principles which combine unconditional love with unwavering rules While Bringing Up Bébé introduced readers to the French way of raising obedient children who are seen but not heard, and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother shared an in iron-will parental approach to creating high-achieving kids, Lisa Katayama’s Parenting the Japanese Way brings the principles of Japanese parenting to Americans, emphasizing unconditional love, community, and harmony with nature, to nurture children who are well-behaved, respectful, and creative.  Japan is well known for its culture of respect, technological innovations, delicious food, peaceful vibes, and deep connection to nature. The source code to all of it is the way the Japanese view childhood--as a time of rigorous training for societal participation, where they learn from the start that are just one part of a larger whole. Katayama takes readers along with her as she travels back and forth from her motherland of Tokyo to the East Bay of California to expose her two American, mixed-race kids to the Japanese way of parenting. Readers will be inspired to take some of her insights--the importance of routine and ritual or the benefits of simplified spaces or the power in making everyday things cute  -- and adopt them into their own parenting, no matter where they live.
