During his life in India, Woolf was an observer of the uncomfortable moral ground occupied by the servants of the British Government in Ceylon before the Great War. The stories he saw and lived through became the basis of this book. It contains three stories: "A Tale Told by Midnight," "The Two Brahmans," and "Pearls and Swine."

    Patrick Dorismond, Abner Louima, and Amadou Diallo -- hear what a jury of prominent African Americans has to say about the black man's struggle for justice in AmericaPrompted by the killing of Amadou Diallo and the acquittal of the four New York City police officers who mistook him for an armed criminal, this collection of essays by prominent black male writers offers twelve unique and startling perspectives on what it's like for a black man living in an inherently racist society.Coming from a broad spectrum of economic and social backgrounds, the poets, journalists, lawyers, writers, and academics that make up this jury write forcefully and eloquently about growing up and raising sons, identifying with others and yearning to be set apart, attempting reasonable discourse, and succumbing to unspeakable anger. Together these essays deconstruct the monolithic myths that shroud our nation's black men and offer small rays of hope that on the streets, at school and work, and in the courtroom justice will be served.

    This book aims to serve as both mirror and roadmap. I have identified eight issues that are most critical in the lives of young African American males: income inequality, anti-intellectualism, racial stereotypes, social promotion and retention, incarceration, inadequately trained teachers, ineffective assessments, and the lack of early childhood intervention. Subsequent chapters will begin by addressing those issues supported by statistics and stories culled both from my personal experience and from the experiences of others. The chapters present a general discussion of the topic and examine efforts to overcome the difficulties. Each chapter will close with a substantial section on solutions to the problems. The discussion concentrates on what works—the practical steps to move us from the current crisis to a future of parity and promise.

    The Great War was a key event of the twentieth century and it is one of the most popular and rewarding areas for historical research—and for family historians. More records than ever are available to researchers whose relatives served during the war, and Paul Reeds new book is the perfect guide to how to locate and understand these sources—and get the most out of them.In fascinating detail he follows the stories of twelve service men who fought and died in the Great War  a rifleman, an infantry officer, a tunneller, a gunner, a Royal Marine, a naval rating, an airman, and others. He describes their wartime careers and shows how they fitted into the armed forces. He looks at what they did, at their lives in the front line, in the rear areas, on leave, and at the conditions they endured and the experiences they had. And he demonstrates how the research was done and how the lives of these individuals were reconstructed—the methods that were used, the sources that were consulted.Paul Reeds informative and accessible book will be essential reading and reference for anyone who wants to find out about the Great War and is keen to understand the part an ancestor played in it.

    This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
      
      
    Book 1: There is no doubt about the fact that introverts are different than extroverts. Although every person has their own unique personality traits, some generalizations can help us gain greater insights in the workings of our brains, and with that understanding, we can function better, feel better, and live better. 
      
    The aim of this book is exactly that: Help you understand yourself or the introvert in your life better. In order to accomplish that goal, this guide lists several topics related to shyness, signs of introversion in children, the benefits of being an introvert (very important to know), the difference between being an introvert or being introverted, and false myths that require some clarifications. 
      
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: Introverts are introverts, but did you know that there are different kinds of introverts? 
      
    Aside from touching on this particular topic, this book will also teach you more about how to embrace your inner introvert and make things work for you. Additionally, the we will empathize with you and tell you about how it feels to be misunderstood as an introvert. The main quest in most people’s lives is happiness, and to introverts, this can be a special challenge when mixed messages are being conveyed to us by the media or the culture in which we live. Here, we will shed more light on that crucial part of our existence: Happiness for introverts. Last but not least, some dating tips for those who are in love with introverts are given as a small bonus. 
      
    Don’t wait and get this guide now.
