  In this gripping memoir, Jack and Rochelle Sutin recount their experiences as Jewish resistance fighters during World War II, a story that ranges from extreme horror to poignant triumph. Told through their son Lawrence, the book brings alive the reality of months spent hidden in a dank underground bunker infested with lice and disease. Jack and Rochelle is more than just an account of stark survival, however. It is also the tale of an almost impossible love affair that has lasted over fifty years, and an eloquent reminder that history is made up of the often deeply moving details of individual lives.

  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach
  
  KEY FEATURES

  - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’
  - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts
  - Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom
  
  DESCRIPTION: 
  My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

  The Shocking Truth about Virtual...

  Virtual reality (VR) has long been a concept of science fiction, but today, it is a rapidly evolving technology shaping industries, entertainment, and even human interactions. From its early beginnings as a theoretical concept to the sophisticated headsets and immersive environments of today, VR has transformed from a novelty into a powerful tool that influences the way people work, learn, and socialize. While the promise of virtual worlds seems limitless, there are also significant concerns about its long-term effects on society, privacy, and even human psychology.  
  The origins of VR date back further than most people realize. The idea of creating artificial environments that simulate reality can be traced back to the early 20th century. Flight simulators in the 1920s provided the first taste of what would later become VR training programs. In the 1960s, innovators such as Ivan Sutherland and Morton Heilig developed early prototypes of head-mounted displays and immersive cinema experiences. However, technological limitations prevented these early experiments from reaching mainstream adoption. It wasn’t until the late 20th and early 21st centuries that computing power, graphics capabilities, and internet connectivity made VR a viable and widely accessible technology.  
  Breakthroughs in VR hardware and software have enabled increasingly realistic and engaging experiences. High-resolution headsets, motion tracking, and artificial intelligence now allow users to step into digital environments that respond dynamically to their movements and actions. Industries ranging from gaming and entertainment to healthcare and education have embraced VR as a revolutionary tool. Doctors use VR to simulate surgeries, businesses conduct remote meetings in virtual spaces, and educators transport students to historical landmarks without ever leaving the classroom.

  How to Be a Grown Up - The 14...

  What Color Is Your Parachute? meets I Will Teach You To Be Rich for twentysomethings. Raffi Grinberg, who created and taught the ever-oversubscribed college course "Adulting 101," offers a practical guide to adult life's greatest mysteries that were never taught in school, including how to launch your career, find your purpose (for right now), invest your money, and much more. 
   
   
   
  Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult—such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics—are covered in lower or higher education. Fortunately, here is a book that does just that. 
   
   
   
  From entrepreneur Raffi Grinberg, who lived and learned the hard way throughout his twenties, here is a crash course in everything you need to know to be a grown up. Based on his wildly popular "Adulting 101" course at Boston College, Grinberg firmly steers you through the basics of being a grown up using interactive chapters, bite-size nuggets of wisdom, humor, and stories from his twenties, including nearly going broke, having bad credit, disappointing his parents, and much more. As Raffi tells his students, "I want you to have a quarter-life crisis now so that you won't have a mid-life crisis later."

  The FSU Scroll - Field Notes...

  Not a memoir, not a manual, not history, and not fiction: this is a scroll. A lived document that uncoils across frostbitten steppe and borderland camps, where drills turn, deals twist, and dignity is held together with duct tape and vodka-stained humor. 
  From Ukraine to Sakhalin, from mud-choked rigs to government saunas, these field-earned ledgers reveal how people survive, adapt, and build in places where permits arrive after the pipelines are already pumping. Some of it reads like farce, some like heartbreak, much like both at once. 
  A generator resurrected with foil and candlelight becomes a choir, a pickup patched with tape and faith passes inspection, and a nation under strain shows a resilience that still shakes the world today. 
  This is not a sober account, but it is an honest one: a record of compromises, improvisations, and grit at the edge of empire, remembering what the spreadsheets never could.
