  In a mesmerizing story, Chanrithy Him vividly recounts her trek through the hell of the "killing fields." She gives us a child's-eye view of a Cambodia where rudimentary labor camps for both adults and children are the norm and modern technology no longer exists.

  **Jack the Ripper: The Whitechapel Mystery** 
  *By David G. Stone* 
  In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, a killer stalked the night. Between August and November 1888, the impoverished district of Whitechapel became the hunting ground for history's most infamous serial killer—Jack the Ripper. 
  David G. Stone meticulously reconstructs one of criminology's greatest unsolved mysteries, taking listeners deep into the gaslit alleyways where terror reigned supreme. Through careful examination of police reports, witness testimonies, and contemporary newspaper accounts, Stone brings to life the grimy, desperate world of London's East End—a place where the vulnerable became victims and a shadowy figure earned immortal infamy. 
  Who was Jack the Ripper? Was he a deranged surgeon with anatomical knowledge? A member of the royal family? A local butcher? Or someone else entirely? Stone explores the most compelling theories while painting a vivid portrait of Victorian society's dark underbelly—the poverty, desperation, and social inequalities that created the perfect storm for these horrific crimes. 
  More than just a recounting of murders, this is a fascinating exploration of Victorian police work, early forensic science, and the birth of modern criminal investigation. Stone examines how the Ripper case changed law enforcement forever and why, more than a century later, we remain captivated by these unsolved murders. 
  Prepare to walk the shadowy streets of Whitechapel, where every doorway held secrets and every footstep echoed with dread. The mystery of Jack the Ripper has never been more compelling—or more chilling. 
  *A gripping true crime investigation that will keep you listening late into the night.*

  A personal, intimate, memoir spanning 70 years, in three parts, describing my childhood in the UK and New Zealand, my 35 years as a New Zealand diplomat, and the hundreds of amazing individuals I met on the way, from farming folk to Kings, Queens and Presidents. Part One is the story of an English boy growing up on a farm in rural Devon and Somerset in an extended family, and then, aged 9, moving to rural New Zealand. It covers my school years, my year as a volunteer teacher, aged 17, at an all boys school, in the South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga and my year as a university student in a still divided Germany. Part Two describes my career as a junior, then senior, New Zealand diplomat, and my postings in Fiji, Canada, Geneva, Samoa, Germany and Singapore, the last three as Ambassador. Part Three argues that New Zealand should become a republic in the Commonwealth, with its own Head of State. It describes, too, my liberating journey from Anglicanism to freedom from any religion. I have aimed to tell the memoir with a sense of humour, humility and (for the most part) optimism!

  Newport Gardner's Anthem explores the remarkable life of Occramer Marycoo, an enslaved African who went on to become one of early America's most important Black leaders. In the mid-eighteenth century, Marycoo was taken from West Africa to Newport, Rhode Island, where he was forced into racial bondage and given a name that symbolized the power that his new city and new enslaver held over him: Newport Gardner. In this powerful book, Edward E. Andrews pieces together newspaper articles, church records, letters, and Gardner's own writings to tell the story of his life. 
  After acquiring his freedom via a winning lottery ticket in 1791, Gardner became a kind of Founding Father for Newport's free Black community. He became a popular educator to young Black Newporters, and emerged as a key religious figure, serving as a long-standing pillar of Newport's First Congregational Church and later founding an independent Black church in the 1820s. His final act was leading a group of about three dozen Black New Englanders to Liberia, in hopes that a new start in Africa would be better than the discrimination they faced in America. 
  A richly textured account, Newport Gardner's Anthem tells the story of a forgotten Black leader while exploring the new, but tragically limited, opportunities for formerly enslaved people in the post-Revolutionary world.
