  A Realistic Path to Peace - From...

  This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
  The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other 
  country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
  So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
  Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
  A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
  Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.

  Still No Word from You - Notes...

  A new collection of pieces on literature and life by the author of Am I Alone Here?, a finalist for the NBCC Award for Criticism 
   
   
    
  From the acclaimed fiction writer about whom Dwight Garner of the New York Times wrote, "You know from the second you pick him up that he's the real deal," comes Still No Word from You, a unique chain of essays and intimate stories that meld the lived life and the reading life. For Orner, there is no separation. Covering such well-known writers as Lorraine Hansberry, Primo Levi, and Marilynne Robinson, as well as other greats like Maeve Brennan and James Alan McPherson, Orner's highly personal take on literature alternates with his own true stories of loss and love, hope and despair. In his mother's copy of A Coney Island of the Mind, he's stopped short by a single word in the margin, "YES!"—which leads him to conjure his mother at twenty-three. He stops reading Penelope Fitzgerald's The Beginning of Spring three quarters of the way through because he knows that finishing the novel will leave him bereft. Orner's solution is to start again from the beginning to slow the inevitable heartache. 
   
   
    
  Still No Word from You is a book for anyone for whom reading is as essential as breathing.

  Every child is born with a spark—a unique gift waiting to shine. As parents, we often marvel at the small things our children do. A scribble that tells a story, a question that shows deep curiosity, a dance that seems to come from the heart—these moments are more than just childhood innocence. They are glimpses of the gem within. 
  But how often do we pause to truly observe? In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to miss the subtle signals that hint at a child’s hidden talents. What if, with a little patience and a lot of love, we could unearth those treasures and help our children thrive in ways we never imagined? 
  This book is not about turning children into prodigies or pressuring them to succeed. It’s about discovery—finding the joy in helping your child explore their passions, strengths, and unique potential. It’s about listening to the unspoken language of their play, their choices, and their dreams. 
  "Finding the Gem" is your guide to this journey. Through practical techniques, inspiring stories, and thoughtful insights, you’ll learn how to observe, nurture, and support your child in ways that let their natural abilities shine. This is not a roadmap to perfection; it’s an invitation to partner with your child on their journey of growth and self-discovery. 
  Every gem is unique, and so is every child. Let’s begin the adventure of finding and polishing the gem within your child, so they can sparkle in a way that is truly their own.

  Lewis and Clark Expedition - A...

  Hourly History

  In 1800, less than 25 years after it became an independent nation, the United States faced a new threat on its western border. To the west lay a vast area known as the Louisiana Territory, which was under Spanish control. The United States had negotiated treaties with Spain that allowed small numbers of US settlers and traders to enter the territory, to use the Mississippi River for navigation, and to trade through the Spanish port of New Orleans. At the turn of the nineteenth century, however, that situation changed when Napoleon Bonaparte acquired the Louisiana Territory, hoping to revive the former French Empire in North America. A new war with France on America's western frontier began to seem inevitable. 
  But then, abruptly, Napoleon, who was facing the prospect of imminent war with Britain, decided to abandon his plans for North America. A deal was struck in 1803 in which France agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States for $15 million. This purchase added over 800,000 square miles (2 million square kilometers) to the United States, more than doubling its size. There was just one problem: most of the new territory was uncharted wilderness. Few white people had been there, no maps existed, and no one was entirely sure just what it was that President Thomas Jefferson had agreed to purchase. Jefferson saw only one solution: a party of brave men must be sent to explore the vast new territory. They would be entering the unknown and face danger and uncertainty at every step. This is the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

  At an age when most are aiming for retirement, Bob Higgins moved to Uganda with his wife Carol. Over the course of fourteen years, they trained church leaders with the International School of Ministry video curriculum, provided clean water to rural communities, and ran a mobile clinic while establishing a home for children orphaned by rebel warfare in Northern Uganda. Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children. Bob's retelling of the origins of PATH Ministries shows that God can do extraordinary things through faithful service in difficult places.
