  No Children It Makes Sense! -...

  “Kids are great. It’s a unique process that everyone should experience.” Except that today, 1 in 20 French people refuse to have children. What are the reasons for this “voluntary infertility?”
  Do we really know why we have children? Isn’t having children an obstacle to personal and professional development? In an overpopulated and polluted world, isn’t it selfish to take up too much space by having a family? Don’t children cost too much to individuals and to society?
  The author investigates with dozens of women and men for whom the “duty to procreate” rings hollow. Among these “non-parents” are exclusive lovers, artists, careerists, religious people, traumatized children, eternal teenagers, environmentalists, convinced Malthusians, as well as feminist activists who have made their refusal to give birth a standard, in order to assert themselves in a society that praises all mothers and family values.

  How did the Cuban sandwich become a symbol for a displaced people, win the hearts and bellies of America, and claim a spot on menus around the world? The odyssey of the Cubano begins with its hazy origins in the midnight cafés of Havana, from where it evolved into a dainty high-class hors d'oeuvre and eventually became a hearty street snack devoured by cigar factory workers. In The Cuban Sandwich, three devoted fans—Andrew Huse, Bárbara Cruz, and Jeff Houck—sort through improbable vintage recipes, sift gossip from Florida old-timers, and wade into the fearsome Tampa vs. Miami sandwich debate (is adding salami necessary or heresy?) to reveal the social history behind how this delicacy became a lunch-counter staple in the US and beyond. 
   
   
   
  The authors also interview artisans who've perfected the high arts of creating and combining expertly baked Cuban bread, sweet ham, savory roast pork, perfectly melted Swiss cheese, and tangy, crunchy pickles. Tips and expert insight for making Cuban sandwiches at home will have listeners savoring the history behind each perfect bite.

  Urban life is a dynamic tapestry woven from the threads of culture, innovation, and diversity. Cities, as epicenters of human activity, have always held a magnetic allure, drawing people in with the promise of opportunity, connectivity, and growth. From the ancient cities of Mesopotamia to the sprawling metropolises of today, urban centers have evolved into places where human ambition and creativity flourish. Understanding the essence of urban life requires a deep dive into the social, cultural, and economic forces that shape these vibrant hubs of civilization. 
  At their core, cities are defined by their density and diversity. They bring together individuals from all walks of life, creating a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. This diversity fosters a unique cultural ecosystem where ideas intersect, and innovation thrives. The exchange of knowledge, whether through bustling markets, collaborative workplaces, or artistic endeavors, is one of the defining characteristics of urban living. Cities are not just physical spaces; they are living entities that embody the collective energy of their inhabitants. 
  Urban life is also deeply intertwined with the physical structure of the city. Streets, buildings, and public spaces are more than mere infrastructure—they serve as stages for human interaction and expression. Urban planning and architecture play crucial roles in shaping the experience of city life, influencing everything from how people move and interact to how they feel within their environment. Well-designed urban spaces can foster community, encourage sustainability, and enhance the overall quality of life for city dwellers.

  Special Men - A LRP's Recollections

  Dennis Foley

  A recipient of two Purple Hearts gives readers an inside view of US Army special forces through his own trial by fire during the Vietnam War. Days before he was drafted in 1962, Dennis Foley volunteered to join the army in the hopes of someday getting into West Point. He was only eighteen years old. At basic training in Fort Dix, New Jersey, a presentation by two impressive, self-confident special forces sergeants made an indelible impression on him. His career would come full circle. In 1972, wearing a green beret, Foley would be given command of his own A-Team. But between those two pivotal moments, his determination, loyalty, and mental and physical strength would be tested as never before, fighting in the jungles of Vietnam alongside the bravest men he would ever know. In Special Men, Foley describes his experience at the 7th Army NCO Academy in Germany, where he learned more about leadership than at any other school he would later attend. He takes us moment-by-moment on his heart-pounding introduction to combat—a nighttime, amphibious ambush patrol with the South Vietnamese Navy. We see the shock set in upon realizing that conventional training left him unprepared for the guerrilla army he faced in Vietnam. And we share his sadness over fallen comrades and his own relief at surviving his injuries. This is an unvarnished account of horror and heroism and a tribute to the unselfish devotion to duty of the LRPs, Rangers, and Green Berets.
