  World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the Northern Italy from 10 September 1944 to 4 April 1945. 
  By the end of the first week of August 1944 members of the British Eighth Army stood on the Ponte Vecchio, bridging the Arno River in recently liberated Florence, Italy. The Eighth Army had just completed a campaign, in conjunction with the U.S. Fifth Army, that had kept Axis forces in Italy in full retreat, unable to halt the Allied drive north of Rome that had begun with Operation DIADEM the previous May. For the first time since the Italian campaign had begun, Allied leaders were optimistic that they were on the verge of pushing the Germans out of the northern Apennines and sweeping through the Po Valley beyond. After that, many hoped for a rapid advance into the Alps, the Balkans, and perhaps into Austria, before winter and the enemy could stem their advance...

  Human Is the New Vinyl traces the arc from the printing press to generative AI and reveals how each wave of innovation reshapes what we create, how we connect, and what we decide is worth keeping. 
  When music went digital, everyone thought vinyl was gone for good. But people brought it back because they wanted something real — the texture, the ritual, the imperfection, the presence. Human creativity is having its vinyl moment right now. 
  As AI floods writing, music, art, voice acting, and education, the line between real and synthetic is blurring fast. This book explores what we gain from new tools, but also what we stand to lose if we let "easy" replace what makes us human. 
  With stories, cultural insight, and sharp reflection, Human Is the New Vinyl makes the case that the human voice — with all its texture, imperfection, and spirit — is still the most powerful force we have. 
  Narrated by the author, this audiobook is itself a statement about choosing human over artificial. 
  For creators, educators, technologists, and anyone asking: What do we stand to lose in the age of machine-made everything? 
  If you're still listening — this is for you. You're not alone. This is the sound of something real, rising again.

  A Truce That Is Not Peace

  "Essential reading. A companion for turbulent times."—Laura van den Berg 
    
  Internationally bestselling author Miriam Toews' memoir of the will to write—a work of disobedient memory, humor, and exquisite craft set against a content-hungry, prose-stuffed society. 
    
  “Why do you write?” the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews—all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer—surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. 
    
  Marking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, A Truce That Is Not Peace explores the uneasy pact a writer makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane—this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.

  This collection of 80 poems is meant to bring encouragement and inspiration to anyone who has ever thought, or dreamed, of writing, whether personally or professionally. Writing takes many forms, whether it’s a letter, diary, blog, article, story, play, poem or novel. I will confess my writing leans in favor of fiction. 
  These poems are also meant for readers because we cannot have one without the other. The goal of any author is to have universal appeal. Thank you for considering the work of this author.
