  For many military veterans, the battle does not end when the uniform comes off. The mission changes, but the struggle often follows them home. Charlie Mike: Pushing Forward Through the Demons is a powerful and honest audiobook that speaks directly to veterans who are fighting silent battles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, isolation, anger, and the weight of military transition. 
   
  Written in a real and relatable voice, this book does not pretend life is easy or offer fake promises. Instead, it delivers something many veterans truly need. Understanding. Hope. Direction. And the reminder that they are not alone. 
   
  The military phrase “Charlie Mike” means continue the mission. That message drives every chapter of this book. Whether you are a combat veteran, first responder, military spouse, parent, friend, counselor, or someone trying to support a veteran you love, this audiobook helps you better understand what many veterans experience after service and why the fight inside can feel just as real as the fight overseas. 
   
  This audiobook explores the hidden struggles many veterans carry every day. Intrusive thoughts. Hypervigilance. Emotional numbness. Self-destructive behavior. The feeling of being disconnected from the civilian world. It also offers practical ways to push forward one step at a time, even on the hardest days. 
   
  More than anything, Charlie Mike reminds veterans that survival itself is a victory. Some days the mission is simply to make it through the next hour. And that is enough. 
   
  If you are a veteran searching for strength, clarity, or hope, this audiobook was written for you. If you support veterans and want to better understand their world, this book can help you become part of their support system in a meaningful way. 
   
  Stay in the fight. Keep moving forward. Charlie Mike.

  Saints and Liars - The Story of...

  Long before their country officially joined the war, American aid workers were active in rescue efforts across Europe. Two such Americans were Martha and Waitstill Sharp, who were originally sent to Prague as part of a relief effort but turned immediately to helping Jews and dissidents after the 1939 invasion by Germany. 
   
   
   
  They were not the only ones. Renowned historian Debórah Dwork follows the story of rescue workers in five major cities as the refugee crisis expanded to Vilna, Shanghai, Marseille, and Lisbon. Followed by Nazi agents, spiriting people across borders, they learned secrecy. 
   
   
   
  Others negotiated with government representatives, like Laura Margolis, who worked with the Japanese, to get enough food and warm shelter for the refugees in Shanghai. Yet, the women also often faced lack of support from their agencies; if part of a couple, they fought to get paid even at a low salary despite working as long and hard as their husbands. 
   
   
   
  Moving and revelatory, Saints and Liars illuminates the unpredictable circumstances with which these aid workers contended, while revealing the moral questions they encountered and the devastating decisions they had to make.

  Nimrud: The History and Legacy...

  Although the Biblical accounts of the Assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the Assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the Israelites and brutal thugs. A historical survey of ancient Assyrian culture reveals that although they were the supreme warriors of their time, they were also excellent merchants, diplomats, and highly literate people who recorded their history and religious rituals and ideology in great detail. The Assyrians, like their other neighbors in Mesopotamia, were literate and developed their own dialect of the Akkadian language that they used to write tens of thousands of documents in the cuneiform script (Kuhrt 2010, 1:84). Furthermore, the Assyrians prospered for so long that their culture is often broken down by historians into the “Old”, “Middle”, and “Neo” Assyrian periods, even though the Assyrians themselves viewed their history as a long succession of rulers from an archaic period until the collapse of the neo-Assyrian Empire in the 7th century BCE. In fact, the current divisions have been made by modern scholars based on linguistic changes, not on political dynasties. 
  	The city of Nimrud was one of the Assyrians’ most important cities, and it has been known by many different names throughout its history. In ancient Assyrian, the city was called Kalḫu, a name first attested to in texts dating back to the 13th century BCE. In the Bible, it is known as Calah, and the city is now called Nimrud from an association with the Biblical figure Nimrod. 
  	Nimrud is located in northern Iraq on the east bank of the Tigris River, about 20 miles south of modern Mosul and ancient Nineveh. An ancient Assyrian capital during the Neo-Assyrian period, the city has produced many glorious artifacts and provided countless insights into this ancient civilization, but the history of the city after the fall of the Assyrians has proven just as turbulent and interesting.

  Plan and deliver a curriculum to help your students connect with the humanity of others! 
   
   
   
  In the wake of 2020, we need today's young learners to be prepared to develop solutions to a host of entrenched and complex issues, including systemic racism, massive environmental problems, deep political divisions, and future pandemics that will severely test the effectiveness and equity of our health policies. What better place to start that preparation than with a social studies curriculum that enables elementary students to envision and build a better world? 
   
   
   
  In this engaging guide two experienced social studies educators unpack the oppressions that so often characterize the elementary curriculum—normalization, idealization, heroification, and dramatization—and show how common pitfalls can be replaced with creative solutions. Whether you're a classroom teacher, methods student, or curriculum coordinator, this is a book that can transform your understanding of the social studies disciplines and their power to disrupt the narratives that maintain current inequities.

  The Life of Cleomenes

  Plutarch, Bernadotte Perrin

  Though Sparta and Greece were once bitter rivals, this did not stop Plutarch from writing about Spartan figureheads in his book, Parallel lives. Cleomenes was one of these Spartan figureheads – and was the King of Sparta for many years. From involvement in many wars to his effort to maintain the Spartan state, Cleomenes was still not free from drama. His life ended tragically at his own hands after one final Spartan defeat, but his legacy lived on through the works of Plutarch and others.
