  Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series 
   
  Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like The Life and Works of Nikola Tesla. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish. 
   
  How It Works: 
   
  - Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it. 
   
  - The following page provides the fact in English and then repeats it in Spanish, aiding comprehension and memorization. 
   
  - The second half flips this order—English first, then Spanish, and English again—helping you practice translation in both directions for better mastery. 
   
  Benefits: 
   
  - Concise Learning: Focuses on one-sentence facts to ensure every word learned is impactful and directly related to your interests, making them easier to remember. 
   
  - Reinforcement: Alternating languages for each fact naturally strengthens vocabulary and grammar. 
   
  - Engagement: Learning vocabulary through topics you're passionate about keeps the process dynamic and relevant. 
   
  - Dual Knowledge: You enrich your understanding of a specific subject while learning a new language. 
   
  This series is tailored for learners who thrive on clear, targeted information, making it both educational and enjoyable. Whether you’re a beginner or expanding your linguistic skills, this series promises an effective and engaging educational journey. Embrace these 100 facts and let your passions drive your progress in mastering a new language!

  Lilies in the Field is the story of Air Force Captain Kathy Anderson, from her idyllic childhood years as the daughter of an Air Force officer living in the Netherlands and Germany to her return to the United States to complete her education, grow in her spiritual journey, and establish a career in the Air Force. This memoir captures the details of a life whose path winds through spiritual highs and lows, discovering a vocation, embracing the challenges and opportunities of a military career in missile defense, and rising through the ranks of academia. 
  Along the way, Anderson's sudden onset of mental illness threatens to derail her hard-earned career and her dream of academic achievement. Through a blend of humor and grace, Anderson invites readers into the events leading up to her first symptoms of schizoaffective disorder and recounts her ongoing struggles with seeking a diagnosis and finally receiving treatment. They will be plunged into her mind as she battles delusions and paranoia, bringing her to the brink of suicide as she struggles through setbacks and also strengthens her bond with her family as she discovers their shared struggles with mental illness. 
  The book's three journeys, which span a career, a dark night of the soul, and the depths of mental illness, all converge as Anderson is able to find gratitude, practice her faith, and serve others with her remarkable story of recovery. Like the lilies in the field from which this book takes its name, Anderson's story of hope, courage, and perseverance is beyond the things of this world and ultimately clothed in splendor.

  "Sweeney makes a charming companion, telling stories in joyful reflection." —Jeff Deutsch, author of In Praise of Good Bookstores 
   
   
   
  Former bookseller, longtime publisher, and author Jon M. Sweeney shows—with history and anecdotes centering around books such as Thoreau's Journal, Tagore's Gitanjali, Martin Buber's Hasidic Tales, and Tolstoy's Twenty-three Tales—what it means to be carried by a book. He explores the discovery that once accompanied finding books, and books finding us. He ponders the smell of an old volume, its heft, and why bibliophiles carry them around even without reading them. He demonstrates how and why there is magic and enchantment that takes place between people and books.

  Our Vietnam Wars Volume 1 - as...

  Want to know what Vietnam was really like? This is not another war book. These are the personal stories of 100 veterans, ordinary men and women, black and white, real stories from real people in their own words who were caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, from 1965 to 1975, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Australian, and New Zealanders, come walk in their boots.  
  The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most were just trying to survive. As we all knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad.  
  And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. But whether we were truck drivers, nurses, helicopter pilots, infantryman, clerk typists, medics, engineers, MPs, sailors out on Yankee station, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. 
   That's the diversity of experience you'll find in this book. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and you will. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop.

  Inside the Mind of the Yorkshire...

  Chris Clarke, Tim Hicks

  The fullest possible account of the crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, including those he was not charged with and has never previously been connected to. 
  The police believed Sutcliffe was operating only in the Greater Manchester Police, South Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police force areas, using his car. In fact, Sutcliffe was operating nationally and internationally, using his employer’s lorry to commit attacks. Authors Chris Clark and Tim Hicks have meticulously researched Sutcliffe’s crimes and reveal many of his previously unknown victims for the first time. 
  The police failed to deliver justice for the victims’ families, and the media has failed to hold the police to account for this failure – both in the original investigation and in subsequent cold-case investigations. 
  The authors hope that by bringing more of the facts of the case into the public domain and by telling the victims’ stories, they can help to bring closure for friends and relatives of victims of the Yorkshire Ripper.
