  Follow along a Navy SEAL's firsthand account of American heroism during a secret military operation in Afghanistan in this true story of survival and difficult choices. On a clear night in late June 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs left their base in northern Afghanistan for the mountainous Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader known to be ensconced in a Taliban stronghold surrounded by a small but heavily armed force. Less then twenty-four hours later, only one of those Navy SEALs remained alive.  This is the story of fire team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing, and the desperate battle in the mountains that led, ultimately, to the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. But it is also, more than anything, the story of his teammates, who fought ferociously beside him until he was the last one left-blasted unconscious by a rocket grenade, blown over a cliff, but still armed and still breathing. Over the next four days, badly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell fought off six al Qaeda assassins who were sent to finish him, then crawled for seven miles through the mountains before he was taken in by a Pashtun tribe, who risked everything to protect him from the encircling Taliban killers.  A six-foot-five-inch Texan, Leading Petty Officer Luttrell takes us, blow by blow, through the brutal training of America's warrior elite and the relentless rites of passage required by the Navy SEALs. He transports us to a monstrous battle fought in the desolate peaks of Afghanistan, where the beleaguered American team plummeted headlong a thousand feet down a mountain as they fought back through flying shale and rocks.  In this rich, moving chronicle of courage, honor, and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers one of the most powerful narratives ever written about modern warfare -- and a tribute to his teammates, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

  In Our Time - 1923 Edition -...

  Ernest Hemingway

  In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned eighteen original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound. Hemingway would later add to this collection and re-publish the stories in 1925 under the same title and - after adding an additional story - would again republish the entire volume in 1930, again as "in our time" (all in lower case).   Presented here are the original eighteen "vignettes" as Hemingway originally published them in 1923. This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history and also introduced the world to the fictional character of Nick Adams, a protagonist Hemingway would re-visit repeatedly in his career.   Within a few years, Hemingway would become known as one of the most important voices of his generation and his stark prose - lean and brutal at times - would be imitated by generations of writers who followed him.

  Ever opened a tab and forgotten why? 
  Mid-scroll, mid-thought… and poof—it’s gone? 
  No, it’s not just you. And no, it’s not early-onset anything, 
  You’ve simply been Forgotten. By. Design. 
  In Forgotten by Design: The Silent Epidemic of Digital Dementia, tech meets soul in this genre-bending, mind-bending manifesto on how your memory, focus, and very sense of time are being subtly stolen—and sold back to you. 
  This isn’t another “digital detox” guilt trip. 
  This is a call to remember who you were before 
  the algorithm got your number. 
  ◆ Neuroscience meets Vedic rituals. 
  ◆ Ancient myths collide with dopamine loops. 
  ◆ Real-life stories, surreal insights, and soul-searching questions. 
  Meet the yogi hidden in your nervous system, 
  Decode the ghost data shaping your identity. 
  And answer the only question that matters now: 
  If your mind’s been outsourced to machines… 
  what’s left of you? 
  This is not self-help. This is self-awakening. 
  (Warning: Once remembered, you can’t go back.) 
  ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
  Hardik Goel has spent over a decade wrangling data by day and words by caffeine-fueled night. By trade, he’s a data engineer and scientist, by temperament. a writer, editor, and part-time overthinker with an eye for patterns—whether in code, conversation, or comic coincidence. 
  This book is what happens when spreadsheets meet Sanskrit, and logic makes a late-night deal with mythology.
