  The global refugee crisis has become one of the defining challenges of our time, affecting millions of individuals and reshaping societies worldwide. Conflict, persecution, and environmental disasters have forced people to flee their homes in search of safety and stability. The plight of refugees is a human tragedy, marked by loss, uncertainty, and resilience. Understanding the complexities of this crisis is crucial not only for addressing immediate needs but also for fostering long-term solutions.  
    
  Refugees are often caught in a precarious position, navigating between the dangers of their homelands and the uncertainties of a new environment. From overcrowded camps to perilous journeys across borders, their experiences underscore the fragility of human security in the face of adversity. Despite international efforts, including treaties like the 1951 Refugee Convention, the global response remains fragmented and uneven, leaving many refugees without adequate support.  
    
  The crisis also presents significant challenges for host countries, which must balance humanitarian responsibilities with domestic concerns. Refugees can contribute to the social and economic fabric of their host communities, but this potential is often overshadowed by political debates and societal tensions. Misconceptions and fears about refugees have fueled resistance in some regions, further complicating their integration.

  Among the Firsts: Lieutenant...

  In his own words, the war of the doubly pioneering Lt Col Gerhard L. Bolland—82nd Airborne paratrooper on D-Day and senior OSS field operative on Operation Rype.Unconventional warfare tactics can have a considerable effect on the outcome of any war. During World War II, the United States government developed and employed two new methods of fighting. The first was the development of "paratroop" units, as they were first called. The second was the formation of a covert and sabotage operations branch called the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Lt. Colonel Bolland was involved in both of these "firsts." During the D-Day invasion he parachuted behind enemy lines, jumping out of the 82nd Airborne lead aircraft with General James Gavin. After fighting with the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment for thirty-three days straight, he returned to England and became involved with the OSS Scandinavian Section. He served as Field Commander for their Operation, code named Rype. This was the only American military undertaking, albeit covert, in Norway during the entire course of the war.  As a young boy growing up in rural western Minnesota, Bolland got his military start with the Minnesota National Guard, before being accepted to West Point, solely on merit. His military career lasted seventeen years. Lt. Colonel Bolland ended up with numerous decorations including the Norwegian Liberation Medal and Citation, the Bronze Star for valor, the French Fouragerre of Croix de Guerre with Palms and posthumously the Congressional Gold medal awarded to the OSS Society on behalf of all former OSS members that served during the war.  His story reveals the struggles, successes, failures and ultimate victories, detailing what went right and what went wrong with these new unconventional methods of fighting.

  Speaking in Tongues

  Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues—taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos—examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  The authors inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.
