  Twenty years since its first publication, this new anniversary edition of the Holocaust memoir of George Salton (then Lucjan Salzman), gives listeners a personal and powerful account of his survival through one of the darkest periods in human history. With heartbreaking and honest reflection, the author shares a gripping first-person narrative of his transformation from a Jewish eleven-year-old boy living happily in Tyczyn, Poland, with his brother and parents, to his experiences as a teenage victim of growing persecution, brutality, and imprisonment as the Nazis pursued the Final Solution. The author takes the listener back in time as he reveals in vivid and engrossing details the painful memories of life in his childhood town during Nazi occupation, the forced march before his jeering and cold-eyed former friends and neighbors as they are driven from their homes into the crowded and terrible conditions in the Rzeszow ghetto, and the heart-wrenching memory of his final farewell as he is separated from his parents who would be sent in boxcars to the Belzec extermination camp. 
   
   
   
  This new and substantially reworked twentieth anniversary edition incorporates research based on recently discovered documents related to George Salton's concentration camp experience, a new foreword by Michael Berenbaum, and a new afterword of George Salton's unpublished speeches.

  Seeing Red - Russian Propaganda...

  The US media has been tainted with Russian disinformation, but the more significant threat is how the Right has embraced the Russian model of the news media as a vehicle for propaganda. This could not have happened without Donald Trump, who has been aided and abetted by politicians and news outlets that favor persuasion over information. From his inauguration onwards, Trump has shown allegiance to the Kremlin propaganda playbook—he consistently denies reality, amplifies lies, vilifies the free media, and broadcasts disinformation. 
   
   
   
  Seeing Red breaks new ground in investigating the scope of Russian disinformation, arguing that key politicians and media outlets in the United States have facilitated the dissemination of Russian propaganda. From the 2020 elections to the Capitol Insurrection to the war in Ukraine, Sarah Oates and Gordon Neil Ramsay examine the penetration of key Kremlin strategic narratives that attempt to project Russian power, blame NATO for Russian aggression, and attack democracy via the US news. Despite knowledge of the risk and resourceful work on tracking down Russian propaganda in the United States, the problem of foreign disinformation continues to this day. As Oates and Ramsay argue, this is in part due to exploitation of the American tradition of free speech and the open nature of the US media system.

  Giftedness is a term often shrouded in mystery, misinterpretation, and myth. While society celebrates extraordinary achievements in art, science, and leadership, the inner world of gifted individuals is rarely understood in its full complexity. Being gifted encompasses more than intellectual brilliance or creative talent—it involves a rich tapestry of emotional depth, heightened sensitivities, and an intense drive for meaning and purpose. This book aims to explore these multifaceted dimensions of giftedness, shedding light on both the remarkable strengths and the unique challenges that come with it.  
    
  Gifted individuals often navigate a world that feels out of sync with their internal experiences. Their intense curiosity, rapid learning, and unique perspectives can set them apart, leading to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding. At the same time, they may face profound struggles—perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and heightened emotional intensity—that complicate their relationships, careers, and mental health. For many, giftedness is not a badge of privilege but a complex identity that requires understanding and support to fully thrive.

  Am I aware of the process of thinking? 18 August 1965.Can I see that thought is destructive, except where it is essential? Why is it that we don't see something immediately? Do you know when you are thinking? Is the thing that we call thinking thinking at all? Do you think from the background noise when a problem arises?

Is the background noise different from the observer? How am I to live an everyday life with complete silence?

  Known to millions as the imperious matriarch of Bridgerton's court, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was still a teenager when she was chosen to be the bride of King George III. Shy, innocent, and sheltered, the orphaned princess and her groom carried the hopes of a nation on their shoulders. 
   
   
   
  The unassuming young couple symbolized a new beginning, but soon those hopes began to sour. Charlotte and George's marriage lasted for nearly sixty years and produced more than a dozen children, but it was beset by unrest at home, war in the colonies, and the king's encroaching madness. 
   
   
   
  As the royal couple battled against their critics, their political opponents, and sometimes their own family, Charlotte learned what it really meant to be queen. Locked in a bitter struggle with her eldest son for the king's future and with her daughters for their freedom, the timid young girl grew into an insular and domineering woman that few dared to cross. 
   
   
   
  Shouldering the burden of family disputes, ambitious courtiers, and the care of the man she adored, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz presided over one of the most tumultuous eras that the monarchy has ever seen. This is the story of her extraordinary life.
