Beschreibung

In Thirty Canadian V.Cs., 23d April 1915 to 30th March 1918, the anthology offers a poignant exploration into the heroism and valor exhibited by Canadians during pivotal moments of World War I. The collection is marked by a tapestry of narratives that vividly reconstructs the bravery of the thirty Canadian soldiers awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military honor for valor. With a blend of personal accounts, military records, and emotive narratives, the anthology immerses readers in the visceral realities of war, allowing them to traverse battlefields and witness acts of courage that transcend mere historical recounting. The contributing authors, including Theodore Goodridge Roberts and the Canadian War Records Office, bring an authoritative resonance to this collection, rendering voices that echo through time with historical precision and literary eloquence. Military historian Stuart Martin's contributions, alongside those of Robin Richards, are pivotal in bridging the factual with the interpretative, offering insights that align with Canadian literary traditions of war writing and historical reportage. These varied perspectives create a comprehensive lens through which the courage and sacrifices of these soldiers are not merely remembered but indelibly celebrated. This volume is indispensable for readers seeking a multifaceted examination of valor in conflict. It offers an opportunity to explore sharp socio-history and personal stories crafted through diverse styles and perspectives. The anthology stands as a crucial dialogue platform, engaging with diverse literary voices that deepen our understanding of the Canadian contributions to World War I, and serves as an essential resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of history alike.

    On July 6, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein became a household name as an international sex trafficker of underage girls, serial sex abuser, and confidant of the most famous, rich, and most powerful men in the world. Barely a month after his arrest, he was reportedly found dead in his prison cell, supposedly by suicide. Numerous investigations are ongoing, to find out how he really died -- but the public has been kept in the dark. 
    In this first of a series of books about the most notorious #MeToo era sexual predators, author and law professor Deana Pollard Sacks offers the most comprehensive look ever at the sordid life of Jeffrey Epstein. Her research is impeccable and synthesizes news stories, court cases, and interviews -- along with her keen observations -- to give the reader a full picture of the life and crimes of this twisted sexual pervert. 
    In this scathing indictment, Professor Sacks reveals the gross incompetence and bald corruption of certain government officials who aided and abetted the sex abuser, and exposes the media outlets who enabled Epstein's crimes by withholding the truth from us all. 
    This book is a must-read for any #MeToo survivor or follower, concerned citizen, or individual who is fed up with having one justice system for the rich and another for the rest of us.

    It takes more strength and will to survive severe mental illness than it does to become a Navy SEAL. 
    I am one of the few that has survived both experiences. On my 24th birthday I became a newly minted SEAL. Within months I had lost track of reality entirely, becoming mixed up in secret communities, psychiatric wards and showdowns with police. 
    When my mentor and friend was killed in the attack on Benghazi during my mind bending mania, I snapped. Not knowing whether I was dead or alive, hunted by hallucinations and preyed on by delusion. Some ultra powerful government organization had selected me to become a super soldier and I would die before I quit. Stealing a tow truck, breaking out of a holding cell, sending a bomb threat, there was no limit to what I would do. 
    For months I lived as an operator in a clandestine selection process for an organization that only existed in my mind. Certain things in this story only exist in my own mind and it is up to you to determine what really happened to me. It is the history of my perspective and it is as real to me as reality is to you. The story is as raw as it is true with all the gory bits of madness. 
    My aim in writing is to show you that you’re not alone. If you’re severely mentally ill you’re just like me and nothing like me at the same time. My friend, you are unique but you are not alone. I am fighting this wretched darkness with you, sword in hand.

    Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments. 
     
     
     
    On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.
