  What is The Xinjiang Procedure? 
  Xinjiang refers to the northwest of China where the Uyghur people, Muslims with Turkic roots, have lived for thousands of years. The procedure refers to Chinese transplant surgeons surgically extracting Uyghur organs while their hearts are still beating, average age, 28 years old.  
   From 2015 on, the WHO and the Transplantation Society asserted this was fiction. China of a different time. Then came the medical testing of any Uyghur above the age of 12. Ten million blood and DNA tests. And the camps filled the desert 
   Ethan Gutmann told the story of Falun Gong organ harvesting with intelligence and heart in his acclaimed book The Slaughter. His searing reporting drew death threats-and helped bring down Taipei's mayor, Dr. Ko Wen-Je for complicity in Beijing's organ harvesting operations. 
   Gutmann's way forward was clear. Refugees were crossing the Kazakh border, fleeing China in a vivid display of human endurance. But Beijing had changed the rules. Throughout Central Asia, human rights investigators were now considered spies. The Chinese press explicitly identified Gutmann as a new "Cold Warrior." 
   Gutmann mustered a 4x4 with no GPS tracker, his foster daughter, skis, a paper map, and a compass. They drove from Germany to the Kazakh border where they were searched and biometrically photographed. Then, from the standpoint of electronic surveillance, the duo vanished into thin air.  
   Gutmann re-emerged in London with startling new evidence from the Xinjiang concentration camps. Beijing was murdering tens of thousands of young people for their organs every year. Foreign organ tourists were purchasing them to order. A young woman's organs were valued at $900,000. 
   This is the account of how Gutmann did it. He brings the story of Beijing's organ harvesting juggernaut, and its Western medical apologists, to conclusion - and points to an unconventional way forward. The Xinjiang Procedure sets a new standard in narrative non-fiction.

  The poignant story of a Japanese American woman's journey through one of the most shameful chapters in American history. 
  Sipping tea by the fire, preparing sushi for the family, or indulgently listening to her husband tell the same story for the hundredth time, Kimi Grant's grandmother, Obaachan, was a missing link to Kimi's Japanese heritage, something she had had a mixed relationship with all her life. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, all Kimi ever wanted to do was fit in, spurning traditional Japanese cuisine and her grandfather's attempts to teach her the language. 
  But there was one part of Obaachan's life that had fascinated and haunted Kimi ever since the age of eleven—her gentle yet proud Obaachan had once been a prisoner, along with 112,000 Japanese Americans, for more than five years of her life. Obaachan never spoke of those years, and Kimi's own mother only spoke of it in whispers. It was a source of haji, or shame. But what had really happened to Obaachan, then a young woman, and the thousands of other men, women, and children like her? 
  Obaachan would meet her husband in the camps and watch her mother die there, too. From the turmoil, racism, and paranoia that sprang up after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the terrifying train ride to Heart Mountain, to the false promise of V-J Day, Silver Like Dust captures a vital chapter of the Japanese American experience through the journey of one remarkable woman. 
  Her story is one of thousands, yet it is a powerful testament to the enduring bonds of family and an unusual look at the American dream.

  Doctor Bernard Patten―erstwhile Memory Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, founder of the first memory clinic at the Neurological Institute of New York, and author of scientific papers on memory therapy and memory problems―wants to help you to a better mind, a better memory, and, consequently, a better life. 
  Memory degradation happens to everyone. Even people in good health forget where they park their cars or leave their reading glasses. Some draw a blank entering their PIN. Is the stove off? Cat fed? Door locked? Did you take your medication? Not sure? How come? These memory problems only get worse as we get older unless we employ mental exercises to improve memory now. 
  Mountains of scientific research prove that mental exercise benefits the brain as much as physical exercise benefits the body. Mental gymnastics boosts brainpower, augments memory, and (in some cases) actually increases brain size. It can help prevent dementia, mental decline, and the much-feared Alzheimer's disease. 
  Making Mental Might does not aim to increase your IQ or show you how to get smarter. It offers the proper mental training to look, sound, and perform worlds better. These techniques have helped hundreds of students at Rice University's School of Continuing Studies under Doctor Patten improve their working memory. They can do the same for you.
