The Forger: An Extraordinary Story of Survival in Wartime

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schonhaus, Cioma / Neiss, Marion, PUBLISHER: Da Capo Press, In Nazi Germany, 20-year-old graphic artist Cioma Schonhaus found a unique outlet for his talent: he forged documents for people fleeing the Reich, ultimately helping to save hundreds of lives. Yet, even as the Gestapo posted his photo in public, he lived a daringly adventurous life, replete with fine restaurants and beautiful women, all the while managing to elude the Nazis. Breathtakingly bold, Schonhaus talked his way out of an arrest, defended Jewish diners being harassed by the police, and ultimately fled Germany by bicycling to Switzerland. Schonhaus's story-his courageous exploits that saved so many, as many others around him were deported, one by one, to the concentration camps-is an astonishing tale of wartime heroism and survival.

The Band That Played on: The Extraordinary Story of the 8

“They kept it up to the very end. Only the engulfing ocean had power to drown them into silence. The band was playing ‘Nearer,My God,to Thee.’ I could hear it distinctly. The end was very close.” —CHARLOTTE COLLYER,TITANIC SURVIVORThe movies,the documentaries,the museum exhibits. They often tell the same story about the “unsinkable” Titanic,her wealthy passengers,the families torn apart,and the unthinkable end. But never before has “that glorious band”—the group of eight musi

Raising Blaze: Bringing Up an Extraordinary Son in an

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ginsberg, Debra, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers, From Debra Ginsberg, the acclaimed author of the surprise hit "Waiting: The True Confessions of a Waitress," comes a new book that unflinchingly documents her fears and frustrations as well as soaring moments of joy and satisfaction in raising her son, Blaze. Debra Ginsberg knew that her son was unique from the moment he was born. What she didn't know was that Blaze's differences would be regarded by others not as gifts but as impediments to his social and academic success. Blaze never crawled; at one he simply stood up and walked. By the time he was four, he knew the complete works of Miles Davis. At five, he assigned colors to days of the week. When he turned ten, he asked to reenact his own birth, so that this time he could have "enough breath to cry." But from his first day of kindergarten, Blaze was considered a "problem" in the classroom. All his life he's defied diagnosis by a host of experts who have sought to label him. Writing with blistering honesty and irrepressible humor, Debra Ginsberg chronicles the extraordinary journey she has taken with her son through meetings with administrators, doctors, psychologists, and a host of other professionals, all with their own ideas about what makes Blaze "different" and all convinced that their answers were the right ones. A powerful advocate for her son and a compelling voice for those raising special kids, Ginsberg interweaves her moving personal story and her hard-fought battles with schools and medical professionals to create a book that speaks to all parents. "Raising Blaze" is also a message in a bottle for all the square pegs who refuse, in one way or another, to be shaped, shoved, or squeezed into unyielding roundholes.

Amos: An Ordinary Man with an Extraordinary Message

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Betts, T. J., PUBLISHER: Christian Focus Publications, Amos had no claim to fame. He was not even a son of a prophet. Neither had he had any formal training to be a prophet. Yet God called him out from a career of overseeing Herdsman. He was sent out from the south to bring the Lord's message to Samaria in the Northern Kingdom. Amos called to speak at the time of national disunity; military superiority; economic prosperity and religious activity. Amos brings home the idea of a famine. However it is not food the people lack like we might expect but there is a famine of the Word of God. Through this study we will be reminded of the importance of the Word of God in our lives.

Institutions and the Politics of Survival in Jordan:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lucas, Russell E., PUBLISHER: State University of New York Press, Weaving together accounts of historical developments, cultural elements, economic factors, and regional and international dynamics, Russell E. Lucas explores how the monarchy in Jordan survived economic crisis and regional political instability during the s. Lucas analyzes the factors behind the successful liberalization and deliberalizations of laws regulating political parties, the parliament, and the press that helped preserve the monarchy. These institutional survival strategies co-opted the opposition, kept it divided, and reinforced the unity of the regime's coalition of supporters. The author also compares survival strategies in Jordan with those of Morocco. Kuwait, Iran, and Egypt to explain the surprising durability of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East.
