    Unmittelbar nach dem Terroranschlag der Hamas auf Israel beginnen Sasha Marianna Salzmann und Ofer Waldman eine Korrespondenz über eine erschütterte Welt - die Welt nach dem 7. Oktober. In Briefen und Chats, mit Gedichten und Musik, die sie einander schicken, versuchen sich die beiden Autor:innen an einer Beschreibung und Benennung dessen, was sie gerade sehen und erleben - jenseits des tagespolitischen Geschehens. Ofer Waldman erzählt von seinem Alltag in Israel. Er sitzt Shiva, unterhält sich mit seinen Kindern, geht auf Mahnwachen, hört auf die Klänge des Nahost-Krieges. Sasha Marianna Salzmann verdichtet ihre Erlebnisse und Beobachtungen in unterschiedlichen Städten Mitteleuropas. Sie sitzt am Mahnmal für die ermordeten Jüdinnen und Juden an der Donau in Budapest, streitet sich in Wiener Kaffeehäusern und schaut dem Blaulicht der Polizeikonvois am Berliner Hermannplatz zu. Was ist noch übrig von alten Gewissheiten nach dem 7. Oktober, was hat Bestand im Strudel der Meinungen, Behauptungen und Positionierungen? Und was scheint in der Folge des Nahostkonfliktes und des furchtbaren Krieges im Nahen Osten unwiederbringlich verloren? Im Versuch, sich diesen Fragen erzählerisch zu nähern, entsteht ein Dialog, der immer mehr zum berührenden Dokument einer Freundschaft wird: Ich sehe dich, sagen diese Briefe, ich kann nichts tun, aber ich bin da. »Du schreibst meinen Namen, und die Zeit verklebt sich, Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Die Zukunft, in die wir schauen, wird zum Spiegel. Ein Trost, immerhin: Ich sehe dich darin.« Ofer Waldman an Sasha Marianna Salzmann, 22. Oktober 2023

    Diese Erinnerungen an das Mosambik der Kolonialzeit konnten erst 2009 erscheinen, nach dem Tod des Vaters der Autorin. Das Buch war sofort ein Skandal und ein Bestseller dazu, bislang erlebte es neun Auflagen.Und stellte einen Tabubruch dar: Es räumte radikal mit der Legende von der »sanften« portugiesischen Herrschaft in Übersee auf und vermittelte einen ungeschönten Blick auf den blutigen Kolonialkrieg in Mosambik. Im Zentrum steht der Vater der Autorin, ein Elektriker, der seit den 1950er Jahren in Mosambik lebt und arbeitet. Er ist den ärmlichen Verhältnissen der portugiesischen Provinz entflohen und entfaltet nun seine Macht als Weißer, der mit seinen schwarzen Untergebenen scheinbar auf vertrautem Fuß steht, seine Position jedoch wie selbstverständlich mißbraucht, besonders Frauen gegenüber. Die Tochter erlebt das hautnah mit. 1974 bricht die Kolonialmacht zusammen, der Vater schickt die Zwölfjährige allein nach Portugal zu seiner Mutter. Sie soll dort berichten, welches Unrecht ihm und den anderen Siedlern geschieht. Das tut sie nicht. Isabela Figueiredo versteht es, die Perspektive des Kindes mit Reflexionen über die Realität des Kolonialismus zu verbinden. Es entsteht das Bild eines alltäglich gelebten Rassismus, einer menschenverachtenden Ausbeutung, die nie hinterfragt wird. Doch der unverstellte Blick des Kindes sieht mehr, weil er nicht an den Fassaden hängenbleibt. Gleichzeitig aber wird damit der geliebte Vater zum Feind - dem sie dann ihr Buch widmen wird.

    By most standards, highly decorated Marine Colonel Jim Viejo would be considered a hero . . . but not in his own eyes. Personal tragedies have led him to conclude that he is a sinner and that God is rightfully punishing him for his transgressions. As the former amateur golfer's life continues to unfold in a reasonably satisfying, somewhat predictable pattern, Joe is enjoying a happy marriage, working as a bank executive, and gearing up for retirement. But as he is about to discover, life has a way of throwing a curveball that changes everything.Following a weekend spent watching the Masters golf tournament on television, Joe is working at his desk when he receives a message from God on his computer screen that tells him he has been chosen to deliver an inspirational message to the world that the seemingly impossible is possible. God tells Joe he is going to play in the Masters the following spring, and if his faith is strong enough, he will win. As Joe embarks on a spiritual journey to make a difference, he must learn to face his fears, have confidence in his abilities, and commit to his goals before he can succeed.Walking with Herb is an inspirational story of an aging small-town banker's attempt to fulfill his higher purpose and, with God's help, prove that anything is possible.

    This is a story of a journey in the life of a gentleman from being a shepherd to a competent diplomat assigned to Ethiopian Embassy in London, UK. During his time in his post, he met several British diplomats working in the Foreign Office, Home Office and Department for International Development. More importantly, he had those rare opportunities to meet and talk to Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II.The story also extensively illustrates the diplomatic resentfulness, disputes and underground riots by African diplomats with the host country, Ethiopia during the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi time. It also touches in some detail in connection with the national protocol in the welcoming and seeing off ceremonies of Prime Minister Meles and the accreditation of foreign new ambassadors with the late President Dr Negasso Gidada at the National Palace.It narrates how the challenges and experiences in his early childhood life shaped his future life in a family of twelve children in a small town, Butajira, Ethiopia. Moreover, it continues narrating his strong attachment to the chains of mountains called ZEBIDAR whilst living in London and his disappointments that children in Ethiopia are not learning about it as it was not included in the Ethiopian's National Curricula. To this effect, he figuratively and imaginatively incited the ZEBIDAR Chains of Mountains to mobilise an international mountains mob to the success of getting recognition and being included in the education system, It continues to explain how he was joyful and thrilled with his own immediate family (wife and two amazing daughters) and discloses some family secrets and shared beautiful memories of the family without hiding the most challenging storms and tough times in their family life so that others could learn from them. His life's journey in the search for the right wife was long and difficult. Nonetheless, did he find one or is he still in the search?

    My mind tends to see humor in what others think isn't so damn funny. Even when I was in the hospital and in some pretty bad pain, I found moments of humor. When people who write humor see the world, it just does not look like what other people see. That is the best I can do to explain it.Vince Clews is the author of one previous book, Water Walkers: From Secular Careers to Sacred Service, 39 Stories of Faith.

    This is a compelling true story of a young boy born and raised in poverty in Oklahoma. He struggled in school, especially in reading and math. It was his mother who helped him learn reading and math, not his teachers. Fighting in order to protect himself resulted in several "paddling's" and other disciplinary actions at school. Facing the possibility of being sent to a delinquent home for boys, he devised a plan where he would catch a train going north with King, a dog, who he promised would never be a stray dog again. He had even practiced jumping a boxcar while the train was moving! He would miss his family, but he was not going to the place for delinquent boys. In the fifth grade, with the help of his mother, he started turning things around. He accelerated to the top of his class in all subjects. Not only was he top of his class academically, but also, he burgeoned in sports. He played on the seventh- and eighth-grade basketball and baseball teams when he was only in the fifth grade. He loved reading about medicine, rockets, math, and the universe, among other subjects. When he told his counselor and teachers that he wanted to become a doctor, he was encouraged to go into something else. Again, it was his mother that encouraged him to follow his dreams. With his poor education, it was doubtful his dreams would come to fruition. Still, he never gave up on his dreams. Through hard work and perseverance, his dreams come true.

    About the AuthorI was born into a family of dancers, musicians, and movie producers. Momma always said, "The world is our stage. No matter how difficult a situation may be, the show goes on, so suck it up buttercup, make the best of it." Show-biz people learn to solve problems with laughter.In 1950, at age 7, when the psychiatry department of Tulane University needed a child actor for a human behavior documentary, I got the job. What I witnessed working with doctors impressed me greatly. After graduating from the Hoffman Institute, I was licensed to work in the Medical Arts Centre on 57th Street in New York City. This 18-story building included a small hospital for mentally disturbed. The top two floors were privately owned apartments reserved for performing artists.On the lower floor where I worked people of every age, race and religion came to us seeking relief from mental and physical oddities deemed incurable by other doctors. Much to my delight I learned the disability paradox. People suffering permanent disability can achieve excellent, productive lives; often they become the happiest people on the planet.Thank you for reading my book. I love you.Your friend, O'Dear

    This book was written with the hopes of reaching anyone interested in law enforcement, anyone who wants to become a police officer, and anyone interested in what happens during the daily life of an officer in training. It is also a resource for people who wonder what kind of and how much training a police officer receives. I have written about my academy classes and experiences that I believe were essential to my becoming an officer as well as a few experiences during the time that I have been an officer. When I was preparing to join an agency, there were no resources available for new-hire officers, and this book's intention is to reach those who want to know what they are getting into.

    Anton Ottmann eröffnet einen bewegenden Einblick in das Leben des Ehepaars Rositta und Leopold Oppenheimer sowie ihrer Söhne Hans und Max - eine Familie, die durch die Schrecken des Holocausts zerrissen wurde, aber nie aufhörte, gegen das Vergessen anzukämpfen. Ottmann verknüpft die fragmentierten Lebenswege zu einem fesselnden Gesamtbild einer deutsch-jüdischen Familie mit regionalem Bezug. Von Heidelberg bis nach London, von den französischen Internierungslagern Gurs und Noé, von der Verfolgung bis zum Exil, taucht Ottmann tief in die Geschichte dieser Familie ein. Herzstück des Buches bilden Auszüge aus 200 Briefen, die sich die Oppenheimers in der Zeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs geschrieben haben - Zeilen, die von Angst, Liebe, Hoffnung und der unerschütterlichen Bindung zwischen Eltern und Kindern zeugen. Zusammen mit den von Ottmann verfassten Biografien enthüllen sie ein Leben zwischen Verzweiflung und Zuneigung, zwischen dem Kampf ums Überleben und dem Festhalten an Menschlichkeit und Wahrhaftigkeit.

    Step into the remarkable journey of resilience and hope with Life After a Craniotomy Operation. Our brain, often compared to a computer perched atop our heads, serves as the epicentre of our existence, enabling us to navigate the complexities of modern life and its myriad highs and lows.

But what if a dedicated team of neuroscientists offers a lifeline? They extend a helping hand, emphasizing the pivotal word: 'help.' In that moment, how would you respond? Would you eagerly embrace the opportunity, exclaiming, 'Yes, sir!' Or would you cautiously inquire, 'Only if it can restore my previous self?' But pause and consider-what does 'normal' truly mean?
