Revealing the ups and downs of life's journey and experiences, author Melinda E. Feliciano presents a poetry collection that summarizes her story and how she has dealt with the drama in her past.Through this introspection, Feliciano explores the range of emotions one experiences in personal matters and relationships while maturing from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. In "Who Am I," she reflects on her past, present, and future. "/ Who am I as a person /Who really knows me / Even those who known me for a long time / Still wonder who I really am / I could be the good girl / Or I could be the bad girl / Who am I really / No one would ever / know / My life had its up and down / Being me hasn't been easy / Who am I now / Nothing comes breezy / Life takes drastic turns / You wonder where it'll take you / Who will believe in me anyway / Then who am I today /""Raising My Voice" delves into Feliciano's inner self and serves as fodder for others to consider who they have been and what they have become.

Although there have been, and continue to be, many books written on a wide variety of aspects of the First World War, this work not only approaches the history of the war from a unique perspective, but also comprehensively covers many of these aspects. Utilizing cards from the extensive, remarkably detailed and mostly contemporaneous issues of cigarette and trade card sets related to the First World War, the author provides a richly illustrated and descriptive tapestry of this great conflict. Not only are the usual political and armed services aspects of the war covered in detail, but also the many other less covered parts receive attention. These latter include regal aspects, and other components of the military such as armamentarium, awards, uniforms and militaria. Then the important role that propaganda played is also covered. The social and literary aspects of the war form an important part of the book. All these written details, a significant amount of which is drawn from the descriptions on the cards, complement the hundreds of card illustrations found throughout the work.

Poems that will make you laugh. Some might bring a tear. But most certainly will make you think, and appreciate our LORD and Savior, JESUS CHRIST.

A century of Alpine postcards from the Isola Press archive, VINTAGE ALPINE POSTCARDS celebrates Europe's great mountain range. These dispatches from the Alps take us from men in bowler hats with stout ropes nonchalantly crawling over crevasses, through the gilded age of grand hotels and sleigh rides, to the modernist concrete infrastructure of mountaintop restaurants and cable-car stations. They frame the changing way we've experienced landscape and leisure over more than a hundred years - from the intrepid to the banal, sublime to ridculous and brutalist to kitsch. But postcards travel through time as well as space, and they arrive with messages from our former selves. Underlying the Alpenkitsch is a serious examination of our relationship to nature and how we have used and abused the beauties of the natural world. And, like sun-burnished memories of holidays past, their sunlit scenes do not necessarily correspond to reality. Postcard makers have always used artifice to conjure fantastic spaces, worlds in which the sky is always blue, the pine trees resplendent and there is always plenty of fresh powder. Featuring great views, architecture, infrastructure Alpinism, hiking and snow sports, VINTAGE ALPINE POSTCARDS is perfect for skiers, hikers, cyclists and mountain lovers. These skaters, skiers, sledgers and St Bernards will surprise and delight mountain aficionados, transporting them to a high altitude holiday wherever they are.

In every movie, every television show, every novel of wartime intrigue, one phrase stands out as typically German: "Show me your papers." The German Wehrmacht ran on paperwork, evidenced by the complicated maze of interrelated forms necessary for troops to move either on leave or for official business from one end of the Third Reich to another. This work, a unique and thorough compendium of original paperwork carried by the soldiers themselves, documents the forms required for German soldiers to travel, go home on leave, or visit the spoils of occupation. A methodically detailed collection that parallels the meticulous nature of the era that produced it, this work is the most thorough collection of original travel ephemera from Nazi Germany assembled to date, one that any collector would be proud to add to his or her collection.

They're back and more popular than ever! The Simpsons continues to be the longest-running prime-time program still on the air, and fans and collectors are still trying to keep up with the incredible variety of toys and collectibles they've inspired. Having discovered a little extra room in his attic for stashing new acquisitions, the author of the world's first guide to Simpsons stuff, The Unauthorized Guide to the Simpsons Collectibles (of which the Copley News Service said, A book worthy of these characters...appropriately witty and well-written.), returns with more. Featuring over 460 brand new, full-color photographs of dolls, figurines, glasses, games, music, comics, promos, and much more, this slightly irreverent and totally engaging book pays homage to those endearing residents of Springfield, USA ,and is, like its predecessor, pure entertainment (Antique Week).

These paper cut-outs developed from toys into a historically important reflection on the German military and social classes from the early nineteenth to the early twentieth century, culminating in their proliferation during the rise and reign of the Third Reich. They make it possible to take a tour through German military and political history, from the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt in 1806 right up to the Maginot Line in 1940. These German paper soldiers, or papiersoldaten zum ausschneiden are, without a doubt, unique visual images that, nowadays, are similar to archeological artifacts, which are very hard to find on the market. Even today, the number of preserved or catalogued images in German museums is very small, so this book, showing thousands of figures in 173 color images, is a an essential collection.
