color: #353535} On the night of April 6, 2007, in Iraq's Anbar
Province, Senior Chief Mike Day, his team of Navy SEALs, and a
group of Iraqi scouts were on the hunt for a high-level al Qaeda
cell. Day was the first to enter a 12x12 room where four terrorist
leaders were waiting in ambush. When the gunfight was over, he took
out all four terrorists in the room, but not before being shot
twenty-seven times and hit with grenade shrapnel. Miraculously, Day
cleared the rest of the house and rescued six women and children
before walking out on his own to an awaiting helicopter, which flew
him to safety.While in the hospital, the Navy SEAL lost fifty-five
pounds in two weeks. It took almost two years for Day to physically
recover from his injuries, although he still deals with pain. Like
so many veterans, doctors diagnosed Day with Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury -- the invisible wounds of
war.Bone Frog is the remarkable story of an American hero whose
incredible survival defies explanation, and whose blessed life of
service continues in the face of unimaginable odds.

The bishop was feeling rather sea-sick. Confoundedly sea-sick, in
fact. An Anglican bishop, on recuperative leave from his African
diocese, alights at the island of Nepenthe for a short stay on his
passage to England. Soon he is caught up in the wild and exuberant
antics of visitors and residents. Norman Douglas's famed, and
infamous, novel of Capri is a hedonistic journey and an
unforgettable classic.

Kirk and Anne: Letters of Love, Laughter, and a Lifetime in
Hollywood is the story of film legend and charismatic centenarian
Kirk Douglas and his wife of sixty-two years, Anne Buydens. The
lessons of a life well-lived and untold stories of their enduring
love unfold through the couple's own candid commentary and a
treasure trove of priceless letters from their personal archives.
Painstakingly maintained by Anne over the course of more than six
decades and never before made public, the correspondence includes
candid details of their (often turbulent) courtship and marriage,
set against the backdrop of Kirk's screen triumphs in films ranging
from Lust For Life to Paths of Glory and Spartacus. Through the
letters themselves and Kirk and Anne's words, never-before-told
stories emerge about the legendary stars they knew so well: Lauren
Bacall, Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich, Gregory
Peck, Cole Porter, John Wayne, Tony Curtis, and son Michael
Douglas; fascinating first-hand accounts of Hollywood film sets and
dinner parties; exotic tales of travel to over forty countries as
goodwill ambassadors. There are personal stories of presidents and
first ladies (JFK and Jackie, LBJ and Lady Bird, Jimmy and Rosalyn
Carter, Bill and Hillary Clinton and, "Ronnie" and Nancy Reagan),
and powerful memories of both joy and sadness (Kirk's near-fatal
helicopter crash, his astonishing recovery from a debilitating
stroke, the tragic death of their youngest son). Complemented by
dozens of previously unpublished photos, Kirk and Anne candidly
details the adventurous, oftentimes comic, and poignant reality
behind the glamour of a Hollywood life, as only a couple of
sixty-two years (and counting) could tell it.
The creation of the League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commission
(PMC) at the close of the First World War, and its successor, the
United Nations Trusteeship Council (TC), following the Second, were
watersheds in the history of modern imperialism. For the first
time, the international community had asserted that the well-being
of colonial peoples was not merely the private concern of
metropolitan states, but a shared responsibility of humankind that
transcended national boundaries. Editors R.M. Douglas, Michael D.
Callahan, and Elizabeth Bishop have assembled a wide array of
scholars to assess the relative weight to be placed on
international influence in the process of decolonization.
Imperialism on Trial reveals, across a broad cross-section of
geographical and political settings, the operation of the
complicated and often conflicted dynamic between the national and
international dimensions of colonialism in its final and most
historically consequential phase.
