Book excerpt: For years Daniel Moss has been fascinated with Russia. Now, he's finally taking his dream vacation to St. Petersburg and Moscow. Just when he thinks his interesting but uneventful tourist trip has come to a safe end, Daniel's greatest fears about traveling to such a strange and exotic country on the other side of the world start to materialize. Dan and his Russian tour guide, Sasha, find themselves in the middle of a perilous journey as they are taken hostage by Separatist militants of Chechnya, the tiny country still bitterly struggling for independence from Russia. Along the way, Dan and Sasha become acquainted with smugglers and bandits, learn about a side of Russian history they never knew about, and fall in love. They soon discover the truth about the War on Terror and how it relates to the conflict between Chechnya and Russia-and the dark secret about the most dangerous and sought-after terrorist leaders in the world is revealed. Miraculously, Dan and Sasha get one chance to earn their freedom, but if they fail, they will die. If they succeed, they will accomplish one of the greatest missions of all time-and earn the ultimate victory in the War on Terror.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Home Schooling returns with a timeless tale of friendship, romance, betrayal, and survival that spans two world wars. In 1927, as Natalia Faber travels from Berlin to Prague with her mother, their train is delayed in Saxon Switzerland. In the brief time the train is idle, Natalia learns the truth about her father—who she believed died during her infancy—and meets a remarkable woman named Dr. Magdalena Schaeffer, whose family will become a significant part of her future. Shaken by these events, Natalia arrives at a spa on the shore of Lake Hevíz in Hungary. Here, she meets Count Miklós Andorján, a journalist and adventurer. The following year, they will marry. Years later, Germany has invaded Russia. When Miklós fails to return from the eastern front, Natalia goes to Prague to wait for him. With a pack of tarot cards, she sets up shop as a fortune teller, and she meets Anna Schaeffer, the daughter of the woman she met decades earlier on that stalled train. The Nazis accuse Natalia of spying, and she is sent to a concentration camp. Though they are separated, her friendship with Anna grows as they fight to survive and to be reunited with their families. “An original and compelling story, told with vivid detail and a richness in setting that I absorbed in one sitting.”—Ellen Keith, bestselling author of The Dutch Wife Praise for Homeschooling “Carol Windley’s writing has a unique power, a perfect combination of delicacy, intensity, and fearless imagination.”—Alice Munro “Startlingly lovely.”—Seattle Times

Book Synopsis On the Midnight Train Moscow to Leningrad by : Skip Robinson
Download or read book On the Midnight Train Moscow to Leningrad written by Skip Robinson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brief overview On the Midnight Train: Moscow to Leningrad begins with two chapters of international memoirs, written over time about our American team's conflict resolution teaching and learning overseas during crucial earlier change points in the U.S. relationship with Russia and Cuba. At those times, 26 years ago for Russia, leaders of both countries believed that the Cold War was apparently coming to an end. National leaders and media agreed. Regarding the Soviet Union and Russia, here was a time of fast-improving communication between our two countries and, on all sides, a growing feeling of hope for the future. Our conflict resolution team, from Tacoma's National Center Associates, Inc., and the Conflict Resolution, Research, and Resource Institute, Inc., led by Bill Lincoln, had been invited to come to Leningrad (historically the capital city, St. Petersburg) to work hand-in-hand with a Soviet team to create a first week-long full-time seminar on democratic ecological conflict resolution. This first course of its kind there was to be for Russian professionals working in a number of disciplines, all concerned for how to work together to negotiate solutions for crucial ecological dangers. Our Russian counterparts, with whom we would work to build this cooperative seminar, worked in Leningrad at the country's largest Planning Institute, which was responsible for the civic planning of about 500 cities. Ecological dangers were fast emerging there in ferocious and highly confusing dimensions. Our work there lasted several years and, in spite of the odds, led to creation of conflict resolution academic programs at quite a number of Russian universities. In 1995, our conflict resolution firm went to Cuba to co-develop in partnership with Cuba's Diplomatic Corps a full-time seminar week with Cuban diplomats to cooperative in interest-based democratic conflict resolution for use in their negotiations with other countries. The seminar was to be held with nine American conflict resolution experts and about 30 members of the Republic of Cuba's Diplomatic Corps, related Ministries, and diplomacy academics, as the Cuban Foreign Ministry prepared itself for deepening international change. In the midst of these memoirs, I have included five illustrative poems written on site during our work in Moscow, Leningrad, and Havana. --- On the Midnight Train begins with a poem written for the award-winning book, An Eye for An Eye Makes the Whole World Blind: Poets on 9/11. Then the first two chapters lay out the territory through memoir of our American negotiation training team's experience with our counterparts first in Russia and then Cuba as we searched together for clues about how to lessen and eliminate conflicts together. After building perspective by reading through the Russian and Cuban memoirs, the Midnight Train then provides three reflective chapters on many ways to develop a more systematic and skillful approach to resolving conflict with deeper dialogue through wider skills. Thoughts in these essay chapters point to more skill building in a systematic and interest-based approach to healing of conflict and suffering. In psychology, it explores how knowledge in contemporary humanistic, transpersonal, and democratic methods can contribute to a durable resolution. These chapters also compare critical differences between methods of traditional adversarial negotiations and newer cooperative skills-building and perspective-building approaches to healing negotiation. In this newer and more hopeful mix, a number of leading scholars and practitioners in conflict work and in psychology briefly share their helpful understandings. - Finally, we can remember that the yearning for peace lies so deep in all of us, and this yearning can guide our way home.

Book Synopsis Midnight Train To Siberia by : Alicja Hartley, Teresa Hartley
Download or read book Midnight Train To Siberia written by Alicja Hartley, Teresa Hartley and published by Memoirs Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One freezing February night in 1940, fifteen-year-old Alicja Radomski, her parents and younger sister and brother were dragged from their home and forced to board a cattle train to be transported over a thousand miles to the wastes of Siberia. They were just one of many thousands of Polish families sent to labour camps by Stalin and his thugs after the Soviets seized their country at the outbreak of World War II. They became ‘non-persons’, forced to work from dawn to dusk in freezing conditions on rations scarcely fit for a rat. Ultimately, the Radomskis were among the lucky ones – they managed to survive their ordeal, to return to Europe and find new homes eventually in post-war England, where Alicja married a British serviceman and the family found peace and security. Alicja, now 89, has now told her shocking, heart-rending story with the help of her daughter Teresa.

Book Synopsis Still Foolin' 'Em by : Billy Crystal
Download or read book Still Foolin' 'Em written by Billy Crystal and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilarious and heartfelt observations on aging from one of America's favorite comedians as he turns 65, and a look back at a remarkable career Billy Crystal is turning 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life, from entertaining his relatives as a kid in Long Beach, Long Island, his years doing stand-up in the Village, up through his legendary stint at Saturday Night Live, When Harry Met Sally, and his long run as host of the Academy Awards. Readers get a front-row seat to his one-day career with the New York Yankees (he was the first player to ever "test positive for Maalox"), his love affair with Sophia Loren, and his enduring friendships with several of his idols, including Mickey Mantle and Muhammad Ali. He lends a light touch to more serious topics like religion ("the aging friends I know have turned to the Holy Trinity: Advil, bourbon, and Prozac"), grandparenting, and, of course, dentistry. As wise and poignant as they are funny, Crystal's reflections are an unforgettable look at an extraordinary life well lived.
