Book excerpt: The 'Stan is a collection of short comics about America's longest war. Individual stories highlight different perspectives—one through the eyes of a Taliban ambassador and others through the eyes of Afghan and U.S. Army soldiers—but every account highlights the human element of war. The tales in this book—based on reporting by David Axe and Kevin Knodell and drawn by artist Blue Delliquanti—are all true and took place in roughly the first decade of the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan. While the stories are from the recent past, The 'Stan is still very much about Afghanistan's and America's present—and likely their future.

This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the author's mother, Ellen Florence Nedland, as the designer of her son Stan's life as a forensic scientist. The story really goes back to June 14, 1928, when Mother Ellen's son, Stan, was born in Barron, Wisconsin (Mother Ellen's only child). Mother Ellen was probably the single most important factor in her son', Stan, later becoming a forensic scientist. Mother Ellen started her son reading books at an early age and in early grades. This was a process that continued through grade school and later high school. Mother Ellen would cut out little strips of colored paper to resemble bookends.As Stan finished a book, Mother Ellen pasted it (colored strip) on a sheet of paper as both a record and further reading encouragement. Reading books thereby became an important part of Stan's life. Stan started with author Mark Twain and his stories Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Stan then moved on to the author Arthur Conan Doyle and the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes as a solver of crimes through science and chemistry and microscopy. The Sherlock Holmes series of stores stirred Stan's interest in what would later become his lifetime occupation as a forensic scientist, who handled a thousand cases and testified in the various courts (criminal and civil, federal, state, military, territorial, Canadian, and even a case in Japan).Mother Ellen also gave Stan (while a child) Christmas presents such as chemistry sets, and erector sets to further stimulate his interest in the sciences. Stan often says that "whatever has been his lifetime achievements, he owes most to his mother Ellen. Any failures are his own!"

Download or read book Impossible written by Stan Walker and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling and important memoir about family and forgiveness, love and redemption For the first time, Stan Walker speaks with startling honesty about abuse and addiction, hardship and excess, cancer and discrimination, and growing up in a family where love and violence were horribly entwined. From one of the finest singers to emerge from Australia and New Zealand Aotearoa in a generation, Impossible is a story of redemption and the power of forgiveness. It's also a story about courage and hope; about a young Maori boy finding his place and purpose, never forgetting who he is and where he came from. PRAISE FOR IMPOSSIBLE: As a chronicle of Walker's life, it is gripping, but where the book achieves greatness - and I mean real, true greatness - is as a totem to humanity's capacity for kindness. It's an insight into the soul of a man whose capacity for forgiveness seems boundless. - Sam Brooks 'This is a can't-put-down read, direct and proud and inspirational, an honest document of life in New Zealand on the wrong side of the tracks...' - Steve Braunias 'A remarkable, improbable tale of a young Maori man (Tuhoe and Ngati Tuwharetoa) rising to greatness and finding his purpose after surviving horrific childhood abuse and countless other tragic situations.' - Sebastian van der Zwan 'Stan Walker astonished me with his masterfully structured memoir of abuse and forgiveness.' - Catherine Woulfe

Away from the diamond, Musial proved a savvy businessman and a model of humility and graciousness toward his many fans in St. Louis and around the world. From Keith Hernandez’s boyhood memories of Musial leaving tickets for him when the Cardinals were in San Francisco to the little-known story of Musial’s friendship with novelist James Michener, Vecsey weaves an intimate oral history around one of the great gentlemen of baseball’s Greatest Generation.
