Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the tenth anniversary of the date that UN peacekeepers landed in Rwanda, Random House Canada is proud to publish the unforgettable first-hand account of the genocide by the man who led the UN mission. Digging deep into shattering memories, General Dallaire has written a powerful story of betrayal, naïveté, racism and international politics. His message is simple and undeniable: “Never again.” When Lt-Gen. Roméo Dallaire received the call to serve as force commander of the UN intervention in Rwanda in 1993, he thought he was heading off on a modest and straightforward peacekeeping mission. Thirteen months later he flew home from Africa, broken, disillusioned and suicidal, having witnessed the slaughter of 800,000 Rwandans in only a hundred days. In Shake Hands with the Devil, he takes the reader with him on a return voyage into the hell of Rwanda, vividly recreating the events the international community turned its back on. This book is an unsparing eyewitness account of the failure by humanity to stop the genocide, despite timely warnings. Woven through the story of this disastrous mission is Dallaire’s own journey from confident Cold Warrior, to devastated UN commander, to retired general engaged in a painful struggle to find a measure of peace, reconciliation and hope. This book is General Dallaire’s personal account of his conversion from a man certain of his worth and secure in his assumptions to a man conscious of his own weaknesses and failures and critical of the institutions he’d relied on. It might not sit easily with standard ideas of military leadership, but understanding what happened to General Dallaire and his mission to Rwanda is crucial to understanding the moral minefields our peacekeepers are forced to negotiate when we ask them to step into the world’s dirty wars. Excerpt from Shake Hands with the Devil My story is not a strictly military account nor a clinical, academic study of the breakdown of Rwanda. It is not a simplistic indictment of the many failures of the UN as a force for peace in the world. It is not a story of heroes and villains, although such a work could easily be written. This book is a cri de coeur for the slaughtered thousands, a tribute to the souls hacked apart by machetes because of their supposed difference from those who sought to hang on to power. . . . This book is the account of a few humans who were entrusted with the role of helping others taste the fruits of peace. Instead, we watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect.

Book excerpt: 'It's a little book of wonder, it's fantastic' Chris Evans 'A fabulously sparky, wide-ranging and horizon-broadening little study ... joyously unboring' Sunday Times Friends do it, strangers do it and so do chimpanzees - and it's not just deeply embedded in our history and culture, it may even be written in our DNA. The humble handshake, it turns out, has a rich and surprising history. So let's join palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi as she embarks on a funny and fascinating voyage of discovery - from the handshake's origins (at least seven million years ago) all the way to its sudden disappearance in March 2020. Drawing on new research, anthropological insights and first-hand experience, she'll reveal how this most friendly of gestures has played a role in everything from meetings with uncontacted tribes to political assassinations - and what it tells us about the enduring power of human contact. Because the story of the handshake ... is far from over.

Book excerpt: Happiness is about the choices we make. You can buy a quick lunch or simple dinner, or you can buy a book that can positively CHANGE YOUR LIFE! "SHWY" is changing lives and catching on as being the Guide that will give you the power to control your emotions by neutralizing negativity and tapping into your positive inner self. Doing so allows you to handle all the ups and downs that life brings your way. You CAN and WILL not only handle such challenges; but MOVE ON and enable yourself to enjoy your life and the lives of those around you! This book resonates with sound wisdom on all facets of life by beginning with a narrative that takes the reader on an engaging journey of self-discovery of how a little girl's tempestuous family dynamic served to bring out the very best in her natural skills as a positive person and born peacemaker. Throughout the next five decades, numerous hardships of health and devastating heartaches do not damper her happy, optimistic, and positive nature. For her, it was simply never an option, as life is a gift to be lived to the fullest! It is up to each and every one of us to fully understand the gratitude that ever so quickly can become taken for granted. We can complain and add to the chaos or we can LEARN and DO some very simple things that can change our way of thinking and thus change the way we react to the situations that currently threaten to push us over the edge of reason. The SHWY Philosophy was born out of the Author's indomitable spirit for all things positive and loving. Despite many trials and tribulations, her infectious happiness led the way to teaching others on how they too could overcome fear, frustration, anger, resentment, worry, unhappiness, grief, depression, and all other negative energy forces that, left uncontrolled, smother happiness and inner peace. With innovative techniques like "Positive Indifference," the Author helps bring out the happiness and inner peace that lie dormant within you as you regain your zest and vigor for LIFE! "Shake Hands with Yourself" is indeed, as its subtitle touts, "A Peacemaker's Guide to Happiness & Inner Peace." Happiness is there for the taking. It begins with you: understanding why you do the things you do so you can change those negative and self-destructive behaviors; and how to accept the things you cannot change about others and choose to either accept them as they are and/or use "positive indifference" as a method to completely neutralize their hold on you as an irritant. Life is so grand once you realize all the choices are yours when you first shake your own hand! Shake Hands with Yourself: A Peacemaker's Guide to Happiness & Inner Peace. This is The Guide you have been waiting for and wanting to gift to a LOT of your friends and family members who are struggling with so many of life's trials and tribulations. SHWY is as uplifting and motivating, as it is as honest with the pangs of grief and loss. Written from the heart via personal experiences that are engaging and inspirational, the Author's lifetime as a Peacemaker and problem solver has made this extraordinary Guide possible: it will bring out the Peacemaker in you! Beautifully written, as no other of its style and with heartfelt sincerity, SHWY is proving to change lives for the better. Teaching to neutralize the negative energy of others and yet remain friends. They won't even know what you've done ... but suddenly their lives begin to change as well. SHWY is a big hit with men and women alike. Readers pour their hearts out to the author with emails thanking her for "saving my marriage;" and "without you I would still be lost;" as well as "I cannot believe I am finally happy!" The thanks just keep pouring in... Do your part to help make the world a better place: one peacemaker at a time. Truly, YOU can make a difference! The SHWY Philosophy shows you the way in a most unique and engaging style. Goodreads Author, Facebook Author, Amazon BIO. ALL 5-Star Revi

According to all accounts, Angela Hathall was deeply in love with her husband and far too paranoid to invite an unknown person into their home. So who managed to gain entry and strangle her without a struggle? That is the problem facing Inspector Wexford in Shake Hands Forever. Perhaps it was the mystery woman who left her fingerprints on the Hathall's bathtub? Perhaps it was Angela's husband who lied about a stolen library book? And why was the Hathall home, usually so unkempt, exqisitely clean the day of Angela's death? Then a neighbor--friendly, knowing, disarmingly beautiful--offers Wexford her assistance. And what begins as a rather tricky case turns into an obsession that threatens to destroy the Inspector's career--as well as his marriage. Maddeningly addictive, smart and surprising, Shake Hands Forever showcases Ruth Rendell at the height of her storytelling powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most engaging voices contemporary spirituality in is that of the Irish poet, Pádraig O'Tuama. This second poetry collection arises out of a decade of his hearing stories of people who have lived through personal and political conflict in Northern Ireland, the Middle East and other places of conflict. These poems tell stories of individuals who have lived through conflict: their loves and losses, their hope and generosity. One poem, 'Shaking hands' was written when Pádraig witnessed the historic handshake between Queen Elizabeth II and Martin McGuinness, who has since used the poem publicly. The phrase 'Sorry for your troubles' is used all over Ireland. It comes directly from an Irish phrase, yet Irish has no word for 'bereavement' - the word used is 'troiblóid'. So the phrase would be better translated 'Sorry for your bereavements'. With this in mind, this new book speaks evocatively about a time when thousands of people lost their lives and many thousands more lived through the searing pain of grief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop. To build strength out of adversity, we need a catalyst. What we need, according to Dr. Alex Lickerman, is wisdom—wisdom that adversity has the potential to teach us. Lickerman's underlying premise is that our ability to control what happens to us in life may be limited, but we have the ability to establish a life-state to surmount the suffering life brings us. The Undefeated Mind distills the wisdom we need to create true resilience into nine core principles, including: --A new definition of victory and its relevance to happiness --The concept of the changing of poison into medicine --A way to view prayer as a vow we make to ourselves. --A method of setting expectations that enhances our ability to endure disappointment and minimizes the likelihood of quitting --An approach to taking personal responsibility and moral action that enhances resilience --A process to managing pain—both physical and emotional—that enables us to push through obstacles that might otherwise prevent us from attaining out goals --A method of leveraging our relationships with others that helps us manifest our strongest selves Through stories of patients who have used these principles to overcome suffering caused by unemployment, unwanted weight gain, addiction, rejection, chronic pain, retirement, illness, loss, and even death, Dr. Lickerman shows how we too can make these principles function within our own lives, enabling us to develop for ourselves the resilience we need to achieve indestructible happiness. At its core, The Undefeated Mind urges us to stop hoping for easy lives and focus instead on cultivating the inner strength we need to enjoy the difficult lives we all have.

The Generous Gambler is written by Charles Pierre Baudelaire and was first published in 1864. Charles Baudelaire was a 19th century French poet, translator, and literary and art critic whose reputation rests primarily on Les Fleurs du mal; (1857; The Flowers of Evil) which was perhaps the most important and influential poetry collection published in Europe in the 19th century. Similarly, his Petits poèmes en prose (1868; "Little Prose Poems") was the most successful and innovative early experiment in prose poetry of the time. Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a 19th century French poet, critic, and translator. A controversial figure in his lifetime, Baudelaire's name has become a byword for literary and artistic decadence. At the same time his works, in particular his book of poetry Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), have been acknowledged as classics of French literature.
