Download or read book Dear World written by Bana Alabed and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A story of love and courage amid brutality and terror, this is the testimony of a child who has endured the unthinkable.” —J.K. Rowling “I’m very afraid I will die tonight.” —Bana Alabed, Twitter, October 2, 2016 “Stop killing us.” —Bana Alabed, Twitter, October 6, 2016 “I just want to live without fear.” —Bana Alabed, Twitter, October 12, 2016 When seven-year-old Bana Alabed took to Twitter to describe the horrors she and her family were experiencing in war-torn Syria, her heartrending messages touched the world and gave a voice to millions of innocent children. Bana’s happy childhood was abruptly upended by civil war when she was only three years old. Over the next four years, she knew nothing but bombing, destruction, and fear. Her harrowing ordeal culminated in a brutal siege where she, her parents, and two younger brothers were trapped in Aleppo, with little access to food, water, medicine, or other necessities. Facing death as bombs relentlessly fell around them—one of which completely destroyed their home—Bana and her family embarked on a perilous escape to Turkey. In Bana’s own words, and featuring short, affecting chapters by her mother, Fatemah, Dear World is not just a gripping account of a family endangered by war; it offers a uniquely intimate, child’s perspective on one of the biggest humanitarian crises in history. Bana has lost her best friend, her school, her home, and her homeland. But she has not lost her hope—for herself and for other children around the world who are victims and refugees of war and deserve better lives. Dear World is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the unconquerable courage of a child, and the abiding power of hope. It is a story that will leave you changed.

Book Synopsis Detroit the Unconquerable by : Scott Ferkovitch
Download or read book Detroit the Unconquerable written by Scott Ferkovitch and published by Society for American Baseball Research. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It had taken three and a half decades, but the Detroit Tigers were finally crowned the best team in baseball in 1935. Coming on the heels of their hugely disappointing loss in the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals the year before, the Tigers emerged victorious in a thrilling six-game October showdown against a talented Chicago Cubs team. It was Detroit's first World Series championship. For a city suffering from the Great Depression, it couldn't have come at a better time. The team was led by player-manager Mickey Cochrane, and featured an offense fueled by Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer, and Goose Goslin (dubber the "G-Men"). On the mound were Lynwood Thomas "Schoolboy" Rowe, Tommy Bridges, Elden Auker, and General Crowder. With 93 victories that summer, the Tigers outpaced the New York Yankees by three games, taking their fifth American League title in club history. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of this great team, the Society for American Baseball Research is proud to present the 1935 Detroit Tigers in all their glory. With contributions from over 35 members of the SABR BioProject, this book is a delightful account of one of the most significant teams in sports history. "Navin Field was packed, and when we won Detroit really came alive. As a team we were like a bunch of brothers. Hank, Charlie, Billy, Goose, Schoolboy, Tommy...all of them. I think of those guys often. It was a wonderful time of my life." -Elden Auker Contents: Introduction by Scott Ferkovich Sleeping Giant: Detroit in the 1930s by Gary Gillette The Babe's Loss Was Detroit's Gain: The Cochrane Trade by John Milner The 1935 Season in Review by Greg Erion THE OWNER: Frank Navin by Marc Okkonen & David Jones THE PLAYERS Elden Auker by Robert H.

Download or read book Noble Illusions written by Stephen Dale and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years ago saw the declaration of a war that would forever change our understanding of war. With a staggering loss of life, World War One was, by all accounts, a brutal and devastating tragedy. And yet, on the eve of the hundredth anniversary, countries around the world are preparing to commemorate the Great War not with regret but with nationalist pride. Conservative forces, already well into a program to elevate the place of the military in society, are embracing the opportunity to replace today’s apparent cynicism with an unquestioning patriotism similar to that which existed a century ago. Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are imploring their citizens — especially their youth — to revive the sense of duty embodied in the generation that served in the trenches. But is the ennobling nature of patriotism the real lesson that people today should extract from that now-vanished generation’s experience? Through a dialogue with a pop-culture artifact from a lost world — a boys’ annual called Young Canada — Noble Illusions examines the use of propaganda to glorify racist colonial wars and, in the wake of those, the Great War. A juxtaposition of earnest instruction on the cultivation of everyday virtues and brutal tales of war masquerading as moral lessons on valour and righteousness, Young Canada helped to persuade a generation of young Canadians to head eagerly to the trenches of World War One. Concerned that the rise of militarism is leading today’s youth in a similar direction, Stephen Dale offers this examination as an inoculation against the blind patriotism politicians are working so hard to instill.

Download or read book Peace on Earth written by Thomas Matyók and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace on Earth: The Role of Religion in Peace and Conflict Studies provides a critical analysis of faith and religious institutions in peacebuilding practice and pedagogy. The work captures the synergistic relationships among faith traditions and how multiple approaches to conflict transformation and peacebuilding result in a creative process that has the potential to achieve a more detailed view of peace on earth, containing breadth as well as depth. Library and bookstore shelves are filled with critiques of the negative impacts of religion in conflict scenarios. Peace on Earth: The Role of Religion in Peace and Conflict Studies offers an alternate view that suggests religious organizations play a more complex role in conflict than a simply negative one. Faith-based organizations, and their workers, are often found on the frontlines of conflict throughout the world, conducting conflict management and resolution activities as well as advancing peacebuilding initiatives.
Book Synopsis The Path Still Open by : Alexander Polikoff
Download or read book The Path Still Open written by Alexander Polikoff and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is still time to bring peace, justice, and beauty to the world . . . Alexander Polikoff focuses his formidable skills on nothing less than the prospects for Homo sapiens. Using the metaphor of passengers on a boat, he considers both the condition of our warming planet and - from the Big Bang to Iraq - the triumphs and failures of its passengers. This look at an imperiled vessel and a history pervaded by the scourge of war leads to a bleak prognosis. Then along come Jonathan Schell, offering an explanation for those occasions when superior force has succumbed to the "lesser force" of common people, and Paul Hawken, finding millions of common people already hard at work confronting despair, power, and incalculable odds. Though it's a long shot, Polikoff concludes that if the strongest passenger can step back from empire, embrace a new consciousness, and lead the others toward Schell's "cooperative power," there is still time to bring peace, justice, and beauty to the world. This compelling story about the central issues of our time places Jared Diamond, James Hillman, Chalmers Johnson, and many others in an intellectual frame that will forever illumine the way you think about our planetary voyage. Praise for Waiting for Gautreaux "An inspiring and fascinating book." -Scott Turow "History as it should be written." - Alex Kotlowitz "An important story, told with great passion . . ." - Chicago Tribune "Polikoff animates his story with humanity and intelligence." - Publishers Weekly "A thrilling story . . ." - Washington Monthly
