 A limited edition hardcover book and two audio CDs of war letters from the Jewish people who fought for Germany and Austria, read by the authorIn the mud and bloody filth of the trenches, and in the bullet-saturated air above the Eastern and Western fronts, Jewish soldiers and airmen went to fight for their country. They did so pushing against a wave of discrimination from the country they were born into, and whose cause they were absolutely convinced was just. 120,000 of them would die on the front lines for their country. Available in English for the first time, we read the heart-warming, moving, and intensely personal letters that the young soldiers wrote home from the battlefield. The uniquely Jewish viewpoint they express, and the strong traditional elements in their religion, bring the conflict between the inhumane war and religious belief into sharp contrast. The young mens’ attempts to adhere to their faith and rituals during the violent horror of trench warfare are touching, and often tinged with self-deprecating humor. The immense pain, the keenly-felt loss of comrades, and a yearning for home and loved ones shine through the soldiers’ words One great leitmotif runs through the letters: the hope for equality. It radiates from the words as strongly as the desire for peace, and an absolute belief in a German victory. The letters also highlight the firm conviction amongst the Jewish men that a new world was being forged by the war, and that Jews would be treated as equals within a new society. The war letters are a unique insight into life, battle and death on the enemy front lines, and the extraordinary Jewish experience in particular.

Then John Entwhistle died in 2002, but the remaining founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend continue to tour. This book takes fans on the journey with the band as they conquered the world: from small London clubs to Madison Square Garden, from seven-inch vinyl releases to multimillion-selling albums, all the way to recognition as global rock gods.

Along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones were the key group of the sixties; headline makers, style icons, trend setters – but most of all the force behind a string of brilliant singles and albums that have come to define the era. If The Cavern in Liverpool was the birthplace of the Mersey beat, then the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, where the Stones played their first gigs, was at the heart of British rhythm and blues. Formed in 1962 this tells their incredible story including profiles of the past and present members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood, together with Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Mick Taylor.

There are many leadership books written for business professionals that crowd the bookshelves and online libraries of stores today. There are, however, few leadership books that are targeted toward teens and young adults. Michael O’Neill discovered many situations that come up in the daily life of a teen after discussing this with his high school aged daughter. Since Michael had taught leadership development at the world’s largest software firm for over seven years, he realized that the lessons he taught about leadership in the business world could be applied to a person of any age, thus helping teens and young adults make smart decisions and take more leadership roles within their school and organizations. Rather than write a ‘preachy’ instructional book on learning leadership skills, Michael decided to instead write a fictional story about a teenage girl named Maddie who is trying to become a drum major for her high school marching band. What Maddie thinks is leadership turns out to be exactly wrong, and it takes a new friendship with another student she nicknames “The Wizz” to help her understand the concepts behind what makes a great leader. The story is a funny, heartwarming, and educational tale of how understanding the key differences between leadership and management can help students through their toughest situations. Although the story is told through a character in high school band, it is easy to swap out any high school activity where leadership is required. Football players, cheerleaders, chess club, debate club, academic decathlon teams, etc… All of these organizations have opportunities where kids can demonstrate important leadership skills. Even kids who are not a part of an organization can benefit from learning these leadership skills as they explain how to best relate to others and learn to make smart decisions in difficult situations. The skills taught here are the same skills Michael taught in his leadership development program at work. Adults can benefit too from the teachings, however the story is targeted toward teens and young adults. Michael hopes that those reading his book can identify with the characters in this story and hopefully learn some new skills that will last them a lifetime.

July 1969. It’s a little over eight years since the flights of Gagarin and Shepard, followed quickly by President Kennedy’s challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade is out. It is only seven months since NASA made a bold decision to send Apollo 8 all the way to the moon on the first manned flight of the massive Saturn V rocket. Now, on the morning of July 16, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins sit atop another Saturn V at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The three-stage 363-foot rocket will use its 7.5 million pounds of thrust to propel them into space and into history.
