The War

The War
By:Geoffrey C. Ward,Ken Burns
Published on 2020-02-04 by Knopf



The vivid voices that speak from these pages are not those of historians or scholars. They are the voices of ordinary men and women who experienced—and helped to win—the most devastating war in history, in which between 50 and 60 million lives were lost. Focusing on the citizens of four towns— Luverne, Minnesota; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama;—The War follows more than forty people from 1941 to 1945. Woven largely from their memories, the compelling, unflinching narrative unfolds month by bloody month, with the outcome always in doubt. All the iconic events are here, from Pearl Harbor to the liberation of the concentration camps—but we also move among prisoners of war and Japanese American internees, defense workers and schoolchildren, and families who struggled simply to stay together while their men were shipped off to Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. Enriched by maps and hundreds of photographs, including many never published before, this is an intimate, profoundly affecting chronicle of the war that shaped our world. From the Hardcover edition.

The Castle Walls of Death

The Castle Walls of Death By:Drac Von Stoller Published on 2011-12-15 by Drac Von Stoller Just before George left work for the day, George received a call from a distant relative telling him he was the sole heir of his great grandfather's castle in England. |Wow, I've always dreamed of living in a castle ever since I was a little boy. This will give me time to work on my new novel about a haunted castle. I can't wait to tell Henrietta and the kids about our new found riches. We will have to leave by the end of the week to be in time for the reading of the will and sign all the appropriate documents,| he said excitedly. |I'm sorry about such short notice,| George explained to his boss, |but I have to be at the reading of the will or I will have to forfeit my inheritance.| |You know if you leave, your job will no longer be here if you decide to come back,| the boss replied sternly. |Yes, I know,| George said resolutely, |but this is my calling, and I'm not going to le...

God's Debris

Gambar
God's Debris By:Scott Adams Published on 2013-12-24 by Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC God's Debris is the first non-Dilbert, non-humor book by best-selling author Scott Adams. Adams describes God's Debris as a thought experiment wrapped in a story. It's designed to make your brain spin around inside your skull. Imagine that you meet a very old man who—you eventually realize—knows literally everything. Imagine that he explains for you the great mysteries of life: quantum physics, evolution, God, gravity, light psychic phenomenon, and probability—in a way so simple, so novel, and so compelling that it all fits together and makes perfect sense. What does it feel like to suddenly understand everything? You may not find the final answer to the big question, but God's Debris might provide the most compelling vision of reality you will ever read. The thought experiment is this: Try to figure out what's wrong with the old man's explanation of reality. Share the book...
