American Nuremberg - Rebecca Gordon - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

American Nuremberg - Rebecca Gordon - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

No subject is more hotly debated than the extreme measures that our government has taken after 9/11 in the name of national security. Torture, extraordinary rendition, drone assassinations, secret detention centers (or ?black sites”), massive surveillance of citizens. But while the press occasionally exposes the dark side of the war on terror and congressional investigators sometimes raise alarms about the abuses committed by U.S. intelligence agencies and armed forces, no high U.S. official has been prosecuted for these violations ? which many legal observers around the world consider war crimes. The United States helped establish the international principles guiding the prosecution of war crimes ? starting with the Nuremberg tribunal following World War II, when Nazi officials were held accountable for their crimes against humanity. But the American government and legal system have consistently refused to apply these same principles to our own officials. Now Rebecca Gordon takes on the explosive task of ?indicting” the officials who ? in a just society ? should be put on trial for war crimes. Some might dismiss this as a symbolic exercise. But what is at stake here is the very soul of the nation.

Wabi Sabi - Agneta Nyholm Winqvist - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Wabi Sabi - Agneta Nyholm Winqvist - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

According to the American Psychological Association, more than one in five Americans experience extreme stress on a daily basis. In an age when most people spend more time looking at a computer screen than out a window, and when human interaction flies by at the speed of an email, it’s no wonder we’re a society searching for a sense of meaning and purpose. Now Swedish expert Agneta Nyholm Winqvist offers a ray of hope in her succinct and unadorned introduction to wabi sabi. An Eastern philosophy with roots dating back 5,000 years, “wabi sabi” at its most elegant base is the search for “timeless wisdom.” The antithesis of a too-much society, wabi sabi philosophy has helped guide millions of practitioners to a more fulfilling, efficient, and stress-free lifestyle. Applicable to almost every stressful circumstance, Winqvist’s Wabi Sabi will teach readers to search for their own inner calm, while allowing them to embrace the beauty and simplicity of everyday life. From the businesswoman looking to de-stress and refocus, to the family struggling with finances, to the young college student seeking a better future— Wabi Sabi has something for everyone.

What Happens When I'm Scared? - Dagmar Geisler - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The perfect tool to teach children how to handle emotions such as feeling scared, anxious, or worried. What Happens When I'm Scared? provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the opportunity to speak with children about this important topic. What is fear? What does it feel like? Can feelings of fear be passed on to others? And can they return? In What Happens When I’m Scared? , children take turns listing what scares them. They express their concern over the dark, big dogs, heights, spiders, monsters under the bed, bullies, extreme weather, and speaking in front of others.

They learn about their body’s biological reactions, both physical and mental. And they determine that it’s absolutely okay to be afraid and that everyone, from babies to grandparents, is scared sometimes. In What Happens When I'm Scared , award-winning author and illustrator Dagmar Geisler draws attention to what could be a sensitive subject to some and provides advice for overcoming fear that will be helpful to young readers as well as those who live and work with them daily, like parents, grandparents, teachers, siblings, and caregivers.

Surviving the Shark - Margaret Kathrein - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Surviving the Shark - Margaret Kathrein - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In Surviving the Shark , Jonathan Kathrein describes his incredible shark attack experience. The book covers all aspects of Kathrein’s survival, beginning with the eerie moments just before the attack, when something smashes into Kathrein’s hand as he paddles on his board, waiting for a wave off Stinson Beach in northern California. Realizing it is probably shark, and possibly a great white, Kathrein tries to paddle away, furiously trying to make it toward shore, where he sees some of his friends on the beach. But it is too late, as the great white returns, slams into him, then grabs his leg and pulls him underwater, thrashing him back and forth, trying to rip his leg off. How Kathrein is able to escape and make his way to shore, despite his horrific wounds, is nothing short of amazing. But that’s just the beginning, as he now faces months of physical and mental rehabilitation, all the while dealing with the constant media attention that the attack has generated. Gradually, with the help of his family and friends, Kathrein makes a recovery. Today, Kathrein gives lectures on shark conservation, as well as on such topics as avoiding shark attacks when you’re in the water. In this book, he not only writes of his ordeal, but also delves into shark behavior, and explains his desire to spread shark awareness. There is also an underlying theme of tremendous familial love and Kathrein’s extreme fervor for life.

This Victorian Life - Sarah A. Chrisman - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This Victorian Life - Sarah A. Chrisman - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Part memoir, part micro-history, this is an exploration of the present through the lens of the past. We all know that the best way to study a foreign language is to go to a country where it's spoken, but can the same immersion method be applied to history? How do interactions with antique objects influence perceptions of the modern world? From Victorian beauty regimes to nineteenth-century bicycles, custard recipes to taxidermy experiments, oil lamps to an ice box, Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman decided to explore nineteenth-century culture and technologies from the inside out. Even the deepest aspects of their lives became affected, and the more immersed they became in the late Victorian era, the more aware they grew of its legacies permeating the twenty-first century. Most of us have dreamed of time travel, but what if that dream could come true? Certain universal constants remain steady for all people regardless of time or place. No matter where, when, or who we are, humans share similar passions and fears, joys and triumphs. In her first book, Victorian Secrets, Chrisman recalled the first year she spent wearing a Victorian corset 24/7. In This Victorian Life, Chrisman picks up where Secrets left off and documents her complete shift into living as though she were in the nineteenth century.

The Missing Center - Noah Harris - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Missing Center - Noah Harris - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

21 Defining Political Speeches From Presidents and Political Figures That United America in Uncertain Times The Missing Center is a message from the younger generation, and reminds us that shared aspirations and goals have solved America's greatest challenges and are at the heart of our greatest accomplishments to come. In American politics today there is a critical problem: partisanship. While a two-party political system has been a hallmark of the American government since the founding of our democracy, the extreme partisan politics in the 21st century is new. In a quest to find a path forward, The Missing Center showcases the transformative results that can happen when leaders govern from the center to unite, inspire and solve complex problems. We do not need to go back to the days of the Founding Fathers and only have to look at the recent past to find ideas that put the American people first. By examining speeches from presidents and leaders of both parties, we see how governing from the middle is the model that yields the best outcomes. With defining political speeches from across the aisle, from notable presidents and politicians alike, The Missing Cente r sheds light on how governing from the center and coming to compromise is the most effective pathway forward. In addition to commentary and context by the author, this important book includes speeches by leaders across the aisle, including: - Joe Biden - Donald Trump - Barack Obama - George W. Bush - Hillary Clinton - Elizabeth Warren - And More ​ The author, Noah Harris, currently age sixteen, served as an intern for two years in the United States House of Representatives. At his age, this experience creates unique insight into the issues of the day, including how government is viewed by the next generation of voters and how to create a better future.

Good Life, Good Death - Derek Humphry - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Good Life, Good Death - Derek Humphry - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

For nearly four decades, Derek Humphry has blazed a trail for the right to die movement. He founded the Hemlock Society, pioneered Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act, and wrote the bestselling books Final Exit (more than one million copies sold, and a New York Times bestseller for eighteen weeks) and Jean’s Way (UK bestseller). But before his wife’s terminal illness ravaged his life, Humphry was a successful journalist. In Good Life, Good Death, readers will learn how the twists and turns of fate led him to his life’s purpose. In his poignant memoir, Derek tells of his broken family, his wartime experiences as a boy in England, and rising to the highest rungs of journalism on two continents. In 1975, he lived with crippling fear and sadness when his beloved wife, Jean, was diagnosed with cancer. As the disease gradually spread, they both decided that rather than let a terminal illness run its course through extreme physical and emotional pain, Jean would end her own life on her own terms, at an agreed upon time and manner, arranging her own last days. Readers will witness the personal pain and emotional distress they endured, as well as the legal repercussions Derek faced following her death. As Humphry writes, ?It would be far more preferable to legalize medically assisted suicide for terminally ill adults, for it is a tremendous strain and risk put on families.” To know why he has maintained this struggle for choice in dying, against powerful religious and political forces it is necessary to understand the whole man. In Good Life, Good Death, readers will appreciate the fight he has gone through so that others might consider the option of dying with dignity.

Older and Happier! - Dag Sebastian Ahlander - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Of today’s retired men, one third are reasonably happy, one third are dissatisfied, and one third have resigned themselves to their situation. After retiring, Dag Sebastian Ahlander, former Swedish consul general in New York, learned the importance of relishing every age?despite setbacks and illnesses?in order to acquire wisdom and perspective and gain greater satisfaction for the years that remain. Drawing on his own experiences, Mr. Ahlander penned Older and Happier!, offering 109 pieces of advice for making the change from Grumpy Old Man to Jolly Gent. Mr. Ahlander’s suggestions for a better retirement include:Don’t become a Micro Management Guru. Don’t try to reorganize your wife’s kitchen, where you have never done a thing during your active years. You don’t have to comment on everything. Life is supposed to be lived, not commented upon. Don’t downsize. Now is your chance to enjoy the home you have spent a lifetime acquiring and arranging. Steer clear of your adult children’s big problems. You’ll just lose sleep. But do help them with the small stuff?you have the time now for practicalities; they don’t. Smile and people will smile back at you. A red bow tie helps!Mr. Ahlander also deals elegantly with our stubborn issue of death and how to prepare for the last stretch on the road of life. Older and Happier! is both a thought-provoking call to transformation and a practical guide to making the simple changes that make your life that much happier.
