简介:Fred Gross knew much about the history of the Holocaust, but he didn t know his own, being a young Jewish child during those terrible years. In the late 1980s, he asked his mother to tell him the story of his family s flight from the German invasion of Belgium and the Nazi policies that would become the Holocaust. Later, his two older brothers a... more 籨ded their memories. But this story is not simply an account of the years spent one step ahead of Hitler. It is about a little boy then grown man coming to know his own story and realizing the tenuousness of memory. Most of the Grosses flight takes place in France during its defeat and collaboration with the Nazis, rounding up more than 75,000 Jews for deportation to the death camps. Gross and his family made it through these anguished years because of their fortitude and ingenuity and the help of brave men and women of other faiths, reverently referred to as The Righteous Among the Nations, who risked their lives standing up to their collaborationist government. One Step Ahead of Hitler is a story of survival told in words and in photographs of a journey beginning in Antwerp and ending with his freedom in America. It is an important memoir, David P. Gushee, Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University and author of Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust, writes in the foreword. Some of the most shameful moments of German, French, Swiss and human history are recorded here, not for the first time, but in a deeply personal way by someone who experienced their effects as a small child. ?less
简介:Publisher description: The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader is the biggest and most comprehensive multi-disciplinary anthology of critical work in lesbian/gay studies. Comprising scholarship, criticism, commentary, and political analysis, lesbian/gay studies is one of the fastest growing fields in contemporary thought. Its influence is changing the shape of every branch of learning in the humanities and social sciences. Bringing together forty-two groundbreaking essays--many of them already classics--this collection provides a much-needed introduction to the contemporary state of lesbian/gay studies, extensively illustrating the range, scope, diversity, appeal, and power of the work currently being done in the field. Featuring essays by such prominent scholars as Judith Butler, John D'Emilio, Kobena Mercer, Adrienne Rich, Gayle Rubin, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader explores a multitude of sexual, ethnic, racial, and socio-economic experiences. Ranging across disciplines including history, literature, critical theory, cultural studies, African American studies, ethnic studies, sociology, anthropology, psychology, classics, and philosophy, this anthology traces the inscription of sexual meanings in all forms of cultural expression. Representing the best and most significant English language work in the field, The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader addresses topics such as butch-fem roles, the cultural construction of gender, lesbian separatism, feminist theory, AIDS, safe-sex education, colonialism, S/M, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, children's books, black nationalism, popular films, Susan Sontag, the closet, homophobia, Freud, Sappho, the media, the hijras of India, Robert Mapplethorpe, and the politics of representation. It also contains an extensive bibliographical essay which will provide readers with an invaluable guide to further reading. In the tradition of Routledge's Cultural Studies and Unequal Sisters, The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader marks a critical moment in the development of the field. It will be essential reading for anyone--gay or straight--interested in the history of sexuality, sexual politics, and gender studies.
简介:The smoky scent of the past lingers in this confident second novel, set on Washington''s Olympic Peninsula and infused with the deep-forest spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Returning to the logging town of Misp after her failed marriage, 30ish Jessica Moran, the daughter of a mill owner, starts a window-cleaning company and devotes herself to her brother Jonah, a gentle misfit afflicted with Asperger''s syndrome (an disease like autism) and obsessed with the Civil War. If it weren''t for Jonah, Jessica might never communicate with her formidable mother, Lila, who is now head of the family business, since she is convinced that Lila was responsible for Jessica''s father''s death by drowning nearly 20 years before. Only after a fire consumes Misp''s new halfway house for Seattle convicts, leaving evidence of Jonah''s presence at the scene, is the smoldering legacy of that long-ago summer fully reawakened. The investigator for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is none other than Quinault Indian lawyer Callum Luke, Jessica''s childhood sweetheart, and as Jessica and Callum look for the cause of the fire, they revisit the fraught period after Jessica''s father''s death and the sudden ending of their relationship. Their fears, the town''s bigotry, the truths they did not wish to face are all aired as the current crime is solved. Reynolds (The Starlite Drive-in) once again proves herself a sure-handed storyteller, alternating Jessica''s coming-of-age memories with the criminal investigation and unraveling the Moran family''s painful history in deft measures. But her prose really soars when she describes the timberlandAa tent in the woods, the bottom of an overgrown lake, a drive over remote roads during a stormAcapturing the almost magical spiritual connection between people and the land. Agent, Angela Rinaldi. Regional author tour. (Nov.) 作者简介: MARJORIE REYNOLDS is the author of The Starlite Drive-in A former newspaper reporter and movie advertising executive,she lives with her husband and som on Mercer Island,Washington.

简介: Book Description The New York Times bestselling author of The Millionaires and The First Counsel returns to Wash-ington, D.C., with the story of an insider's game that turns deadly.Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler are best friends who have plum jobs as senior staffers to well-respected congressmen. But after a decade in Washington, idealism has faded to disillusionment, and they're bored. Then one of them finds out about the clandestine Zero Game. It starts out as good fun--a simple wager between friends. But when someone close to them ends up dead, Harris and Matthew realize the game is far more sinister than they ever imagined--and that they're about to be the game's next victims. On the run, they turn to the only person they can trust: a 16-year-old Senate page who can move around the Capitol undetected. As a ruthless killer creeps closer, this idealistic page not only holds the key to saving their lives, but is also determined to redeem them in the process. Come play The Zero Game--you can bet your life on it. From Publishers Weekly Meltzer credits 143 people in his acknowledgments, a testament to massive research involving everything from the smallest details of our government's inner workings to the scientific complexities of chaos theory and advanced neutrino research. He's far too seasoned a pro (The Tenth Justice; The Millionaires) to ever let readers bog down in minutiae, though, using his impressive background material as rocket fuel for this rip-roaring novel of government intrigue. Best friends Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler have worked for years as professional Capitol Hill staffers. With boredom and burnout threatening, they've joined a secret group of other like-minded workers to play the Zero Game, which uses congressional voting and government administrative procedure as the basis for placing bets. "We don't change the laws, or pass bad legislation, or stroke our evil goatees and overthrow democracy as we know it. We play at the margins; where it's safe-and where it's fun." The two decide to bet their life savings when a seemingly innocent appropriations item, the sale of an abandoned South Dakota gold mine, becomes part of the game. Because of his senior position as an appropriations committee staffer, Matthew is sure he has a lock on this one. Things go horribly wrong, and soon Harris and Viv Parker, a young Senate page, are on the run, fleeing from hired killer Martin Janos. Their flight takes them to the abandoned gold mine, where they find more mystery and near death 8,000 feet below the surface of the earth. Janos, their nemesis, is relentless, as is the action, and readers will be left breathless. From Booklist When Matthew Mercer confides to his best friend, Harris Sandler, that he's thinking of leaving his cushy job as a senior staffer on Capitol Hill, Harris convinces him to stay by inviting him to play the Zero Game, an anonymous wagering game where you bet on the likelihood of some piece of legislation passing. It's a silly game, but the stakes are minimal, so Matthew joins in, enjoying the diversion and finding the anonymity intriguing. The bet in front of them now is a gimme, especially since Matthew can control its outcome, so the pair decides to up the ante and go for broke. Trouble is, there's another bidder out there (Who else could have such an interest?), and both Matthew and Harris sense that this bet just might be their last. They've learned the hard way that there's no one they can trust and have no choice but to find out who's behind the now-murderous game. Coming to their aid is an unlikely savior, a teenage Senate page who can duck in and out of private offices without raising suspicion. Packed with plenty of backroom D.C. ambience and lots of action, the novel also boasts improved plotting and character development since Meltzer's last high-concept best-seller, The Millionaires (2001). Mary Frances Wilkens From AudioFile In Brad Meltzer's new bestseller, wanna-be Washington power brokers devise a game in which staffers bet on which bills will become law and where money will be spent. But the game turns deadly as its players become pawns, with the fate of the hero and the world resting in the hands of a teenaged intern. Audie Award winner Scott Brick delivers another stellar performance, at times easing up on the gas, and then putting thepedal to the floor at just the right instant. The climactic battle is one of the best written and performed in years. The Zero Game equals time well spent. R.O. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award Book Dimension : length: (cm)16.8 width:(cm)10.6

简介:With aplomb, style and sharp compassion for her "clients" Coop again unravels the truth behind murder in partnership with homicide detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace. The victim is Deni Caxton, third wife to the heir of a steel baron and a leading New York art dealer in her own right. As Coop, Chapman and Mercer investigate her brutal killing they strip away the elegant and refined fa莽ade of her marriage and the international art world to reveal a tangle of cut-throat business dealings, over blown egos and distorted passions. They find that the rich have the same motives for murder as the poorest killer - money, revenge, love and hate - and they rapidly discover that a veneer of artistic 'civilisation' doesn't prevent the use of blackmail or violence, not even when officers of the law stand in the way.
简介:Right Leadership has been written to focus on what the author believes should be the ultimate objective of all leaders, to become invisible. The purpose of leadership is to support the development of all people that leaders touch or influence in such a way as to ensure alignment between personal values and goals and those of the company or organization. When this alignment is optimized, results are maximized for all stakeholders - customers, shareholders and employees. They are also optimized for family and community (both local and global). Harry Stewart Mercer takes a somewhat lighthearted but insightful approach to the various aspects of leadership to convey what he believes are the key areas of focus for leaders at all levels of an organization. He believes that we all can be leaders in some aspect of our lives. He believes that the leadership model should be turned on its head so we focus more on service to our customers and inspiring our people rather than our image and keeping the boss happy. That will happen anyway if leaders inspire others and fade into the background. By becoming invisible, a leader has effectively developed his or her team to be self-sustaining in a high performance culture environment. This frees the leader to take on new challenges on a broader stage. In this sense they effectively become invisible. This does not mean they disappear. They become invisible heroes!

How to train your Dragon Book 2 How to Be a Pirate驯龙高手2
简介:Grade 4-6–The sequel to How to Train Your Dragon (Little, Brown, 2004) continues the adventures of the son of Stoick the Vast and future leader of the Hairy Hooligan Viking tribe. Although the skinny, freckled Hiccup has more brains than the rest of the Hairy Hooligans put together, he has a hard time garnering respect from anyone, least of all his arch-rival, Snotlout. It doesn't help that Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, is predisposed to hypochondria and cowardice. During a pirate-training session, them meet up with charming "Alvin the Poor-But-Honest-Farmer," who is keen to help them discover the legendary treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly. After a series of hair-raising, humorous escapades on the high seas, a deadly island, and an undersea cavern, Hiccup learns some surprising things about his previously undervalued abilities. The usual motifs of deceptive appearances, last-minute escapes, and the merits of inner worth are addressed with humor that is accessible to both reluctant and avid readers. Cheeky drawings in the style of grade-school doodles add to the general appeal of the tale.–Farida S.
