P.G. Wodehouse in His Own Words
by Barry Day Tony RingThis unorthodox biography of “the greatest comic writer ever” collects Wodehouse’s witty and revealing commentary on his own life story (Douglas Adams)As creator of memorable comic characters, including the immortal Jeeves and Wooster, P.G. Wodehouse was one of the most beloved and influential authors of the 20th century. This sparkling volume draws on Wodehouse’s autobiographical writings, as well as personal letters and interview transcripts to present the author’s life story as only he could tell it. Quotations from a literary career spanning more than seventy years are arranged in chapters that move from childhood to school years and on to various preoccupations of the grown man. A linking narrative—skillfully supplied by Wodehouse aficionado Barry Day and former President of the International Wodehouse society Tony Ring—ties all the material together. Full of Wodehouse’s scintillating wordplay and comedy, P.G. Wodehouse in His Own Words is essential reading for any Wodehouse fan.

He's set records and won the Norris Trophy, the highest honor in hockey for a defenseman. Often the center of controversy, he is the pride of many fans and a hero to young athletes of color. His stand against racism relies more on actions to support others than on relating his own experiences. He is known to have made the largest donation to charity by a Canadian athlete in history, and works to build an understanding between at-risk youth and law enforcement across North America.

by Kelly TrachDo you feel like you&’re doing it all and it&’s still not enough? Discover your shortcut to success in P.S. You&’re A Genius. After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I&’m good at? Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you&’re good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate. Having that &“it factor&” or &“special ingredient&” isn&’t as elusive as you may think. P.S. You&’re a Genius takes you on a self-reflective journey to find your own gifts (especially when you don&’t feel &“gifted&” at all), asking questions like: How are your idols a reflection of your own genius? What are you great at that nobody taught you how to do? How is your darkest shadow your greatest gift? What have you been unexpectedly criticized for? Through these questions and more, you&’ll uncover the ways you naturally excel, relinquish the lie that you&’re not &“good enough,&” and discover how to convincingly convey your value to anyone. In the process, you&’ll unlock the gumption to go after what you really want and ditch the mindset blocks holding you back—because YOU have an inherent genius. You just have to find it.
P.S. Your Not Listening
by Eleanor CraigNo school would take these children. Some were violent. Others were withdrawn. All were deeply disturbed. When Eleanor Craig took on the assignment to teach a class of special children who had been declared "unteachable" by others, she knew it wouldn't be easy. How do you teach long division to a child who believes that the banana in his lunchbox is alive and trying to escape? How do you maintain control when one of your students has locked you in the custodian's closet? How do you convince a child that people are not for hurting when he is constantly battered and rejected at home? During the year in which she taught a "transitional class" of acutely disturbed children, Eleanor Craig grappled with such problems each bewildering and exhausting day. P.S. Your Not Listening is the deeply-felt and often touching account of Mrs. Craig's attempts to reach her five exceptional pupils. Having no guidelines but her own empathy and resourcefulness, Mrs. Craig tries to reach the center of the children's chaotic world and to gain their trust. Gradually, she begins to establish human contact. Gradually, the children become more responsive. But the setbacks are many and the progress painfully slow. Eddie can only speak through aggression. Kevin's shoes tap out his anger. Violent fights flare up between Eddie and Douglas: Julie hides under her desk while Jonathan calls into his inkwell for help and Kevin urges Douglas to kill Eddie. Yet in the lulls between such destructive outbursts, Mrs. Craig perceives a real, if hesitant, sense of community emerging in the classroom. There are moments of celebration, as on the day that Jonathan, who believed he was a ghost and not a real boy, exclaims, "Doesn't it feel funny to wake up in the morning and say 'Who am I?' Doesn't it feel funny to wake up in the morning and be a human being?" P.S. Your Not Listening is ultimately not so much a book about education as a book about love.
PAI NAZISTA, FILHO JUDEU
by Lázaro Droznes Stefania BatistaA incrível história do filho de um herói de guerra alemão, que se converteu ao judaísmo e emigrou a Israel. Essa ficção dramática reflete a incrível história baseada em um caso verídico do filho de um oficial alemão da Wehrmacht condecorado por sua valentia na Segunda Guerra Mundial, que se converteu ao judaísmo, abandonou a Alemanha e foi a Israel para se converter em cidadão israelita. Sua participação na Guerra do Líbano e seu confronto com os palestinos o colocam na mesma encruzilhada a qual deve ter enfrentado seu pai 40 anos antes: Deve enfrentar o dilema de todo soldado: Todas as ordens são lícitas e todas deve ser obedecidas? Qual é o limite da obediência devida? A disciplina militar exime o combatente de seus deveres morais e éticos? Toda a responsabilidade pertence à máxima hierarquia de uma organização militar ou a responsabilidade é compartilhada pelos níveis intermediários? Esta história confirma o que os gregos já sabiam: ninguém pode evitar seu próprio destino. Não importa o que façamos, ele sempre nos encontra.
