145 days. 17 countries. 1 road trip. 40,000 km traveled. Many people met. Peaks of Europe is not a traditional landscape photography book. It's the result of a 5-month adventure across 17 countries told through the lens of a European travel photographer who took 29 years to finally explore the continent on which in he was born. The book has been designed for a specific purpose: telling the story of a 5-month road trip and what it takes to be living out of a car for several months, with all the good and bad moments. For this project, Johan Lolos wasn't just documenting the landscapes. This book features a series of photos with a focus on the storytelling as much as the imagery. At the end, the people he met were what he remembered most. More than 250 pages featuring 200+ photos, many of which are previously unpublished, take you through three major regions of Europe: the North, the Balkans and the Alps. From the Arctic island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago, to Greec...

During the spring of 1933, Stalin's police rounded up nearly one hundred thousand people as part of the Soviet regime's "cleansing" of Moscow and Leningrad and deported them to Siberia. Many of the victims were sent to labor camps, but ten thousand of them were dumped in a remote wasteland and left to fend for themselves. Cannibal Island reveals the shocking, grisly truth about their fate. These people were abandoned on the island of Nazino without food or shelter. Left there to starve and to die, they eventually began to eat each other. Nicolas Werth, a French historian of the Soviet era, reconstructs their gruesome final days using rare archival material from deep inside the Stalinist vaults. Werth skillfully weaves this episode into a broader story about the Soviet frenzy in the 1930s to purge society of all those deemed to be unfit. For Stalin, these undesirables included criminals, opponents of forced collectivization, vagabonds, gypsies, even entire groups in S...

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells--taken without her knowledge--became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first "immortal" human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they'd weigh more than 50 million metric tons--as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb's effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave. Now Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the "colored" ward of Johns Hopkins Hospita...

When you're a surgeon, the smallest mistake could result in someone losing their life. Gregory Fried, M.D., who became NYPD's executive chief surgeon in November 1996, after years of serving as deputy chief surgeon, knows this all too well. Responding to police officers being shot or seriously injured in the line of duty, however, brings the pressure to an even higher level--especially in the middle of one of the worst crime waves in New York City's history. Looking back at a career that began in the 1970s and continued beyond the September 11 terrorist attacks, Fried shares numerous stories of brave patients that battled life-threatening illnesses and injuries. He also recalls the out-of-control violence that spread throughout New York during his years of service. It was open season on police officers, and he gives readers an intimate look at the life of a police surgeon and what really happens when a police officer is shot in the line of duty. Fried also relives the nig...

Bram Stoker's peerless tale of desperate battle against a powerful, ancient vampire When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries in his client's castle.

This book focuses primarily on elementary to middle school transitions. This book was developed with a two-fold premise: one, that educators and parents understand the role they play in meeting the basic developmental needs of individual students during times of transition; and two, that school leaders understand how critically important it is for organizations to create structured transition processes to better ensure student success before, during and after transitions that supports the growth and development of students. This book includes authentic scenarios that are research-based to help combat the barriers associated with the transitional moves elementary students may experience. The goal is that school organizations and institutions will work collectively to strategically develop district-wide and inter-agency (high school and college) transition plans to help students with these critical periods.

If Mr. and Mrs. Smith had kids and wrote a parenting book, this is what you'd get: a practical guide for how to utilize key spy tactics to teach kids important life skills--from self-defense to effective communication to conflict resolution. --Working Mother Christina was a single, successful CIA analyst with a burgeoning career in espionage when she met fellow spy, Ryan, a hotshot field operative who turned her world upside down. They fell in love, married, and soon they were raising three children from his first marriage, and later, two more of their own. Christina knew right away that there was something special about the way Ryan was parenting his kids, although she had to admit their obsession with surviving end-of-world scenarios and their ability to do everything from archery to motorcycle riding initially gave her pause. More than that, Ryan's kids were much more security savvy than most adults she knew. She soon realized he was using his CIA training and field experie...

「生命因困苦而豐富，愛則因為必須努力而深刻。」「珍貴的並不是苦難本身，而是我們對苦難如同珍珠般的包容。」養兒育女，絕不是完美主義者的遊戲。西方有個諺語：「蘋果落地，離樹不遠」，也就是「有其父必有其子」。但事實卻是，世上有許多孩子都落到了別處，可能是幾座園子外，也可能落到世界的另一端，完全背離父母的預期和想像，而這些家庭也因此走入完全不同的人生。作者窮盡十年時間，針對三百個擁有異常孩子的家庭進行深入且多次的拜訪：聽力正常的父母生出聾人後代、芭蕾舞者生出侏儒女兒、華爾街寵兒生出唐氏症寶寶、異性戀父母生出同性戀、平庸的父母生出神童、慈愛的基督徒父母生出殺人犯，以及自閉症、殘障、跨性別、思覺失調（舊譯：精神分製），甚至因姦成孕生下的孩子……這本書就是探討這些掉到另一個世界的果實，他們作為與家庭成員及社會大眾都格格不入的差異分子，如何尋找自我的身分認同，同時也探討了為人父母的重大意義。這些離樹甚遠的果子與父母毫不相像，沒有從垂直的血緣遺傳到相同的外型、能力、智商、性向及價值觀，因此也無法從父母傳下的「垂直身分」獲得身分認同。他們必須從狀況相同的同伴間得到「水平身分」，才不致覺得自己是世上孤獨的異類。垂直身分是社會對他們的認知，水平身分是他們對自己的認知，而當這兩種身分認知出現巨大鴻溝，父母往往得用肉身造橋，才能橫渡這條深淵般的惡水。這些父母一開始大多無法接受這樣的孩子，也不確信自己是否能勝任父母的角色。在生與不生、親自養育與送養之間痛苦地掙扎，許多人憑藉著對孩子的情感，激發出內在無與倫比的想像力、創造力以及愛的能力，去為孩子爭取生存的空間，而且以一種有尊嚴、有意義的姿態存活下來，從而重新發現為人父母的重大意義。作者開宗明義提到：「從來就沒有複製這回事。」所有的生育都是一種製造，沒有子代會完全複製親代。在訪查過程中，他也見識了父母最深沉的絕望、瀕臨崩潰的邊緣。這些父母原先千方百計要避免這樣的處境，卻被迫拖入原先並不願意進入的世界，然而，最後他們卻對此滿心感激──這是本書最大的謎題。這些與眾不同的孩子會讓父母經歷痛苦的改變，但也讓父母更了解自己。孩子就像容器，裝著憤怒也裝著喜悅，甚至救贖。愛孩子，就會把實際存在的事物看得比想像中的事物還重要。他並未要求所有父母都得堅強樂觀地面對孩子帶來的挑戰，而是不帶偏見、平和地訴說這些家庭所經歷的艱難，並對父母在愛中的掙扎寬厚以待。作者並不頌揚...
