Cavitt Izon Breeze was born with a relatively rare eye disorder called micropthalmia, which means he has been totally blind since birth. At the very beginning of his life family member started to lay the framework for him to one day become totally independent. This independence requires preparing his mind, body, and spirit to respond to each life's event with proper thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to ensure proper development of his physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and moralistic well-being. These areas of development are the main subject of this book. Each issue, experience, accomplishment, and failure shared by the blind people in this book are addressed to Cavitt, who is five years old, but are applicable to any child who is blind and entering the pathway to independence. The stories you will read in this book are about real people with one thing in common, blindness. Some, like little Cavitt they were blind from birth. Others became blind shortly after birth but do not remember ever seeing. They all have a message, "I did it my way, and here is my way." These unique people, who are blind, expressed their mental and emotional selves in a manner that illustrated the physical, psychological, intellectual, social, and moralistic situations in their lives. They showed a willingness to live a life to its fullest despite their handicap.

Book Description
First published in 1984, Death, Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England traces how and why the modern reaction to death has come about by examining English attitudes to death since the Middle Ages. In earlier centuries death was very much in the midst of life since it was not, as now, associated mainly with old age. War, plague and infant mortality gave it a very different aspect to its present one. The author shows in detail how modern concern with the individual has gradually alienated death from our society; the greater the emphasis on personal uniqueness, the more intense the anguish when an individual dies. Changes in attitudes to death are traced through alterations in funeral rituals, covering all sections of society from paupers to princes. This gracefully written book is a unique, scholarly and thorough treatment of the subject, providing both a sensitive insight into the feelings of people in early modern England and an explanation of the modern anxiety about death. The range and assurance of this book will commend it to historians and the interested general reader alike.

Book Description
As a mortician, Michael Baumann, a Jew pretending to be Aryan, devised a highly unorthodox surgical procedure that converted Jews to Aryans. This helped more than 400 Jews escape from Vienna to Switzerland. With five other Jews pretending to be Aryan, an elaborate escape and spy network was created. While most of the operations were successful there were some failures. Some died so that others could live. Carefully researched, the story blends fiction with factual history incorporating actual events and people. The novel creates a realistic portrayal of Jewish life and death before and during the Nazi takeover of Austria.
