Book Description
Written with much thought and clarity this autobiography conveys the author’s life and secrets revealed with boldness, courage and confidence. Scattered Memories is primarily geared towards women of all ages who live and have lived with challenges that are a part of life beginning from early childhood and thereon. It is a memoir that deftly strikes at the heart and soul with heartrending honesty of how close it can come to happiness without finding it. A difficult path – rough and barren at times. It is also a story of survival amidst the dreary days of an unforeseen future, a future with a past that brought with it the occasional smiles of joy while at the same time identifying “moments of darkness” with tears and fears associated with the isolation in a new country and the hardships that came with an intensity least expected. Treasured remembrances filled with pulsating femininity and logic of a young wife and mother who began a new life in Canada fifty-plus years ago with her husband and baby, whose life since then has also enriched her with many great blessings and unshakable faith and love for God.

Book Description
Published here for the first time, these fifty poems, explore his journey from young boy in Vietnam to being a leader in Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastic community. The early poems reflect childhood memories of war and destruction yet are also full of romantic and poetic imagery. His later poems convey a profound wisdom and spaciousness of heart. A Zen Master in his own right, he led a life committed to cultivating great compassion and liberation through inner discovery. Light in spirit, loving and wise, sometimes strict, and often humorous, these poems perfectly capture Giác Thanh’s clarity, wisdom, and kindness.

Book Description
The Butthole Surfers remain one of the most enigmatic bands in the history of rock music. Most of their records have no information of any kind, and often with the suggestion that you play them at 69 rpm.... They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s, and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of former band members in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they've attracted. Here for the first time is the complete story of one of the most controversial and dangerous bands to have emerged from the ashes of the punk rock movement. 'Let's Go to Hell' compiles the scattered memories into the first comprehensive overview of the band. Featuring exclusive interviews, tons of rare and unpublished photographs, and analysis of the band's vast recorded (and unrecorded) efforts, 'Let's Go to Hell' finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told...

Book Description
The Istrian Peninsula, which is made up of modern-day Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy suffered from the so-called "Istrian exodus" after the Second World War. This book looks at this difficult, silenced past and shifts the usual focus from migrants to those who stayed behind and to the new immigrants who came to the “emptied” towns.The research, based on individual memories, deals with silences and competing national discourses, reasons to stay and leave, hybrid border ethnic identities, and the renewal of Istrian society and its new social relations. It is a self-critical reflection on an ignored chapter of national history, which, with an empathetic approach, allows the silence to speak.
