Young journalist Simon Peckham is seeing the New Year in at a London nightclub when he first notices Soraya, the daughter of an Iraqi refugee. His evening isn’t going to plan, so he steps out to get some air and watches as paramedics attend to an old rough sleeper, Tom, in an alley close by. The next morning at the local hospital, Simon enquires after Tom’s condition and is surprised to meet Soraya, who tells him that 3 men had assaulted both her and Tom, and that a second rough sleeper came to their rescue.

Follow Judy's adventure, from being a child of six and meeting her first extraterrestrials, to the present-day encounters, many of which are a result of her training to become an ambassador to the universe.

Sheldon Nidle of the Planetary Activation Organization and Dr. Steven Greer, MD, founder of CSETI, are two of the selected teachers whom Judy has chosen to work with.

Working as a public school teacher for forty years teaching all grade levels and at NASA as an education consultant, along with her work as a doctor of clinical hypnotherapy, has given Judy the background and credibility that she needs to carry out her mission.

Book Description
The basis of this critical examination of Eliot’s work, first published in 1973, is the investigation of his transmutation of this and other philosophical, mythological and religious motives into the textures of his verse. This book focuses on Eliot’s peculiar eclectic approach to what he described as ‘the Tradition’. It also recognises the fact that Eliot, for all his attempts at universality, was a product of time and place, and gives an account of the way in which his education and experience shaped his most important interests. This title will be of interest to students of literature.

He was liberated at Mauthausen, and eventually emigrated to Australia. Pt. 2 (pp. 97-135) relates the impact of the Holocaust on the life of David Mittelberg.

This is what you will see as you are taken to the hot sands of Saudi Arabia, where Uncle Hadji lived on an oasis.

Book Description
"The American Dream is the fundamental story of this country, and my life is a grateful reflection of its reality." When Rosario was fourteen years old she moved from Mexico to California with no grasp of the English language and few resources. She has since become a trailblazer in every sense: from becoming the first in her family to graduate from college to having her signature appear on the U.S. dollar bill as the treasurer of the United States, and the first Latina in California to run for the U.S. Senate. Leading Between Two Worlds is the story of this incredible journey. Rosario exposes her most personal secrets and impressive achievements as she divulges what she has sacrificed and what she has gained in politics. She takes us through a deeply felt betrayal, her struggle through depression, the creation of her family, her devotion to advocating for the rights of people with disabilities, and her joyous return to Mexico. Rosario's story is the story of every immigrant who -- in the face of unbelievable adversity -- seeks to make it in the United States. Her journey is one of tragedy and triumph, one from which readers will draw inspiration.
