The Hunt on the Tundra follows Dana in the late summer of 1974 as she strives to prove to herself that she can push the limits of what she knows and forge through the unknown that the BC tundra brings: a night alone in the wilderness, quicksand-like muskeg, bears and wolves, alcohol abuse, lies and even murder.In camp, she encounters relationships unlike any she's seen in the city - from her unpredictable but attractive boss, Jimmy, to the calm indigenous couple who share their journey of healing.On top of battling the unknown in nature that surrounds her, she battles her father's voice in her head that tells her she's just not good enough. Will the voice of her alcoholic father fade, or will she leave the tundra with more scars than she had when she arrived?

We determine who we will become by the choices we make. When he was eight months old, Paul was kidnapped from his mother whom he didn't see again until he was age 19. He grew up without parental nurturing or direction, finding his connectedness through athletics which became his ticket out of the inner city of Bridgeport, CT. When Mac was born, Paul chose to become the father he never had himself. When Mac went away to school, Paul sent him daily emails to encourage him to think clearly, to live with purpose and balance, thereby sustaining their relationship. This book records highlights from these emails starting with Mac's four years as a Cadet at the US Air Force Academy before returning ten years later, fulfilling his long-term goal of becoming an Air Officer Commanding for one of the 40 squadrons at the Air Force Academy. Paul's daily messages also coached Mac through his courtship, marriage and becoming a father himself, forging his life journey through the choices he made.

What happens when a boy is told to be a killer instead of being told he is loved?These sixteen poems began as reflections written for a video script - an attempt to understand, through a clinical lens, the patterns visible in one presidency. They became something else. Not a political argument. Not a diagnosis from a distance. A pattern analysis, the same kind a therapist builds when mapping the architecture of a wound across decades of behavior.The father who demanded dominance. The mother who disappeared. The brother who died rather than comply. The nephew whose child was told to die. The loyalty tests. The gold. The mirrors. The holy war. The morality that answers only to itself.Every evidence link in this work leads to a primary source. The companion living document, with over fifty clickable citations - is available at the-wound-that-became-a-presidency.vercel.app.This is not about one man. This is about what untreated wounds do when they scale.What wound are you governing from - and who is paying the price?

Read the larger-than-life true story of Carl Battie, labelled a criminal mastermind by the Federal DA in Dallas Texas. His life of crime spanned for more than 30 years.This isn't a glorification of a life of crime; it is the unflinching true story of the consequences of that life and the need to start all over again, at the age of 67. He was deported back to London, England on June 26, 2024, a country he had not seen in over 25 years, with nothing more than the clothes he was wearing and health issues that almost killed him.Carl had specialised in sophisticated financial crimes, bank fraud and real estate scams. His criminal enterprises were carried out in England, Spain, Germany and ending in America. The FBI launched a special Trask Force which finally arrested him at this home in Decatur Georgia on May 8th, 2014. Carl was incarcerated as a criminal mastermind, for Wire Fraud, Money Laundering and Real Estate Crimes. He severed just over ten years in some of America's most notorious prisons.

In the late twentieth century, many governments treated resource security as a question of fuel and shipping lanes. In the twenty-first century, the pressure point is often a laboratory-grade separation line, a qualification certificate, or a specialised factory that turns powders into magnets. Rare earths sit at the centre of this shift: not because the elements are mythically scarce, but because modern economies have organised themselves around a few fragile steps where disruption travels faster than policy can respond.Mineral Mandate argues that rare earths are best understood as a strategic supply problem, not a mining story. Following the chain from ore to oxides, metals, and components, Tarek Omraneh shows how supply chain bottlenecks form, why processing and magnet-making carry more leverage than reserves, and how states use export controls and other administrative tools to influence outcomes without open conflict. The book examines the political economy of low-margin yet high-importance industries, the role of industrial policy in sustaining capacity through price cycles, and the practical limits of substitution, thrift, and stockpiling when engineering timelines and standards regimes slow change.Written for students, general readers, and policy and industry analysts, the book offers a decision framework for strategic dependency mapping that goes beyond headlines. Readers will come away able to identify where vulnerability actually sits in a specific supply chain, which actors carry the incentives to invest (or not), and which resilience measures shift bargaining power rather than merely shift costs. The result is a clearer view of how material interdependence becomes leverage, and what it takes to build resilience without illusion.

In Purple Robe, Rev. Harry L. Seawright invites readers on a transformative journey that spans poverty, pain, and perseverance-culminating in a divine calling to the bishopric of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Through this soul-stirring memoir, Rev. Seawright bears witness to the unshakable sovereignty of God and the power of being chosen.From his early life as the last-born child of sharecroppers in rural South Carolina to the pulpit of one of the world's oldest Black Christian denominations, Seawright reveals the "slow start by faith" that shaped his destiny. With un¿inching honesty and spiritual wisdom, he recounts his struggles with poverty, loss, speech impediments, and near defeat-and how divine appointments and the intercession of faithful believers led him to academic achievement, pastoral leadership, and ultimately, the wearing of the Purple Robe as bishop.More than a personal testimony, Purple Robe is a roadmap for readers navigating hardship, uncertainty, and spiritual waiting. With every chapter, Seawright intertwines biblical insight with lived experience, demonstrating that the hand of God is not only active-but always on time.Whether you are a ministry leader, a believer in transition, or someone seeking deeper purpose, Purple Robe is a vivid reminder that God chooses the unlikely, exalts the humble, and ¿nishes what He starts. It's not just the story of a man. It's the story of a faithful God who turns pain into purpose, and calling into commission.

Born in the chaos of India's 1947 Partition and orphaned at twelve by his mother's death from cancer, Madhu Mehra grew up in the narrow lanes of Old Delhi's Chhipiwara, surrounded by temple bells, monkey-roofed peepal trees, and the quiet resilience of a displaced Hindu family.At twenty-one, clutching just thirty dollars and a one-way steamer ticket, he boarded the ageing SS Sirdhana in Bombay and sailed into the unknown. What followed was an extraordinary overland odyssey across the Middle East and into Cold War Europe: twelve days on a storm-tossed deck class passage, a near-miss with the Iran-Iraq border conflict, hitchhiking through war-torn Iraq, crossing the Syrian desert, surviving the Iron Curtain in Bulgaria, and finally reaching the bright lights of 1969 Munich.Along the way he slept in fields, shared cold beer with Iraqi soldiers, narrowly escaped a smuggling offer in Istanbul's Pudding Shop, played cards with Hungarian plane hijackers in a Munich prison on Christmas Day, and discovered both the dignity of menial labour and the first intoxicating taste of freedom and love.Written with vivid honesty and cinematic detail, Thirty Dollars and a Dream is more than a travel memoir. It is a profound coming-of-age story of loss and renewal, of a young artist searching for meaning after personal tragedy. From the ashes of Partition to the revolutionary spirit of late-1960s Europe, Mehra's journey reveals how surrendering to uncertainty can lead to unexpected beauty, unlikely friendships, and self-discovery.Book One ends as the author stands on the threshold of London, a city that will redefine his life in ways he could never have imagined. Rich with sensory detail, cultural insight, and hard-won wisdom, this is an inspiring true story for anyone who has ever dared to leave the familiar behind in pursuit of a larger life.Perfect for readers of Educated, The Alchemist, Wild, and classic travel memoirs like On the Road and The Motorcycle Diaries.

For years, Dan has been asking passers-by and fans in Berlin's Mauerpark for three words, which he uses to compose poems spontaneously. In Berlin, the street poet is famous and successful, but instead of resting on his laurels and blowing all the coins he earns, he sets off again into the world ... which, unfortunately, seems to be getting crazier all the time. While Dan tries to delight passers-by in Hamburg, Munich, Prague and Gibraltar with his verses, he struggles with what these mystifying people are doing to themselves and the world. This book is a unique mixture of life-inspired poetry, an autofictional travelogue, and, since all the world's a stage, a look behind the scenes.

The central theme is the struggle for spiritual survival in a modern, "nightmare" world. It explores the internal and external conflict between "light" (genuine human values, kindness, and divinity) and "darkness" (modern social decay, virtual platforms, and the "demons" of lust and deceit).

A book of still frames: short, precise moments in which something quietly changes direction.Written by visual artist Joanna Potepa, this collection moves through Spain, the UK, Poland and Portugal, gathering scenes from roads, homes, stairwells and everyday thresholds.A woman packs her life into a silver Mazda and drives the length of the Iberian Peninsula. Between the Spanish chapters, other stories surface - from Poland, from England - loosely attached, like still frames from a parallel life. A white peacock crosses a country road. A flamenco dancer sets the floor on fire. A plush giraffe refuses to help at a toll gate. A man dies at four in the morning while his favourite music keeps playing.Some are sharp. Some are absurd. Most are both.Blending text, observation and an artist's eye for structure, It Happened. Make of It What You Will is a book about attention, movement, memory and the small moments that alter the course of a life.No moral. No chronology. No instructions.
