Starvin' Artist: Hunger for Success by Anthony Waldren (Aleah Jean Publishing, LLC) (39 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Finding success in this thing called "life" can be complicated. Sometimes we're driven by an insatiable hunger; other times, we drift in life aimlessly looking for purpose. Yet, what appears to be circumstances meant to bury us can become the foundation from which we grow. In life, we grow strong and resilient simply because of our courage to continue through seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This book is an example of what happens when perseverance becomes less of an admirable quality and more of a way of life. Starvin' Artist: Hunger for Success is a truly inspirational story of how poverty, violence, and drug abuse ran rampant in underserved minority communities and how those experiences shaped a young Black boy into a successful husband, father, and business owner. Anthony found peace and solace in art. Despite many challenges, Anthony used the adversity of his reality to fuel his hunger for success. Starvin' Artist: Hunger for Success is a reminder that everything -- every win, every conquest, every loss, every obstacle, every speed bump, every mistake, and every mishap -- can be a stepping stone to success. This book is a guide for taking life experiences (not only in Anthony's life but the lives of many others) and finding lessons in them and using those lessons to change the trajectory of your life.

1950s - A Decade of Serial Killers: The Most Evil Serial Killers of the 1950s (American Serial Killer Antology by Decade) by Jack Smith (107 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Discover the most wicked serial killers of the 1950s, one of the worst decades of true crime and heinous serial murderers America and the World have ever known. Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited Most of us remember the 1950s as a time that was more innocent and carefree -- but memories can often be deceiving. Although the fifties probably isn't the first that decade comes to mind when serial killers are mentioned, it had its fair share, including particularly ghoulish ones such as Edward Gein. One reason that the serial killers of the 1950s aren't better known is that many of them committed crimes that were simply too horrible for the news media of the day to touch with a ten-foot pole. Unlike today, when all manner of mayhem makes the front page and the nightly news, the fifties featured a high degree of censorship. The sordid story of Harvey Glatman, for example, who brutalized women and took obscene photos of them both before and after he killed them, just couldn't be told. But whether they were reported or not, these things happened, and this book uncovers some of the worst of them, revealing the terrible details of these almost forgotten serial killer cases.

Armchair mountain climbers, occasional adventurers on the glaciers, and all who enjoy a good story will appreciate this limited photo ePub edition of "The Heavenly Mountain" (a fully expanded print version with over 300 photos is available as well as a words only print edition). These stories, woven within these pages, have been a part of my life for half a century! They are the stories of the mountains, passed down through generations. The oldest tale I recall my father recounting with such vividness and delight is about a man who conquered Mt. Baker, only to descend the mountain looking backward between his legs. Even though I was too young to climb then, my father's storytelling transported me to that moment, making me feel like I was there. As you delve into the stories in these pages, I hope they transport you to the mountain, where you find yourself peering down into a crevasse, standing on the edge of a crater, captivated by a butterfly dancing on the breeze, and awestruck by the grandeur of God's creation. Frozen in time, these moments are the essence of our mountain adventures, and I can't wait for you to experience them.

Mike Tyson: The Boxing Legend Revealed by Cha Bowman (14 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Who is Mike Tyson? Love him or hate him, Mike Tyson is a legend. He propelled boxing to new heights during his reign as the heavy weight champ in the 1980's and early 1990's. Along with courting success inside the ring however, he courted just as much controversy outside of it. He was born into a poor family in one of the roughest sections of the Bronx, to an unstable mother and increasingly uncertain conditions. Mike Tyson was seemingly dealt a bad hand from the very beginning, and due to his short stature and his high pitched voice, he was the constant target of bullies. It was all the bullies, and other demons in his life that led Tyson to box. He then rose up through the boxing ranks like the ultimate gladiator, until he made it clear that this former target of bullies was not going to be bullied anymore! But like some tragic hero from antiquity, Tyson often proved to be his own Achilles heel, and his out of control behavior would be his own downfall. Sure, he was troubled. But he was also one of a kind. So much so, that we just keep right on asking the question; who is Mike Tyson?

Living Hell Stigma is an excellent choice for anyone interested in the topic of mental health. It could be the most affordable, entertaining and informative read for its price range. This book is for anyone that has suffered stigma from mental illness or physical disability. I know firsthand how deep those wounds can cut. In an effort to change the dialogue surrounding stigma from shame to understanding, I offer you the most candid, sometimes embarrassing aspects of my life in these opening chapters. While my story is a speck in the much larger mental health conversation, this book's later sections focus on specific mental illnesses and how we can challenge their broad negative historical stereotypes. Following a traumatic birth and subsequent mental minefield, I've seen the lows of total agoraphobia and asylum life mixed with the highs of working in media alongside professional athletes and actors. Perhaps my personal story can both entertain and inspire you. Perhaps the conversations found in segments two and three will resonate with you. This book is written in three parts. Segment one summarizes my experiences as a physically disabled and mentally ill individual. Segment two provides a comprehensive look into the disorders I've faced. Finally, segment three offers a detailed mental health conversation. Part three's topics include everything from the history and impact of mental health stigma, to healthcare shortages, to how our broken psychiatric care system strains us all. While this is a deep read, it also contains irreverent situational comedy and tips for maximizing yourself in any situation. Thank you so much for taking the journey to raise greater mental health awareness! Let's begin our conversation with my formative understanding of "normal" and "abnormal."

The Newborn King: How the Christ of Christmas is Still the Good News of Great Joy (Bible Character Adventures) by S.R. Buckel (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people -- and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior. In recent years, you have noticed a shocking failure on the part of pastors to bring forth this good news. The Incarnation. Angelic visitations. Kings and wise men seeking and worshipping the newborn Babe. God wrapped in human flesh! Everyone involved rejoicing exceedingly at the hearing of it! Of a truth, it is one of three Great Events of history. Yet today the church avoids it. Avoids celebrating and sharing His triumphant love, in coming to earth through a virgin's womb. This short work is an effort to rectify that failure. During the gladsome Advent season (and throughout the year!), let this be your Proper Christmas Sermon. It is a JOYFUL and TRIUMPHANT return to the glorious biblical account of the Christ of Christmas. The Lord has come! Let earth receive her King! You will cheer to hear again as in good days of old, that angels from the realms of Glory proclaim Messiah's birth!

I Remember When I Was Young (20th Century Memories Book 1) by Rob Horlock (9 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

'I Remember When I Was Young' is a 400 page collection of half a century of personal memories. Beginning in the 1920s and ending with the 1960s, each chapter contains stories and recollections from individuals throughout the UK and abroad. A wide range of personal memories from childhood, early adulthood and later life. Some recall humorous or emotional incidents unconnected with the world around them; others describe episodes that have a direct connection to the major events of the day. Written in a variety of styles, all recall a time very different to the present day and all who lived at that time will feel a sense of belonging and possibly a tinge of regret that this time has now passed. Younger readers may be astonished at some of the day to day activities that were taken for granted by their older relatives. Each chapter covers a decade and begins with an overview of the main historical events of the time. Important discoveries and 'firsts' are highlighted, together with notable anniversaries. The main focus, however, is not on well-documented historical events but on ordinary people's own personal reminiscences. Everyday stories, which will make the reader laugh, cry, ponder and remember. The memories from each decade paint a picture of life as it was lived by the individuals concerned. Some led similar lives. Some had very different experiences. All are real people sharing their memories with the rest of us. Each decade is distinctly different and the memories captured in this book show how values and lifestyles have changed - perhaps not always for the better... 'I Remember When I Was Young' is not a comprehensive view of life in earlier times. It is a series of snapshots of life as it was lived by ordinary (and in some cases, extraordinary) people. People like you and I.

First Blitz: The secret German plan to raze London to the ground in 1918 by Neil Hanson (22 Reviews)    Price verified 18 minutes ago

'Using first-hand witnesses plus government war records, Hanson draws a powerful picture of the impact of these first air raids' - Time Out Far from the killing fields of France, a little-known battle was fought in the skies over London that nearly altered the course of the First World War and with it, the history of humanity itself. The margin between survival and total destruction came down to less than one hour. In four years, the Luftwaffe's England squadron had moved from crude canvas-and-wire light aircraft to the four-engined giants as big as anything that flew in the Second World War. This, combined with the development of a revolutionary incendiary bomb, gave Germany the chance to raze London to the ground. It was a chance that they came within an inch of taking... Praise for First Blitz: 'The 1940s bombing raids over London have taken such a powerful grip upon our imagination that the existence of an earlier Blitz, in the First World War I, will come to many readers as a complete surprise. Yet as Neil Hanson demonstrates in this gripping and well-researched book, it was in many ways more terrifying' - Daily Mail 'Clearly and engagingly written, his book puts more academic historians to shame by discovering a big subject, investigating it thoroughly and drawing bold but far-reaching conclusions from it' - Sunday Telegraph Neil Hanson is the author of four acclaimed works of narrative history: The Custom of the Sea, The Dreadful Judgement, The Confident Hope of a Miracle and The Unknown Soldier.

Winston Churchill’s Great Escapes: The Story of the British Bulldog’s Death-Defying Life Before He Became Prime Minister by Charles River Editors (1 Review)    Price verified 18 minutes ago

Was he "the greatest human being ever to occupy 10 Downing Street," or a man whose "brilliant but unsound judgement resulted in detrimental consequences for Britain and for the world"? Decades after his death, debate still rages over Sir Winston Churchill's contribution to history, though all agree that it was profound no matter which way it's viewed. But now that wartime nostalgia has mostly washed away, the views of Churchill are more divergent than ever. On one point though, the biographers and historians remain unanimous: Churchill led an astonishing life as a soldier, world statesman, historian, and Nobel Prize Laureate. When he died at 90 in 1965, one of the most important figures in modern history had left the stage. From providing some of the 20th century's greatest soundbites to successfully navigating Great Britain to victory in World War II against great odds, Churchill was at the forefront of events for decades, becoming one of the most influential Britons in history. In 2002, he was named the Greatest Briton of All Time, and 40 years earlier he was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States. Churchill will forever be most associated with World War II, but his life was far more adventurous and complex than that, and these other aspects of the man are often overlooked and overshadowed. He came from an aristocratic family, but his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was not the firstborn son. That was important because the family estate was entailed, meaning the oldest son inherited the title of duke along with the land and the wealth. Thus, while Churchill grew up in Blenheim Palace, he did not inherit his family's wealth, and that is one reason he became a correspondent and negotiated high rates of pay: he needed the income. The family's aristocratic connections greatly facilitated his career, but it was his own courage, determination, and ability that led to his fame and historical importance, along with some phenomenal ...

Syd's Secret War: Part One by William Marshall (13 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

"Syd's Secret War" is "Part One" of a novel that is part fiction and part fact, it is however mainly fact, with many names and identities changed to protect those that may have been engaged in very similar events during "WW II". It revolves around the real-life story of an ordinary Northumbrian mineworker, taken "prisoner of war" finds himself embroiled in an extraordinary and extremely dangerous intelligence operation, setup to infiltrate "The Third Reich's" desperate plan to recruit allied soldiers from the allied POW camps of WW II. This was instigated by the Wehrmacht to create a corps of British soldiers to fight on Germany's side against the overwhelming onslaught of the Russian advance on the eastern front towards the closing stages of the war; had it been a success the propaganda gains alone for Germany would have been tremendous. The story brings focus upon the remarkable struggle, the enduring hardships, and the often unrecognized or even acknowledged sacrifice, that the soldiers of the "Expeditionary Force" made from the early stages of the war right through to its culmination, and more so for those that sacrificed their lives and their freedom to ensure the majority of the British Army were evacuated at Dunkirk. My thanks, respect, and admiration goes to Sydney Ryton without who's contribution, this story would have gone along with him to his grave.

Suspicious Plants At Walmart by Ron Bergeron (10 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

In April 2010 the European Grapevine Moth was discovered in the beautiful rift valley of Ukiah, California. The suspected source was produce trucks left overnight in infested areas of Hopland. At the same time, the powerful story you are about to read was unfolding. Ironically, I wrote this entire story ignorant of the fact that the infestation had already begun. During that summer I thought I witnessed violations of plant shipment quarantine and inspection requirements. These rules are in place to help slow the spread of non-native invasive fauna and flora. My story suggests the EGVM may have been brought into the Ukiah Valley through this preventable negligence. This true story is a record of the day to day events as I tried to navigate the maze of protocol and corporate bureaucracy to find answers to my questions. This has to be true, no one could make this story up. After you read this book you may never see Walmart or their Associates the same way again. I tried to describe people and events as precisely as I saw them, despite the fact that there is always a difference between what we see and what is actually real. Since laughter is perhaps the most important thing in my life, I saturated this book with as much humor as possible. Enjoy these samples from the book: "OH MY GOD!" An Associate at the next table wailed. "They cut my hours so much, my next paycheck won't be enough to cover my health insurance premium. I'll owe Walmart money for working." She held her face in her hands as the tears streamed out from between her fingers. I walked into the Outdoor Living Room to find birds pecking holes in the tops of the Ramen noodles and breakfast cereal boxes, again. Bird droppings are sprinkled all over the merchandise to be sold.

The 1940s - How Was It for You? Hundreds of Personal Memories of the 1940s (20th Century Memories Book 7) by Rob Horlock (10 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

'How Was It for You?' is an extensive collection of hundreds of people's personal memories from the unforgettable decade of the 1940s. Whilst many of these memories are of experiences in World War Two, a host of other events in the decade are also recalled. Serious, sad, emotional and humorous stories and anecdotes are all recounted in a variety of styles. A great gift for anyone who lived through these times or who has an interest in this era. If you lived through the 1940s, 'How Was It for You?' will certainly bring back many memories. If you can't recall the decade yourself, the book will give you an interesting snapshot of the life and times endured and enjoyed by your older friends and relatives. Researchers into the 1940s will find a host of 'personal views', the memories of real people recalling their lives at that time. The decade was, of course, dominated by World War Two, the world's bloodiest conflict. During the course of the war, 300,000 British servicemen and women were killed. Four million returned to 'civvy street' to pick up their lives. Many peoples' outlooks were changed forever and women, in particular, looked at the world through different eyes after the war. Rationing was in force throughout the 1940s. In spite of (or perhaps, because of) this, the general health of the average person was better after the war than it had been at the start of the decade. Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten in 1947; the wedding was a welcome break from post-war austerity and amongst the wedding presents was a gift from the Cabinet - all of their combined food coupons. After the war, the electorate chose a socialist government and Churchill was defeated in the election of 1945. People looked forward to a better life. The National Health Service was launched and Social Security was introduced. Working class children with ability were given the chance to improve themselves with the introduction of the 11+ exam, the gateway to a ...

The Presidents: and their motivations for seeking the office by Charles Henry Vessey (10 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

THE PRESIDENTS and Their Motivations for Seeking the Office is a microcosm of American political life viewed through the prism of the American Presidency. Why would anyone solicit an office where upon election, approximately 50% of your constituents oppose or dislike your agenda? Does the allure of power draw the largest egos to the most demanding job in the world? Is it the opportunity to impose their political will on the American people? Does the job represent the possibility to create a more just society or perhaps a utopia on earth? The founders were determined to create a meritocracy rather than the aristocracy that prevailed in Europe. They succeeded in spite of attempts by the temporary occupants of the Presidency to alter the American experience with transitory political theories. Join the journey to discover what motivated the occupants of the office and how they used their power to benefit the country, their party, and transform American society.

Grant The Forgotten Hero by Charles Henry Vessey (67 Reviews)    Price verified 18 minutes ago

"Castigated by some, immortalized by few and forgotten by most." Hardly a fitting tribute to one of America's greatest heroes. Grant The Forgotten Hero chronicles the story of Ulysses S. Grant during the American Civil War. Ask an American what they remember about Ulysses S. Grant and they will recall that he was a heavy drinker, not that he was the President, nor one of the world's greatest generals. An unusual legacy for the man most responsible for preserving this great nation. This book portrays Grant as an incredibly modest and humble man, perhaps the reason his true character failed to shine through. It tackles the old myths, head on, through logical analysis of the historical record and disproves most of the legend that has distorted his extraordinary military accomplishments. During the war, Grant captured three enemy armies intact and came within a whisker of capturing four, a feat unequalled in history and over so great a foe as Robert E. Lee. Ulysses S. Grant was one of America's greatest heroes, who sadly most Americans have forgotten.

Hard Graft: Our fight against killer blood by Mike Niles (6 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

At a time of no hope, drastic change required a brand-new belief system. To abandon hope of a miracle and put faith in a stranger. Blood is essential to life. But what happens when there's a glitch in the system? Up to the 1960s, a child diagnosed with a severe blood disease had only a 1-in-10 chance of living to adulthood. It was an almost certain death sentence. By the 1980s, a child with the exact same disorder had a 9-in-10 chance of survival. Hard Graft is a true story chronicled for the first-time. It explores the previously untold agony and resilience of Liz Bostic - a mother who refused to accept the deadly diagnosis facing her infant son, Simon. She started something momentous which, in partnership with others, transformed survival rates for people with blood diseases across the world. We learn how scientific world-firsts and fortunate medical discoveries led her family to the brink of salvation and how self-sabotage nearly forced everything to fall apart. 2023 is the 50th anniversary of the world's first successful non-related bone marrow transplant - that of Simon Bostic in April 1973. All these years later, however, the treatment faces a fresh crisis in the wake of COVID-19. With global volunteer donor registrations down dramatically, by an average of 60% since the pandemic, this story discovering the life-saving importance of bone marrow transplantation is as relevant now as ever.

The Queen's Queue by Laura O'Boyle (34 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

It was the queue to end all queues. The queue British people had been in training for their whole lives. A true British tradition. There were two types of people. Those in the queue and those watching the queue. It was 'The Queen's Queue'. As I snaked my way along the Southbank, I felt a sense of responsibility. I was representing all those that couldn't be there, past and present. Kay from the office, Sarah my sister with a bad back, my elderly parents. Not forgetting all those that had been part of the Queen's reign that had now passed. It was up to us, the great British public, to pay our respects. It was our duty on behalf of millions of people the world over. After all, the Queen had certainly paid her duty. It was time we paid ours.

The Narrative of Sojourner Truth by Sojourner Truth (1,554 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

From slavery to liberation to life as an abolitionist, feminist, orator, and preacher -- the autobiography of a woman who refused to be anything but free. Born into slavery in New York around 1797, then sold from master to master, Sojourner Truth spent her formative years witnessing the cruelty inherent in the institution of slavery. Escaping to a friendly household before emancipation, she learned that her young son had been sold illegally and launched a lawsuit that would end with his release -- the first time in America that a black woman went to court against a white man and won. But Truth hadn't even begun her work. She made it her life's mission to free all those who were considered less than equal -- both those in chains and those held down because of their gender -- ultimately inspiring her friends and followers with the legendary speech that came to be known as "Ain't I a Woman?" So great was Truth's renown and respect that she met with President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. She was later named one of the 100 Most Significant Americans of All Time by Smithsonian magazine. Published in 1850, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth was spoken aloud to Truth's friend and neighbor Olive Gilbert, as she herself was illiterate. Along with The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, it remains one of the most moving and eloquent slave narratives -- a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
