Meet the Donut Dollies, the Red Cross volunteers whose mission was simple: to bring a touch of home to American soldiers. Amidst the chaos of war, these college-educated volunteers offered a friendly face, a listening ear, medical attention and a momentary escape from the horrors of combat. But their service came at a cost, both during the war and in the decades to follow.

From dodging sniper fire to witnessing the devastating effects of Agent Orange, these women endured traumas that would forever change them. Their stories, long overshadowed by the experiences of male soldiers, are finally brought to light in this compelling narrative.

Award-winning historian Richard Sand reveals the untold stories of these unsung heroes, exploring their experiences, their sacrifices, and the lasting impact of their time in Vietnam. Drawing on firsthand accounts, personal letters, and historical research, Hidden History: The Donut Dollies in Vietnam paints a vivid portrait of these remarkable women and their vital role in supporting the troops.

The beautiful blue skies are filled with soft, billowing white clouds. The birds are chirping merrily as squirrels race from one tree to another, locating and gathering food for the long winter ahead. These and images like the pretty colors reflecting off a lake or dogs playing in the backyard often create feelings of warmth, joy, and happiness. Beauty is all around us, each moment of every day. Yet, people seldom notice it, or when they do, it is only for a brief moment. Instead, most are afraid, worrying how they will survive in a world perceived as insensitive to them. Why is this happening? The answer is found in Emotional Pollution: Always Present but Rarely Discussed.

Emotional pollution is the innate, environmental or combination of elements negatively affecting thoughts and actions. In most situations, when children and adults experience discomfort and pain, they emit emotional pollution to feel better. Those affected then exhibit similar types of behavior. This emotional pollution cycle is the reason why many, if not all, of the world's problems exist. Greg Ruediger suggests that change is possible if people become aware of how emotional pollution affects their life. If that were to happen, individuals would experience happiness more frequently. This increase in positive energy would result in a culture where human talent is identified and nurtured. Some of which might help to address the many complex issues related to extreme poverty, gun violence, inequality and a host of other societal concerns.

Inside these pages are forbidden hungers, intimate betrayals, and irresistible bargains struck in the shadows, where pleasure and peril are so tightly entwined they become one. Hearts race. Boundaries blur. Shame burns into want, and want into something far more reckless. Nothing is soft. Nothing is safe. And once desire is laced with leverage, there is no clean escape.

Dirty Little Bargains is sensual, decadent, and deliberately dangerous-a collection of short "blackmail" sex stories drawn to the exquisite edge where temptation turns merciless and surrender becomes its own kind of power.

Some fires are too beautiful not to burn in.

Step inside. Give in slowly. Some temptations are worth the fall.

Scottish Sojourners in the Dutch Empire in Asia

A historical study of the Scots who travelled to the Dutch East Indies to make their fortune.

Scotland's diaspora, reframed through the Dutch East Indies: the intertwined lives of Highland lairds, Islay farmers and metropolitan merchants who built fortunes, and families, on the island of Java.

A vivid group portrait of Scots who embedded themselves in the Dutch colonial world. Centering on the Batavia firm of Maclaine Watson & Co., G. Roger Knight draws on letters, newspapers, government and family archives to trace how sugar, trade and marriage created trans-imperial networks from Mull and Islay to Java, Singapore, the Low Countries and Australia. A fresh, unromantic, sharply observed study of Scottish ambition, mobility and identity across imperial bounds in the long-nineteenth century.

From masked balls in Batavia to deer-stalking on Mull, Kin, Kilts and Kolonie follows Scots who made their lives and livelihoods within another European empire. At its heart stands Maclaine Watson & Co., a Batavia merchant house linking Highland clans, Scots 'glocalisers', and trans-imperial merchants, in a web of kin, capital and commerce.

Through families such as the Maclaines, McNeills, Frasers and McLachlans, Knight charts the fortunes of sojourners - men and women who set out to return home richer, and largely did - leaving descendants and investments across Asia, Europe and the Antipodes. Blending intimate biography with incisive economic history, Knight shows how wealth, power and marriage shaped both the Dutch colony and the Scots who thrived within it. Erudite, humane and unsparing, Knight reveals how Scotland's imperial fortunes were forged far from home - and how their legacies endured long after the ships returned.
