From Arra Lynn Ross, a tender, generous, and generative extended poem centered on the experience of parenthood.

What is learned? Ill return for my son; / at school, at three thirty-eight, bells will ring & run / days over years. Using unpredictable syllabics, rhyme, and syntax, Day of the Child captures the sensation of altered time that accompanies a childs growth. Seasons come and go. A schoolboy becomes a dreaming infant becomes a five-year-old exploring metaphor for the first time becomes an ultrasound image, a frieze on screen. A mother cycles through her own often dissonant identities: soother, watcher, blame-taker. And both mother and child assume another, significant role: artistic collaborators.

For Day of the Child is a poem co-created by child and mother, offering a space in which eachs stories, thoughts, wordsunbound / by Time & times delineationstangle together. In which apartnessOh indivisible divisible, the presence of another heart beating inside the mothers own bodyis continually negotiated. And in which the mother considers her place as intermediary between the child and the world: her protection, her complicity, her joy. Its octave pairs ebb and flow, expand and contract, producing a portrait of raising another human as refracted as it is circular, just as a river breaks into many suns, the sun. For, as the child asserts, love is a circl[e] round / as a Ball.

Challenging the notion that parenthood is not itself a poetic endeavor, Day of the Child makes of childrearing a refrain I reframed each day with new words.

While Marta was on her way to visit her friend Emilia and Emilia's husband, Bence, at their villa-and to attend one of the most prestigious military balls inside the city of Budapest-all she could think about was going to America, if only she could figure out a way to get there. When she met the handsome and rugged Captain Bartholomew at her friend's dinner party, sparks flew as their eyes met and held. As her attraction to the captain grew, her plans to go to America were suddenly put aside; all she could think about was winning a handsome rogue's heart.

Jonathon Bartholomew was a captain in the Royal Imperial Hungarian Army, overseeing a squadron of soldiers on the Russian border. He was set to retire in a fortnight, after which, he would leave on a ship bound for America. Until that time, there was a threat of a Russian invasion that kept him and his soldiers on high alert. When he met the fair Marta at a dinner engagement, he knew in an instant that he wanted her. No woman had ever affected him so deeply. When she was taken captive by the Russians in a plot to undermine him, he went after her, only to be captured himself. Will they be rescued, or will their fate be left at the hands of Russian spies?

This book examines the rise of great power competition in space, including the relevant and practical space strategies for China, Russia, the United States, and other countries.

The work discusses the concepts and writings of past strategists, such as Thucydides, Sun Tzu, and Clausewitz, in relation to warfare initiated in or extending into space. This analysis underscores why polities initiate war based upon an assessment of fear, honor, and interest, and explains why this will also be true of war in space. Based upon the timeless strategic writings of the past, the book uncovers the strategy of space warfare, along with the concepts of deterrence, dissuasion, and the inherent right of self-defense, and outlines strategies for great, medium, and emerging space powers. Additionally, it highlights changes needed to space strategy based upon the Law of Armed Conflict, norms of behavior, and Rules of Engagement. The work also examines advancements and emerging trends in the commercial space sector, as well as what these changes mean for the implementation of a practical space strategy. Given the rise of great power competition in space, this work presents a space strategy based upon historical experience.

This book will be of much interest to students of space policy, strategic studies, and International Relations.

Build. Break. Adapt. Persevere.

Sometime in early 2014, Albinder Singh Dhindsa set out to build a better way to deliver groceries across India-driven by urgency and belief, and with no fallback plan. What followed was a crash course in navigating a complex social and economic landscape, rife with unreliable infrastructure and supply chains, the instability of a rapidly evolving gig economy, capital that arrived with its own risks, and pigeon poop problems in his warehouses.

With no playbook to rely on, Albinder wrote his own in real time: pivoting fast, making high-stakes bets and building systems where none existed. In doing so, he reshaped how Indians get what they need every day, at speeds that have redefined consumer expectations. Today, Blinkit processes over three million orders in over 200 Indian cities daily and has expanded far beyond groceries--delivering everything from everyday essentials to iPhones and ambulances in under 10 minutes.

Buildit cuts through start-up mythology to offer a rare look inside a founder's mind--at how decisions are made under pressure, how trade-offs are weighed and how companies are built when certainty is a luxury. Sharp, deeply grounded and informed by Albinder's hard-won view of India's business landscape, this is both a candid founder's story and an essential read for anyone trying to build and scale in an unpredictable market.

An aging American inventor, settled in the English countryside after the Great War, watches over his fragile younger daughter while keeping his estranged elder daughtera princess trapped in a ruinous marriageat arms length. When a steady, one-armed veteran asks for the younger womans hand, the old mans carefully maintained peace begins to crack, and buried grievances between father and daughters surface with devastating force.

In the companion novella, a very different household comes under scrutiny. A timid, self-effacing woman endures years of quiet domination by those around her, bending to every demand until the cumulative weight of small surrenders threatens to crush what little selfhood she has left. As pressure mounts from family and circumstance alike, she must decide whether the habit of submission is a shelteror a slow destruction.

Together these two novellas form a sharp-eyed study of power, weakness, and the hidden violence of family loyalty, written with the psychological acuity that would later make their author one of the most acclaimed British novelists of the twentieth century.

The brave individuals that were members of what is known today as the Corps of Discovery were true American heroes. Under the command of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, they forged a path through rough and difficult country that others were soon to follow. From the mountain man searching for more prime beaver pelts to the hundreds of wagon trains bringing families to the fertile lands in the far northwest, they all owe a debt of gratitude to the members of the expedition for blazing the trail.

This book contains a series of short stories that bring to light some of the happiness, the struggles, and the death that they encountered during their amazing journey.

Many of us have learned men don't show weakness. That real toughness is about keeping it all in, suppressing the feeling that might make you appear weak, hiding the feelings that'll leave you open or, God forbid, make you seem less masculine. You were probably reminded that you're the rock, the breadwinner, the man who doesn't or can't break. But somewhere in your heart, you know that's not sustainable. You've experienced the isolation of keeping everything locked up tight. The disconnection that arises from not being able to let go completely, to be who you are with no mask, no armor, or act. I know it is not an easy feat for men to do.

This is a book about breaking free from that mold. It's about choosing a new kind of strength that doesn't function behind doors of fear or shame but remains steadfast in vulnerability. It's about finally understanding that being honest with yourself and others, owning your emotions, and being clear about what you require from your relationships makes you vulnerable. It makes you human. It makes you real.

This is the second book in the Sophie Series. The first book is Sophie's Special Story. Sophie Said is a continuation of the original story. This book continues to show the special bond between an owner and her dog, Sophie. This unique storyline reveals Gabriella's magical birthday and how one wish changed their relationship forever!

Gabriella was visited by a birthday fairy and was granted the enchanted power of communicating with Sophie for one day by playing a game called Sophie Said. The purpose of this book was to creatively target speech and language goals through Sophie's experiences.

Throughout the story, while Gabriella and Sophie are playing the game, Gabriella is learning the importance of following directions. Additionally, this story has verbal and visual prompts so parents can use the prompts as a strategy when working with their children on following directions. Sophie Said also has opportunities to target other language goals such as answering WH questions, labeling common objects, increasing vocabulary through descriptions, expanding syntax, describing emotions/feelings, and sequencing and story retelling.

This publication is a powerful and helpful tool/material for speech language pathologists because they can use this one resource to target many goals; this will especially be beneficial for group speech therapy sessions. Sophie Said is an entertaining and diverse book that can be enjoyed by teachers, parents, specialists, and children alike!

Mania and Other Stories is a collection of short stories involving life as a sufferer of mental illness. It is a journey of self-discovery. Unlike other such journals, this is not a scientific regurgitation of bipolar disorder facts, but rather shares realistic day to day experiences. In the book, I accurately describe times spent in hospitals, nursing homes, and homelessness.

I try to capture life on the road and with acquaintances met along the way. There are a number of stories of romantic encounters both private and in facilities that form of being together in the confines of wards and in manic situations.

Living the life of mental illness can be isolating and discouraging. This book is meant to provide hope and positivity. Mania and Other Stories is about strength. Inner strength.

Many of these stories are universal. Together there is hope for the future. Mania is also about individuality and resilience. This book is meant to be a catalyst for other studies of bipolar disorder and homelessness. It is a worldwide epidemic and so little is understood.

In this nonfictional narrative, the author, Rudolf K. Braun, used the actual names of the participants, as most of them are deceased. The author gives small glimpses of his early childhood during and after WWII in Germany.

In 1951, his entire family, parents, and two siblings immigrated to Bolivia, South America. During the five years, 1951a1956, life became a struggle for sheer survival. During that time, he became acquainted with a well-known German expeditioner, Hannes Ertl.

The expeditioner hired the author to explore the depths of the Bolivian jungle in search of a lost Inca settlement called Paititi. They were to film and document this search for the German Broadcasting Company. During the 1960s, there were no drones or chain saws available to aid them in their search, only machetes.

The expedition took two years to complete, and the film was made and shown in Germany. During that time frame, they did discover steps and ruins by clearing a sheer wall of jungle growth with machetes.

In the evenings, to pass the time, the group of four would gather by the campfire, taking turns sharing their past experiences. Some of these flashbacks told stories about life during WWII.

The author, of course, fell in love with the young daughter of the leader, who was part of their team. Unfortunately, this love was not returned, as she had a completely different agenda on her mind.

After the expedition was finalized, the author's family received the papers to immigrate to the USA. All they can say is, God bless America!

In Memory Of

Logan James Zucker

2016-2016

Logan James Zucker, three days old, passed away on February 17, 2016. He was born on February 14, 2016, in Colorado, the son of Adam and Hannah (Davis) Zucker. He showed us true strength as he fought through two heart surgeries and made recoveries that the doctors couldn't explain. In the short time we knew Logan, he taught us more about love than we could have learned in a lifetime.

This is the beginning of Logan Zucker's obituary. While it is short, it is to the point and says everything. In the pages of these books, Logan gets to live his best life and share it with all of us. He reminds us what a blessing life is, especially the emotions and experiences that come with it.

Life with Logan is not always easy for him or his parents. His story shows that stress, struggles, fear, and doubt will be a part of any life. But most importantly, Logan reminds us that having faith and the love of others guides our way.
