Wingo was a draft cross horse who was the best horse ever. He was such a character. If Wingo could talk, he would have told stories about the horses at the barn, the workers, and the riders. He knew where all the horses should be at all times. He was the big brother of all the horses. He knew as soon as I pulled up in my car to the barn, he would come galloping to the fence and give me a huge neigh.

I decided to write a book about this gentle giant to give children a view of how horses can be best friends with their owners and riders.

God's Open Doors: My Journey is about providing a safe and nurturing environment for children that promotes academic achievement. It cites additional historical information to teach our children there is hope if you believe. God will always make a way somehow, and we need to prepare for the next century, which belongs to the children.

A collection of traditional eighteenth and nineteenth century weaving drafts, written sequences of the threading order on the loom used to create specific patterns. They are presented here in their original form as gathered by Frances L. Goodrich and illustrated in over 160 color photos. This volume also contains over 200 valuable modern translations of the same drafts for use by today's weavers. In 1890, Frances L. Goodrich came to the southern mountains in North Carolina from a life of culture to live and work among people who had little opportunity for education or social enrichment. Through her work for the Presbyterian Home Mission Board, she grew to love and respect these neighbors who worked so hard and had so little. She established schools, a small hospital, and the Allanstand Cottage Industries. As she traveled the mountain roads and trails on horseback, Miss Goodrich collected these precious weaving drafts from the women who wove for Allanstand Cottage Industries. In your hands is the heart of that collection.

Some say he was Australia's Martin Luther King. William Cooper saw his Aboriginal people dying around him and decided black lives matter. Starvation and discrimination took their toll. He became passionate that they should have a voice in Australia's federal parliament.

But his people could not vote and were not even counted in the census. How could he get the government to listen to him? Would his skills in oratory, letter-writing and organizing his people into the first national black organization achieve his goals or would his activism bring backlash?

Betrayed by the Prime Minister who would not forward his petition to the King of England, Cooper joined with other leaders in Sydney for the 150th anniversary of white settlement and organized a protest called the Day of Mourning. This set in train the controversy that still surrounds Australia Day today. Cooper campaigned for the truth of the black history of white Australia to be told. He mentored future generations of leaders who are still calling for voice, treaty, truth today. This book covers the history of the struggle for First Nations peoples' human rights from settlement to today.

William Cooper was born in 1860 to his tribal mother who saw the first white settlers come to the Murray River. He lost his son Dan in World War 1. Cooper was anguished that Aboriginal soldiers gave their lives for a country that had stolen their land and dignity. He campaigned for a new deal but was it a pipe dream?

Cooper's health was failing but he had lit a fire that would not be put out. One of those who picked up the baton was his grandson, Alf Turner or Uncle Boydie. Could Uncle Boydie unearth the petition Cooper meant for the King in the 1930's and find a way to get it to the King's granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth 11? Poetic justice but a near-impossible task.

If I Survive. This thought haunted Lena. Her loved ones were cruelly forced from her arms in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland and perished in Treblinka Death Camp. This is a true story of Holocaust survival. In ww2 books, it is a searing story of human rights abuses and genocide.

The story of Nazi Germany and the Jews is a story of anti-Semitism, Nazi concentration camps, gas chambers and World War 11 (wwii). The Warsaw ghetto where the Nazis had imprisoned the Jews was being emptied as Hitler's Final Solution to murder all of European Jewry was put into action. Lena kept thinking, It's my turn next. As some Jews escaped Treblinka and exposed it as being a death camp not a labour camp, young men and women in the ghetto decided to make a stand.

Lena helped in the resistance which became the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising by gathering light bulbs from empty houses which could be used for Molotov cocktails. By a miracle, she escaped the ghetto before it became an inferno. But where could she hide? When it was over and she could walk free, the tears she had held back flooded out because she was all alone and there was no one to care that she had survived and no one to go to.

Author Barbara Miller adds to Holocaust history and ww2 German history by skilfully weaving her research with Lena's diary and interviews to bring her ww2 biography to life. Lena helped her companions in hiding to survive with her humour and compassion. She turned 100 in January 2019 and her miraculous story of survival against the odds will inspire you to not give up no matter how dark the time or difficult the situation or cruel the people around you.

What are others saying about this remarkable book?

This is a compelling, indeed exemplary work, that merges the history of the Holocaust with the live story of one survivor: Lena Goldstein, aged 100, one of the last living witnesses to the horrors of the Holocaust.

Konrad Kwiet, Emeritus Professor and Resident Historian Sydney Jewish Museum

This is a truly beautiful collaboration between the author and her subject, who have together produced an invaluable documentation of a unique, moving, life story set against the backdrop of one of the darkest moments in human history. To read If I Survive is to meet a remarkable person and to be touched by her intense humanity in an inhuman world.

In 1992 the massive files of East Germany's infamous Ministry for State Security, the Stasi, were made publicly available and thousands of former East Germans began to confront their contents. Finally it was possible for ordinary citizens to ascertain who had worked for the Stasi, either on a full-time basis or as an unofficial employee, the Stasi's term for an informer. The revelations from these documents sparked feuds old and new among a population already struggling through enormous social and political upheaval. Drawing upon the Stasi files and upon interviews with one-time informers, this book examines the impact of the Stasi legacy in united Germany.

Barbara Miller examines such aspects of the informer's experience as: the recruitment procedure; daily life and work; motivation and justification. She goes on to consider the dealings of politicians and the courts with the Stasi and its employees. Her analysis then turns to the way in which this aspect of recent German history has been remembered, and the phenomenal impact of the opening of the files on such perceptions of the past.

The Stasi Files Unveiled: Guilt and Compliance in a Unified Germany offers important new perspectives on the nature of individual and collective memory and is a fascinating investigation of modern German society.

Barbara Miller graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1991 with a degree in German and psychology. She taught and researched in Germany and Austria before completing her doctoral thesis in Glasgow in 1997. She is now based in Sydney, Australia.

Did the deep north of Australia experience racism, discrimination and segregation? Yes. But it was different from the deep south of the USA. A system similar to South African apartheid existed on Aboriginal reserves like Yarrabah in Queensland till as recently as 1984. This book is unique in that Australian Aborigines themselves tell their story of living under legal discrimination on reserves and discusses their aspirations for self-determination, local government, human rights and land rights with a view to end racism.

Human rights abuses of the law they lived under are discussed in detail as well as government policy that promoted racial discrimination. Race relations Aussie style is examined. The book is a political history of race relations from contact till now between white and black Australia and puts Yarrabah in a national context of the treatment of Australian Aborigines.

Despite past racism and racial discrimination and some lingering examples of this in government policy and society's attitudes, Yarrabah today is a thriving community run by an Aboriginal Council. It still has some of the hallmarks of a disadvantaged population like lack of housing and health issues.

Yarrabah is no longer a reserve in northern Australia. It is still a discrete community but its residents do not experience segregation and can come and go freely and have the same human rights as other Australians. This is not to say that institutional racism has gone from Australian culture. For those interested in politics and government and public affairs policy in relation to ethnic studies or minority studies, this is the book to read. History buffs and legal eagles will find it fascinating. The author has a long term and close association with Yarrabah and Australian Aborigines in general.

Editorial Reviews

This is an excellent coverage of the milestones in the contemporary historical coverage of our Indigenous Queenslander's struggle for Land Rights and freedom from the autocratic control of Government. It is works such as this that clearly identify the oppressive control and heinous actions of the Department of Aboriginal and Islander Advancement. The hypocrisy of including 'Advancement' in their name, when they did the exact opposite, only underlines the Machiavellian treatment of Queensland's First Nation people. Miller has clearly and effectively covered the momentous changes that have been wrought. Only someone who has lived and worked with these trials and tribulations could explain the events so well. This is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to understanding the hard-fought steps that our Indigenous people have had to overcome, and it's not over-but now there is room for hope

Dr Timothy Bottoms, historian, author of Conspiracy of Silence and a History of Cairns, City of the South Pacific 1770-1995

It is entirely appropriate that Barbara Miller is the one to write an update on Yarrabah's efforts at self-determination and land rights, as she does not just stand on the sideline and cheer us on. She often jumps into the fray herself. No doubt many people who were or still are involved in some degree in the push for Aboriginal social justice and human rights and all that that encompasses, plus interested persons, will be attracted to Barbara Miller's latest case study. This book gives a succinct report of how things have turned out in the last thirty years. She has ably teased out the many strands of human rights issues that reveal the many flash points that happened as Aboriginal people and friends contended with, and still contend with the 'hydra-like monster'. Her reporting skills and love for Aboriginal people are recognised by friend and foe alike, with her work being quoted by such bodies as the Human Rights Commission.

This collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century weaving drafts from the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia includes 112 overshot drafts and drawdowns, and 31 drafts and drawdowns for the all-white summertime cotton bedspreads called counterpanes. Color photos of the original samples are shown side by side with valuable modern translations of the drafts, which enable today's weavers to make them. A vibrant example of our weaving heritage, these drafts were originally gathered in the nine states of the Southern Highlands region between 1892 and 1918 by the legendary Frances L. Goodrich. Handwoven counterpanes and coverlets were important possessions, and often were the only items of beauty in the women's otherwise impoverished living conditions. These are drafts Goodrich carefully collected but did not include in her classic Brown Book. Dozens of vintage photographs of Goodrich, the communities she served, and the women who invented the drafts help bring this part of our American craft heritage to life.

This book covers a century of history for the little known Samos neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona that evolved into a thriving middle-class community during Tucson's post World War II boom. The neighborhood is located mid-town in the University of Arizona area, north of Grant Road between Campbell and Mountain Avenues and Glenn Street. Its architecture reflects a time when building was individual rather than standardized like it is today. Neighborhood developers, builders and architects led the way in Tucson's building industry. These leaders included Harold Aston, William Estes, Sr., John Joynt, Josias Joesler, John Murphey, Roy Place, Anne Rysdale, Albert Steinfeld, and William Wilde. The neighborhood name, Samos, was chosen in recognition of Chris Mitchell, one of its developers and builders who immigrated from the Isle of Samos, Greece. Mitchell lived and worked in the neighborhood for many years. His first house, a Mediterranean Revival built in 1929, is the photograph on the cover of this book. Additionally, many Samos neighborhood homeowners during that era actively contributed to the growth and development of Tucson. Their accomplishments are acknowledged in this book. Research also revealed a unique mix of minority racial, ethnic and religious diversity of neighborhood homeowners at a time when segregation was widespread in Tucson and throughout the nation. Today, Samos continues to be an active, middle class neighborhood, represented by Ward 3 of the City of Tucson and District 3 of Pima County. In addition to its 400 residential houses, the neighborhood is home to Salpointe High School, many small businesses along Campbell Avenue - including three original post-war businesses - Catalina Acute Care and Rehabilitation, and a popular 1930s bed and breakfast. All proceeds from the sale of this book will contribute to the financial support of the Neighborhood Association which is committed to neighborhood beautification, conservation, non-profit fundraising, and community-building with neighborhood residents, business owners and educators, other neighborhood coalitions, and local governments.

Learning to identify birds when you are very young can develop into a pleasurable lifelong hobby. i love Birds is a book of colorful birds with brief descriptions for toddlers for identifying birds and encouraging their interest in them. What is that bird, Grammy? On a cold and sunny winter day while babysitting my grandchildren, we watched birds flocking to feeders in the yard. I identified the birds for them, and they were so interested that they brought two little stools to the window to sit on while we watched and discussed the hungry birds. That experience gave me the idea for a bird book of their very own. The Name the Birds pages at the end of the book with pictures of all the birds in the book can be used as a game with children.
