Astonishingly more key evidence is accessible today than was presented at the death penalty trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the kidnap/murder of Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Viewing documents and photos that the jury never saw and forensic analysis never before published, you get to judge for yourself who committed the crime of the century. Experts and enthusiasts alike are calling award-winning author Lise Pearlman's shocking new expos on the Lindbergh kidnapping:

MYTH-SMASHING, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, POWERFULLY ARGUED -- Lloyd Gardner

SHOCKING...WELL-DOCUMENTED...HIGHLY PLAUSIBLE. -- Dr. William M. Bass

EXPERTLY RESEARCHED SUPERBLY CRAFTED MUST-READ -- Greg Ahlgren & Stephen Monier

This shocking but true story is told in just 350 pages divided into dozens of short, riveting chapters you can't put down. Bonus features include:

-- scores of photos including what Little Charlie really looked like at the time he disappeared and other suppressed evidence

-- the May 1932 forensic report issued by the premiere medical lab now known as Bristol Myers Squibb.

-- modern forensic analysis of the corpse by a renowned pathologist published here for the first time

-- 60+ pages of detailed endnotes for armchair detectives and curious readers

-- source list of over 90+ books, archives and other reference materials

-- comprehensive index, and more

In the depths of the Depression, millions worldwide followed every twist and turn of the Lindbergh baby kidnap/murder. Yet what was reported was largely fake news. Nearly a century after undocumented immigrant Bruno Richard Hauptmann was executed for the dastardly crime, questions still linger. If the wrong man was convicted, who did it? When? Why? Where? How? The shocking answers this book suggests have eluded all prior authors. Extensive research into dusty archives yielded crucial forensic evidence never before analyzed. Readers are invited to reexamine the crime of the century with fresh eyes focused on a key suspect - a slim man wearing a fedora that obscured his face. He was spotted with a ladder in his car near the Lindberghs' driveway early that fateful night. The police let an insider who fit that description oversee the entire investigation - the boy's father, international hero Charles Lindbergh. Abuse of power, amorality and xenophobia all feature in this saga set in an era dominated by white supremacists and social Darwinists. If Lindbergh was Suspect No. 1, the man who got away, what was his motive? Who else was involved? Who helped cover up the crime?

This book contains twenty-two independent chapters relating stories of the author's adventures over more than fifty years of global travel.

Two perspectives are found in the book. One is that of the author's personal adventures, with examples such as almost getting stuck in Iran with an expired visa, taking a nap with giraffes and zebras in South Africa, and a story of what can happen when getting a haircut where English is not spoken. He also relates his experiences of being a jury foreman in a murder trial, purchasing a goat in northern Kenya, and having a one-month-old baby teach him an important fact of life during a medical school teaching session.

The other perspective is that of the author's interactions with locals in places like Cambodia, India, Bhutan and Syria, where he developed relationships of trust and acceptance with locals he met. In one chapter, he visits a northern India Hindu monkey temple with a devout follower whose unique temple offering would shock most Westerners. In another, he shares a Cambodian bird-watching guide's narrative of avoiding certain death from the Khmer Rouge by hiding in the forest for over a year. Then there's the drama of the Bhutanese peasant farmer who was mauled by a bear in the remote part of the country, and his lengthy and exhausting efforts to obtain assistance. The author interviewed him in the Thimphu Bhutan National Hospital.

Color photographs throughout the book provide added value to the reader. Favorites vary, but dramatic candidates include the body-pierced Hindu man at the Batu Caves in Malaysia, or the Aleppo alleyway scene with the boy defying gravity with his cart. The one with the author somehow smiling with a snake draped around his neck is begging for humorous captions.

Calabrian Tales is a unique story of inexplicable injustice and poverty, avarice and survival based on true family incidents that were revealed to the author in his youth.

The book's chief character is the author's great aunt, Marianna, who became the mistress of a wealthy noble. The lifestyle she adopted repeatedly shamed her relatives until living in Italy became unbearable for them. Eventually, the author's father, Raffaele, fled his beloved Italy in the face of constant shame, and settled in the U.S. His son, author Peter Chiarella, grew up in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. There he heard the stories about life in Calabria from his grandmother, a principal character in the book. After her death, the stories kept coming, both from his father, also a character in Calabrian Tales, and from his mother, who had listened in on Nonna's recollections over a period of fifteen years.

The stories of people who lived in what may have been Italy's poorest region, blend with the historical struggles of the times in a combination reminiscent of certain aspects of The Godfather and the ignoble humanity of Angela's Ashes.

Twenty-two unforgettable personalities interplay in this picaresque page turner. Each one will fascinate you uniquely.

-- Anthony Kilgallin, author of Napa Valley Picture Perfect

Calabrian Tales evokes the memory of stories I heard growing up among elder Italian immigrants.

-- James L. D'Adamo, author of The D'Adamo Diet

A most intriguing and compelling read. -- Joseph D. Sabella, MD

Since The Rosary for Episcopalians was first compiled and printed, the requests for it have been constant. It has filled a need for a form of piety that is alive and well in the Church. It has been many years since the author was asked by the Grace Cathedral Bookstore in San Francisco to write something about the Rosary, as they had -nothing by an Episco-palian on the subject. As a result, this little book came into being. With the Apostolic Letter of Pope John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, and the crea-tion of the set of Mysteries of Light, the need to update this work became ob-vious. It is hoped the insertion of the Luminous Mysteries has been seamless enough not to be distracting. The change of the title of the work to The Rosary for Episcopali-ans/Anglicans is owing to the request of many who wrote from outside the United States who are members of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Many Anglicans, they pointed out, don't know what an Episcopalian is, since we in the United States are the only ones using the term, and therefore didn't know that the pamphlet was for them. It is hoped this small volume will be of help to those who read it and that they may take up the Rosary and use it when they care to, and make it a part of their spiritual life. Our prayer for all of those who read this is that the Rosary, as a form of prayer, may strengthen you, and lead you into the silence of God's Presence, where you may daily increase in his love and in service to others. Christ is Risen - From the note to the second edition by Brother Tom Schultz, O.H.C.

James Byron Dean will forever be remembered as one of the few truly iconic American figures of the 20th century. Since Dean's tragic death in 1955, his popularity has grown greater with each new generation. His name continues to appear in the lyrics of rock, country, and pop music throughout the world. Dean came from humble beginnings, but he left behind a rich legacy still cherished to this day. Countless books, magazines, documentaries and films have been introduced in an effort to explain why his legend continues to grow. He immersed himself in theater while attending college at Santa Monica City College and UCLA. His first on-screen paying gig was a Pepsi-Cola commercial in 1950. Unable to find steady and meaningful work in Hollywood, he moved to New York City. He joined the prestigious Actors Studio, performed on Broadway, and appeared in numerous television programs. Legendary director Elia Kazan recognized Dean's raw talent and chose him for the lead in East of Eden. From there Dean went on to star in perhaps his most iconic film, Rebel Without a Cause. Dean's career was tragically cut short when he died in a car crash shortly after filming Giant. He was only 24 years old. Shortly thereafter a legend was born. Dean is the only actor to have posthumously received two Academy Award nominations for Best Actor. Because of his brilliant and groundbreaking performances on television and in film, James Dean continues to fascinate each new generation long after his tragic death.

The Storied Ice: Exploration, Discovery, and Adventure in Antarctica's Peninsula Region recounts mankind's dramatic history-from Magellan through the first years of the twenty-first century-in the part of the Antarctic regions below South America and the Atlantic Ocean. This part of the world, by far the most visited portion of the south polar regions, is not only a place of staggering scenic beauty and amazing wildlife, but also a locale with a long and fascinating human history.

Several expeditions to Antarctica's Peninsula Region are well known, in particular, the amazing story of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition. The Storied Ice dramatically retells that story, along with many other less familiar, but fascinating, adventures-tales of early explorers, sealers, whalers, seven expeditions (including Endurance) during Antarctica's 1897-1917 Heroic Age, pioneer aviators, and scientists. . . . All this is woven together into a coherent whole, placing the individually exciting tales in a historical context that breathes new life into even the best known of them. Abundant quotes from the explorers' accounts enrich the text, as do the nearly 100 illustrations and more than 30 maps. The Storied Ice is unique in the rich literature on Antarctica, the only modern comprehensive Antarctic history work that both focuses specifically on the historically exciting Antarctic Peninsula and tells its complete story.

The Antarctic summer of 2011-12 marks the centennial of numerous momentous events in Antarctica's Heroic Age of exploration. Among these: Roald Amundsen's December 1911 reaching the South Pole; Robert Falcon Scott's achieving the same goal five weeks later, in January 1912, and then dying, along with all of his polar team, on the journey back; Douglas Mawson's establishing a base in East Antarctica at a place he later called The Home of the Blizzard; and Wilhelm Filchner's strife-ridden expedition into the Weddell Sea that laid the groundwork for what became Shackleton's Endurance expedition three years later. Further, it also marks the mid-point of the centennial of the entire Heroic Age. Reflecting these centennials, interest in the exciting adventures of Antarctic history has never been higher, as evidenced by the number of Antarctic-related books, both popular and scholarly, that that have come out in the past several years.

The Storied Ice is a worthy addition to the best of these, a history written for the educated layperson with scholarly accuracy and documentation. But this is not just one more Antarctic book. The Storied Ice is unique in that it concentrates on the portion of the Antarctic regions whose history has often been overshadowed by events in the Ross Sea Region, such as Race for the South Pole. As such, it offers the reader not only new adventures, but also context for the known stories that greatly enriches them.

The remarkable poem written in Yiddsh by Yitzhak Katzenelson at the time of the Holocaust of the Jews in the second World War (1943), after which the poet and his son were murdered by the nazis. The poem is written in 15 sections, each with 15 quatrains totaling 900 lines. It describes the occupation of Warsaw by the German army and the murder of the Jews, either there or in the concentration camps where they were dispatched. The poem ends with the Jews taking up the gun that symbolizes the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. This is a bi-lingual book with the Yiddish appearing next to the English.

Joseph Levy leads a quiet life in rural Wheaton Arizona. Retired from a long career in psychiatric research and practice, he reads, writes, and walks in the mountains and hills near the Native reservation. His quiet life ends, however, when a dental crown replacement causes trouble just before meeting an internet date in California. Thus begins a year of back-to-back nightmare infections, a drug overdose, and two failed relationships. At every step, Levy is confronted by matters of life and death, love and hate, faith and doubt, trust and betrayal. Most of all, he faces what it means to be sick and to be healthy. He prays to his God, relies on his friends, examines his dreams, and entrusts his psyche to a new therapist.

Joseph Levy Escapes Death is a tale of perseverance in the face of adversity. Strassman uses several lenses to view Levy's life: medical, psychoanalytic, and religious--both Buddhist and Jewish. Pathos and humor fill the tale, while enlightening detours examine the Holocaust, cardiovascular physiology and microbiology, and Jewish-Christian relations.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Anyone fascinated by true crime and legal thrillers will want to read The Sky's The Limit: People v. Newton, The Real Trial of the 20th Century? In comparing the 1968 trial of Black Panther Party leader Huey Newton to other riveting American trials from 1901 to 1999, author Lise Pearlman revisits historic legal battles featuring murder, rape and kidnapping, skeletons in celebrity closets, class warfare, fixing the World Series, evolution versus creationism, abuse of power and political conspiracy. Each trial of the century serves as a window into its own era, but the author asserts that the Newton murder trial following a shootout with two Oakland policemen--where the accused revolutionary put America itself on trial for 400 years of racism-should head the list. It drew an international spotlight on a superpower rocked by two political assassinations and bitterly divided over the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement. At the time, the FBI considered the Black Panthers the greatest internal threat to America's security. So did Party spokesman Eldridge Cleaver, who threatened revolution if Newton were condemned to die. The author contends that the jury's surprising verdict still reverberates today-had it turned out otherwise Barack Obama would likely not be President. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lise Pearlman was an undergraduate at Yale during the murder trial of Panther Chairman Bobby Seale in New Haven and has lived most of her adult life in Oakland where the 1968 Huey Newton murder trial took place. She arrived in the fall of 1971 between Newton's second and third trials for the killing of Officer Frey. Now a retired judge, she practices as a mediator with Alternative Resolution Centers.

Storytelling is hugely transformative to how we view ourselves, those around us, and our place amidst it all. The Power of Storytelling: Social Impact Entertainment is a look at how entertainment and media has had a positive and negative impact throughout the last century by looking at specific films and TV shows, pioneers in the field, and those that dial it down to a science. Readers will be left with unprecedented insight into how a simple narrative can change the world.

This memoir comes in three parts:

Part 1, which includes Chapters 1 and 2, presents the highlights of my personal life, my education, and my marriage.

Part 2, which includes chapters 3 to 18, is a description of my fifty-year professional career at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory where I participated in some fascinating accelerator and particle physics research. Many people are convinced a priori that this type of science is beyond their comprehension, but my ambition here is to make it as understandable as possible to my readers, regardless of their backgrounds. My career took me all over the world and brought me together with wonderful colleagues at home and abroad, whose contributions and memories I want to share.

Part 3, which includes Chapters 19 to 23, covers some of my observations and experiences in world affairs and politics that enriched my life. My decision to teach courses on the causes of war at Stanford also explains how I came to publish a book in 2019 on The Human Condition, and why this memoir frequently includes comments on international events. After I retired, I also found some time to study the existential threat of global warming of our planet to which I dedicate Chapter 22.

Buttercups and Gratitude: My Illustrated Journey with Andrew Wyeth is the second book on a diary written by model and friend Helen M.

Sun Tzu's The Art of War is a Chinese classic in military strategy and warfare that has been consulted and applied by international leaders for over two-thousand five hundred years. It is founded on the fundamental principles, wisdom and practices of ancient Chinese Taoism and shares the ethical value of resolving conflicts, winning battles and defeating enemies through knowledgeable, enlightened and compassionate ways of not fighting a war.

The Art of War is relevant for managing both interpersonal conflicts between ourselves and fellow human beings and intrapersonal conflicts between our primary executive ego-self and our various subordinate ego-selves.

Its practical value, relevance, applicability and usefulness are its being a context and springboard for encouraging, inspiring and stimulating the creating, devising and implementing of your own ways of navigating intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts based upon the nature of your unique self, the nature of specific conflicts and the nature of particular opponents and adversaries.
