Dear Ahed is a collection of radical, compassionate essays interspersed with letters to a Palestinian, Ahed Hussein, who has suffered greatly from the effects of war. The author, who has spent much time in the conflict areas of the world, demonstrates that through education and understanding the way words are used, a society could be created free from war. Alberto Portugheis, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 2008, explores how and why language is used to separate societies, control and antagonize people. He demonstrates how educated and talented writers, with the assistance of psychologists and scientists who have great expertise on "mind control," help politicians organise chaos, violence and wars as they use techniques to create fear in the population, so that they can offer protection. The book is dedicated to Ahed Hussein and to all people who are seeking Peace and Truth. This is the Peace Proposal the World is waiting for.

Dear Ahed.... The Game of War and A Path to Peace

"A survivor of the 1916 torpedo attack on a Cross channel ferry, Sussex, recognised Spanish composer Granados in a lifeboat, his wife in the water. Granados dived in to save her and perished. Subsequently, the Sussex incident became a pawn in the propaganda battle of WW1. Extensive research into family involvement in WW1 put Walton in possession of historical detail not generally known. He assisted American novelist John Milton to obtain background material for ‘The Fallen Nightingale’. Walton subsequently wrote his own account of the composer’s unhappy final journey.This is the truth behind the story. David Walton graduated in Modern Languages at University College, London, and undertook further studies at the University of Florence and at Trinity College of Music.

The Enigma of Atlantida Andres Ruiz Tarazona English and Espanol With The Enigma of Atlantida, Spanish musicologist Andres Ruiz Tarazona, has written a book that envelops the reader in the captivating mystery of Atlantis. L'Atlantida, Jacint Verdaguer's poem, relates the mythological story of the submersion of Atlantis, which created the separation of Latin America from Spain by producing the Alantic Ocean. Subsequently, with the Spanish discovery of America, the two were again unified. Spanish composer Maneul De Falla was born in Cadiz in 1876. While living in Granada, he started work on a Cantata. Based on Verdaguer's text of the poem L'Atlantida, he set about creating a large scale orchestral piece, Atlantida. He considered it his most important work, continuing with it when he moved to Argentina. He had not finished the work when he died in 1946. Ernesto Halffter completed the orchestration after the composer's death."

Shakespeare's Ghost

Sherwood, James Webster

A remembrance of five generations of log cabin life inside Glacier Park. It traces the ups and downs of one isolated, insulated, alienated family living for over a century on the shores of Lake McDonald - and one boy growing up in it. It speaks to the tales of Apgar, a village that lives no more, where time was lost and no one learned to hate, where heaven and hell, an enchanted forest, greed and revenge, buried gold and an unsolved murder, a lake with a drowned bride in its depths, from crime to confession unfold. Haunted by a family of living ghosts, a glowing masterpiece hanging in a museum, the solitary millionaire who began it all, the squandering son who came to be called Guppy Grim, daffy wives, jolly uncles and termites of the soul, Robin Hoodwinker remembers, on these cheerful and heartbreaking pages, Glacier and the village come to be known as the summer home of Santa Claus.

The first Arab Spring: revolution and passion seethe and erupt in this action-packed romance during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. Kazan's novel takes us intimately behind the veil, to see and experience the Ottoman world, to let us view, from the “other” side, how the cultural and political antagonisms between the Occident and the Orient of the past century look. There are no easy villains or heroes in this story. Only ardent, unforgettable characters. An American war widow seeks emotional asylum with her sister at the American Consulate in Constantinople during the Allied occupation in 1919. Through a crossstitched pattern of synchronicity Kazan's heroine becomes a vital thread in the fate of Mustafa Kemal (later Ataturk) and his battle for his country's freedom. Based on firsthand accounts of the Turkish nationalist resistance, The Dervish details the extraordinary events that culminated in 1923 with the creation of the Republic of Turkey. The Dervish is the dramatic culmination of Kazan's acclaimed novel Halide's Gift, the story of two sisters bound by an extraordinary friendship, and torn apart by their love of radically different men. Translated into seven languages, the novel, according to Publishers Weekly, uncovers “an Islamic world on the brink of change âthatã is carefully detailed and convincing.” The Washington Post called Kazan's work “Engrossing...” and Booklist wrote, “Kazan has written a politically intriguing and uniquely stylized novel with a subject matter that is refreshingly untrodden. A master of Turkish studies, she conveys this story with the mystique of billowing incense.” The Dervish will set readers' heads whirling with its powerful story of political and social power plays. Suspense grows à la Le Carré, as do the parallels to the latest news flashes from our own times of Mideast turmoil.
