What happens when life no longer fits the story you've been told? As a fifth-generation Mormon, S. M. Harris knew who she was. Then a series of unexplained experiences challenged everything she believed to be true. Strangers—and even people she already knew—began calling her by another name. Susan. The name kept returning. Ignoring it was no longer an option. There was no going back. In this spiritual memoir, Susan Within: When a Past Life Returns, seemingly ordinary coincidences reveal hidden connections, unfinished dreams, and deeper truths about who we really are.

Among the autobiographies of great military figures, Ulysses S. Grant’s is certainly one of the finest, and it is arguably the most notable literary achievement of any American president: a lucid, compelling, and brutally honest chronicle of triumph and failure. From his frontier boyhood, to his heroics in battle, to the grinding poverty from which the Civil War ironically rescued him, these memoirs are a mesmerizing, deeply moving account of a brilliant man told with great courage.

Beloved by children and adults worldwide, the writings of C. S. Lewis have a broad and enduring appeal. Although he is best known for the iconic Chronicles of Narnia series, C. S. Lewis was actually a man of many literary parts. 

On November 4, 1979, Iranian radicals stunned the world by storming the U.S. Embassyin Tehran and taking the entire diplomatic staff hostage. The attackers called themselves the“Muslim Students of the Imam Khomeini Line” and claimed the backing of Iran’s fiercely anti-American revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Their central demand: that the United States extradite the former Shah to stand trial in Iran —or they would execute their American hostages. This book is my story as one of the 52 Americans held captive for 444 days.

What makes a star last for more than 35 years? Salman Khan is not just one of Bollywood’s most recognizable names—he is a mass phenomenon. Across more than three decades of changing audiences, shifting film trends, media scrutiny, box office highs and lows, television dominance, and digital fandom, he has remained emotionally connected to millions. But his longevity is not an accident. The Salman Khan Formula explores how one actor became more than a movie star—how he became a mass emotion, a family presence, a fan identity, and a cultural habit.

During the 1930s at Oxford, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams - remarkable friends, writers, and scholars - met regularly to discuss philosophy and literature and to read aloud from their own works in progress.

It was in this company that such classics as The Lord of the Rings, The Screwtape Letters, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first found an audience.

After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I'm good at? Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you're good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate. Having that "it factor" or "special ingredient" isn't as elusive as you may think.

S'Mother is a hilarious memoir based on 30 years of unsolicited advice, news updates, and opinions in the form of thousands of inappropriate, embarrassing, and utterly crazy letters showing the pathological extremes maternal instincts can take. Why is a grown woman so frantic that her adult son screw on his windows to keep out killer bees? Are adult trick-or-treaters really that much of a threat?

Joseph Melvin Eckberg was on the Seawolf from her maiden voyage and remained with her until January 1943.

From the claustrophobia of being trapped under water and the overwhelming fear of depth charges to the joys of aiding the war-effort and the camaraderie on the ship.

A quasi novant'anni, Corrado Augias è un prezioso testimone del cambiamento. L'Italia di oggi - esclusi gli eterni vizi nazionali - assomiglia poco a quella di ieri. Augias ci racconta l'infanzia passata in Libia al seguito del padre ufficiale della Regia Aeronautica; la guerra e i bombardamenti; l'incubo di una feroce e lugubre occupazione; gli anni in un collegio cattolico, per lui che oggi si confessa ateo.

Adventures into another world, stories of mystery and wonder, these are what fascinated and excited Clive. He was just a boy but would sit for hours writing stories where animals came to life and lived and spoke just like human beings. This little boy grew up to become the world famous writer C. S. Lewis. However, throughout his life, he preferred to be called Jack. The reasons for this peculiar change of name and other interesting facts and stories about C. S. Lewis are retold in this book. 

A man of reason and vigorous discourse, and a renowned professor of literature and philosophy, C.S. Lewis, always "Jack" to family and friends, never shied from intellectual debate, and through his written works encouraged others to wrestle with the difficult questions of faith. A master of visual illustration and allegory, Lewis wrote with the intuitive understanding that his readers wrestled with the same questions about the Christian story, about pain, suffering, and notions of Heaven and Hell, as he himself had wrestled.

Here is a gripping, intimate audio encounter with one of the greatest figures in American history. Forget what biased biographers have written, and listen to the man speaking for himself. The public figure we all know at least something about...but the private man, the family man, the father, and son has been hidden to us by the passing of time. This is a true audio treasure. What Grant had to say, so long ago, is oddly relevant, touching, and even inspirational now as it was then, so many generations ago.

Few US presidents have captured the imagination of the American people as has Harry S. Truman. In this biography, Robert H. Ferrell, widely regarded as an authority on the 33rd president, challenges the popular characterization of Truman as a man who rarely sought the offices he received, revealing instead a man who - with modesty, commitment to service, and basic honesty - moved with method and system toward the presidency. No other historian has ever demonstrated such command over the vast amounts of material on Truman's life.
