My Parent's Last Years: When Upon Life's Billows
When Upon Life’s Billows is the story of the final years of my parent’s life. The title comes from the hymn “Count Your Blessings.” Among my many blessings are my parents. Mom died in 2008 and Dad died in 2012. I explore what I saw during those days when their decline so tempest tossed us. My parent’s lives were cinematic— unique, adventuresome, and heroic. But their deaths were not the least bit cinematic. And yet amid the horrors and squalor, there were times to remind me to count my many blessings. When Upon Life’s Billows is largely Mom and Dad’s words but I also draw from my diary and blog. No one erected a statue to my parents. These words, carved out of affection and sorrow, should serve as such. ...

Cossacks are a group of predominantly East Slavic-speaking people who became known as members of democratic, self-governing, semi-military communities, predominantly located in Ukraine and in Russia. They inhabited sparsely populated areas and islands in the lower Dnieper, Don, Terek, and Ural river basins and played an important role in the historical and cultural development of both Russia and Ukraine. By the end of the 18th century, Cossack nations had been transformed into a special military estate (Sosloviye), "a military class," similar to the knights of medieval Europe in feudal times.In The Cossacks, William Penn Cresson traces the history and culture of these legendary Slavic warriors. ...

The House of Nahyan: The Story of an Arabian Dynasty
They are one of the world's most powerful families. They control the world's largest sovereign wealth fund. Their combined holdings are estimated to be worth a trillion dollars, far outweighing any of the largest publicly listed companies. Yet they are the most secretive of dynasties, obsessive about their privacy and uninterested in publicity. They are the Al-Nahyan, the hereditary rulers of oil-rich Abu Dhabi – a family of once obscure, nomadic camel-herders who rose to become powerful players on the global stage, influencing geopolitics and growing the richest family business now in existence. Their story is one of high drama and folly, palace intrigue and seas of oil and money, of all the benefits and disillusionment of the modern world.In The House of Nahyan, James Edmonds examines...

Faisal bin Abdul Aziz, the third king of Saudi Arabia, was born in a mud house in a small desert village and died as one of the most powerful men on the planet. His reign marked the Kingdom's transition, in barely two generations, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Devout and cautious, Faisal brought gradual change to his nation without eroding its traditions and Islamic value system. Saudis recall his reign as a golden age - when an infrastructure was built, welfare services established and hardliners in the religious establishment were kept in check. American support for Israel led Faisal to institute the 1973 oil embargo, bringing an end to the era of cheap energy and dramatically transforming Saudi society. His death left a void, one which his successors have filled with an over...

The memories described in this book reflect not only how eleven American Presidents remembered what happened to them in their youth, but also a kind of psychological shorthand of their beliefs, attitudes, cognitive biases and foibles. A negative memory may have provided guidance in situations the President viewed as dangerous, whereas a positive memory may have provided guidance in situations viewed as promising. By examining the early memories of the Presidents, it is possible to discover how, for example: Abraham Lincoln's amusing memory of a boyhood caper provided an unusual perspective on his character and his lasting appeal as a great storyteller;Ulysses S. Grant’s memory of a business transaction revealed a hidden vulnerability; Teddy Roosevelt's memory of a fantastic childhood adv...
