    "Intriguing . . .Provocative . . .This challenging, original historical dramatization is perfect for fans of Amor Towles's A Gentleman in Moscow, John le Carré's The Spy Who Came in From the Cold."--Publishers Weekly (BookLife Review) Unmatched International Intrigue in a Masterfully Written World War Two Thriller. Oscar Frosell, wealthy Swedish businessman, philanthropist, and family man, survived the Nazi occupation of Paris and, like many of his countrymen, was looking forward to being a part of France's postwar future.But in the rapacious, score-settling chaos of the new French State, Frosell's fortune-rare art, priceless jewels, antique furniture, gold, platinum, a valuable stamp collection, and especially his opulent Paris apartment-worth over $40 billion today, was an irresistible temptation for some thieves.>Frosell then fought for years against relentless persecution and intimidation, fabricated charges and trumped-up testimonies, five counts of false imprisonment, near-execution and escape from the notorious Oermigen concentration camp, and the illegal, state-sanctioned confiscation of everything he and his family owned-authorized by General Charles de Gaulle himself.The Frosell Affair is the unforgettable story of one man's fight for justice and restitution .What People are Saying About The Frosell Affair."Intriguing . . .Provocative . . .-Publishers Weekly (BookLife Review) "The Frosell Affair illustrates, perhaps more than anything, the fine, hazy line between perseverance and obsession." -Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, New York Times Bestselling Author of THE ANTIQUITIES HUNTERAbout the AuthorHeddy Frosell da Ponte was a flight attendant for forty-five years. Now retired, she lives in Georgia. She is one heck of a character who has a fiery spirit and a wonderful sense of humor, both of which shine through in her writing. Heddy is also the author of 'The Glamor Years of Flying as a Stewardess.'

    THE "GOLDEN AGE" OF FLIGHT ATTENDANTS!There was a time when air travel itself was the destination. The airlines were international superstars; even among those long-gone carriers, their still-remembered names can conjure deep feelings of nostalgia, romance, and adventure: Braniff, Continental, BOAC, Swissair, TWA, Pan Am.This was the fifties and sixties. The world was on the move, and it was the new jet planes that were getting people there. But competition for the travel dollar was fierce, and Madison Avenue decided the face (and heart) of every airline would be the flight attendant, the stewardess. So it was that the "stew" became synonymous with the airline's brand. She-and at that time they were exclusively female-was the airline.The stewardess became the fantasy every woman: glamorous professional, high-end server, customer service expert, nurse, therapist, and in no small measure: sex symbol.And to that end, these women were carefully selected for their looks and brains, then rigorously trained for weeks, and finally dressed as high-flying, high-heeled models in uniforms often created by top fashion designers.Heddy Frosell da Ponte was one of those chosen women. She was the ideal candidate to be employed by Pan Am in the 1960s: a pretty female with a terrific figure, under thirty-two years old, unmarried, and a speaker of multiple languages.The Glamour Years of Flying as a Stewardess is Heddy's fascinating, often times hilarious collection of exploits as she traveled the world as a stewardess during the golden age of international air travel.This remarkable book is also a rare look back at the people, places, cultures, and lifestyles gone forever, but now brought back to vivid life by a stewardess-turned-author who knows how to tell a fast-moving tale. So buckle up; this will be one flight you'll never forget."A wonderful slice of yesteryear, a chance to lose yourself for an hour or two, and Heddy Frosell Da Ponte is just the perfect travel guide. Enjoy!"--Chris Hammer, author of Family Can Be Murder (Dysorganized Crime Series), The Devil's Edge, and The Game Changer. "Told with a terrific sense of humor and self-deprecation, Heddy Frosell De Ponte's story draws you into a world that should not be forgotten."--Lori Titus, author of Hunting in Closed Spaces (Marradith Ryder Series) and Black Magic Women: Terrifying Tales by Scary Sisters. "If you need an uplift, inspiration, or just something to warm your heart, this book is definitely for you!"--Xtina Marie, author of Dark Musings and Collected Christmas Horror ShortsAbout the AuthorHeddy Frosell da Ponte was a flight attendant for forty five years. Now retired, she lives in Georgia. She is also the author of The Frosell Affair.

    A new job. A new hobby. And then death by bowling pin. Hi, I'm Glinda Goodall. After enjoying my waitressing job at my aunt's restaurant for the last three years, I got sucked into opening up my own private investigation firm-as an amateur sleuth, of course. Just because I was a good listener[read: gossip seeker] and helped solve a few crimes, that didn't mean I had any business hanging up my shingle. But hang it I did. In need of a different gossip source, my partner and I joined a bowling league. I know, right? I've shunned anything to do with athletics my whole life. Just my luck, the league had only begun when someone ended up dead on the alley with a pin in his mouth-make that a pink pin. And no, I didn't kill him, not that everyone believes me. But don't worry. I'll be fine. I just needed to find the killer. If you need to find me, I'll either be working part-time at the Tiki Hut Grill or at my new digs above the Wine and Cheese Emporium.

    Iranshahr, a cultural continent covering much of the modern Middle East and Central Asia, has been beset by innumerable calamities. This region has endured endless wars and foreign interventions, corrupt authoritarian governments and ruthless neoliberal economic policies, and violent religious and nationalist extremism. Meanwhile the land and its peoples are straining to breaking point as climate change accelerates with no meaningful regional cooperation to restrain this developing catastrophe. The nation-state model in combination with neoliberal policies and entrenched sexist and racist norms have caused the peoples of Iranshahr to suffer with little hope of meaningful change. So how to break this cycle? A Vision of Iranshahr is a challenge to the current order of the Middle East and Central Asia. It rejects the idea that conflict and undemocratic governance is inevitable here. It aims to start a conversation about creating an alternative vision for the region and what kind of political, economic, and social changes could create stability, meet the basic needs of citizens, foster democratic habits, and defend against the massive threats of climate change and foreign interventions. Constitution for Change lays out the political structures to foster a democratic society that balances the needs of local communities, whether progressive or conservative. This constitution combines the rich historical traditions of the region with modern political and economic theory to create the foundations of a new multi-ethnic and multi-ideological superstate.

    Ler livros bibliográficos não é uma tarefa fácil. Muitas vezes são chatos e desinteressantes. Entretanto, a proposta desse livro é simples: mostrar como Getúlio Júnior, autor desse livro, pode ser tornar uma pessoa mais interessante, a partir da sua biografia como um professor de Engenharia nada convencional. Talvez o leitor esteja se perguntando: "Como ler esse livro?". Antes da resposta, é importante compreender o título desse livro. Youchien significa "jardim de infância" em japonês. Para Jean Piaget (1896-1980), o jardim de infância seria o lugar mais interessante para uma criança estar, desde que a educação delas não fosse por imposição. Assim, o jardim de infância talvez seja o ponto de partida mais interessante para iniciar uma biografia. Dessa forma, no Capítulo 2 é apresentada a trajetória biográfica de Getúlio Júnior a partir de seu "despertar artístico". Por isso, o título do livro "Youchien: Eterna criança ou adulto irreformável?", uma provação ao leitor. Já o Capítulo 3 documenta a trajetória de Getúlio Júnior do ponto de vista dos diversos papéis exercidos por ele. Por fim, Getúlio Júnior é motivado a se tornar uma pessoa mais interessante no Capítulo 4, independente de suas realizações. Apesar dos desafios a serem vencidos num mundo cada vez mais hostil, ele faz uma reflexão a partir do tempo implacável. Não há tempo a perder. Portanto, seria bom ele agir rápido e praticar dez itens de uma curiosa lista. Boa leitura.

Welcome back to Witch's Cove where the people-with the exception of a few random lawbreakers-are friendly and the sun always shines. If you want to talk to a dead relative, learn about your future, or need a spell created just for you, you've come to the right place. Hi, I'm Glinda Goodall, and after fourteen years of hearing my iguana complain about how my spell turned his green skin pink, I finally have a chance to help him. The problem? I'm either the worst witch in Florida or the unluckiest. At the store where I buy my potions, the owner happened to be out of town. No worries. Why shouldn't I trust the ancient substitute who is hard of hearing and doesn't see well? Long story short, she mixed in the wrong ingredient, and instead of turning Iggy back to green, I ended up seeing ghosts! Just my luck, the first semi-translucent figure I ran into was recently murdered and wants my help to figure out who did it. Never one to turn down a soul in need, I agree. If you want to tag along, please do. You'll find me at the Tiki Hut Grill most days serving breakfast and smiles. Oh, yeah. I found a talking cat too!

    When I grow up I do not want to be a professional poet. So far as I am a poet at all, I write for members of the Codex, about which I have written before-"We represent the anonymous practitioners who spend their lives quietly transforming and transferring the culture to the next and the next generations" one by one and all at once. Like Transtromer's Adam Ileborgh, like you perhaps, we are those who are never missed-and who refuse to be missing.Lately, I've been reading The Magic Mountain again after close to fifty years. I am thinking of the book as a sort of ascent into the underworld, and I doubt that Mann, with his pattern of descents in his work, would argue much. This book seems to have been composed with a similar attention to space and time, the probability added that those concepts lie in such political and technical jeopardy as might be a shock even to Jeremiah. And so do we.
