Alice in Wanderland
Alice in Wanderland gives you a inside look in the life of a tour manager. It is easy reading with many of the stories consisting of just a few paragraphs. It's easy to pick up and read a little while waiting in the dentist office, or for the school bell to ring when picking the kids up from school.
The Shop in Sandy Bay
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Which means (I looked it up) no one is angrier than a woman who has been rejected in love. This is a story about a small resort town shop owner, Rusty, whose husband died in a boating accident. While taking pictures for a calendar to sell in her shop, she met an elderly farmer, Max. Her friendship brought him out of his depression and gave him a renewed interest in life. (That is the good part.) Together Rusty and Max innocently stumbled onto a drug ring. (That is the bad part) This story has humor and dumb luck all the while showing you what life is like in a small town. In the end, Rusty gets her revenge. This is light reading. Some of it is inspired on tales told. Some of it isnt.
The Cabin on Kanu Lake
Every school has its bullies, and so did Mayfield, a school in small town Minnesota. Sara as a young girl along with others experienced Daryl's teasing and tormenting until enough was enough. He was sent to a boy's ranch in South Dakota where through therapy and discipline he made 180-degree turn-around. After graduating from high school and learning a trade as a carpenter and handyman, it was his mission to make amends to the people he hurt. He was successful contacting most of his victims and apologizing. But Sara, the girl he picked on the most wouldn't return his calls or acknowledge the fact that he had changed. Through a chance meeting when he did some repair work on her parent's cabin, he saw her in person. He felt it necessary to hide his identity from her. What happened during that summer at the cabin brings them together through adventure and humor. Does she forgive him when she learns his secret? Only time will tell. This book is a work of fiction.

Theatre and War, 1933-1945
On an April evening in 1934, on the River Arno in Florence, an air squadron, an infantry, a cavalry brigade, fifty trucks, four field and machine gun batteries, ten field radio stations, and six photoelectric units presented a piece of theatre. The mass spectacle, 18 BL involved over two thousand amateur actors and was performed before an audience of twenty thousand. 18 BL is one of eleven extraordinary essays collected together for the first time. The essays have been selected and edited from a wide range of publications dating from the 1940s to the 1990s. The authors are academics, cultural historians, and theatre practitioners - some with direct experience of the harsh conditions of Europe during the war. Each author critically assesses the function of theatre in times of world crisis, exploring themes of Fascist aesthetic propaganda in Italy and Germany, of theatre re-education programmes in the Gulags of Russia, of cultural "sustenance" for the troops at the front and interned German refugees in the UK, or cabaret shows as a currency for survival in Jewish concentration camps.
Berlin Cabaret
Step into Ernst Wolzogen's Motley Theater, Max Reinhardt's Sound and Smoke, Rudolf Nelson's Chat noir, and Friedrich Hollaender's Tingel-Tangel. Enjoy Claire Waldoff's rendering of a lower-class Berliner, Kurt Tucholsky's satirical songs, and Walter Mehring's Dadaist experiments, as Peter Jelavich spotlights Berlin's cabarets from the day the curtain first went up, in 1901, until the Nazi regime brought it down. Fads and fashions, sexual mores and political ideologies--all were subject to satire and parody on the cabaret stage. This book follows the changing treatment of these themes, and the fate of cabaret itself, through the most turbulent decades of modern German history: the prosperous ...

Rethinking Holocaust Justice
Since the end of World War II, the ongoing efforts aimed at criminal prosecution, restitution, and other forms of justice in the wake of the Holocaust have constituted one of the most significant episodes in the history of human rights and international law. As such, they have attracted sustained attention from historians and legal scholars. This edited collection substantially enlarges the topical and disciplinary scope of this burgeoning field, exploring such varied subjects as literary analysis of Hannah Arendt’s work, the restitution case for Gustav Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze, and the ritualistic aspects of criminal trials.
