This memoir is a moving testament to the power of family. The Lucas clan was a close-knit, successful family of rural German Jews--butchers and meat dealers--whose strength and pride was challenged by the rise of Nazism. As the family grew, so did its prosperity and power, and the sons, daughter, and their relatives became known as the Sovereigns. But anti-Semites, under the protection of the Nazi regime, began to settle old scores, and targeted the economically successful rural Jews. New laws stripped Jewish meat dealers of their rights, and Aryan competitors eagerly forced them aside. That was only the beginning. In the Holocaust that followed, some members of the family escaped. Others did not.

In an effort to overcome the perception of a seat as a commodity, and to increase yields and loyalty, a key initiative in the passenger transportation community is the introduction of branded products with their associated privileges. In addition to the different fare conditions for each branded product, there are different travel experiences, baggage entitlements, cabin information, and loyalty rewards. Ancillary revenue product and service experimentation are evolving as we move forward. Passenger carriers all over the world are adding optional extras such as pre-paid baggage, early boarding, assigned seating, and pre-order meals. A la carte is at the opposite end of the spectrum from methods that bundle amenities using distinct price points. Allowing consumers to click and choose their way through the booking process is a favourite practice among low-cost carriers and a growing number of traditional carriers. It’s one of the easier implementation choices because it merely adds optional extras to a carrier’s existing fare structure.
The renowned historian weaves a definitive account of the Holocaust—from Hitler’s rise to power to the final defeat of the Nazis in 1945.

After being discharged, half-burned and lacking memories, Lilian Morgan emerges at the Dublin City Dump. She knows only that she must keep the repentant Cain (Samadeya) on task with his millennia-old assignment of thwarting the enemy Pelik--alternate and unrepentant continuation of Cain--in his agenda of death and destruction. Discipline is swift and brutal when she departs from the mission. Lilian also shares one of the Cain curses: returning after death to some reorganised portion of her body. Paladin also completes The Throne Series (Book 4), re-telling in interleaved chapters the First Battle of Glenmorgan and the destruction of Manse Devereaux. Interregnum characters approach a new battle at Glenmorgan that will decide the outcome of Tara's civil war. Conflict and treachery at Tara threaten one Earth civilization with extinction.

Within the past few years, passenger carriers have come to realize that there are abundant opportunities to engage with travellers at touch points throughout the travel-planning and booking process to engender additional brand loyalty and generate incremental revenue via ancillary services. There can be up to eight essential stages of the overall travel experience including: Inspiration, Planning, Booking, Purchase, Pre-trip, Departure, On-board, and Post-trip. Many passenger carriers are taking steps to transform their brand images and operations from mere providers of a commodity product (seats on a plane) or means to an end (a transporter of passengers from point A to B) into entities providing timely and alluring travel services throughout the customer experience.
