When participation in the Hitler Youth became mandatory in Germany, groups of teen “pirates” rebelled. Muhammad Ali refused to “drop bombs and bullets on brown people” in Vietnam. A dog sled relay carried life-saving medicine 674 miles through –50 temperatures to rescue children dying from diphtheria. The Dionne Quintuplets were stolen by the Canadian government and displayed like zoo animals for profit.

The Holy Sh!t Moment
Motivation expert James Fell teaches readers how to skip the hard part and go directly from intention to committed action. After years of helping people change, James Fell had a sudden insight about sudden insight: significant life change doesn't often come from just putting one foot in front of the other, carefully observing and altering habits, slogging through baby steps toward new behavior. Rather, the research reveals that serious life turnaround usually happens in a moment, with a flash of inspiration. Epiphany arrives like a lightning strike, rapidly shifting the recipient of such enlightenment onto a new path that creates a better life. Motivational psychology has traditionally focus...
Summary of James Fell's On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There is too much sympathy for Nazis today. Anything more than zero sympathy is too much sympathy. Because Nazis deserve to die. And American soldiers were reluctant to take Nazi prisoners, because their superior officers wanted to question them and not waste them. #2 The Reconquista was the name given to the process of reclaiming Spain’s territory from the Muslims, which took place from 711 to 1492. It was a reconquering of their own territory, and Islamic law forbids forced conversion. #3 The end of the Shogunate in Japan was the result of a revolution to overthrow the isolationist factions of the ...
The Fighter Fell in Love
Aged twenty-one, James R Jump gave up his job as a journalist and went to Spain to fight General Franco's fascists in the Spanish civil war of 1936-39. Leaving his Spanish fiancée in England, he joined the legendary International Brigades and was mentioned in despatches for bravery during the Battle of the Ebro. This is his previously unpublished memoir, bringing to life his time in Spain and the tragic course of the war he took part in. The author's accompanying poems reflect the intense emotions sparked by his experience - anger, comradeship, fear, grief and determination - as well as his growing love of Spain and a lament for the passing of a generation who fought alongside him.
My Life and Hard Times
Widely hailed as one of the finest humorist of the twentieth century, James Thurber looks back at his own life growing up in Columbus, Ohio, with the same humor and sharp wit that defined his famous sketches and writings. In My Life and Hard times, first published in 1933, he recounts the delightful chaos and frustrations of family, boyhood, youth odd dogs, recalcitrant machinery, and the foibles of human nature.
On the Street where You Live: Victoria's early roads and railways
In the mid-1800s, Victoria grew from a fur-trading post into a provincial capital--the jewel in British Columbia's golden crown. Meanwhile, many of the early residents, happy to leave the Hudson's Bay Company behind, followed simple trails from the fort or discovered new routes of their own. In her first book, Danda Humphreys introduced readers to some of the people who forged those pioneer pathways. Now she takes us another step back in time to the roads and railways that connected the original city's core to today's suburbs. From Saanich to Sooke, street names tell stories of intrigue and adventure: Rowland Avenue, named for the farm labourer with a sinister sideline: hangman for the HBC. ...

Manifestations
Have you ever wondered how delightful it would be to create the life of your dreams? Does it seem you are a step behind when it comes to everyone else? Has trauma made you feel as though you can't move forward and co-create a life that makes a difference? The authors in this book share chapters of their life and lovingly express with courage their journey of self-discovery in the realm of manifestation. We are creating the world around us. In just about every philosophy, there is an understanding that our thoughts become things and the world is an out-picturing of our internal reality. When we clean up the inner world with honest awareness, the external world becomes more aligned with those experiences we genuinely desire. It seems wild to imagine that we can create something better in life simply by changing our perspective, but it does happen. The authors in this book openly show you how their lives are affected by consistent manifestation principles you can use today. If you want to reflect deeper meaning, a desire for love, safety, abundance, prosperity and health this book will be your guidepost to help you on your way.
