Hiroo Onoda
No Surrender: My Thirty-Year War

1999 y.
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
Description: In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine police, hostile islanders, and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers, convinced that World War II was still being fought and that one day his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This account of those years is an epic tale of the will to survive that offers a rare glimpse of man`s invincible spirit, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. A hero to his people, Onoda wrote down his experiences soon after his return to civilization. This book was translated into English the following year and has enjoyed an approving audience ever since. [detailed...]

No Sweat: Fashion, Free Trade, and the Rights of Garment Workers

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A hard-hitting expose of the fashion world you don`t see on the catwalk. Are you aware that the T-shirt or the running shoes you are wearing may have been produced by children as young as 13 years old, working 14-hour days for 30 cents an hour? Don`t be reassured by a label that claims the item was manufactured in the USA or Europe. It could have been sewn in Haiti or Indonesia -- or in a domestic sweatshop where conditions rival those in the Third World. The label may tell you how to treat the garment, but it says nothing of how the worker who made it was treated. To find out about that you need to read this book. No Sweat shows you: * How Nike`s celebrity spokeman Michael Jordan earned more for endorsing Nike running shoes that then company`s 200,000-strong Asian workforce get between them in a year. * How Disney boss Michael Eisner`s annual pay and stock options, worth $200 million, are partly paid for out of profits from the sale of Pocahontas and Hunchback of Notre Dame… [detailed...]

Franklin S. Odo
No Sword To Bury: Japanese Americans In Hawai`i During World War Ii (Asian American History and Culture)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When bombs rained down on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese American college students were among the many young men enrolled in ROTC and immediately called upon to defend the Hawaiian islands against invasion. In a few weeks, however, the military government questioned their loyalty and disarmed them. In No Sword to Bury, Franklin Odo places the largely untold story of the wartime experience of these young men in the context of the community created by their immigrant families and its relationship to the larger, white-dominated society. At the heart of the book are vivid oral histories that recall their service on the home front in the Varsity Victory Volunteers, a non-military group dedicated to public works, as well as in the segregated 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Illuminating a critical moment in ethnic identity formation among this first generation of Americans of Japanese descent (the nisei), Odo shows how the war-time service and the post-war success of these men contributed… [detailed...]

Thelma Alpert Blumberg
No Time For Lunch: Memoirs Of An Inner City Psychologist

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThelma Blumberg has seen it all: children with elective mutism, children physically abused, children on drugs, children who create fear in others and children who live their lives in fear. The Baltimore City School system is a good place to find a cross-section of such children. The Jewish Day Schools also present experiences which keep a school psychologist on her toes. Working in Israel, in Kiryat Arba, among other places, Thelma sees what happens when shock and trauma become everyday occurrences. While in Israel, Thelma finds herself counseling children sent by their parents to `find themselves` ? to kick their drug habits and/or their non-responsiveness to Judaism, and come back home `cured`. Through it all, Thelma has to care for her emotionally troubled son, making sure he has what he needs to confront his obstacles. How does she do it? That?s the secret of Thelma Blumberg.

Before he knows it, watchmaker mouse Hermux Tantamoq finds himself not only hired to track down a mysterious blackmailer, but roped into designing the set for an upcoming show. Hermux is on the case--and busy backstage--but as he enters the chaotic world of the theater he`s lost in a whirlwind of distractions: an accidental foray into `reality theater,` film director Brinx Lotelle`s shameless interest in Hermux`s friend Linka, beauty queen Tucka Mertslin`s latest shenanigans, mysterious newcomer Corpius Crounce, and a very strange parrot. When Hermux receives a threatening message, he realizes it`s up to him to save the day, save the theater, protect his new friends and get the girl--a lot for one mouse to handle, even with a surprisingly talented pet ladybug in tow! Rich descriptions and snappy, witty dialogue bring Pinchester to life in this highly-anticipated third installment of Hermux`s adventures. [detailed...]

Leon Kahn
No Time to Mourn: The True Story of a Jewish Partisan Fighter

2004 y.
Publisher: Ronsdale Press
Description: Kahn tells the little known story of the family groups of Jews and partisan fighters, composed of Russians from Siberia and Poles, who roamed the forests outside the towns in search of food and weapons during World War Two. As a partisan fighter, Kahn was given professional guerilla training and soon became an expert in blowing up German trains. The story of the partisan struggle is as engrossing as it is terrible, for Kahn describes in detail those uncertain times when one never knew whowas friend, who was enemy. The final irony may well have come at the end of the war when both the Russian and the American forces, one after the other, detained Kahn for a time as an enemy alien. Eventually, however, his search for freedom was successful: the memoir ends with his immigration to Canada in 1948 and his discovery in Vancouver that `this is my home now.` [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionIn 1981, Jeff Mermelstein began taking trips to Asbury Park, New Jersey, where he gravitated toward the abundant supply of bizarre characters populating this town made famous by Bruce Springsteen. Drawn to the seedy atmosphere and entranced by the taffy-rich colors, Mermelstein was mesmerized by the sights: a pink lady at a baby parade, a startled bag lady dressed in red, a cat-show judge named Mr. Friend. Things kept getting stranger for Mermelstein, whose first magazine assignment wasto photograph animal actors, including the legendary four-pawed performers Morris the Cat, Lassie, Benji, the Merrill Lynch bull, the Exxon tiger, and Zippy, a performing chimp. `I still feel the excitement of hugging Zippy,` Mermelstein has noted, `and watching and photographing him in his bus as he entertained at a Bar Mitzvah on Long Island.` Inspired by these encounters with the odd and unusual, Mermelstein began to vigorously prowl the streets of New York City during the mid-`80s… [detailed...]

Bing West
No True Glory : A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah

2005 y.
Publisher: Bantam
Description: The most hard-fought campaign since the invasion of Iraq by coalition forces in April 2003, the battle for Fallujah seems here to embody most every facet of the American military experience in that country--inordinate courage by the fighting men and their immediate superiors, indecision and contradiction by U.S. leaders from the top down, a disconnect between military will to succeed in Iraq and a lack of dollars and troops to support it, and a treacherous relationship between Fallujans and those Americans who would do everything to `help` them. West, who coauthored The March Up: Taking Baghdad with the United States Marines (2003), does touch on the larger policy decisions made by U.S. leaders concerning Iraq but really only as they affect the soldiers trying to execute those decisions in Fallujah. Instead, West`s focus is on the `frontline,` putting the reader at the negotiating table with U.S. military commanders and Fallujan sheiks, imams, and rebel leaders, in the barracks, and… [detailed...]

No Village Too Far: My Journey as a Missionary

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As one of ten children born to farmers in southern Minnesota, young Doretta never had expected much from life. But when, at the age of seventeen, she accepted Jesus Christ into her life, the world as she knew it changed forever. Soon after, Doretta left home to enroll at Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School (now Northwestern Bible College), in St. Paul, Minnesota. There, she met and fell in love with a passionate young man named Zeral Lewis Brown, and together the young couple accepted God’s call to “go into all the world” and spread His teaching. Together, the Browns traveled the Spanish-speaking world as missionaries, often living in the poorest—and most dangerous—conditions imaginable. From the Dominican Republic during the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo to Cuba during Castro’s takeover, No Village Too Far tells the inspirational story of one woman’s sixty-two-year quest to bring change to the world through her Christian faith.

No Visible Horizon: Surviving the World`s Most Dangerous Sport

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The flying life has always demanded a passage across the razor`s edge. At any moment you could slip to the other side: a gas leak, weather, fire in the cockpit. Sometimes what made the risks particularly horrible was that you couldwatch your mistakes play out in front of you, as a chorus of guilt followed you down. Usually you survived and could describe this music to others, but none of you -- not even with a long and growing trail of dead friends -- ever stopped flying. That wasthe truly unthinkable thing. In a good year aerobatics is one of the most beautiful sports imaginable. Pilots pull through impossibly elegant figures, twisting their planes at hundreds of miles an hour. The stress on their bodies reaches ten times the force of gravity, but this is nothing compared to the strain on their minds and the tension in their souls. In a bad year no sport kills more of its participants. To fly really well and to win you must depart the land of the… [detailed...]

2008 y.
Publisher: Abrams Image
Description: No Wave is the first book to visually chronicle the collision of art and punk in the New York underground of 1976 to 1980. This in depth look at punk rock, new wave, experimental music, and the avant-garde art movement of the 70s and 80s focuses on the true architects of No Wave from James Chance to Lydia Lunch to Glenn Branca, as well as the luminaries that intersected the scene, such as David Byrne, Debbie Harry, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, and Richard Hell.

Thurston Moore and Byron Coley have selected 150 unforgettable images, most of which have never been published previously, and compiled hundreds of hours of personal interviews to create an oral history of the movement, providing a… [detailed...]

She attempts to bring her concerns to his parents, but Brian`s Uncle Connor runs interference.
