|  | Notes from Underground by Donald Fanger, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, George Guidall, Jessie Coulson, Larissa Volokhonsky
I am a sick man . . . I am a spiteful man, the irascible voice of a nameless narrator cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the brutal self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn and iconoclasm of alienated individual who has become one of the greatest antiheroes in all literature. Notes From Underground, published in 1864, marks a tuming point in Dostoevsky's writing: it announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on a monumental scale in Crime And Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov AUTHOR: Donald Fanger, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, George Guidall, Jessie Coulson, Larissa Volokhonsky

 | Courage by Richard Trubo, Sylvia Lawry
When Sylvia Lawry`s brother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the late 1930s, she refused to accept the medical wisdom of the day that nothing could be done. In 1945 Ms. Lawry took the unique step of running a classified ad searching for someone who had been cured of multiple sclerosis. when instead she found that respondents were as desperate as she, Ms. Lawry began making plans for what would become one of the nation`s largest voluntary health agencies--the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society. COURAGE is the story of one woman`s unceasing devotion to her brother and how her dream to end the devastating effects of MS was transformed into one of the most powerful and effective national health organizations in the world, a passion she pursued for more than half a century. It is also the story of medical detective work that has enlisted dedicated scientists in the search for clues to one of the more baffling and stubborn medical mysteries of our time, and of people, especially volunteers, who have become the strength of the Society. Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, affecting more than two and a half million people and their families throughout the world. Although the cause remains unknown and there is still no cure, research breakthroughs have now led to therapies that can help control and manage the disease, thanks in large part to work supported by the Society. COURAGE looks into the inner working of the MS movement and counteracts the common misconception that health agencies are self-serving, seeking only to perpetuate themselves. We hear of countless stories of man`s inhumanity to man; COURAGE celebrates the power of our humanity. AUTHOR: Richard Trubo, Sylvia Lawry

 | The Edge of the World by William Sarabande
From William Sarabande, whose brilliant re-creation of the prehistoric world of the First American has thrilled readers everywhere, comes a major new novel that awakens us to the true spirit of our ancestors. Following their destiny into an unknown land took more than courage--it demanded a belief in a future they would never see, a certainty that braving a path no human had ever taken was their only choice. Now, in a time of mystery and magic, when all they had protected the People from their enemies for the eons of prehistory seemed to be vanishing along with the animals they once hunted, the young shaman Cha-kwena must break a terrifying taboo, estranging him from his woman and his tribe. Driven by a vision, he vows to follow the forbidden trail of the mammoth to where the fate of his kind will be known: extinction or the possibility of a land where all their dreams may become real.
