 | Seven Words That Can Change the World by Joseph R. Simonetta
It may seem impossible that seven words could actually change the world. We are inundated every day with books, articles, and media programs telling us how we can be smarter, more spiritual, more productive, healthier, more successful. But, according to Joseph Simonetta, even with an overwhelming amount of information at our fingertips, it is the simple truths that human beings still fail to understand. Almost all of us realize the danger that will result in maintaining our present course of global competition, with the depletion of the Earth's resources in the name of growth and progress. Almost all of us feel individually powerless to do anything about it. In SEVEN WORDS THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, a slim, powerful call to action for global change, he reminds us of the three basic truths--in seven simple words--that must become the new commandments of the modern world if humanity is to survive.

 | Collected Stories by David McDuff, Isaac Babel
Isaac Babel stories often address the conflict between his desire to remain true to his Jewish roots and his desire to be free of them. This conflict is reflected in the dual nature of the stories collected here. While many are set in the world of the Russian Jews; others are from the cycle of stories entitled Red Cavalry, which is based on Babel's experiences in a Cossack regiment during the Russian Civil War.
