High hopes and thirty dollars start a young couple forced out of farming, by the dust bowl and the Great Depression, to leave their Texas home. In 1936, with another newly married couple, they search for a better life in California. This story of adventure, hardships and triumphs is told through the eyes of a sixteen year old bride who has never been more than sixty miles from her Texas home. This true story that reads like a novel, tells of being homeless, hungry, of floods and rattlesnakes; living under a tree for six winter months and the pleasure of having a box of oatmeal. Told with laughter and tears, the story is about sacrifice and success from 1936 through the beginning of World War II. Filled with the wonder of seeing new places, meeting other refugees and hearing their stories; of doing migratory farm labor and farming cotton. She misses her family and has many flashbacks of her earlier life in Texas. The theme throughout this book is a young bride抯 dream of a little white house, orange trees and a garden. The dream helps her face many hardships. Will the dream be realized?

Before Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) came into the vernacular, a child-soldier returns home from a distant war, believing himself unscathed. Yet the beauty, the dark humor, the lunacyand the horror of his experiences there continue haunt him. He is no longer able to make sense of the world; no job or relationship can hold him...he has to keep moving! In his third Vietnam book, Kerry Heubeck reaches into personal depths, traversing foreign lands and emotions, seeking answers to unnamable questions. He encounters the prophesies of a seeress, the healing salve of nature and the wisdom of Monkey. From that Oriental Trickster, he learns that if he is to quiet the sirens that drew him into this quest, he must return to that land ravished by war. Heubecks odyssey through the Land of the Dragon brings a glimpse of the serenity he seeks. It also draws the reader into an unforgettable adventure during a harrowing moment of this planets history.

Douglas Little explores the stormy American relationship with the Middle East from World War II through the war in Iraq, focusing particularly on the complex and often inconsistent attitudes and interests that helped put the United States on a collision course with radical Islam early in the new millennium. After documenting the persistence of "orientalist" stereotypes in American popular culture, Little examines oil, Israel, and other aspects of U.S. policy. He concludes that a peculiar blend of arrogance and ignorance has led American officials to overestimate their ability to shape events in the Middle East from 1945 through the present day, and that it has been a driving force behind the Iraq war. For this updated third edition, Little covers events through 2007, including a new chapter on the Bush Doctrine, demonstrating that in many important ways, George W. Bush's Middle Eastern policies mark a sharp break with the past.

"Stand-up humor which lies down occasionally in an exhaustion of one-liners, this strenuous pig-sticking of American vacation lures nonetheless has its moments. New York City seems "to have been founded last Friday by George Orwell and Howard Johnson." On Grand Canyon atop a seat-paralyzing mule: "I would wander forever in that crummy grandeur, shrinking from thirst and running up overtime on the mule." Throughout the tours of Washington, New York, Las Vegas, Disneyland, L.B.J. country, Mr. Schoenstein totes two small daughters; endures wifely comments on his driving; weathers the onslaughts of his fellow Americans, hawking and buying souvenirs (from "holy water" from the Pedernales River to T-shirts that sport the word "Schlitz"); and suffers the slings and arrows of suitcase living. The skies burn and so do ingested hot dogs; the wooded and un-wooded steams rock of pollution. In spite of the lullaby of Disneyland, and the wondrous magnitude of topless San Francisco, it's a rough go. See America last."--Kirkus

F I N A L Y! ...she's getting to see the world. A suburban American housewife, Patty LaPlante, finds herself transplanted to a little town in Belgium—a result of her husband's corporate transfer. Her lifelong dream of travel is finally coming to pass, but the adjustment is hard for their three children, who are reluctant to leave everything they know. Given her propensity to attract trouble, her naivete lands Patty into many comic misadventures, such as introducing the Mexican ambassador to a roomful of people by the wrong name, accepting a lift on a lonely road in Spain from a man of dubious repute who thought she was a street-walker, and dealing in diamonds in a shady part of town. As her husband states, “Every time she walks out the door, I wonder if I’ll ever see her again.” But there are poignant and heartrending moments as well. There is the day at the Luxembourg War Memorial Cemetery when she finds herself standing on General George S. Patton's grave, as well as witnessing the gut-wrenching scene that unfolds before her at the infamous Berlin Wall before it fell. At the end of her husband's assignment, however, Patty had grown through her experiences and had become more street smart and world-wise. With the lessons she learned, she knows she can never return to the past, nor remain the person she used to be.
