DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith the biting wit of Supersize Me and the passion of a lifelong activist, Joel Berg has his eye on the growing number of people who are forced to wait on lines at food pantries across the nation—the modern breadline. All You Can Eat reveals that hunger is a problem as American as apple pie, and shows what it is like when your income is not enough to cover rising housing and living costs and put food on the table. Berg takes to task politicians who remain inactive; the media, which ignores hunger except during holidays and hurricanes; and the food industry, which makes fattening, artery-clogging fast food more accessible to the nation's poor than healthy fare. He challenges the new president to confront the most unthinkable result of US poverty—hunger—and offers a simple and affordable plan to end it for good. A spirited call to action, All You Can Eat shows how practical solutions for hungry Americans will ultimately benefit America's economy and all of its citizens.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCourage is not the absence of fear but rather the ability and pluck to face fear and move on. Great American Wartime Survival Stories is an extraordinary collection of stories presenting indefatigable human beings caught in circumstances that summoned extraordinary resilience and strength: a plane crash in the jungles of Burma, a Pacific typhoon, perilous flight from Confederate soldiers intent on killing the enemy. The heroes within these stories are unflappable, gifted with the strength and perseverance to calmly face their Maker and move ahead. Within each of these enduring stories is an uplifting lesson on the human condition. Here, among the ten riveting stories in this collection, you will read of a group of imprisoned American sailors trapped in a foul Philippine jail at the turn of the 19th century; an account of two Union prisoners on the run making their way through Confederate territory; and the men on American naval ships caught in a typhoon during World War II. Other stories include a young mother caught in the siege of Vicksburg; the survivors of the torpedoed USS Indianapolis floating helplessly in the shark-infested waters of the Pacific; and the brave and unsuspecting soldiers in and around Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Great American Wartime Survival Stories is, more than anything, an inspiring collection of hope from those who made it through the most trying of circumstances.
