Tom Lampert reconstructs the lives of eight people in Nazi Germany based on exhaustive research in archives all over the world. Among them is Miriam P., a troubled young woman deported from Palestine to Germany in 1933, who finds herself on a path to the gas chamber. And then there is the rabid Nazi Wilhelm K., who assumes the position of commissioner general in Belorussia only to fight for the lives of Jews in the Minsk ghetto. Karl L., the only Jew Commissioner K. is able to save, is transferred to Theresienstadt, where he takes control of the Ghetto Guard and relentlessly pursues any violation of concentration camp rules. As the stories of people on both sides of the rift unfold, their interconnected lives branch out in unexpected patterns, shaped by brutal racist policies as well as by simple accidents of fate. Documentary history or gripping literature? One Life is both. A unique document, beautifully crafted, it re-creates the horrors of that time and transforms an overly interpreted past into an open present. Book jacket.

Xia Li, the Minister of the Ministry of rites, was declared into the palace by an imperial edict and became Li Zhaoyi. From then on, he entered the palace as deep as the sea and became a canary in a cage. Once upon a time, she met Wei Wushang, the leader of Yulin juntong, the red man beside the emperor. Wei Wushang was surprised to find that Xia Li had eight points in common with his dead sister, the most beloved concubine of the emperor, LAN Guifei and Wei Xinlan. At the same time, empress mu Yinqiu learned the news and tried everything to prevent the emperor from seeing Xia Li. With the help of Duanfei, the head of Yaohua palace, Xia Li met the emperor and learned a secret from Wei Wushang and his father. It turns out that the former concubine Lan was the sister of her compatriots. Three years ago, Wei Xinlan accidentally drowned when she was in Liujia's arms. Meifei almost lost her life just for her. However, after repeated thorough investigation, the emperor still failed to find out the real murderer. After Xia Li knew it, she was determined to join hands with Wei Wushang to avenge her elder sister, and she began to become more indifferent and win the saint's favor with all her heart. Later, the murderer was caught. It was Wei Xinlan who drowned and saved her Meifei in spite of her life! When Mei Fei is arrested, Xia Li doesn't take a breath of relief as he thinks. Instead, he thinks things are more strange. At this time, she has been deeply involved in the imperial power and cannot extricate herself. Wei wushangben's heart is Wei Xinlan's, so after her death, she insisted on going to the palace to find out the real murderer for her. However, gradually, he found that he fell in love with Xia Li. Looking at the once simple and lovely girl becoming more and more mature and charming, Wei Wushang begins to regret that Xia Li was involved. But nothing can change. Xia Li is totally fascinated by the emperor. After her efforts, she finally knows that the black hand behind the scenes is the seemingly harmless Duanfei Niang! She, Mei Fei and even the empress are played by Duanfei. Finally, she and the empress Qiangqiang, who has been beaten to the cold palace, finally revealed the true face of Duanfei, and Xia Li was also named Queen. A hundred years later, the throne was passed to Xia Li's son, while Xia Li gave the Queen's position to Mu Yinqiu, the empress. He lived a carefree life in the mountain forest with Wei Wushang, who had been guarding her.

When Dr. Daniel Baxter arrived in Botswana in 2002, he was confident of the purity of his mission to help people with AIDS, armed with what he thought were immutable truths about life—and himself—that had been forged on his AIDS ward in New York City ten years earlier. But Baxter’s good intentions were quickly overwhelmed by the reality of AIDS in Africa, his misguided altruism engulfed by the sea of need around him. Lifted up by Botswana’s remarkable and forgiving people, Baxter soldiered on, his memorable encounters with those living with AIDS, and their unfathomable woes assuaged by their oft-repeated “But God is good,” profoundly changing the way he thought about his role as a doctor. Now, after caring for innumerable AIDS patients for eight years in Botswana, Baxter has written an urgent, quietly philosophical account of his journey into the early twenty-first century’s new heart of darkness: AIDS in Africa, where legions desperately struggled to be among the spared and not the doomed. Part memoir, part travelogue, part chronicle of the zaniness of Botswana (one of the questions on his driver’s license application was “Are you or have you ever been an imbecile?”), and part witness to suffering unknown to most Americans, his testimony is an unforgettable tribute to the many people he cared for. Join Baxter on his life-changing journey in Botswana, as he recounts the stories of people like Ralph, a deteriorating AIDS and cancer patient who nonetheless always wore a smile, or Precious, a woman found sick and abandoned in the capital’s slum, or “No Fear,” a rude man in Baxter’s gym whose descent he halted. After many years on the front lines of the African pandemic, Baxter realized that “one life at a time” was the only way to fight AIDS.

An Approach to Rights contains fifteen previously published but mostly inaccessible papers that together show the development of one of the more important contemporary theories of the nature, grounds and practical implications of rights. In a long retrospective essay, Carl Wellman explains what he was trying to accomplish in each paper, how far he believes that he succeeded and where he failed. Thus the author provides a critical perspective both on his own theory and on alternative theories from which he borrows, or that he rejects. These essays identify the problems any adequate theory of rights must solve, describe the more plausible solutions and weigh the merits of each. They will be of special interest to any reader concerned with legal theory, moral philosophy or any branch of applied ethics or social policy in which appeals to rights are frequently made but seldom rationally satisfactory.

This early work by Mary Elizabeth Braddon was originally published in 1890 and we are now republishing it with a brand new biography of the author. 'One Life, One Love' is one of Braddon's novels in the sensation literature genre. Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in Soho, London, England in 1835. She was educated privately in England and France, and at the age of just nineteen was offered a commission by a local printer to produce a serial novel "combining the humour of Dickens with the plot and construction of G. P. R. Reynolds" What emerged was Three Times dead, or The Secret of the Heath, which was published five years later under the title The Trail of the Serpent (1861). For the rest of her life, Braddon was an extremely prolific writer, producing more than eighty novels, while also finding time to write and act in a number of stage plays.
