Review The Girl You Don't Bring Home to Mother: A Memoir of Prostitution & Redemption / iUniverse:One part Girl, Interrupted, one part Leaving Las Vegas, all parts brutally frank and entirely truthful, THE GIRL YOU DON'T BRING HOME TO MOTHER tells the unabashed story of one very good girl gone very, very bad. With a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a Master of Communication from Emerson College, Marylin Jameston was on the path to be anything but a working prostitute. But like so many sex workers in the profession today, Marylin experienced a rash of acting out and other harmful behaviors that made her feel unwanted, unloved, and unworthy of anyone's affection. Suicidal and frantic, at 27 Marylin entered into prostitution, working as a call girl for 5 years in the Boston area. She retired from the sex trade at 32 and started a more vigorous treatment program for her bipolar disorder, which had gone undiagnosed for 10 years. In the process, Marylin lived a life few of us can ever imagine, let alone survive. From pimps to madams, massage parlors to brothels, in calls to out calls, Marylin has seen, done, and heard it all. And now she is ready to "tell all" in her frank and touching memoir, THE GIRL YOU DON'T BRING HOME TO MOTHER.

Review The Diary of Dawid Sierakowak / Jewish Heritage Project, Inc.:After the liberation of the Lodz Ghetto, Dawid Sierakowiak's notbooks were found stacked on a cookstove, ready to be burned for heat. Young Sierakowiak was one of more than 60,000 Jews who perished in that notorious urban slave camp, a man-made hell which was the longest surviving concentration of Jews in Nazi Europe. The diary comprises a remarkable legacy left to humanity by its teenage author. It is one of the most fastidiously detailed accounts ever rendered of modern life in human bondage. The luxury of life was never returned to David, but a new awareness of it richness can be our reward for reading the diary of this brilliantly and brutally deprived young human being.

Review My Stroke. . . My New Life / Ericsson:During a stroke each minute spent seeking treatment is critical. The sooner treatment begins, the more brain cells are likely to be saved, preventing serious loss of language, vision, movement, and behavior.

My New Life speaks of life in general, and how the stroke victim can deal with new obstacles such as driving, eating, dressing. It also contains illustrations and addresses for Web sites to visit to gain additional information. The book includes a table of contents, bibliography, glossary, and index. It can be carried in a purse or pocket.

Review D. João III (Colecção: Reis de Portugal) / Temas e Debates:Nascido em Lisboa às primeiras horas do dia 7 de Junho de 1502, D. João III foi o segundo filho varão do rei D. Manuel e primogénito do seu segundo casamento com a infanta D. Maria de Castela, filha dos Reis Católicos. Com dezanove anos de idade, em Dezembro de 1521, o príncipe D. João ascendeu ao trono por morte de seu pai, inesperadamente ceifado pela peste, dando início a um dos mais longos reinados da história portuguesa, vindo a falecer em Junho de 1557. D. João III é um dos reis «mal-amados» da história portuguesa, cuja persona, enquanto homem e rei, havia de ficar irremediavelmente marcada com o acto que estabeleceu o Tribunal da Inquisição no reino, em 1536. À sua morte, ocorrida em Junho de 1557, foi o seu neto Sebastião, rei-menino de três anos de idade, quem herdou o trono de Portugal.

Review Cassandra Brydges (1670-1735), First Duchess of Chandos: Life and Letters / Boydell Press:Cassandra Brydges, née Willoughby (1670-1735), was a remarkable woman; through her marriage at the age of 43 to the immensely wealthy and influential James Brydges (later the first duke of Chandos), she was connected to many of the most important members of society at the time. Unusually for the period, much of her writing survives, including an extensive collection of correspondence, and it is therefore possible to gain a richer picture of her life. This book presents all the known extant letters of the duchess. They reveal a woman engaged in a very wide range of activities - from managing family and the family fortunes, investing on the stock market, socialising with a wide range of important and influential people, to matchmaking, expressing views on social conduct, painting, and researching family history. They are accompanied by an introduction, providing an overview of her life, and full notes. Professor ROSEMARY O'DAY teaches in the Department of History at the Open University.

Review Song of Waitaha: Histories of a Nation / Wharariki Publishing Company:At last our story is told. Now the brave ancestors we have hidden for so long stand again for all to see. With these words the Elders of Waitaha tell us that their ancient and sacred lore is shared for the first time. Bound in secrecy for centuries, protected through the ages by those who gave their lives to keep it safe, this knowledge travels out of the past to be revealed in Song of Waitaha. For years New Zealand archaeologists have been puzzled by a people who lived without weapons and created trading systems that moved industrial stone the length of the country. These writings explain they were a peaceful confederation of over two hundred iwi known as the Nation. It tells their story from the dawntime of exploration and settlement to the final days. Song of Waitaha repairs the torn fabric of our past and opens doors into the future. If we are not gentle with life, the garden within us dies. The Histories tell of a society where many peoples walked in harmony with each other. [+]It shows how they honored the land and waters to sustain life harvesting birds and fish to increase the numbers, cutting tall trees for waka and leaving the forest stronger, carving stone without breaking its spirit, respecting the rivers keeping the environment in balance. This treasure from the days of the ancestors journeys out of timeless realms where the people and the land were one beneath the stars. It carries wisdom born of the ancient trails of the spirit and adds a thousand years of wonder to our past. It reminds us if we lose our story we lose our dream.

Review Vítimas de Salazar / A Esfera dos Livros:Durante mais de 30 anos António de Oliveira Salazar governou Portugal com punho de ferro. Através de um regime nacionalista, autoritário e repressivo despolitizou-se, desmobilizou a participação cívica dos portugueses e criou uma única e determinada imagem do país. Pretensamente sem conflitos, problemas, miséria e dificuldades, segundo a norma de «o que se parece é». Mas os homens e mulheres de então tinham fome, viviam amordaçados pelo lápis azul dos censores, controlados por escutas telefónicas ou violação do seu correio, intimidados pelos informadores que colaboravam com o regime. Atormentados pelas torturas da estátua ou do sono perpetrados pela PIDE. Julgados por tribunais fantoches onde a liberdade ficava à porta e onde os próprios advogados passavam a réus. Se a sua atitude fosse considerada suspeita eram saneados, impedidos de exercer a função pública, exilados ou deportados para campos de concentração, ou simplesmente assassinados. Estes homens e mulheres têm um rosto, sofreram a repressão, enfrentaram-na de forma corajosa e muitos morreram de forma heróica a combatê-la. São as Vítimas de Salazar. Os historiadores João Madeira, Luís Farinha e Irene Flunser Pimentel trazem-nos um estudo detalhado sobre os aparelhos repressivos do Estado Novo, o seu funcionamento e acção, sem nunca perder de vista os seus destinatários directos.
