" 'n Liter blaue Milch!"
" HER NAME IS FARA "
Eighteen-year-old Fara is a rebel who wants to break free from the shackles of society and live life on her own terms. She has serious anger issues and suffers from anxiety, making her journey all the more challenging. Fara's determination to carve out her path leads her to a brief but intense relationship with Zuhaan, a gentle and kind-hearted boy who appreciates her intelligence and wit. However, their differing approaches to life and priorities ultimately lead to their separation. Fara's resilience in the face of this pain and her ability to emerge stronger and wiser from her experiences is a testament to the human spirit's power of determination. Her story is an inspiring reminder that, no matter how tough life gets, we have the strength within us to overcome it and emerge victorious.

"... der Augenblick ist mein und nehm ich den in Acht"
"...Boy!" A Passage to Manhood
In 1939, at the age of six and just before the outbreak of World War Two, the author was uprooted from the Sussex countryside and tossed into the political and military cauldron of South East Asia to face the turmoil of wartime in the Philippines - first on the run in the jungle from the invading Japanese, then in an internment camp where, still a child, he came close to death. His mind further broadened by evacuation to the USA, he then fought a more personal battle for survival, this time against the stifling educational conventions of post-war Britain. Here, in this engrossing true-life account, Charles Land-Reeves unfolds a fascinating story of childhood innocence corrupted by and then triumphing over an uncompromising and often brutal reality. This second edition of a book first published in 1996 has been revised and corrected for its new appearance.
"...Not bad for a South Texas boy"
The title, "Not Bad for a South Texas Boy", comes from a note penned by Federico Peña's college English professor. While first read as encouraging, it took years to understand the nuanced message of low expectations for one of the University of Texas' few students of color. From modest beginnings in South Texas, through perseverance Peña would earn a law degree; fight for social justice as a civil rights attorney; serve as a Colorado Legislator and Denver's Mayor; and become our nation's Secretary of Transportation and Secretary of Energy.Describing a challenging life journey from the small border town of Brownsville, Peña details his transformation from his original dream of practicing conventional law, to a passion for fighting for the underserved. He discovers a rekindled hope in America by lobbying for education reforms in Colorado and then serendipitously becomes a state legislator. Surprising political pundits, he is elected as Mayor of Denver where he blazes through a calamitous recession, builds a new international airport and modern convention center. He invests in neighborhoods, preserves historic buildings, and brings major league baseball to Colorado.As Transportation Secretary, he helps restore Los Angeles from its 1994 devastating earthquake, introduces new transportation safety standards and technological advances, and supports significant infrastructure investments. As Energy Secretary, he fashions a national energy policy, invests in clean energy technologies, and travels the world fighting for America's interests. He becomes the first Latino to lead two federal departments in our nation's capital.Today, Peña, a successful businessman, remains engaged in local, national and civic affairs and is highly sought for advice and leadership.Peña aims to inspire Americans who have lost faith in our country through his life's challenges and his regained optimism for America. He provides guidance for our nation's leaders with long-term strategies for the 21st Century.Ultimately, he believes that if a boy from South Texas can make a difference...so can you.

"Am I Black or Right"
Am I Black or Right? was the environmental mindset of my upbringing. I have been writing this autobiography since 1987. It is difficult to believe how totally ignorant my existence was, which made my writing the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.The saddest part of all is that there are still members of my family who have not rid themselves of this handicap. I no longer hold animosity toward them, just pity.There are episodes in my book that do not pertain to race, but a psychoanalyst once told me that the more mixed blood you have, the more complex people appear. So, I added some of the bizarre decisions I have made in my life, which to me confirms her theory or lends an excuse for my actions.Some of the girls I went to school with lived on my block, one day one of them asked me "Teresa there are so many cute sailors always going in your house all the time and music playing how come you are out here playing ball?" Little did they know, I would have traded places with them at any time.I was torn between my biological heritage, being American, and my cultural training. Culture does regulate our lives at most turns. I had a hard way to go. Being a rebel and extremely curious, did not at all help my cause. I wanted to rid the whole thing and just be me, but Who and What the heck was I?

My Last Transmission, she tells her story.From her growing up years being bullied, to serving in the Navy, to her twenty-year career with the FAA, this memoir narrates Sims' life story.

"CQ, CQ" ... My Last Transmission discusses how Sims survived the toxic environment to get her story out in the open. When the nondisclosure clause was missing from her out-of-court settlement with the FAA, she forced the secrets to be divulged.
