Dai palazzi del potere alle case della gente comune, le storie dei protagonisti si snodano e si intrecciano nel periodo che va dai primi anni sessanta fino alla caduta del Muro di Berlino, passando attraverso eventi sociali, politici ed economici tra i più drammatici e significativi del cosiddetto "secolo breve".

What he uncovers will be used to support the launch of a true-crime docuseries. He grabs a mask and hand sanitizer and heads for South Jersey.

In this world, we pay a visit to the smallest, but terrifyingly necessary, room, and stories are written precisely to chill the bones as you wait for nature to make its call.

This includes department heads, scout leaders, heads of not-for-profits, work group leaders, church leaders, school principals - literally anyone who finds themselves in a position of leadership, for whatever timeframe, at whatever stage of an organization’s development.

This book is a celebration of a father’s love. Much is written about a mother’s love, but little, if anything, is ever said about a father’s love for his children, except around Father’s Day. This insightful and thought-provoking book illustrates how a father’s love is forgiving, everlasting, unconditional...and often misunderstood. Using the Christian faith to show that fathers love as deeply as mothers, just differently, the book is designed to create “ah-ha” moments for readers who have previously not identified what the love of a father looks like.
