From France to North Africa, from Berlin to Buenos Aires, indeed all the major events featured are real. The Graff Spee incident, the Vatican sponsored Nazi Rat Lines, atrocities like that of Oradour-sur-Glane to his one-on-one combat encounters. Training with the Commandos, parachute drops into France, fishing boats into Algeria. The events are real and well documented, however because of the O.S.A and the hundred-year embargo, it is for you to decide if Sebastian Wyke is. Lose yourself in this detailed, painstakingly researched, passionately written account of a soldier's experiences in World War II as he takes you on a journey through some of the events that aren't so well documented, and you may not find elsewhere.

    • With a shared reverence for the arts of Japan, T. Richard Fishbein and his wife, Estelle P. Bender assembled an outstanding and diverse collection of paintings of the Edo period (1615 – 1868). The Poetry of Nature offers an in-depth look at more than forty works from their collection that together trace the development of the major schools and movements of the era — Rinpa, Nanga, Zen, Maruyama-Shijō, and Ukiyo-e — from their roots in Heian court culture and the Kano and Tosa artistic lineages that preceded them. Insightful essays by John T. Carpenter and Midori Oka reveal a unifying theme — the celebration of the natural world — expressed in varied forms, from the bold, graphic manner of Rinpa to the muted sensitivity of Nanga. Lavishly illustrated, these works draw particular focus to the unique intertwinement of poetry and the pictorial arts that is fundamental to the Japanese tradition. In addition to providing new readings and translations of Japanese and Chinese poems, The Poetry of Nature sheds new light on the ways in which Edo artists used verse to transform their paintings into a hybrid literary and visual art. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
