Snow Flowers by Zahava Szász Stessel Pdf

Snow Flowers is a rare study by one of the 1,300 Hungarian Jewish inmates who were "eased out" by the SS to Junkers Company to produce airplane parts in Markkleeberg, Germany. Working conditions and profits shed light on slave labor establishments. Describing prisoners' ways of coping, their spiritual world addresses the question of how it was possible to live in the camp. A recurring theme is the experience of the author and her teenage sister. The 250 French political resistance fighters in the camp shared the death march and the anguish of the Allied bombing. Russian soldiers bent on sexual exploitation were the first disappointment after liberation. Homecoming and life of the survivor are recounted in the concluding chapters. The eight years of research on this book was prompted by the query of a Markkleeberg school teacher. German archival documents, songs, diaries written in the camp, and the testimonies of 110 fellow survivors provide a collective and a personal narrative. The book is part of a traveling exhibit, "The Forgotten Women of Buchenwald." Dr. Stessel is a retired librarian from The New York Public Library.

The story is a charming and imaginative tale that combines elements of fantasy, morality, and childhood innocence. The narrative revolves around a brother and sister, Violet and Peony, who live in a small New England town. One winter day, the children decide to build a snowman in their garden. However, instead of a traditional snowman, they create a snow-sister who comes to life through some inexplicable and magical event. The snow-sister, named Lily, becomes a lively and enchanting companion for the siblings. As the story unfolds, the children experience the joys and challenges of having a snow-sister who is a blend of the magical and the ephemeral. The tale explores themes of imagination, the transient nature of childhood, and the consequences of meddling with the natural order of things. Hawthorne's "The Snow-Image" combines his characteristic style of romanticism with moral allegory. The story captures the essence of childhood wonder and the fleeting nature of innocence, while also cautioning against the dangers of trying to grasp the intangible or tampering with the boundaries between the natural and supernatural. Overall, "The Snow-Image: A Childish Miracle" is a delightful and thought-provoking short story that appeals to readers of all ages with its blend of whimsy and moral depth.

Edgar Snow by John Maxwell Hamilton Pdf

Edgar Snow (1905--1972) was one of the most notable Western journalists to report on China in both the revolutionary and postrevolutionary periods. He first became famous in the mid-1930s when he broke through a Nationalist blockade and reached the Communists in northwest China. For nearly a decade, no foreign reporter had seen the Communists, who were widely regarded as a ragtag bandit army. Snow took them seriously as a national movement. His reporting in the now-famous book Red Star over China was major news, even to the Chinese, thousands of whom joined the Communists after reading it. It has remained a seminal reference on the early Chinese Communist movement. In this award-winning biography, journalist John Maxwell Hamilton follows Snow from his birth in Kansas City to his rise as a celebrated foreign correspondent for the Saturday Evening Post, his ostracism during the cold war, and his role as a singular journalistic bridge between Communist China and the United States. With a new preface by the author, this revealing portrait of the widely misunderstood Snow firmly establishes him as a model for the kind of committed reporting that is crucial to understanding our interdependent world.

Snow, Ashes by Alyson Hagy Pdf

Adams breathed through the thick weave of his pulse. Hobbs. Again. His return likely meant trouble. Care and trouble. The uneasy friendship between Fremont Adams and C. D. Hobbs worked best when both men had a job to do, when they could fall into the rhythm of hard labor. Neglected by his mother at an early age, Hobbs found his way into the Adams family. But everyone could tell he was always a bit off. Fremont resigned himself to watching out for Hobbs, who had the innocence and optimism that can come only from ignorance. After a grueling tour of duty in Korea, however, Adams and Hobbs return to the ranch marked in dangerous ways. In four parts—alternating between the Wyoming ranch and Korea—Alyson Hagy reveals the intricacies of a profound friendship between two very different men. Snow, Ashes is a suspenseful, engaging exploration of survival and failure and of how the most vulnerable among us can have a wisdom beyond measure.

Deep by Porter Fox Pdf

Veteran ski writer Porter Fox captures the 8,000-year-old sport of skiing, the miracle of snow and the truth of how climate change could wipe out both in the next 75 years. The narrative follows the unlikely rise of skiing from prehistoric Norwegian hunters to nobility in the Alps in the 1800s to present-day freeriders on the vaunted slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Fox talks to alpinists about the allure and mysticism of the sport and to scientists about climate change and its effect on snowultimately finding a story far larger than the demise of skiing. Fox uses primary interviews and evidence, mixed with scientific studies, to explain exactly how and when the Great Melt will play outand the groundswell that is rising up to stop it. DEEP provides firsthand accounts from skiers and scientists who are mapping a way to mitigate climate change, reduce human impact on our planet and repair the water cycle. As it turns out, their efforts to save snow and ice might end up saving the world.

Snow Story by Nancy Hundal Pdf

White magic: a lyrical, memorable child's celebration of snow From her window the next morning, Chloe saw a world that was white and still, a smooth piece of drawing paper waiting for an artist... In a story as gentle and soft as falling snow, acclaimed children's writer Nancy Hundal and accomplished artist Kasia Charko have created a lyrical, warmly realistic celebration of snow. After a storm, Chloe discovers the transforming power of snow, delighting in a colorful snow angel, the feeling of her toes -- so cold, that "she thought they'd snap off like icicles inside her boots" -- and the inescapable fact that there are two kinds of grown-ups in this world: those who like snow, and those who don't. With Nancy Hundal's gift for inhabiting the mind and heart of a child, paired beautifully with Kasia Charko's softly glowing color illustrations, Snow Story is a winter wonderland of a story, a warm reading pleasure to be experienced again and again.
