In 1995, the FDA approved the release of protease inhibitors, the first effective treatment for AIDS. For countless people, the drug offered a reprieve from what had been a death sentence; for others, it was too late. In the US alone, over 318,000 people had already died from AIDS-related complications - among them the singer Michael Callen and the poet Essex Hemphill. Meticulously researched and evocatively told, Hold Tight Gently is the celebrated historian Martin Duberman’s poignant memorial to those lost to AIDS and to two of the great unsung heroes....

"Hoffentlich holt der nicht mehr lange Luft." Oder: "Gleich in die Fresse schlagen." Beleidigungen, offener Hass und Gewaltandrohungen dieser Art gehören zum Alltag von Jakob Springfeld. Der 18-Jährige ist einer der wenigen jungen Leute in Sachsen, die sich politisch für das linke Lager engagieren. Der junge Autor kämpft gegen Rechts, gegen Hass und auch gegen seine Angst. Aufgeben kommt für ihn nicht in Frage. Er berichtet von seinen Versuchen, das andere Gesicht Sachsens sichtbar zu machen: Es steht für Toleranz, Antirassismus und Demokratie.

Everyone has dreams of what they want to accomplish in life. Marty Essen’s childhood dream of becoming a herpetologist gave way to his dream of becoming a popular DJ, which led to his dream of becoming a big-time talent manager, which morphed into the dream of becoming an in-demand author and college speaker. While he achieved most of his dreams at various levels, he also realized that he didn’t necessarily have to reach the top to find success or happiness. Sometimes, “almost” is close enough.

Ihre Geschichte sorgte international für Erschütterung: Am 9. Oktober 2012 wird die junge Pakistanerin Malala Yousafzai auf ihrem Schulweg von Taliban-Kämpfern überfallen und brutal niedergeschossen. Die Fünfzehnjährige hatte sich den Taliban widersetzt, die Mädchen verbieten, zur Schule zu gehen. Obendrein führte sie für die BBC ein vielbeachtetes Blog über ihren Alltag unter den Islamisten. Damit war ihr Todesurteil gefällt. Die Kugel traf Malala aus nächster Nähe in den Kopf; doch wie durch ein Wunder kam das mutige Mädchen mit dem Leben davon. Schon kurz danach hat sie erklärt, dass dieser Anschlag sie nicht davon abhalten wird, auch weiterhin für die Rechte von Kindern, insbesondere Mädchen, einzutreten. Dies ist ihre Geschichte.

Life is Winning: Inside the Fight for Unborn Children and Their Mothers tells the story of how the pro-life cause went from an orphaned political “problem” to a winning issue embraced at the highest levels of the Republican Party, thanks to a small-but-ambitious group of pro-life women.

When Ron Zaleski returned home from his service to the Marine Corps in 1972, he was plagued by feelings of anger and guilt. As an act of penance, in 2006 he walked barefoot across the Appalachian Trail, where he learned self-forgiveness, empathy, and found a purpose greater than himself. In 2010, he upped the stakes and walked barefoot from Concord, MA to Santa Monica, CA. He traversed over 3,400 miles without shoes, all the while carrying a sign that read "18 Vets a Day Commit Suicide!" and a petition for military personnel to receive mandatory counseling.
