Later, he was appointed bodyguard of Mexico's Presidente. During his rich and intriguing life, he was irresistible to beautiful women and a chosen few shared his life. This military and police career is emotionally charged, astonishingly powerful and surprising.

Dr Palm is a licensed psychologist who has written a book about how Alzheimer's disease can affect a marriage. Most books on the market do not focus primarily on the spousal relationship and how it changes. This one does. This book speaks of the changes we have made to continue to have as full a life as possible under challengingly unpredictable situations. It makes a strong argument for seeing a neurologist who specialises in dementia when you first suspect that something may be amiss. Too many of us, the author included, put off having ourselves or loved ones evaluated for progressive memory loss because we fear the diagnosis. The love that holds us together through all kinds of difficulties and stress in a marriage blinds us at the same time to recognising the symptoms of serious illness. It frightens us so to imagine the worst. This is a serious mistake. There is no cure for this terrible illness but there are medications available that can slow the process for about two years.

They work in the real world of espionage for the United Nations Intelligence Directorate.From Ireland to the Balkans to America's extreme rightwing, operatives Alexei Bukharin and Mai Fisher juggle their personal lives against the demands of their work. Just as Bukharin considers retiring, Fisher can't let go of the need for her adrenaline fix, and she may sacrifice her happiness--and his--to get it.

In the nearly three decades since the AIDS epidemic was first recognized, scientists have made tremendous strides in devising treatments for people living with HIV/AIDS. Yet in Africa, where more than 60 percent of HIV-infected people live, treatments remain out of reach for most. A Line Drawn in the Sand captures the determination of several African nations in tackling the challenge of providing lifesaving antiretroviral therapies to their citizens: Botswana, which has some of the highest HIV infection rates worldwide; Nigeria, whose epidemic threatens to become one of the world’s largest; Senegal, often touted as one of the few countries with a model response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and Tanzania, whose extreme poverty threatens efforts to stem its epidemic. By emphasizing the dramatic results that investments in AIDS treatments in Africa can bring, the book provides lessons to nations about scaling up their own treatment responses, hope to individuals and communities confronted with the often devastating impact of AIDS, and inspiration to the international HIV/AIDS community.

Eleven-year-old Marty Preston loves to spend time up in the hills behind his home near Friendly, West Virginia. Sometimes he takes his .22 rifle to see what he can shoot, like some cans lined up on a rail fence. Other times he goes up early in the morning just to sit and watch the fox and deer. But one summer Sunday, Marty comes across something different on the road just past the old Shiloh schoolhouses -- a young beagle -- and the trouble begins. What do you do when a dog you suspect is being mistreated runs away and comes to you? When it is someone else's dog? When the man who owns him has a gun? This is Marty's problem, and he finds it is one he has to face alone. When his solution gets too big for him to handle, things become more frightening still. Marty puts his courage on the line, and discovers in the process that it is not always easy to separate right from wrong. Sometimes, however, you do almost anything to save a dog.

For Doug's brother, Gordie, the ridge with its spectacular view is a magical, special place, but for Doug, it's The Fear Place. Two years ago, Doug hiked to the ridge during his family's annual camping trip, and he vowed never again to cross the narrow ledge from which the earth dropped away six hundred feet to the canyon below. But now the boys' parents have been called from their vacation by a family emergency, and Doug and Gordie are alone in the wilderness. After one of their seemingly endless fights, Gordie has stomped away from their campsite. When Girdle doesn't return, Doug fears the worst, particularly when he hears reports that a cougar has been sighted nearby. Doug knows he has to go after his brother, and he knows where he will find him. What he can't imagine is the surprising source of the courage to overcome his fears.
