Each year the Peace Corps sends volunteers abroad to assist impoverished countries, experience adventure, lie on white-sand beaches, and get laid. Okay, that may not be precisely how its brochures are worded, but that's the appeal that drew travel humorist John Wood and many of his fellow 149 trainees to the Philippines. Wood enjoys getting into trouble abroad, but this odyssey tests even his capacity. He is greeted immediately with dengue hemorrhagic fever. His first host family is abusive. His second one kicks him out. He commits so many cultural faux pas that they could fill a book (this one, actually). As he struggles to learn how to teach and figure out what to do with the rest of his life, his spirits and his town are ravaged by poverty, illness, tragedy, typhoons, earthquakes, killer pit bulls, and dogscaped testicles ("I see more bouncing balls in one day than a baseball equipment manager does in a season, except these have fleas on them"). Wood's dispatches feature an unforgettable cast of characters: the Monkey People, the Sari-Sari Cowboys, the Pastor, the Red-Flag Man, the Room from Hell, the Red Table, the Celibate 6, and an army of teachers, students, trainers, doctors, and "Team John" who teach him that you're often stronger than you think you are, you can make a difference whether at home or thousands of miles away, and you can endure anything if you surround yourself with loving people who continually ply you with cheap rum and goat intestines.John Wood is the author of two award-winning memoirs: Saigon Tease: So, What Did You Do in Nam, Dad? and How I Killed Off My Ex-Wife and Other Far-Flung Misadventures.

Come to Beautiful Ruston is a photographic essay about a college town in north central Louisiana. As a Louisiana Tech student from 1961 to 1965, the author worked as a photographer in the journalism department, and contributed photos to the Lagniappe yearbook, Tech Talk newspaper, Ruston Daily Leader newspaper and other publications. This booklet was a one-off, a creative whim, filmed on a weekend after enlisting friends as models. After graduation the thin volume followed the author in moves from Louisiana to Texas, Massachusetts, California, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Massachusetts. The cover gained a scar from a hot coffee cup, and the pages were wrinkled, having survived a flooded basement. Most of the time the booklet stayed on a shelf, and was occasionally taken down and examined. As the author got older, the photograph's captions seemed increasingly sophomoric, and downright cynical - the product of a bored student poking fun at a quite-nice college town. Then one day he realized the booklet was a half-century old, and that the photographs might be of interest. Surely Ruston had changed in fifty years. A few modern notes complement the photographs.

Liberating Belsen Concentration Camp - A personal account by (former) Lt-Colonel Leonard Berney R.A. T.D. a senior British Army officer who participated in the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. Berney went on to oversee the evacuation of the ex-prisoners to the vast Rehabilitation Camp that the British Army set up, and was then appointed as the Commandant of that Camp until its management was handed over to the United Nations. He went on to give evidence against the SS guards at the Belsen War Crimes Trial. This is the only book to be published that recounts the events that led up to the British Army's uncovering of the Nazi Concentration Camp and its 60,000 prisoners. It describes how the Army dealt with the unprecedented horror that existed in the camp, how the surviving inmates were evacuated and how the Royal Army Medical Corps established the world's largest ever hospital to care for the many thousands of sick and emaciated ex-inmates. It continues with how the survivors were rehabilitated and cared for, how they were repatriated to their own countries, why many thousand refused to return 'home', and the eventual establishment of the Belsen Displaced Persons camp, the largest DP camp in Germany. Forewords by Nanette Blitz Konig, Belsen survivor and former classmate of Anne Frank, and by Major-General Nicholas Eeles CBE, with the introduction by the Oscar(R)-nominated film director, Joshua Oppenheimer.
