The year was 1960. My then 13-year-old brother Manuel Barros, Jr. was known throughout the community as the boy who could fix any bicycle.One day Manny decided to put together some spare parts, and thus the neighborhood bicycle Rad-Da-Ca Chad-Da-Ca was created.

The impact that Adolf Hitler's Third Reich had on European Jews, Communists, Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals, the disabled and various others deemed by the Nazis to be "Asocials", is a well-documented fact of history. Less discussed, however, is Hitler's disdain for organized religion and his attempt to eradicate Christianity from Europe. Dachau, the first and most brutal of all the Nazi concentration camps, was also the site chosen to assemble the largest gathering of Catholic and Christian clergymen in history. Their inhumane treatment at the hands of the most ruthless collection of behemoths known to humanity, is brought to graphic life through the eyes of a Catholic priest imprisoned in Dachau in the early 1940s.Darkness at Dachau is the remarkable true story of Father Jean Bernard's stay at Germany's most brutal prison camp. The Luxembourg priest had been a vocal critic of the Nazi regime and used the Catholic film office to advocate his anti-fascist views. Following a year-long incarceration, Fr. Bernard was given an unprecedented ten-day furlough during which time he was presented with an opportunity that would result in his permanent release and the release of the hundreds of other clergymen housed at the Nazi camp. All he had to do was admit that he had been wrong in his opposition to the Third Reich and endorse its policies. Would he comply with their wishes to free himself and his fellow priests or would he return to the daily torture, starvation and inhumanity that was life at Dachau?Darkness at Dachau: A Clergyman's Perspective, is destined to become a tour-de-force in the study of the impacts of Nazi Germany on religious freedom. It also exposes a dark and critical history that receives far too little attention.

Scott Turner has brought to these pages his keen and nuanced sensitivity to the natural world that surrounds us. Turner's engaging prose reminds us how important it is to pay very close attention to nature and appreciate the lessons it can teach us -- over and over again -- about how to live meaningfully. Frederic Reamer, Host, This I Believe: New England, The Public's Radio and Professor, Rhode Island CollegeScott Turner's essays display an extraordinarily wide range of knowledge and curiosity about the natural world -- the plants, wild animals (a few of them human), landscapes, weather and the seasons in the countryside, in cities and small towns, on the coasts and in the mountains and, sometimes with mordant humor, humans' reactions to them. We enjoy his take on the tough trees growing in gritty parts of New York City as well as his pleasure hiking in such bucolic settings as the Green Mountains. His observational intensity and precision energize us to appreciate the wonders all around us.

Imagine if you could find the courage to heal from the past and move forward. Born on the idyllic island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and raised in the small Caribbean country of Dominica, Aisha was seemingly destined for a wonderful life. But because she was abandoned by her father, harbored questions about her mother, and experienced strife within her family, Aisha grew up to believe she was nobody's child. And as she grew into adulthood, a move to the United States started her on a journey of failed training programs, multiple job changes, poverty, battles with the system, failed relationships, and profound struggles with her own mental health that brought her to the brink of suicide. Yet through it all, Aisha believed there was a better world that she could feel was just ahead. My Crazy Life is a story of hope, courage, self-help, self-acceptance, and emotional survival. And though it is a story of one, Aisha's experiences will resonate with many.
