In 1957, when Amy Turner was four years old, her father had to be talked down from a hotel ledge by a priest.

His staggering fortune was fought over by his heirs after his death in 1877, sowing familial discord that would never fully heal. Though his son Billy doubled the money left by ?the Commodore,? subsequent generations competed to find new and ever more extraordinary ways of spending it.

Read Or Download Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting by Lisa Genova Full Pages.
A fascinating exploration of the intricacies of how we remember, why we forget, and what we can do to protect our memories, from the Harvard-trained neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Alice.Have you ever felt a crushing wave of panic when you can't for the life of you remember the name of that actor in the movie you saw last week, or you walk into a room only to forget why you went there in the first place? If you're over forty, you're probably not laughing. You might even be worried that these lapses in memory could be an early sign of Alzheimer's or dementia. In reality, for the vast majority of us, these examples of forgetting are completely normal. Why? Because while memory is amazing, it is far from perfect. Our brains aren't designed to remember every name we hear, plan we make, or day we experience. Just because your memory sometimes fails doesn't mean it's broken or succumbing to disease. Forgetting is actually part of being human. In Remember, neuroscientist and

Read Or Download Outlaw Platoon: Heroes, Renegades, Infidels, and the Brotherhood of War in Afghanistan by Sean Parnell Full Pages.
Former Army officer Parnell and collaborator Bruning (Shadow of the Sword) reprise Parnell?s 16 months as an infantry platoon leader in Afghanistan in this heartfelt memoir. In 2006, Parnell and his 10th Mountain Division platoon, the self-styled Outlaws, arrived in Afghanistan?s Bermel Valley, which borders Pakistan. Their mission was ?to stanch the flow of enemy troops and supplies into Afghanistan.? Besides their 32 Purple Hearts, the platoon?which ?usually patrolled with about 30 men... loaded into six Humvees??earned seven Bronze Stars and 12 Army Commendations for Valor, making it one of the most decorated units in the Afghan war. Parnell vividly captures the sounds, sights, and smells of combat, and proves most eloquent when describing the bond??selflessness was our secret weapon??that developed among his men. Studiously nonpartisan, Parnell still raises important questions about Afghan president Hamid Karzai?s integrity, the competence of the Afghan police, and the sincerity
