This is not a war story. It is a record of responsibility. Lessons from a career. Authority Without Control is a memoir of leadership under pressure, where decisions carry weight long after the moment has passed. From rural Nebraska to Afghanistan, Brandon Burton writes about the quiet, often invisible burden of command- where restraint matters more than action, and where the hardest choices are the ones no one sees, both in war and coming home. This book is not about heroics. It is about proximity to consequence.

DEPTH CONTROL is an experimental exploration by an essayist, aiming to make sense of and reflect on personal identity, belonging, and the choices that shape us. It captures a rich, sensory understanding of coming of age, experiencing sexuality, contemplating gender, and navigating relationships. While the themes may be timeless—a young woman finding her way, understanding her body, and dealing with the end of one relationship while considering new ones—the narrative itself breaks traditional forms, seamlessly blending different modes of existence.

Every Room Was a Lie is a deeply reflective memoir about coercive control, emotional erosion, survival, identity loss, and the slow process of reclaiming truth. Told through symbolic “rooms,” the author guides listeners through the hidden layers of psychological control, fear, isolation, financial dependence, confusion, numbness, and eventual awakening. What begins as a relationship that appears loving and safe slowly reveals patterns that reshape identity, silence instinct, and disconnect a person from themselves.

Spürst du, dass das Übergewicht nicht nur auf deinem Körper lastet, sondern auch auf deiner Seele? Ich habe es gespürt. Jahrelang fühlte ich mich in einem Kerker gefangen, den ich selbst nie gewählt hatte. Ich habe ein Gewicht verloren, das ich nie für möglich gehalten hätte. Ich habe es mit einer Kombination aus dem erreicht, was ich „meine Krücke” nenne, bewusster Ernährung und anderen Werkzeugen, die mir zusammen halfen, mein Leben, meine Gesundheit, meine Energie und mein Selbstwertgefühl zurückzugewinnen. Dies ist kein Buch voller Wundermittel oder leerer Versprechen.

Surviving Myself is a memoir about shame, damage, self-deception, and the first opening toward recovery. Bill Tierney tells his story as he remembers living it, including the thoughts, emotions, confusion, and distorted perceptions that shaped his choices at the time. He writes with honesty, without trying to dramatize what happened, excuse the harm, or force the story into a tidy conclusion. At its heart, this is a book about what can happen when pain goes unrecognized, shame stays hidden, and the strategies we use to survive begin to hurt the people we love.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) - philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, current affairs journalist, and editor - was one of the most influential and revolutionary thinkers of modern history, but he is rarely thought of as a Jewish thinker, and his Jewish background is either overlooked or misrepresented. Avineri puts Marx's Jewish background in its proper and balanced perspective, and traces Marx's intellectual development in light of the historical, intellectual, and political contexts in which he lived. 

What do you do when the pastor you married becomes the person you need protection from? At 4 AM, Dr. Bridget Trammell fled with a newborn, a toddler, and just $97. Raised in a strict religious environment where obedience was expected and appearances mattered more than truth, she learned how to survive. But survival came at a cost, unraveling into spiritual abuse, domestic violence, partner addiction, and coercive control. In Trigger Warning, Bridget blends raw, lived experience with clinical insight to reveal how trauma reshapes the brain, the body, and identity.

Alexander Looby.
