Book excerpt: Skiing was Jack Franklin's passion, so when the Army came recruiting for the newly formed Ski Troopers he was all in. Training at high altitudes in the Rocky Mountains' Army camp at Camp Hale in Colorado was brutal, but the twelve thousand soldiers who trained there evolved into an elite corps, the Tenth Mountain Division, ready and eager to take on Hitler's best in the Italian Alps.Along the way, Jack formed a long-distance relationship with the woman who recruited him ~ but her East Coast socialite background was as opposite his West Coast blue-collar life as it could possibly be. With him facing impending battle against Nazi Germans in the Alps, and her going overseas with the Red Cross, there was nothing for them to do but hope and pray they would both survive.There's only one way to fight a war: sempre avanti ~ always forward.

Book excerpt: Not only his favorite catch-phrase, "Sempre Avanti" or Always Forward, is a definitive description of one man's personal philosophy that has propelled him into key leadership positions in both the worlds of commerce and philanthropy. In this revealing and amusing retrospective, Richard Hirsch shares the high and low points of his exemplary and exceptional life's journey. Emerging from a Jewish immigrant family that founded the nation's largest manufacturer of kitchen stoves, Richard was immersed in the principles of "Tzedakah" and "Tikun Olam." You will read how he learned, at an early age, about the true "Responsibility of Privilege." Becoming the youngest C.E.O. of a Fortune 500 company at age 29, Richard soon realized that the firm was floundering. Through struggle and stamina, he fielded a team that eventually succeeded in not only turning the company's fortunes around, but building it into a powerhouse force in the commercial kitchen equipment industry. In this passionate memoir, you will discover how Richard not only continued his family's legacy of philanthropic support for crucial causes, but how, through tenacity and determination, he advanced those causes to new heights of achievement. Business captain. Philanthropist. Family man. Richard Hirsch's life journey can well serve as a blueprint for the aspiring young business leader and social activist. In this book, he not only provides us with an engaging backward look, but also shares his vision for the future as he urges us all to always keep moving forward. Sempre Avanti!

Book excerpt: A girl and her diabetic alert dog face impossible odds when they're stranded in the unforgiving wilderness. Hatchet for a new generation! Emily has always excelled at sports, and her athletic abilities have given her confidence on and off the courts. Sowhen she starts to drag during her middle school volleyball season, she assumes it must be the flu. Why else would she be missing simple spikes and blocks? But after a particularly intense game she finds herself riding in the back of an ambulance, a paramedic telling her that her life will never be the same. Adjusting to life with type 1 diabetes isn't easy. Emily is desperate to prove that she’s just as strong and capable as ever, so she jumps at the opportunity to go on a backcountry ski trip with her dad and her new diabetic alert dog, Molly. But when an avalanche rips through the area, separating Emily from her father, she and Molly are left to face a challenge far greater than anything she could have imagined. When it becomes clear that no one will come to their rescue before their food and insulin run out, Emily and Molly must find strength they didn't know they possessed -- and faith in one another -- to survive the harsh wintery conditions and escape the backcountry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When World War II broke out in Europe, the American army had no specialized division of mountain soldiers. But in the winter of 1939–40, after a tiny band of Finnish mountain troops brought the invading Soviet army to its knees, an amateur skier named Charles Minot “Minnie” Dole convinced the United States Army to let him recruit an extraordinary assortment of European expatriates, wealthy ski bums, mountaineers, and thrill-seekers and form them into a unique band of Alpine soldiers. These men endured nearly three years of grueling training in the Colorado Rockies and in the process set new standards for both soldiering and mountaineering. The newly forged 10th Mountain Division finally faced combat in the winter of 1945, in Italy’s Apennine Mountains, against the seemingly unbreakable German fortifications north of the Gothic Line. There, they planned and executed what is still regarded as the most daring series of nighttime mountain attacks in U.S. military history, taking Mount Belvedere and the sheer, treacherous face of Riva Ridge to smash the linchpin of the German army’s lines. Drawing on unique cooperation from veterans of the 10th Mountain Division and a vast archive of unpublished letters and documents, The Last Ridge is written with enormous warmth, energy, and honesty. This is one of the most captivating stories of World War II, a blend of Band of Brothers and Into Thin Air. It is a story of young men asked to do the impossible, and succeeding.

The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.
