Showing how different events from World War II became prominent in American cultural memory while others went forgotten or remain hidden in plain sight, the author moves deftly from war films and historical works to television specials and popular magazines to define the image and influence of the war.

The World's Game: A History of Soccer by Bill Murray, ISBN 0252067185
Known as much for the emotional outbursts and violence of its fans as for its own stars, soccer (or football, as it is known outside the United States) is a global game. Its international controlling body, FIFA, boasts more members than the United Nations. Bill Murray traces the growth of what during pre-industrial times was called "the simplest game" through its codification in the nineteenth century to the 1994 World Cup, held for the first time in the United States. Murray weaves the sport's growth into the culture and politics of the countries where it has been taken up, analyzing its reputation as a game that has seen more riots and on-field brawls than all other types of football combined. He vividly illustrates how soccer has become the world's most popular sport, one that has resisted the interference of politicians, dictators, and profiteers and - more recently - the demands of television, through which it has spread to virtually every corner of the globe. The World's Game will...

On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Dave Grossman, ISBN 0316330116
The twentieth century, with its bloody world wars, revolutions, and genocides accounting for hundreds of millions dead, would seem to prove that human beings are incredibly vicious predators and that killing is as natural as eating. But Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, a psychologist and U.S. Army Ranger, demonstrates this is not the case. The good news, according to Grossman - drawing on dozens of interviews, first-person reports, and historic studies of combat, ranging from Frederick the Great's battles in the eighteenth century through Vietnam - is that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to kill. In World War II, for instance, only 15 to 25 percent of combat infantry were willing to fire their rifles. The provocative news is that modern armies, using Pavlovian and operant conditioning, have learned how to overcome this reluctance. In Korea about 50 percent of combat infantry were willing to shoot, and in Vietnam the figure rose to over 90 percent. The bad news is that by conditioning...

Ibsen, a Doll's House by Egil Tornqvist, ISBN 0521478669
Ibsen's A Doll's House is one of the most widely debated plays, but which version of the play do we refer to--the original text, translations, stage presentation, radio, film or television adaptations? This study addresses these questions and examines how the choice of medium and directorial approaches have influenced the meaning of the play text. Comparative analysis of the text and performance is framed by biographical background to the play and its impact on later dramatists such as Strindberg and Shaw.

Grow Younger, Live Longer: Ten Steps to Reverse Aging by Deepak Chopra, ISBN 0375419764
Read by Deepak Chopra
5 CDs/approx. 5 hours
In the tradition of the mega-bestseller "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra, M.D., and his colleague David Simon, M.D., present ten practical steps that enable listeners to reset their biological age (which determines how you look and feel) as much as fifteen years lower than their chronological age.
The idea for this book was born in early Spring 2000, when Dr. Chopra was being interviewed on "Larry King Live!. As the conversation turned to aging, Dr. Chopra listed ten steps we can take to reverse its effects. The phones at the television studio and the Chopra Center for Well Being lit up with calls from people wanting to know more. This phenomenal response clearly called for a new audiobook on the topic, and here it is.
At the heart of "Grow Younger, Live Longer is a simple-to-follow program for personal renewal, complete with specific supplements, exercises, and meditation techniques.
