Download or read book Bedford Goes to War written by James W. Morrison and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bedford Goes to War is the compelling World War II story of Bedford County, Virginia--a story of heroism, sacrifice, and remembrance. From a population of 30,000, some 4,000 men and women served in the military. Some 50 fought in the Normandy Invasion, and 20 were killed in action on D-Day--19 in the 116th Infantry's Company A, which had been a National Guard unit in Bedford. The county is believed to have lost more men per capita on D-Day than any other community in America. As tragic as D-Day was for Bedford, its sacrifice throughout the war was far greater. Its men fought and died on the ground, in the air, and at sea in all major theaters. Over 140 were killed or died, many more were wounded, and over 20 were POWs. On the home front, citizens produced war material and food, prepared for civil defense, bought war bonds, contributed to the Red Cross and USO, restricted consumption, salvaged scarce materials, grew Victory Gardens, prepared surgical dressings for the military, and wrote to loved ones in the service. Bedford has honored and memorialized those who fought and died. It also proudly hosts the National D-Day Memorial. Bedford Goes to War tells what happened during the war in general to Bedford County--to those who served in the military and those who remained on the home front--and in specific detail to 35 veterans and their families. The book is based on extensive research in Bedford County's library, museum, and courthouse and interviews with over 30 veterans or their families. The book includes 367 pages of text, 30 pages of photos and maps, two appendices, a bibliography, and over 900 endnotes. Bedford Goes to War was nominated for the 2005 Library of Virginia Literary Awards, and from 60 nonfiction books nominated a panel selected it as one of five finalists for a Peoples Choice Award.

Download or read book Refuge Recovery written by Noah Levine and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and renowned Buddhist teacher Noah Levine adapts the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eight Fold Path into a proven and systematic approach to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—an indispensable alternative to the 12-step program. While many desperately need the help of the 12-step recovery program, the traditional AA model's focus on an external higher power can alienate people who don't connect with its religious tenets. Refuge Recovery is a systematic method based on Buddhist principles, which integrates scientific, non-theistic, and psychological insight. Viewing addiction as cravings in the mind and body, Levine shows how a path of meditative awareness can alleviate those desires and ease suffering. Refuge Recovery includes daily meditation practices, written investigations that explore the causes and conditions of our addictions, and advice and inspiration for finding or creating a community to help you heal and awaken. Practical yet compassionate, Levine's successful Refuge Recovery system is designed for anyone interested in a non-theistic approach to recovery and requires no previous experience or knowledge of Buddhism or meditation.
