My Story

By: Lola Taubman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Lola Taubman was born in 1925 in the Carpathian Mountains (then Czechoslovakia). Life was rich in her extended Jewish family, part of a community with citizens from many backgrounds, where multiple languages were common currency, and education mingled with the joys and games of youth. By the late 1930s, anti-Semitism grew, and communities were disrupted. In May 1944, Lola and her family, and the remaining Jews from her town, were sent to Auschwitz. Lola was chosen to work; her immediate family perished. In January 1945, as the allies approached, the Nazis moved her, with many others from Auschwitz, on a series of death marches. Life as a DP followed, with a 4-year struggle to emigrate to the U.S. Arriving in New York in 1949, she later relocated to the Detroit area, where she married Sam Taubman and raised a family. Since the mid-1990s, she has been an inspiring speaker about her Holocaust experiences. Now, she shares her amazing story with us in this moving narrative of her life's journey.

A Quiet Woman in a Quiet House

By: Lola Latreille

A collection of poems written by a woman born in 1930. She has seen many changes in her lifetime and often makes comments about contemporary life. Of course, she is opinionated but feels that if you have reached this age and do not have opinions, what in the world have you been thinking about? The author has noticed that although children who grew up in the Depression era were living in desperately hard times, they often have fond memories of their old neighborhoods and those times. She has concluded that the good old days are any old days when we were young and lived in childhoods neighborhood. Their parents were the ones who experienced the hardships. Most of the poems have been published in Vintage Views which is the newspaper published by the Older Persons Commission of Rochester, Michigan, which is a city near the authors home. It is widely distributed in the city and she feels fortunate to be on the staff.

General Alonso de León's Expeditions into Texas, 1686-1690

General Alonso de León's Expeditions into Texas, 1686-1690

By: Lola Orellano Norris

In the late seventeenth century, General Alonso de León led five military expeditions from northern New Spain into what is now Texas in search of French intruders who had settled on lands claimed by the Spanish crown. Lola Orellano Norris has identified sixteen manuscript copies of de León’s meticulously kept expedition diaries. These documents hold major importance for early Texas scholarship. Some of these early manuscripts have been known to historians, but never before have all sixteen manuscripts been studied. In this interdisciplinary study, Norris transcribes, translates, and analyzes the diaries from two different perspectives. The historical analysis reveals that frequent misinterpretations of the Spanish source documents have led to substantial factual errors that have persisted in historical interpretation for more than a century. General Alonso de León’s Expeditions into Texas is the first presentation of these important early documents and provides new vistas on Spanish Texas.

Walking the Old Road

A People's History of Chippewa City and the Grand Marais Anishinaabe

By: Staci Lola Drouillard

The story of a once vibrant, now vanished off-reservation Ojibwe village—and a vital chapter of the history of the North Shore “We do this because telling where you are from is just as important as your name. It helps tie us together and gives us a strong and solid place to speak from. It is my hope that the stories of Chippewa City will be heard, shared, and remembered, and that the story of Chippewa City and the Grand Marais Chippewa will continue to grow. By being a part of the living narrative, Bimaadizi Aadizookaan, together we can create a new story about what was, what is, and, ultimately, what will be.” —from the Prologue At the turn of the nineteenth century, one mile east of Grand Marais, Minnesota, you would have found Chippewa City, a village that as many as 200 Anishinaabe families called home. Today you will find only Highway 61, private lakeshore property, and the one remaining village building: St. Francis Xavier Church. In Walking the Old Road, Staci Lola Drouillard guides readers through the story of that lost community, reclaiming for history the Ojibwe voices that have for so long, and so unceremoniously, been silenced. Blending memoir, oral history, and narrative, Walking the Old Road reaches back to a time when Chippewa City, then called Nishkwakwansing (at the edge of the forest), was home to generations of Ojibwe ancestors. Drouillard, whose own family once lived in Chippewa City, draws on memories, family history, historical analysis, and testimony passed from one generation to the next to conduct us through the ages of early European contact, government land allotment, family relocation, and assimilation. Documenting a story too often told by non-Natives, whether historians or travelers, archaeologists or settlers, Walking the Old Road gives an authentic voice to the Native American history of the North Shore. This history, infused with a powerful sense of place, connects the Ojibwe of today with the traditions of their ancestors and their descendants, recreating the narrative of Chippewa City as it was—and is and forever will be—lived.

When Law and Medicine Meet: A Cultural View

By: Lola Romanucci-Ross,Laurence R. Tancredi

What happens when two systems, law and medicine, are joined in the arena of the court? This work deals with the structure and the premises of two diverse discourse models; the approach is anthropological. Several chapters are preponderantly based on legal research, addressing cases requiring testimony by expert witnesses on recent technologies used in the laboratories of medical scientists. Descriptions of other societies and cultures consider the identical problems of rights, privileges, and duties, and provide perspectives to cultural self-knowledge. This volume can be used as a text for courses taught in medical schools and law schools. It will be of particular interest to students taking courses in health science, public health, medical anthropology, forensic anthropology, psychology, sociology, public justice, behavioral sciences, forensic psychiatry, legal anthropology, social welfare, as well as courses on research models.

Wisdom Within Divine Words is about each of us recognizing Divine Spirit be the driving force of our own heart of hearts, to have love, feel love, and be fulfilled in life by it all The book was originally given to me as inspirational sayings, one at a time, so I wouldnt become overwhelmed in my passions ,(I had so many of them), of writing, painting, drawing etc. to also have a very serious passion about music, and what it brought to me as a creative tool from instincts deep within my being, for it all to be done very naturally from those deep within unknown about feelings, to feel the greatest love and joy My Book of Hope is to not only serve me but hopefully the whole of humanity that they may take this seriously enough to want to make contact with their own higher selves and live free of grief trauma and pain for evermore, to be inspired to follow their hearts as well.

The Ghetto, and Other Poems

An Annotated Edition

The Ghetto, and Other Poems

An Annotated Edition

By: Lola Ridge

At last recovered in this enriching annotated edition, this important but neglected work of American modernism offers a unique poetic encounter with the Jewish communities in New York’s Lower East Side. Long forgotten on account of her gender and left-wing politics, Lola Ridge is finally being rediscovered and read alongside such celebrated contemporaries as Hart Crane, William Carlos Williams, and Marianne Moore—all of whom knew her and admired her work. In her time Ridge was considered one of America’s leading poets, but after her death in 1941 she and her work effectively disappeared for the next seventy-five years. Her book The Ghetto and Other Poems, is a key work of American modernism, yet it has long, and unjustly, been neglected. When it was first published in 1918—in an abbreviated version in The New Republic, then in full by B. W. Huebsch five months later—The Ghetto and Other Poems was a literary sensation. The poet Alfred Kreymbourg, in a Poetry Magazine review, praised “The Ghetto” for its “sheer passion, deadly accuracy of versatile images, beauty, richness, and incisiveness of epithet, unfolding of adventures, portraiture of emotion and thought, pageantry of pushcarts—the whole lifting, falling, stumbling, mounting to a broad, symphonic rhythm.” Louis Untermeyer, writing in The New York Evening Post, found “The Ghetto” “at once personal in its piercing sympathy and epical in its sweep. It is studded with images that are surprising and yet never strained or irrelevant; it glows with a color that is barbaric, exotic, and as local as Grand Street.” The long title poem is a detailed and sympathetic account of life in the Jewish Ghetto of New York’s Lower East Side, with particular emphasis on the struggles and resilience of women. The subsequent section, “Manhattan Lights,” delves further into city life and immigrant experience, illuminating life in the Bowery. Other poems stem from Ridge’s lifelong support of the American labor movement, and from her own experience as an immigrant. This critical edition seeks to recover the attention The Ghetto, and Other Poems, and in particular the title poem, lost after Ridge’s death. The poems in the volume are as aesthetically strong as they are historically revealing. Their language combines strength and directness with startling metaphors, and their form embraces both panoramic sweep and lyrical intensity. Expertly edited and annotated by Lawrence Kramer, this first modern edition to reproduce the full 1918 publication of The Ghetto and Other Stories offers all the background and context needed for a rich, informed reading of Lola Ridge’s masterpiece.

Lupus or Me?

I Chose Me!

By: Lola Aforo

Lupus or Me? I Chose Me! is a book about a woman, who hails from Sierra Leone, West Africa. In the book, she narrates of a troubled childhood in the city of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. In her book, she tells about her childhood difficulties that she couldn't share with her families and friends; as she was scared they would not believe her stories or that she might even get into trouble for speaking out. In this book, she takes us through the many challenging and adverse experiences young girls go through growing up in a society where girls and women are marginalized. She suffered many child abuses which include sexual, emotional, physical, and mental. In addition to these traumas, she experienced female genital mutilation (FGM), early marriage, and numerous spousal abuses. Then she met lupus! A chronic immune disease which she thinks came into her life due to the many traumatic life-changing events that she went through. The book tells her story which creates an eye-opener into some of the deep-rooted events that describe how girls and women suffer from marginalization in Sierra Leone including many other similar countries. Her faith in God, resilience, and braveness through these battles have equipped her in dealing with lupus! Her story is one to read so you would understand the life of an African girl who doesn't speak as much but has so much to tell! Now that she speaks and writes, she wants to tell it all with no fear. She is a survivor who vouches to choose herself over lupus along with all the challenges she has been through in her life's journey.

Outrageous Offer

By: Lola White

She has a choice to make—work in the saloon or accept an outrageous offer of being one man's unpaid mistress. Hyacinth Woodley is a desperate woman. Officially deemed a spinster with no marriage prospects in sight, alone after the death of her parents and out of money, she answers an ad for a mail-order bride, only to be rejected by her groom upon her arrival in Creek Bend. Offer O'Neal is the new, less-than-proud owner of the Double O Ranch. After sinking every cent he had into the property, he's left staking his dreams of success on stud fees from his horse, the only thing of real value he's got. He can't afford a wife, but a willing woman in his bed is an appealing prospect, and Hyacinth's got nowhere else to go. Just as Offer starts thinking of Hyacinth as the one bright spot in his otherwise stressful and unlucky life, the bridegroom who rejected her returns, demanding repayment for his investment. Ernest Horsham feels he's spent a lot of money on getting the woman to Creek Bend under false pretenses, and the judge is on his side. But it's only when Hyacinth is arrested as a thief and a fraud that Offer realizes how much he values her company.

Group Living and Other Recipes

A Memoir

By: Lola Milholland

“An affirmation and celebration of our deep and radical connections with the world and each other . . . Reading this book is like finding a friend.”—Ruth Ozeki A spirited and timely exploration of group living that encourages readers to reconsider the meaning of family and home. Lola Milholland grew up in the nineties, the child of iconoclastic hippies. Both her parents threw open their rambling house in Portland, Oregon, to long-term visitors and unusual guests in need of a place to stay. Years later, after college and after her parents’ separation, Milholland returned home. There, she joined her brother and his housemates—an eccentric group of stop-motion animators and accomplished cooks—in furthering the experiment of communal living into a new generation. Group Living and Other Recipes tells the story of the residents of the Holman House—of transcendent meals and ecstatic parties, of colorful characters coming together in moments of deep tenderness and inevitable irritation, of a shared life that is appealing, humorous, confounding, and, just maybe, utopian—with a wider exploration of group living as a way of life. From spending time at her aunt and uncle’s intentional community in Washington State to finding her footing in the kitchen as a student in Japan to mushroom hunting in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, Milholland offers an expansive and vibrant reevaluation of the structures at the very center of our lives. Thoughtful, quirky, candid, and wise, Group Living and Other Recipes introduces a gifted memoirist and thinker, making a convincing case that “now is always the right time to reimagine home and family.”

Unmasking Irresponsible Leadership

Curriculum Development in 21st-Century Management Education

By: Lola-Peach Martins,Maria De Lourdes Lazzarin

This book is unique given its scholarly angle in unmasking irresponsible leadership (IL) by focusing on its meaning. For the first time the concept of irresponsible leadership (IL) is explored in depth, the plethora of terms used in various disciplines is synthesised, and the ped-andragogy of teaching IL as a threshold concept of responsible leadership (RL) is discussed. The methodological approach adopted is creative and sound. Following the call for business schools to do more in developing responsible leadership curriculum, the book is the first of its kind devoted to advocating a radical change in the management curriculum. It draws attention to the essence of developing a shared in-depth understanding of IL by addressing the misconceptions of theories and issues that have contributed to the epidemic corporate scandals worldwide. The authors provide a suite of reflective/reflexive tools for RL learning and development, including the first IL definitional framework useful for understanding IL perspectives. In addition the book is the first to introduce the ILRL board game, which increases the learner’s flow state. Thus, the book highlights how various tools can be useful for engagement, and understanding curricula and ped-andragogical issues vis-à-vis corporate leadership practices and sustainability in turbulent times. Our targeted audience: Academic researchers, final year undergraduates, and postgraduate (including Executive MBA) students and Higher Education Curricula developers/designers. The book provides many benefits, some of which include: Pertinent answers to important questions about responsible leadership and curriculum development; sophistication of qualitative research in management studies; in-depth understanding of irresponsible leadership from a cross-disciplinary perspective; support for leadership employability endeavours and equipping students with in-depth understanding of RL; assisting with developing reflective and reflexive practice; and in terms of ped-andragogy, encouraging innovation and creativity in teaching IL as a threshold concept of RL to reduce unnecessary management curricula bias.
