Maaliskuun 1944 lopulla Stalinin joukot tunkeutuvat Ukrainaan. Emil ja Adeline Martelilla on kaksi vaihtoehtoa: jäädä odottamaan neuvostokarhua ja kokea isiensä kohtalo joutua Siperiaan tai lähteä vastentahtoisesti susien - murhanhimoisten natsien mukaan, jotka ovat luvanneet suojella ”puhdasverisiä”saksalaisia. Martellit ovat yksi monista saksalaislähtöisistä perheistä, joiden esivanhemmat tulivat aikanaan viljelemään maata Ukrainaan. Vuonna 1944 Stalinin joukot tunkeutuvat maahan ja Emil, Adeline ja heidän kaksi poikaansa joutuvat Neuvostoliiton ja Saksan joukkojen puristukseen. Koettuaan jo aiemmin Stalinin hirmuhallinnon, Emil ja Adeline päättävät paeta maasta. Martellit lähtevät ankaralle, vastoinkäymisten täytteiselle matkalle. He haaveilevat uuden elämän aloittamisesta vuorten ja metsien ympäröimässä kauniissa vehreässä laaksossa, jonka edessä virtaa mutkitteleva joki. He eivät tiedä, missä tämä taivaallinen paikka on - he tarvitsevat vain unelman johon tarttua, jotta he jaksaisivat eteenpäin. Kohti vihreää laaksoa perustuu tositapahtumiin Marteleista, ukrainalaisesta perheestä, joka pakeni Stalinin ja Hitlerin hirmuhallintojen ristitulesta Yhdysvaltoihin. Sullivan vietti aikaa Martellien jälkeläisten kanssa tehdessään tutkimusta kirjaa varten ja jopa käveli heidän jalanjäljissään Ukrainan halki.

The Right to Pain Relief and Other Deep Roots of the Opioid Epidemic offers a new lens through which to view the opioid epidemic as a consequence of serious misunderstandings of both opioids and pain. Based on their extensive research and experience with chronic pain care, science, ethics, and policy, the authors look beyond the usual villains-pharmaceutical companies and pharmacotherapy distributors-to examine the ethical and scientific concepts about pain that made the opioid epidemic possible. The book explores the history of pain in Western society, the role of innovation in end-of-life care, the conception of pain control as an important medical responsibility, and the various models of pain that have led to our current understanding of it, ultimately arguing that we must reintegrate pain with the rest of human suffering as a necessary part of a full life. Containing patient vignettes as well as scientific and policy controversies that have emerged as the opioid epidemic has evolved, The Right to Pain Relief and Other Deep Roots of the Opioid Epidemic examines these implications in a more human and holistic way than has been ever addressed before by the popular press and professional literature.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSoon to be a major television event from Pascal Pictures, starring Tom Holland. Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, the USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man's incredible courage and resilience during one of history's darkest hours. Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager--obsessed with music, food, and girls--but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier--a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler's left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich's most mysterious and powerful commanders. Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share. Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.
