Book Description
When Art Ali, a brilliant young student psychiatrist, finds himself in a psychiatric ward, he decides to lead the rest of his life with abandon in the arms of a beautiful, troubled affluent young girl. A Concert of Lost Souls documents the life of a student psychiatrist diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at the very onset of a highly promising medical career. The story is told poignantly as a series of flashbacks from the early days of the onset of the disease and its progressive erosion of his life while he still keeps it together. It is a tragic tale of love, lust, brilliance, madness, and the cutthroat competitiveness and cold reality of the medical profession. The reader is carried away on a myriad of emotions that mimic the very nature of the disease itself.

Book Description
From the tyranny of Stalin through the desperation of World War II, this is a story of struggle and survival, of devotion, duty, and family, and of love lost and sometimes found again. June 1941. Hitler’s armies race toward vulnerable Leningrad. In a matter of weeks, the Nazis surround the city, cut off the food supply, and launch a vicious bombardment. Widowed violinist Sofya Karavayeva and her teenage granddaughter, Yelena, are cornered in the crumbling city. On Leningrad’s outskirts, Admiral Vasili Antonov defends his homeland and fights for a future with Sofya. Meanwhile, Yelena’s soldier fiancé transports food across the Ice Road—part of the desperate effort to save Leningrad. With their help, the two women inch toward survival, but the war still exacts a steep personal price, even as Sofya’s reckoning with a family secret threatens to finish what Hitler started. Equal parts war epic, family saga, and love story, Lost Souls of Leningrad brings to vivid life this little-known chapter of World War II in a tale of two remarkable women—grandmother and granddaughter—separated by years and experience but of one heart in their devotion to each other and the men they love. Neither the oppression of Stalin nor the brutality of Hitler can destroy their courage, compassion, or will in this testament to resilience.

Book Description
The Lost Soul of American Politics is a provocative new interpretation of American political thought from the Founding Fathers to the Neo-Conservatives. Reassessing the motives and intentions of such great political thinkers as Madison, Thoreau, Lincoln, and Emerson, John P. Diggins shows how these men struggled to create an alliance between the politics of self-interest and a religious sense of moral responsibility—a tension that still troubles us today.
