At the same time, the individuals featured in the book speak to the myriad ways by which Americans rose to meet the challenges presented by 9\/11, and celebrates the many heroes that are found within its pages.      In the tradition of Studs Terkel, DiMarco's literary time capsule includes a wide variety of viewpoints, including: The small group of people who miraculously made it safely down from the 89th floor of Tower 1, the New York Times reporter who desperately fought her way through the fleeing crowds to get back into Lower Manhattan, the paramedic who set up a triage area 200 yards from the base of the Towers before they collapsed, and the bereaved citizens of New York City who struggled to get on with their lives in the days and months following the tragic event, among dozens of others.       The original edition of Tower Stories was one of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed books on 9\/11 ever published, and for this 20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition, DiMarco has conducted additional interviews that offer a contemporary perspective on the 9\/11 tragedy. The individuals DiMarco interviewed for the new edition include:       • Alice Greenwald (President and CEO of the 9\/11 Memorial \u0026amp; Museum)      • Father Jim Martin (New York Times bestselling author)      • Tom Haddad (survivor of the 89th floor, Tower 1)      • Stephen Adly Guirgis (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright).       The 20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition of DiMarco's moving oral history preserves all of the voices from the original edition for generations to come, while offering new insights that benefit from twenty years of reflection on the world-shattering event.       The voices in Tower Stories are in turn haunting and heartbreaking, always emotional, yet ultimately heroic. It’s no wonder that MSNBC called Tower Stories “Arguably the most successful attempt at capturing the enormity of the events of 9\/11,” while Publishers Weekly wrote that “DiMarco’s contribution to the memory of that horrific day is enormous; the testimonies collected here form a one-of-a-kind account.”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50224307896593,"sku":"CIN1595801022G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038299128081,"sku":"NIN9781595801029","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52425734750481,"sku":"NLS9781595801029","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53381521441041,"sku":"CIN1595801022VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1595801022.jpg?v=1751213460"},{"product_id":"my-two-chinas-book-baiqiao-tang-9781616144456","title":"My Two Chinas","description":"Baiqiao Tang is one of China's most influential modern dissidents. Tang's name became legendary during the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Over the past 21 years, he has remained on the front lines of the Chinese pro-democracy movement, where he has vowed to keep fighting until the dream of a free China is realized.   In 1989, Tang was a student leader organizing pro-democracy demonstrations in Hunan province. On June 4 of that year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) quashed the movement Tang helped to lead in the now infamous Tiananmen Square massacre. During the nationwide crackdown that ensued against \"counterrevolutionaries,\" the CCP issued a warrant for Tang's arrest. Tang recalls in detail his shock upon seeing his face plastered on a \"wanted\" poster at a train station. He attempted to flee to Macau but was captured before he could cross the border.In prison, Tang witnessed and endured medieval tortures that no human should ever experience. Eventually, he escaped to America with help from the United States government.   Now living in exile in New York City, Baiqiao Tang has become a living legend among the millions of people worldwide who fight for a free and open society. China's recent, stratospheric rise to prominence on the world stage has brought its government under increased pressure to account for its notorious human rights atrocities inflicted on its own people.   This unique, timely, suspenseful, and ultimately inspiring memoir will resonate with people from all walks of life and from all backgrounds who care about human rights and the future of free society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50300073279761,"sku":"CIN1616144459VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50386130075921,"sku":"CIN1616144459G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820258357521,"sku":"NLS9781616144456","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1616144459.jpg?v=1751023693"},{"product_id":"tower-stories-book-damon-dimarco-9780974868455","title":"Tower Stories","description":"In northern India, the diverse physiography of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, situated in the western Himalayas, exhibits the shape of a terrace having three steps of increasing elevation from south to north. The lower step comprises sub-Himalayan Jammu, the middle is Himalayan Kashmir, and the upper as trans-Himalayan Ladakh. This varied surface configuration makes these regions quite distinct where Jammu is mostly hilly; Kashmir, a sizeable plain surrounded by mountains; and Ladakh, an area of towering landforms. By virtue of its latitudinal location, the state lies within the sub tropics, but such conditions here are altered by a varying altitude, restricting the sub tropical climate to southern parts of Jammu region. The northern parts of the Jammu and Kashmir valley experience temperate climate, while Ladakh is a cold highland desert. Consequently, each region is in possession of different environmental assets and constraints. This book provides a concise and coherent account of the geography of Jammu and Kashmir. It deals briefly with the political history of Jammu and Kashmir, and then traces the geological evolution of the state. The book includes chapters on the physical features of each region. It offers a clear understanding of the basics of the physical environment, presenting the weather and climate at the regional and the sub-regional level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50305733263633,"sku":"CIN0974868450VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368086638865,"sku":"CIN0974868450G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52877924761873,"sku":"CIN0974868450A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0974868450.jpg?v=1751203731"},{"product_id":"heart-of-war-book-damon-dimarco-9780806528144","title":"Heart of War","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361851150609,"sku":"CIN0806528141G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0806528141.jpg?v=1750818051"},{"product_id":"tower-stories-book-damon-dimarco-9781595800213","title":"Tower Stories","description":"Including follow-up interviews tracking contributors' lives since 9\/11, as well as never-before-published photos, this expanded second edition of a literary time capsule preserves a monumental international event through the voices of the people who were in Lower Manhattan end New York at the time of the disaster.

While most everyone has heard of going green, few are aware of the more sinister brown pollution-places; those spots where the death toll of man-made pollutants numbers in the million. This title introduces readers to the environmental science behind identifying, understanding and remedying brown sites. Hard science is always parsed in terms of Fuller's own experiences, making this both pertinent and accessible.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50468177477905,"sku":"CIN1595800832G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51333241340177,"sku":"CIN1595800832VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52676305322257,"sku":"NLS9781595800831","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53252260069649,"sku":"NIN9781595800831","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1595800832.jpg?v=1750830229"},{"product_id":"quotable-actor-book-damon-dimarco-9781595800442","title":"The Quotable Actor","description":"Collects advice, quotes, essays and observations from hundreds of famous actors and highly regarded teachers covering the art and history of acting.
