Knowing that no survival book can cover every conceivable aspect of surviving in every conceivable situation, in Total Survival, veteran survivalist James C. Jones delivers tips that cover the most likely needs of readers and for which there is useful and practical instruction. His goal is to share a variety of practical survival skills, principles, and ideas in an easy-to read format that will aid the reader in becoming stronger, safer, and more self-reliant. The ten principles of survival that Jones sets out are derived from analysis of true survival accounts. Studies of why some people survived fires, plane crashes, assaults, and other deadly situations while others in the same situations perished confirm that these principles made the difference. Although the data and concepts in Total Survival are derived from accounts of acute disasters—such as tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and epidemics—they apply equally well to chronic disasters, such as economic decline, shortages, unemployment, climate change, and personal family or health issues. In reality, all of life is a survival challenge, and a survival emergency is just a high-intensity life test. These ten survival principles are the key to success in everyday life, especially during an emergency.

While self-reliance is often treated simply as a form of higher level survival preparedness, it is different in both psychology and execution. Preparing and surviving imply a threat to life that must be endured in order to recover and rebuild as life was before the event. While prepping is certainly key to getting through the serious threats of the twenty-first century, it will only get you so far. True self-reliance depends on making it through whatever obstacle you face, but also takes you to an improved place once the crisis has passed. Advanced Survival is a blueprint for the journey from dependence to independence, filled with practical how-to information and time-tested wisdom about food, water, shelter, medicine, sanitation, transportation, energy, home- and self-defense, and much more. So what are you waiting for? Learn what you need to know to get through any disaster . . . whenever it strikes.

„Cienka czerwona linia” (ang. The Thin Red Line) to kultowa powieść amerykańskiego pisarza Jamesa Jonesa, jedna z najsłynniejszych książek wojennych XX wieku. Stanowi ona drugą część trylogii, w której skład wchodzą również powieści: „Stąd do wieczności” oraz „Gwizd”. Mimo, że opisane bitwy, postacie i nazwy terenów są fikcyjne, książka oparta jest na bazie rzeczywistych wydarzeń, których uczestnikiem był sam Jones, służąc w armii Stanów Zjednoczonych. Zniekształcony opis kampanii na Guadalcanal sprawia, że nie odbieramy wojny jako walki w skali państw czy narodów, lecz koncentrujemy się na przyglądaniu postawom i stanom emocjonalnym indywidualnych bohaterów, postawionych w sytuacji ekstremalnej. Na bazie powieści zrealizowano z wielkim rozmachem, w gwiazdorskiej obsadzie (Penn, Clooney, Travolta) jeden z najlepszych filmów wojennych jakie kiedykolwiek powstały . Kto zna książkę ten wie, że jest lepsza. Trudno się od niej oderwać. Serdecznie polecamy! Jest tylko cienka czerwona linia między rozsądkiem a szaleństwem. (stare powiedzenie ze Środkowego Zachodu).

Im Jahre 1942 fällt der dritten Kompanie im Pazifik die schwerste Aufgabe zu: Sie soll eine Hügelkette - den tanzenden Elefanten - auf der Insel Guadalcanal erobern. Unerbittlich beschreibt James Jones die Qualen des Urwaldkrieges, die Hölle im feuchtheißen Dschungel, die ausweglose Schlacht. Ein mitreißender Roman über falsche Ehre und echte Kameradschaft. Der Roman wurde soeben von Terrence Malick mit George Clooney, John Travolta, Sean Penn, John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, Nick Nolte, Bill Pullman u. v. a. verfilmt. 'Zweifellos ein Meisterwerk. Die Insel der Verdammten gehört zu den besten Romanen, die je über den Zweiten Weltkrieg geschrieben wurden.' Chicago Daily News

The Psychology of Diversity presents a captivating social-psychological study of diversity, the obstacles confronting it, and the benefits it provides. The text considers how historical, political, economic, and societal factors shape the way people think about and respond to diversity.

Verdammt in alle Ewigkeit erzählt die Geschichte des Soldaten Prewitt, der kurz vor dem japanischen Angriff auf Pearl Harbour nach Hawaii kommt und brutal geschunden wird, weil er glaubt, auch als Soldat noch gewisse Rechte zu haben, nach einer Messerstecherei verwundet bei einer Freundin untertaucht und schließlich, mehr aus Versehen, erschossen wird. Mit der Veröffentlichung seines Romanerstlings 'From Here to Eternity' entfesselte James Jones 1951 heftige Diskussionen in Amerika. Dort, wie auch in Deutschland, wo der S. Fischer Verlag das Buch noch im selben Jahr herausbrachte, übertraf die schonungslos realistische Schilderung des Soldatenlebens bei weitem das Maß, das der Leser in jenen Jahren vertrug. Aber die erzählerischen Qualitäten von 'Verdammt in alle Ewigkeit' verhalfen dem Buch zu seinem Siegeszug um die Welt, auf dem ihm wenig später der Film folgte. Heute zählt der Roman zu den Klassikern der amerikanischen Nachkriegsliteratur.

As James Jones waited for his heart operation and began to recover from it, he had the Psalms with him day and night, and these are reflections based on each occasion the word 'heart' is used in the Psalms (70 times). These reflections invite the reader to make a new relationship with the psalms.
