"To Ralph Schoenstein, his father was the New York version of Superman: 'Not a mild-mannered reporter who put on a cape in a telephone booth, but a commanding editor who could use a telephone booth to get tickets to any sold-out Broadway show.' Father Paul was city editor of Hearst's New York Journal-American, the U.S.'s biggest evening paper through the '40s and '50s. . . . This affectionate memoir evokes a giant of great animal magnetism. . . a filial, funny book that Superman would have loved--and that anyone might admire."--Time Magazine "Enjoy a sneaking look back at the days when newspapering was a game as well as a trade, when the world paraded through a newspaper's door without security passes, when scoop-hungry city editors not only breathed fire, they inhaled, Schoenstein's gem of a memoir brings it all back in a rush of wit and longing."--Columbia Journalism Review "Father and son literature goes back to the Bible . . . but I doubt whether there has ever been anything quite like Schoenstein's memoir. Certainly nothing as funny, warm, and poignant all at once."--Los Angeles Times Publisher's Note: This book was previously titled Citizen Paul: The Story of Father and Son, published in 1978 and out of print for many years. It was an Alternate Selection of the Book of the Month Club.

CAMELIA - Gadis yang telah berjaya menggemparkan negara dengan siri-siri pembunuhan yang berprofil tinggi. Para mangsanya tidak akan pernah tahu bila dan bagaimana gadis ini akan bertindak. Dia kejam, lincah serta tangkas bermain senjata. Motif tindakannya masih kekal misteri di mata pihak berkuasa. Majunya tidak terhalang. Kejamnya tidak tersangka. Geraknya membawa petaka. HAKIM - Egonya sebagai pengawal peribadi berpengalaman telah dicabar. Dendam akibat diperdaya Camelia menjadi motivasi untuknya memburu gadis itu sehingga ke lubang cacing sekalipun. Sekali gus menamatkan riwayat hidup Camelia. Baginya, tiada sekelumit ruang kemaafan yang boleh dibuka untuk gadis itu. Darah hutangnya darah. DATO’ SYUKOR - Mantan pengarah sebuah perkhidmatan rahsia kerajaan. Si tua yang masih berbisa. Kemahirannya dalam selok-belok penyiasatan ditagih pihak berkuasa untuk membantu mereka menghalang petaka yang dibawa Camelia. Dia ialah sang tua yang berbahaya. Apabila matlamatnya sudah ditetapkan, kemaraannya bagaikan helang yang tidak terhalang. Perhitungan antara mereka akan pasti memakan korban. Dengan ini, setiap daripada mereka akan mengeluarkan segala yang ada untuk memenangi pertempuran ini. Kalah mati. Menang hidup! “Membunuh orang bukan satu pekerjaan yang semua orang boleh lakukan. Tak semestinya kau jahat, naluri kau boleh membunuh. Tak semestinya kau baik, kau tidak akan membunuh. Kerana kau belum tiba di garisan pemisah di antara kewarasan dan kegilaan. Pada ketika itu, baru kau kenal siapa diri kau yang sebenarnya.”- Elias Yunus

Winner of the 2021 World Literacy Award! The Morning Tribe is a middle grade action-adventure graphic novel that showcases young people protecting our critical environment and teaches that we are all part of the struggle to save the Earth’s future and sustain the human race. When twins Dawn and Dusk, young members of the Amazon rain forest’s Morning Tribe, discover that their homeland is being threatened by Global Agricorp mercenaries, they gather their friends and rise to the challenge of protecting it. Though they’re naturally smart, strong, and quick, the twins also each have special abilities. Dusk is stronger, faster, and more powerful as the sun sets. Dawn is farther-sighted, a better swimmer, and a gifted acrobat as the sun rises. They are at the height of their power together at midnight. But young Tom Toll, estranged son of Agricorp’s boss, ventures alone into the forest intent on destroying the people of the Morning Tribe, and finds himself in danger. He is saved by Dusk and Dawn and a deep bond forms between them as Tom gains an understanding not only of the forest, but of shared values and a greater global mission. When the trio of youngsters save Tom's father and the Agricorp crew, who are attempting to burn the rain forest, it changes the relationship between father and son into a positive one forever. The Morning Tribe's theme and content derive from the work of the White Feather Foundation created in 2007 by Julian Lennon—recipient of the UNESCO 2020 Cross Cultural and Peace Crafter Award—that has been active in the rain forest for more than a decade. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will go to support the environmental and humanitarian efforts of The White Feather Foundation.
