  Judith D. Schwartz

  I am a longtime freelance writer with wide-ranging experience with books, magazines, newspapers, and a variety of writing and editing clients. I’ve written articles for women’s magazines, co- and ghost-written books with therapists and doctors as well as a couple of my own. I’ve trained as a therapist and written a novel based on my grandmother’s psychoanalyst who was a member of Freud’s inner circle in Vienna. (It’s just a few tweaks away from sending out.)
  ​
  About four years ago my work took a different direction: I wrote an article on the then fledgling Transition movement, and the reporting turned my thinking upside down. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, I started asking questions like, “What is money?” Each inquiry led to more report

  Wilfred Owen

  Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the goodreads data base.
  
  Wilfred Owen was a defining voice of British poetry during the First World War, renowned for his stark portrayals of trench warfare and gas attacks. Deeply influenced by Siegfried Sassoon, whom he met while recovering from shell shock, Owen’s work departed from the patriotic war verse of the time, instead conveying the brutal reality of combat and the suffering of soldiers. Among his best-known poems are Dulce et Decorum est, Anthem for Doomed Youth, and Strange Meeting—many of which were published only after his death.
  Born in 1893 in Shropshire, Owen developed an early passion for poetry and religion, both of which would shape his artistic and moral worl

  Leo Tolstoy

  Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and soc
