Paolo Pellegrin was on assignment for the New York Times and Newsweek in Lebanon during the conflict in July and August 2006. This onslaught saw one of the most indiscriminate and relentless attacks on a civilian population of recent times. Along with diary entries by Scott Anderson, the journalist he was travelling with, Double Blind speaks of the hidden attacked from afar and above by the unseen, whilst civilians lost everything. Pellegrin has since been awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal, the W. Eugene Smith Fund and was awarded first prize in the General News category of World Press Photo for his work covering the conflict.

WINNER OF Pictures of the Year International Award 2008 for BEST USE BOOK

The onslaught in Lebanon during the months of July and August 2006 resulted in not only the deaths of over 600 Lebanese civilians but also an almost complete destruction of the country's infrastructure: schools, roads, hospitals and homes. In total Hezbollah launched 2500 rockets into Israel, resulting in the deaths of 36 Israeli civilians, and the wounding of hundreds more.

Paolo Pellegrin (Magnum Photos) and journalist Scott Anderson were in Lebanon during the conflict, on assignment for The New York Times. Pellegrin's photographs intimately capture the fear and powerlessness of the Lebanese population in the face of the ceaseless Israeli air strikes, revealing the terror and despair of families and friends witnessing the deaths of their loved ones, whilst around them their homes were destroyed. In particular Pellegrin also documented the aftermath of the attack on the village of Qana in southern Lebanon; many of the victims children, his photographs reveal the immense suffering of the civilians involved.

Alongside his work exposing the consequences of indiscriminate attacks on a civilian population is a 3000-word account by Scott Anderson, who accompanied Pellegrin in Lebanon. Pellegrin and Anderson were both wounded in a missile attack by an Israeli drone, which fired on their vehicle as they traveled through the city of Tyre. Along with the civilians of southern Lebanon, they were stranded for weeks under heavy bombing and air strikes by the IDF. The attack at Qana, also the second one to strike the village in living memory, soon after prompted the singer Patti Smith to respond in the form of a song, entitled 'Qana', the words and music of which form her contribution to the book.

Great Overnight Protection With Minor Fit Issues
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 50
These Huggies Overnites work really well for keeping my child dry through the night. They absorb a lot and significantly reduced overnight leaks compared to regular diapers. The material also feels soft and comfortable, and I like that they don’t have a strong chemical smell. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the fit seems slightly bulky, especially under pajamas, and occasionally the tabs don’t stay perfectly secure after a lot of movement during sleep. Overall though, they’re reliable and definitely one of the better overnight diaper options I’ve tried.

Sleep Well!
I ordered the 5 mg tablets by accident (meant to order 2.5), but decided not to send them back. I am glad I kept them, because the 5 mg seems to work more effectively for me than the 2.5mg did. I don't need to use them every night anymore, and think it may be that I am generally sleeping better than I did before beginning the 5 mg dosage. As we age, our bodies don't produce as much melatonin on their own, and I have found that the Source Naturals peppermint melatonin works best for me. I have been using this brand for over 10 years now, and will continue now that I have switched to the 5mg dosage. The melatonin doesn't keep me asleep, but seems to help me fall asleep and sleep more peacefully once I am asleep. It is a natural, non-addicting supplement, and I would much rather use something natural than something narcotic or habit forming. I place one tablet under my tongue at bedtime and let it slowly dissolve. It takes about 10 minutes to dissolve, and usually I am almost asleep by the time it has vanished. A good night’s sleep makes for a happy and productive day following.

It’s what our bodies naturally produce but as we age we produce less
Great Natural product. Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland and as we age we produce less causing insomnia day time sleeping. You will be tired and cycle is disrupted. You take about an hour before going to bed & ready for bed. Get peaceful and let it begin to work. Nothing is abra kadabra.

Right dose and comfortable with this brand.
We have used this brand for years. I like the peppermint sub-lingual more than the swallow-whole, but I am also looking for immediate effectiveness more than timed release to last the night. This is a good product if you need something gentle to help stay asleep, and it is thought to help regulate hypnic and cluster headache events while sleeping.
