  From acclaimed author and playwright Hanif Kureishi comes an urgent and stunning memoir about rebuilding a new life in the wake of devastating physical loss. 
  In late 2022, in Rome, Hanif Kureishi had a fall. When he came to, he realized he could no longer walk. He could do nothing without the help of others and required constant care in a hospital. So began a yearlong odyssey through the medical systems of Rome and Italy, with the hope of somehow being able to return home to his house in London. 
  While confined to a series of hospital wards, he felt compelled to write, but being unable to type or hold a pen, he began to dictate to family members the words that formed in his head—thoughts on his medical condition, but also parenthood, immigration, sex, psychoanalysis, and, of course, writing. The result was an extraordinary series of dispatches from his hospital bed: a diary of a life in pieces, recorded with rare honesty, humor, and verve. 
  Shattered takes these dispatches—edited, expanded, and meticulously interwoven with new writing—and charts both a shattering and a reassembling: a new life born of pain and loss but also animated by new feelings of gratitude, humility, and love.

  'I know that what I've learnt in the past two years will help me for the rest of my life. My hope is that you will see yourself reflected in my own journey, and . . . consider who you will become in this new world of ours. Who we all might become.'
  If you're suffering from a crisis of meaning, you're not alone. In this powerful new book, future strategist John Sanei shares how he found ways to cope with the uncertainty that has been all around us in the past two years. Lockdown meant his career came to a screeching halt. He was living with his parents and then had to battle loneliness until he started to reassess who he was and what he wanted from life.
  Infused with empathy and personal anecdote, Who Do We Become? explores our individual responsibility to evolve into more decent, dynamic versions of ourselves, our businesses and humanity as a whole – especially in times of crisis.
  The book is divided into three sections. In Part 1: ANGUISH, John explores how to courageously mourn the loss of our 'normal' pre-COVID world. Part 2: ABNORMAL, shows us how to understand this new environment and recognise that uncertainty is the new normal. Then, in Part 3: ADVENTURE, John provides a toolkit for us to forge out into the new world, to succeed and recognise the signs of rebirth and renewal.
  Travel with John as he maps out our strange, new world and lays down a path to reframe our thinking, to recognise our discomfort, to survive and thrive.

  Why It's Normal to be a Mistress

  In Why It's Normal to be a Mistress, A.A. Castor offers a provocative exploration of the hidden dimensions of extramarital relationships, challenging the notion that infidelity is simply a moral failing. Drawing on evolutionary biology, cultural history, and personal narratives, Castor reveals how the mistress role has long been shaped by societal pressures, unspoken desires, and the human quest for emotional fulfillment. 
  Far from glamorizing betrayal, this book delves into the complexity of female sexuality and the psychological forces that drive some women to seek connection beyond conventional boundaries. Castor examines how arranged marriages, patriarchal norms, and changing social attitudes have historically paved the way for mistresses to emerge as both subjects of scandal and symbols of empowerment. By tracing these legacies, Why It's Normal to be a Mistress provides a nuanced understanding of why certain women repeatedly choose this path, even when it carries profound emotional and relational consequences. 
  Through empathetic storytelling and rigorous research, Castor dismantles the simplistic judgments that often dominate discussions about infidelity. Instead, the focus is on fostering a deeper awareness of the biological, psychological, and cultural underpinnings that shape human intimacy. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs about fidelity, desire, and self-expression, recognizing that genuine understanding does not equate to moral approval. Ultimately, this book offers a bold invitation to question long-held assumptions, expand our definitions of love and loyalty, and engage in a more honest, compassionate dialogue about the intricate tapestry of human relationships

  Fighter Group - The 352nd...

  From a historian, retired fighter pilot, and combat aviation specialist, “the finest book yet written about the air war over Europe during World War II.” (Air & Space, Smithsonian magazine ) As described by award-winning author Jay A. Stout, the 352nd Fighter Group was one of the Eighth Air Force's most successful fighter units and counted history's two top-scoring P-51 aces among its ranks.  This book—the most comprehensive work ever to cover the actions of a single USAAF fighter unit—details the air actions of not only the group's notable aces, but also the rank-and-file fliers who carried the bulk of the load.  It describes the 352nd’s activities from its formation at the close of 1942, its movement to England and its combat operations flying P-47s and P-51s against the Third Reich. Although the book covers the units actions as a whole, it also follows several pilots in detail.  Rich descriptions of tactics and equipment, personal reflections, letters home, amusing anecdotes and, of course, detailed descriptions of air combat.  Not simply an award-winning historian, Stout draws from his own combat experience as a fighter pilot to make these discussions credible, interesting and real.  Winner of the San Diego Book Award for History. “Stout’s crisp, concise writing powers a narrative that highlights a collection of aviators who destroyed more than 700 German aircraft. The book is certain to take its place with other memorable accounts of European combat.” —John F. Wukovits, author of Black Sheep
