Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II BiographyOn April 21, 1926, at 2.40 a.m., Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, a member of the House of Windsor, was born. The Caesarean section was used to birth her.She would have been a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha if she had been born a decade earlier.However, George V was inspired to alter the family name to Windsor because of anti-German sentiment during the First World War.Elizabeth, along with her younger sister, received a home education. Their beloved governess, Marion Crawford, or Crawfie as she became known, taught them many of the subjects.The governess gave the royal daughters her undivided attention and even organized a pack of guides for them so they could interact with kids their own age.She had been hand-picked by the Queen Mother and appeared to have the same disregard for academics as the royal household.Instead, Crawfie made sure that her charges saw some aspects of ordinary life that other girls their age would encounter, to the extent that she could (which wasn't particularly far).This includes a trip to London Zoo and a ride on the London Underground.Crawfie remained a confidante for the girls as they grew into adulthood. She remained close to the girls despite being married, having a meager pension, and owning a cottage.Elizabeth and Margaret frequently paid their former governess a visit.Elizabeth, who had just gotten married, once unexpectedly showed up at the cottage with Philip in tow. Philip fixed the faulty boiler in the home as Crawfie hurriedly made a pot of tea.The former governess was convinced to write a book on her time spent with the royal princesses, but things took a turn for the worst when the book was serialized in the American press.All ties to the family were severed, and she was forced to leave her cottage. Doing a Crawfie came to describe taking advantage of the family for financial benefit in royal slang.In 1988, Crawfie passed away in a nursing home in Aberdeenshire, widowed and alone.The malignancy had taken the 78-year-life. old's In a touching turn of events, she gave her solicitor the order to give the Queen a box full of sentimental items like photos, letters, and souvenirs. The royal archives contain these.According to Crawfie's book, which today can only be seen as a positive representation of her charges, the young Elizabeth was responsible and organized.She had her own mind, although Winston Churchill recalled that she was very clever. Both recognized her sense of obligation, which would follow her up until the present.Due to the fact that Elizabeth was third in line to the throne and was not expected to become queen, her birth had barely generated a modicum of popular curiosity.The Prince of Wales, her uncle, was first in line, and any offspring he had would pass her in the line of succession.Edward did actually succeed to the kingdom following the passing of her grandpa in 1936. Here is a Preview of What You Will Get:⁃ A Detailed Introduction⁃ A Comprehensive Chapter by Chapter Biography⁃ Etc.Get a copy of this biography and learn about the book.

Galileo - A Biography of an...

Mitch Stokes

We learn about life through the lives of others. Their experiences, their trials, their adventures become our schools, our chapels, our playgrounds. Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church through prose as accessible and concise as it is personal and engaging. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. Whether the person is Galileo, William F. Buckley, John Bunyan, or Isaac Newton, we are now living in the world that they created and understand both it and ourselves better in the light of their lives. Their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires uniquely illuminate our shared experience.
HERO OR HERETIC? GENIUS OR BLASPHEMER?
It's no mystery how profound a role Galileo played in the Scientific Revolution. Less explored is the Italian innovator's sincere, guiding faith in God. In this exhaustively researched biography that reads like a page-turning novel, Mitch Stokes draws on his expertise in philosophy, logic, math, and science to attune modern ears with Galileo's controversial genius.
Emerging from the same Florentine milieu that produced Dante, da Vinci, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, Amerigo Vespuci, Galileo questioned with a persistence that spurred his world toward an unabating era of discovery. Stokes confronts the myth that Galileo's stance on heliocentricity stood astride a church vs. science divide and explores his calculations for the dimensions of Dante's hell, his understanding of motion, and his invention of the pendulum clock.
To read this volume is to journey through Galileo's remarkable life: from his inquisitive childhood to his dying days, when, although blind and decrepit, he soldiered on, dictating mathematical thoughts and mentoring young proteges.

The Life of Charlotte Bronte...

Elizabeth Gaskell

Part of the Hero Classics series 
“As far as she could see, her life was ordained to be lonely, and she must her nature to her life, and, if possible, bring the two into harmony. When she could employ herself in fiction, all was comparatively well. The characters were her companions in the quiet hours, which she spent utterly alone, unable often to stir out of doors for many days together.” 
When Charlotte Bronte’s father asked Gaskell to write his daughter’s biography, his main concern was to preserve the legacy of Charlotte and present an authorised take on her life as opposed to the speculations and gossip in the yellow papers. Gaskell and Charlotte had met on just a few occasions, so the biographer had to do profound research to actually delve into her mysterious life. From Charlotte’s own notes to various letters she had access to, Gaskell is seen mapping through a range of sources to find out the truth of her life. Right from the first pages of the text, we can distinctly spot Gaskell’s artistic infusions of metaphors and the poetic descriptions of the setting as well as doing justice with the life of Charlotte Bronte. This biography is all that is needed for Bronte’s readers as well as the admirers of inventive stylistic takes in non-fictional writing. 
Upon its publication in 1857, The Life of Charlotte Bronte quite predictably caused controversy, so much so that the biographer was threatened with a legal action. Exciting exploration into Charlotte’s life and the criticism which followed, this makes it a must read for Bronte students and fans.
