  Inspired by conversations with many veterans following the publication of her grandfather's wartime memoir, Victoria Panton-Bacon has gathered a moving collection of stories. These are stories of bravery, sadness, horror, doubt, and longing, from ordinary people who lived under the long shadows cast by World War II and whose young lives were changed irrevocably. These were the young of a different age when work for most began at fourteen, and the world conspired to thrust them into the jaws of conflict. For them, war, the ultimate leveler, threw them into remarkable times, whether they were a merchant seaman, army officer, pilot, young Jewish girl, code breaker, or Home Guard recruit. This remarkable collection of experiences also includes the heart-stopping account of Noble Frankland, director of the Imperial War Museum (1960-1982). From one extraordinary story to the next, this is an important and immersive book.

  The Arab Spring - Escalations...

  The Arab Springs stands as one of the most transformative events of the 21st century, reshaping the political and social landscapes of the Middle East and North Africa. Triggered in December 2010 by the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the movement quickly spread across the region, igniting a wave of protests, uprisings, and revolutions. These events brought to the forefront the widespread grievances of millions—grievances rooted in authoritarian governance, economic stagnation, and social inequalities that had long plagued the Arab world.  
    
  At its core, the Arab Springs was a collective demand for dignity, freedom, and justice. It represented a breaking point for societies that had endured decades of political repression and corruption. While each country experienced the uprisings differently, common threads emerged: youthful populations yearning for change, the powerful role of social media in organizing protests, and a shared sense of solidarity among citizens who saw an opportunity to challenge entrenched regimes.  
    
  The revolutions also revealed deep-seated structural issues within the region. Economic hardship, unemployment, and a lack of political freedoms were not new problems, but the Arab Springs forced governments and the international community to confront these issues in an unprecedented way. Moreover, the movement challenged the perception of Arab societies as passive or unchangeable, showcasing the determination and resilience of ordinary people striving for their rights.

  Sun Tzŭ on The Art of War

  Sun Tzu

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and Narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  Few works in human history have shaped the course of warfare, strategy, and leadership as profoundly as The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Written over 2,500 years ago during China’s Warring States period, this timeless treatise transcends its origins as a military manual, offering wisdom that applies not only to warfare but to politics, business, diplomacy, and personal growth. 
  At its core, The Art of War is a philosophy of strategy—one that emphasizes intelligence, adaptability, and the mastery of conflict through knowledge rather than brute force. Sun Tzu teaches that victory is not won by strength alone, but by the ability to anticipate, deceive, and maneuver with precision. His principles—such as knowing when to engage, when to retreat, and how to use terrain, morale, and deception to one’s advantage—have been studied by generals, statesmen, and leaders across cultures and eras. 
  Beyond the battlefield, Sun Tzu’s insights resonate in today’s world of business, competition, and negotiation. His maxims on leadership, preparation, and calculated decision-making remain as relevant in the boardroom as they were in the war camps of ancient China. The idea that “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting” reflects the wisdom of those who understand that true power lies in the mind rather than in force. 
  Yet, The Art of War is not merely a book of tactics; it is a study of human nature. Sun Tzu recognized that success comes from understanding people—their fears, ambitions, and motivations. His principles teach us that strategy is not just about defeating an opponent but about creating conditions where conflict can be avoided altogether. 
  May this work serve as a beacon of strategic wisdom, reminding us that the greatest victories are those won with knowledge, patience, and foresight.

  Humility - The Path to True...

  Humility is often misunderstood as weakness or self-deprecation, but in truth, it is a powerful and essential quality that can transform individuals and their relationships. At its core, humility is the ability to recognize and accept one's limitations while maintaining a genuine respect for others. It involves an understanding that we are all connected and that our worth is not determined by our achievements or status, but by our ability to serve others and contribute to the greater good. 
  True humility begins with self-awareness. It’s about knowing your strengths and weaknesses without letting either define you. Humble individuals don’t boast about their accomplishments or dismiss their abilities. Instead, they are grounded in their reality, understanding that personal growth and development are ongoing processes. Humility isn’t a state of perfection, but an attitude of openness, learning, and growth. 
  In its essence, humility is an antidote to arrogance and pride. It reminds us that no matter how successful or skilled we become, we are never above others. Humility invites us to listen before speaking, to help before expecting help, and to learn from everyone we encounter. It’s about putting the needs of others before our own desires and understanding that true greatness lies not in what we achieve but in how we uplift those around us.

  What has changed in the workplace? Everything.The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.Hobsbawm draws on her extensive networks in business, academia, and entrepreneurship across  generations to offer new ideas about how to handle hybrid working, as well as provides deep insight into how the way we work is being transformed by larger issues such as community, hierarchy, bias, identity, and security. The Nowhere Office describes a unique moment in the history of work which, if understood and handled correctly, can provide a springboard for the biggest transformational change in the workplace for a century: something better, more meaningful, and more workable for everyone.
