  Forever England explores Rupert Brooke’s life, from schooldays to the Great War, and in so doing builds a remarkable picture of a long-lost England and a generation’s descent into war. Brooke’s poems emerge dramatically from a tangled web of love, friendship, mental illness and politics. He reveals also the existence of a previously unrecorded love child from a South Seas romance.The WW1 legend was largely brought about by the words of one of his sonnets: ‘If I should die, think only this of me/That there’s some corner of a foreign field that is forever England.’  The poem, and all that it represented, became the focal point of a nation’s grief for its lost youth.Asked why Brooke was special, his Commander-in-Chief answered, "Is it because he was a hero? There were thousands? Is it because he looked a hero? There were a few. Is it because he had genius? There were others. But Rupert Brooke held all these three gifts of the gods in his hands.Forever England is written and narrated by Mike Read.

  The Book of the Law, the holy text that forms the basis of Thelema, was transmitted to Crowley by the entity known as Aiwass in Cairo, on three successive days during April 1904. Acting as a medium, Crowley recorded the communications on hotel notepads and later organized his automatic writing into a short, coherent document. Aiwass/Crowley presents The Book of the Law as an expression of three god-forms in three chapters: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.

  Dear America - Notes of an...

  Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, called “the most famous undocumented immigrant in America,” tackles one of the defining issues of our time in this explosive and deeply personal call to arms. 
  “This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book––at it's core––is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unsettled, unmoored psychological state that undocumented immigrants like myself find ourselves in. This book is about lying and being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to make new ones when you can’t. This book is about constantly hiding from the government and, in the process, hiding from ourselves. This book is about what it means to not have a home. 
  After 25 years of living illegally in a country that does not consider me one of its own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom.” 
  —Jose Antonio Vargas, from Dear America

  The ADHD Crisis - The Shortened...

  People with ADHD die thirteen years younger than their neurotypical peers. 
  Thirteen years of life—lost to a crisis hiding in plain sight. 
  This isn't about distraction or disorganization. It's about the accumulated weight of rejection, misunderstanding, and a world that demands we be someone we're not. It's about suicide rates three times higher than the general population. Chronic stress from constant masking. Substance abuse as self-medication. Accidents from impulsivity that go unaddressed. It's about biological realities the medical system overlooks—inflammation, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic conditions that ravage ADHD bodies differently. 
  The ADHD Crisis: The Shortened Lifespan We're Overlooking exposes why our life expectancy is shorter—and charts a path forward. 
  Amanda M. Houghton reveals the emotional, psychological, and biological factors stealing years from ADHD lives. This book calls ADHDers to radical self-acceptance and unconditional self-love. It celebrates the extraordinary beauty of ADHD minds. It equips loved ones to truly understand us. And it provides HR departments and educational institutions with concrete strategies for life-saving systemic change. 
  The crisis is real. The call to action is urgent. 
  It's time to stop overlooking—and start saving—ADHD lives.

  Our Last Best Act - Planning For...

  As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
   
   
   
  With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
   
   
   
  In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.
