Summary

In "A History of the Great War," Arthur Conan Doyle delves into the monumental events of World War I, capturing the complexities and human experiences intertwined with the conflict. Spanning six illustrated volumes, the work is notable for its meticulous research and compelling narrative style that merges historical analysis with vivid storytelling. Doyle employs maps and plans to enhance readers' understanding of the war's geography and strategic movements, placing the reader in the heart of the battlefront while documenting the political and social ramifications of the war across various nations. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, renowned primarily for creating the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes, possessed a profound commitment to social issues and historical accuracy, which is reflected in this extensive work. His experiences as a physician serving in the war and his keen interest in military strategy greatly informed this comprehensive history. Doyle sought not just to chronicle events but to elucidate the moral questions posed by the war, drawing on his personal convictions as a social commentator of his time. This seminal work is highly recommended for scholars and history enthusiasts alike, as it offers an indispensable perspective on one of the most significant events in modern history. Doyle's blend of narrative flair and scholarly research presents a moving tribute to those who lived through the Great War, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the war's legacy.

    A practical guide to help authors authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than their own. Do you have the tools to authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than your own? It’s not a subject that’s generally taught in creative writing programs, and there are so few craft books and online resources on the subject. Even if you can take a seminar, class, or workshop, there’s nothing like having an easy-to-understand book on hand to provide guidance and insight every time you craft characters with historically marginalized identities. In Writing an Identity Not Your Own, award-winning author Alex Temblador discusses one of the most contentious topics in creative writing: crafting a character whose identity is historically marginalized. What is “identity,” and how do unconscious biases and bias blocks impact and influence what we write? What is intersectionality? You’ll learn about identity terms, stereotypes, and tropes, and receive genre-specific advice related to various identities to consider when writing different races and ethnicities, sexual and romantic orientations, gender identities, disabilities, nationalities, and more. Through writing strategies, exercises, and literary excerpts, writers will gain a clearer understanding on how misrepresentations and harmful portrayals can appear in storylines, dialogue, and characterization. Alex will guide writers from the brainstorming phase through the editing process so they can gain a full understanding of the complexities of writing other identities and why it’s important to get them right.

    What do you do when you lose more than you can afford, when the stable bridge you’ve been crossing suddenly gives way and you find yourself plummeting into a chasm of fear and self-doubt? 
    After losing a dear friend and fellow firefighter to suicide, Steve is left shaken and leaves the fire service forever – or so he thinks. While trying to decide what his future holds, Steve takes us through his past. From Firefighter to Assistant Chief, a winning lottery ticket to a twist of fate, a series of strange health problems and devastating injury, Steve pulls us along the dizzying journey with him. And just when we think it can’t possibly get any worse for him, he leads us to the edge. And then the healing begins. 
    Although a sequel to his first book, The Unbroken, Extinguished is a story of its own, stranger than fiction, and another incredible example of Steve’s willingness to lay everything on the line to help anyone suffering from mental illness. At the same time, this isn’t a book just for them, or just for first responders. It is powerfully human and will resonate with everyone who reads it.
