Summary

Akhenaton or Echnaton was one of the most intriguing personalities in the history of ancient Egypt. He opposed the traditional Egyptian polytheism and introduced the cult of Aton. That was one of the first historically-registered efforts to establish monotheism in the world. His wife Nefertiti was known as one of the most beautiful queens of Egypt, and his close successor was the famous pharaoh Tutankhamen. This book tells about the family of Akhenaton, the religion of Egypt, the birth and the first days of his life, and the main events and activities of his life, like building new cities and the introduction of the new religions and wars.

    THE FINAL VOLUME OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! 
    When Kat Ward put down her pen after finishing the seventh book in her “KERI” series, she considered her mission complete. 
    Nearly twenty years had passed since her therapist originally recommend writing as a means of healing her childhood wounds. And after taking readers on a stomach-twisting journey through her hellish formative years, she was ready to look in the mirror again. 
    However, despite the fact that the series had reached a natural conclusion, reader demand remained insatiable. The epic autobiography that she had never intended to write had reached a worldwide audience, who now wanted to follow Kat’s journey on through adulthood. 
    Humbled by the interest, Kat duly obliged. At this point, she may no longer be the abused child herself, but her journey through hell was still a long way from over… 
    DISCLAIMER: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.

For more than a month, under deafening round-the-clock bombardment, she huddled with little food or water, and no heat, surrounded by groans from the sick and the smell of death. Then she decided to escape.Escape from Mariupol is an incredible tale of a brave young woman’s indomitable will to survive, as told to award-winning author Anne K. Howard.

    Nostradamus - The Prophesies of...

    Michel de Nostredame, referred to as Nostradamus in Latin, was a French astronomer, doctor, and presumed seer mostly known for his work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains supposedly predicting future events. In the year 1555, the book was first released. 
    Since the release of his Les Prophéties, Nostradamus has acquired a very large following of followers who, in addition to the majority of the well-known press, credit him with properly anticipating many essential historic events. 
    Many of scholastic sources deny that Nostradamus had any true super prophetic skills, saying that the connections he made between international events and his quatrains were the repercussion of misconceptions or mistranslations (at times purposeful). 
    These experts also point out that Nostradamus' predictions are usually uncertain, meaning they might be applied to practically anything, and for that reason are unhelpful in developing whether or not the writer has true prophetic powers. 
    In this book, let’s take a look at what he predicted and if any of it came true.

    United with Dad - Fatherhood...

    United With Dad is an emotional tale of football fandom and fatherhood, detailing the agonising final two years of a man’s life while drawing on his love for and memories of Manchester United. 
     
    David Lloyd passed away from metastatic prostate cancer in a nursing home in November 2019. During his heartbreaking decline, he also lived with dementia. His affection for United was ignited by early visits to Old Trafford as a boy in the 1950s. Through the anguish of his final months, his passion for the club never completely faded, even when so many other things did. 
     
    United With Dad is written by David’s son, Simon, who reflects on his father’s life and their relationship, attempting to make sense of why, at such a bleak time, a shared love of a football club should matter so much. 
     
    It is a book that transcends club allegiances, for anyone who knows what it is to devote a large chunk of their life to watching their favourite team beside someone they love, then, one day, realise the time has come to go on doing so without them.
