The Life and Times of Akhenaton Pharaoh of Egypt - Illustrated Edition

Arthur E. P, Brome Weigall

Sinopsis

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.

Bom Bom - A Wacky Hippie Trail...

Mark A Tesoriero

Bom Bom - A Wacky Hippie Trail Adventure is a coming of age road trip punctuated by the music and politics of the seventies. A story of youthful hedonism, love, self-discovery and wild adventures through amazing landscapes that only a few were brave or stupid enough to embrace.
"In the 1960s and 1970s tens of thousands of young Australians headed overseas on “the big adventure”. Some ended up in “Kangaroo Valley” in London drinking vast quantities of Fosters and being immortalised by Barry Humphries in the form of the innocent abroad, Bazza McKenzie. Others took various hippie trails and, although they little knew what they were doing, went on a complex journey of self-discovery.
So why have we never had a really good account of these wild adventures which, with a bit of luck, were always stories about sex and drugs and rock’n’roll. I suspect the problem was Hunter S. Thompson. When someone writes a book like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas the bar is set so high … and imitation is a fatal flaw. This omission has now been corrected.
In “Bom Bom” Mark Tesoriero has written the best, and most fascinating, account of a remarkable adventure and a remarkable life. Here, told in an easy conversational style without pretension and without any attempt at “gonzo” style writing, is the story of a young Sydney man who headed out with a friend to experience the hippie trail. It is a story of friendships made; of loves and dalliances along the way; and of adventures in the eternal quest for good drugs and lots of fun.
Don’t underestimate it: this is an important book. It is a slice of life, experienced with great joy and intensity, which many experienced but very few have written about with such clear-eyed honesty. Mark Tesoriero makes a mockery of that old cliché that “If you remember the ‘60s, you weren’t really there”. He remembers everything … and he definitely was there." Bruce Elder

A Smack at the Boche - WW2...

Johnny Parker

"I'm not a coward, but when 11 inch shells come screaming at you, well I know why the Navy supply two pairs of pants." 
If you like Max Hastings and World War Two naval history then you will love this autobiography which gives an easy to read insider view of life in the Royal Navy during the war. 
Ronnie Turner had set his sights on a career with the Royal Navy and like Ant Middleton, he wouldn't stop until he'd achieved his goal of having 'a smack at the boche'. 
His quest plucked him from his home in Liverpool and led him to the exotic temptations of Rio, freezing Falkland storms and searching for a heavily armed German raider in a rowing boat with six scousers and a padre. 
Drawn from Ronnie's illegal war diary and illustrated with never seen before photographs of life on board a Royal Navy heavy cruiser, this enjoyable tale of pocket battleships, torpedoed crews and Admiral Harwood's tattoo's, all sprinkled with Spike Milligan like humour, make this a story you won't want to put down.

Jacob DeShazer - Forgive Your...

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Three thousand feet above China, it was Jake's turn to jump. He slid his pistol, knife, and ration packets into the pockets of his leather jacket and edged toward the open hatch of the B-25 bomber. He checked the tension on the harness of his parachute, made sure the handle of the ripcord was free, and then began lowering himself out of the hatch and into the darkness. One of the famous Doolittle Raiders who first attacked Japan after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Jacob DeShazer knew his one-way mission was dangerous. Indeed, it led to his capture as a prisoner of war. Beaten, malnourished, and alone in his cell, Jacob was given a Bible - and far away from home, this American soldier became a Christian. After the war, Jacob returned to Japan and served his former enemy for thirty years as a missionary. His testimony of forgiveness and reconciliation - of love over hate - inspires a powerful gospel message for our lives today.
