The Avro Lancaster was a four-engined, mid-wing heavy bomber designed and built primarily by the British company Avro (A.V. Roe and Company).Used by the RAF from 1942, along with the Handley Page Halifax, it was the primary strategic bomber of the RAF and other Commonwealth air forces.It was used primarily as a night bomber.The Lancaster, an evolution of the troublesome Avro Manchester, was designed by Roy Chadwick and was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, or, in one version, Bristol Hercules engines.It entered service in 1942 and became the primary heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons of other Commonwealth countries.The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known, became one of the most famous and successful aircraft of the Second World War, dropping 608,612 tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties and laying over 12,000 mines in enemy waters.In all, 7,378 Lancasters were built (excluding prototypes), 430 of which were in Canada, and 3,932 were lost in action.In addition to these, the aircraft derived from the Lancaster can be mentioned: the 202 Manchesters, the Lancastrian transports, the 253 York liners, the 604 Lincolns, which were the final derivative for bombing and the 185 Shackletons for maritime patrol.

    Ask people to describe anxiety and they'll start with the familiar symptoms: racing heart, sweaty palms, difficulty breathing. Anxiety, they might add, is "freaking out," a panic attack, or a frightening loss of control. But anxiety isn't always what we think it is, especially now. Anxiety has become the new normal, constant and simmering, disguising itself in patterns and responses we don't even recognize as anxiety. These patterns include: 
     
     
     
    ● Ruminating and worrying (and mistaking it for problem solving) 
     
      
     
    ● Going global, or seeing the world through an overwhelming, all-or-nothing lens 
     
     
     
    ● Isolating and disconnecting, all too common in our "new normal" 
     
     
     
    ● Creating chaos and "busy-ness" 
     
     
     
    The Anxiety Audit is a guide for us all: with no overly scientific or diagnostic language—just real talk and time-tested tactics from a respected therapist—it is a relatable and practical guide to untangling yourself from the grips of worry and fear. 
     
     
     
    Using stories, real-world examples, and helpful dialogues to retrain the way you think and react, trusted anxiety expert Lynn Lyons helps you recognize the sneaky ways these anxious patterns and cycles of worry take hold in your life.

    Moral philosopher Susan Neiman makes the argument for naming and confronting evil as essential to preserving democracy in an age of demagogues. 
    Call It Evil is a bold reckoning with one of the most fraught words in our moral vocabulary. Philosopher Susan Neiman argues that "evil" is not a relic of the past or a term to be avoided, but a vital lens through which to understand the threats facing democracy today. 
    From the rise of Donald Trump to the erosion of shared values, Neiman examines how our reluctance to name evil has left public life vulnerable to demagogues who twist morality to their own ends. Drawing on history―from fascism to the moral failures of recent US leaders―she shows how the normalization of wrongdoing corrodes trust, distorts justice, and endangers our future. This is a book for listeners who refuse to accept moral confusion as the price of political life, and who believe that confronting evil is the first step toward renewal.
