This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome to the captivating journey through the life, triumphs, and enduring legacy of one of history's most remarkable figures, Julius Caesar.

Julius Caesar, a name that resonates through the corridors of time, was not just a historical figure; he was a force of nature, a brilliant military leader, a skilled politician, and a visionary whose influence shaped the course of history. From his humble beginnings to his ascent as a dominant force in the Roman Republic, Caesar's journey is one of triumphs and challenges, victories and defeats, all woven into the fabric of an empire on the brink of transformation.Voir livre
In Parkinson’s & Recreation, Dennis takes the reader from the devastating and dreaded moment of hearing the words, “Mr. Jernigan. You have Parkinson’s Disease,” to the instances of discovering unexpected moments of joy and peace as he came to terms with the diagnosis and symptoms he’s lived with for over four years now.

In a nutshell, Parkinson’s and Recreation is the story of a man who decided to change his attitude and perspective when faced with a dreaded circumstance. It’s the story of a man who has chosen to live life fully…and die well. A warning to the most pious readers: Jernigan shares a few stories teetering very near the boundaries of good taste (to almost bawdy in nature) but all with the hope of showing the good, the bad, and the humorous as honestly as possible.Voir livre
A hopeful memoir about adapting when life doesn't go to plan, redefining family, and creating your own path. One afternoon, Emma Nadler gets a call from her daughter's doctor that changes her life forever. Faced with the realities of raising a child with a rare genetic condition, Nadler must confront her preconceptions of motherhood and her perfectionistic beliefs. Nadler—who also happens to be a psychotherapist—offers a rare window into the unconventional ways she and her family adapt to their improbable path. Every relationship in her life—with herself, her husband, children, friends, and even clients—is reimagined as she navigates the heartbreak and hilarity of her daily life. As she and her husband join the 53 million caregivers in the US, Nadler wrestles to belong in a society that devalues both caregivers and people with disabilities. She challenges the scripts that mothers should be martyrs, or that self-sacrifice is a necessary component of love. Nadler illustrates the complexity, grief, and joy of living an unexpected life, all with the wisdom of a therapist, the heart of a loving parent, and the ingenuity of a queer woman who refuses to be shackled by cultural expectations.Voir livre

A chance to delve into the minds of children and adults among the ruined streets of post-war London. The streets were our playground with not a car in sight, where we played all day. On Sundays, bugle boy bands marched past us and in the evening the military band raised our spirits. Life was never dull. Our parents took us to the zoo and for boat rides on the Serpentine.Voir livre
Soldiering is a serious, frequently bloody business. That aspect has been documented endlessly. But behind the blood, thunder and de-humanising aspects of conflict are people – people in uniform and people supporting them. All of them have personal feelings and aspirations and they experience the humdrum assortment of daily occurrences that closely match those of their counterparts in civil society. Those aspects of their lives are not widely reported, or appreciated, and it is on those that this book has its focus. 'Life Wasn't Boring' relates the life, times, successes, failures and, most importantly, the personal inter-actions and loves of a professional infantry officer and his family, over more than a third of the century that was his service. Some parts are as serious as can be expected of a military account. Other parts might surprise, entertain and even amuse the reader. Together they hold up a mirror to reveal the human side of being a soldier.Voir livre
