  Frances Hodgson Burnett's favorite theme in her fiction was the reversal of fortune, and she herself knew extremes of poverty and wealth. Born in Manchester in 1849, she emigrated with her family to Tennessee because of the financial problems caused by the cotton famine. From a young age she published her stories to help the family make ends meet. Only after she married did she publish Little Lord Fauntleroy that shot her into literary stardom. 
   
   
   
  On the surface, Frances' life was extremely successful: hosting regular literary salons in her home and travelling frequently between properties in the United Kingdom and America. But behind the colorful personal and social life, she was a complex and contradictory character. She lost both parents by her twenty-first birthday, Henry James called her "the most heavenly of women" although avoided her; prominent people admired her and there were many friendships as well as an ill-advised marriage to a much younger man that ended in heartache. Her success was punctuated by periods of depression, in one instance brought on by the tragic loss of her eldest son to consumption. 
   
   
   
  Ann Thwaite creates a sympathetic but balanced and eye-opening biography of the woman who has enchanted numerous generations of children.

  Cryptography and the World Wars:...

  World War I was the first major conflict in which new electronic means of transmitting and receiving messages became a major factor in political and military operations. The electric telegraph was developed in the first half of the 19th century, and by 1850, there were several telegraph companies around the world providing a service that allowed virtually instantaneous communication over long distances. This was a major breakthrough, but the telegraph depended on the availability of wires to transmit messages between stations, meaning that if these wires were broken or damaged, communications were cut off. 
  	Of course, this came with a fundamental problem: radio, telephone, and telegraph messages could be intercepted by the enemy, potentially giving them notice of impending operations. To protect these electronic messages from being read by the enemy, armies began to use codes and ciphers to disguise the meaning of messages. Teams were created to devise effective codes and ciphers, and these were quickly followed by other teams whose role was to attempt to break the codes and ciphers used by the other side. As a result, a secret war began, almost completely hidden from public view, as the belligerents devised complex ways of hiding the real meaning of their own messages while simultaneously attempting to understand those of the enemy.  
  	During the Second World War, cryptography suddenly became a significant factor in warfare because of mid-20th century advances in communications technology. With radios small and common enough to be fitted into most individual vehicles and readily carried in a man-portable form, information and orders flowed from supreme headquarters to individual squad leaders, tanks, and soldiers at the front and back again.  
  Despite the power of the new technology and its metamorphic effects on warfare, cryptography's story during World War II remained a very human one.

  “It’s just grief,” they’ll tell you, “it will pass. We all lose someone at some point in our lives.” 
  But the death of a partner is so much more than “just grief.” It’s a different kind of grief — the kind that permanently shifts our perspective on life.  
  It’s stressing over what to do with their belongings and feeling anxious when you hear the doorbell ring. It’s tossing and turning to the memory of their last breath and pondering the many decisions you could have made to prevent their death.  
  As someone who’s been through it, Jessica Ayers understands how crushing partner loss is. In a matter of seconds, she went from nursing her 3-day-old son to feeling for her dead husband's pulse.  
  In Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? Jessica explores the darkest corners of grief that emerge after the loss of a partner. She writes with extreme vulnerability about the unforeseen moments of trauma, grief, and anger we encounter and offers first-hand advice on how to adequately face them.  
  With expert contributions from two grief therapists, Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? examines life after loss and offers a realistic approach to finding a new normal after enduring the most unimaginable pain.  
  Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? is for anyone who’s lost a romantic partner to death and those who support them. With this book’s insight, you can learn to stop fighting grief as something to move on from and start embracing it as something we must live with forever.
