Bomb Group - The Eighth Air...

Mike Peters, Paul Bingley

"The authors do a good job using the diaries, interviews, and books written by group members to convey a vivid—sometimes too vivid—picture of war at its most elemental." —The Journal of the Air Force Historical FoundationIn February 1942, a reconnaissance party of United States Army Air Force officers arrived in England. Firmly wedded to the doctrine of daylight precision bombing, they believed they could help turn the tide of the war in Europe. In the months that followed, they formed the Eighth Air Force – an organization that grew at an astonishing rate. To accommodate it, almost seventy airfields were hastily built across the eastern counties of England. At the heart of the Eighth Air Force was its bombardment groups, each equipped with scores of heavily armed, four-engine bombers. These Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses and Consolidated B-24 Liberators were soon punching through the enemy's defenses to bomb targets vital to its war effort. They were crewed by thousands of young American airmen, most of whom were volunteers. This book tells the story of just one "Bomb Group" – the 381st, which crossed the Atlantic in May 1943. Arriving at RAF Ridgewell on the Essex-Suffolk border, its airmen quickly found themselves thrown into the hazardous and attritional air battle raging in the skies over Europe. The 381st’s path led from its formation in the Texan desert, to its 297th and final bombing mission deep into the heart of Hitler’s Third Reich. This is the remarkable story of one group and the part it played in the strategic bombing campaign of "The Mighty Eighth."

The Big Teal

Simon Holmes à Court

‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.

Beyond Ourselves

Bhagya Wijethunga

A Book That Will Change the Way You See the World
What if everything you've been taught is only part of the story? What if the truth lies not in what we already know, but in what we dare to imagine? This book invites you to think beyond boundaries—to look past what science alone can explain, and open your mind to deeper questions about life, human nature, and the world we share.
Written in clear, everyday language, this isn't a book for scholars or specialists—it's a book for everyone. For the curious, the thoughtful, and the open-minded. For those who sense there's more to life than routines and rules. It challenges you to reflect, to rethink, and to rediscover what it means to be human.
This book begins with science—its triumphs, its insights, and the way it shapes our lives. But it doesn't stop there. It leads into something far more profound: a conversation about values, belief, society, and our place in a living, breathing universe. It asks not only what we know, but how we live—and whether we are living with awareness, responsibility, and compassion.
Inside, you'll find:A message that speaks to all of humanity, across belief systems and borders.A journey that connects scientific understanding with emotional truth and spiritual insight.Personal reflections, honest thoughts, and a call to awaken your own sense of purpose.
You don't need to agree with everything inside. You just need the courage to explore. To read with an open heart. And to let the ideas meet your own life in whatever way they will.
This book is for seekers, not followers. For those who aren't satisfied with easy answers, and who believe that real change starts with the way we think.

Delving into some of the largest questions in the genre—How does a writer find meaningful subject matter beyond the confines of their life? How are scraps of history transformed into a fully formed narrative?—Barrett explores how she came to create some of her beloved works and explores lessons gleaned from the work of such masters of historical fiction as Toni Morrison, Leo Tolstoy, Hilary Mantel, and Colm Tóibín. Candid and elegant, Dust and Light is the perfect book for anyone who loves reading fiction set in the past, as well as for anyone aspiring to write it.
