  The author of Battle for Paris 1815 examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.   From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon’s personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.   Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision. The author has collected copies of almost all the surviving documents relating to the Guard, which includes a vast amount of material regarding the issuing of dress items, in some instances down to company level.   This information is supported by an unrivaled collection of illustrations, many of which have never been published before, as well as images of original items of equipment held in museums and private collections across the globe. In addition, the renowned military artist, Keith Rocco, has produced a series of unique paintings commissioned exclusively for this book.   This glorious book is, and will remain, unsurpassed as the standard work on the clothing and equipment of the Imperial Guard, and will not only be invaluable to historians, but also reenactors, wargamers and modelers. It is one of the most important publications ever produced on this most famous of military formations.

  Do you constantly play out conversations, scenarios, and outcomes in your head… before they even happen?
   
  You rehearse what you’ll say. You prepare for every possibility. You try to get it right in advance.
   
  And still… it never feels like enough.
   
  This audiobook explores the hidden pattern behind mental rehearsing—and why your mind keeps doing it even when it exhausts you.
   
  Because this isn’t just overthinking. It’s your mind trying to create safety in an uncertain world.
   
  Inside, you’ll discover:
  
   
  Why you mentally rehearse conversations, decisions, and future scenarios
  
   
  The deeper fear driving the need to “pre-live” everything
  
   
  How over-preparing creates pressure, not confidence
  
   
  What this pattern is costing your presence, energy, and relationships
  
   
  Why letting go feels unsafe—and what your mind is trying to protect
  
  
   
  This is not about forcing yourself to “stop thinking.” It’s about understanding the pattern so clearly that it begins to loosen.
   
  If you feel stuck in your head, constantly preparing for life instead of living it—this audiobook will help you see why.

  City on Fire - A Boyhood in Aligarh

  'An intimate new memoir about growing up amid everyday communalism' - The Hindu 
   
  Zeyad Masroor Khan was four years old when he realized that an innocent act of clicking a switch near a window overlooking the street could trigger a riot. As the distant thud of a crowd grew closer and calls for murder rent the air, he got his first taste of growing up in Upar Kot, a Muslim ghetto in Aligarh. Khan's world was far-removed from the Aligarh of popular imagination-of poets, tehzeeb and the intellectual corridors of the Aligarh Muslim University. His was a city where serpentine lanes simmered with violence, homes fervently prayed to dispel the omnipresent fear of a family member turning up dead, and the soft breeze that blew over crowded terraces carried rumours of a bloodthirsty mob on the prowl.  
  In his coming-of-age memoir, Khan writes, with searing honesty and raw power, about the undercurrents of religious violence and the ensuing 'othering' that followed him everywhere he went: from his schooldays in Aligarh, when hopping over to the lending library to the 'Hindu' part of town to find his favourite comic book or lighting candles with neighbours on Diwali was fraught with tension; through his years as a college student in Delhi, where being denied apartments because of his name was the norm; to ultimately becoming a journalist documenting history of his country as it happened.  
  City on Fire is a rare, visceral portrait of how everyday violence and hate become a part of our lives and consciousness; a society where name and clothes mark out a person as the 'other'. It is as much an incisive examination of religion and violence, imagined histories and fractured realities, grief and love in today's India, as it is a paean to the hope of continued unity, to an idea of India

  Are you constantly reading between the lines… and getting it wrong?
   
  Do you assume what others think of you… fill in the gaps… and react to things that were never actually said?
   
  This isn’t overthinking. This is a pattern.
   
  In Stop Making Assumptions, you’ll uncover why your mind jumps to conclusions — especially negative ones — and why it feels so convincing in the moment.
   
  Because assumptions aren’t random. They are trying to protect you.
   
  From rejection. From uncertainty. From being caught off guard.
   
  But what once protected you… is now quietly distorting your reality, your relationships, and your sense of safety.
   
  Inside this audiobook, you’ll learn:
  
   
  Why your brain assumes the worst (and why it feels true)
  
   
  The hidden emotional drivers behind over-interpreting situations
  
   
  How assumptions create distance, conflict, and unnecessary stress
  
   
  The real cost of “filling in the blanks” without evidence
  
   
  The key shift that helps you see clearly again
  
  
   
  This is not about “thinking positive.” It’s about seeing accurately.
   
  If you’ve ever felt misunderstood… misread a situation… or created stories in your head that later turned out to be wrong…
   
  This book will help you understand why — and gently begin to step out of it.

  Can gender stereotypes in childhood be more destructive than our culture perceives and stand in the way of gender equality? 
   
   
   
  When Jodi Bondi Norgaard, an experienced entrepreneur, attempted to shake-up the toy industry with a sports doll that appeals to today's more athletic, adventurous girls, she came to realize the roadblocks to success weren't only reluctant toy buyers, but a patriarchal culture that perpetuates gender roles and sexism. More Than a Doll is about her mission to break gender stereotypes and challenge the status quo. 
   
   
   
  Through illuminating testimonials, data, research, interviews, and cultural observations, listeners will come away with clear examples of the dangers of early gender stereotyping and how we continue to fail to see the harm. 
   
   
   
  After all: "It's just a toy." "It's just a t-shirt." "It's just a show." 
   
   
   
  Bondi Norgaard is sounding the siren that gender inequality doesn't begin in our teens, it begins the moment a child can hold a toy or book or watch a screen. The programing starts early, and the impact is lifelong.
