    An absorbing and compelling study of the most intensive naval struggle the world has ever seen.Beginning with Pearl Harbor, renowned historian Donald Macintyre charts the course of the Pacific war through the major battles that shaped World War Two: Java Sea, Coral Sea, Midway, Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf.Of course, the Pacific theater was shaped not only by naval actions but also by closely interlocking military campaigns. Macintyre brings these amphibious struggles, which were more ferocious and wide-ranging than the world had ever seen, to the forefront of listeners' minds and demonstrates just why the Allies were able to emerge victorious.Macintyre, a veteran of the U-boat war in the Atlantic, explores how the Japanese were able to utilize the tactical advantage of their fleet air arm with its superiority in carrier-born fighters and torpedo planes to initially gain the upper hand of the conflict. It was only through military intelligence breakthroughs, the vast American industrial capacity, and brilliant naval and military leadership that the Allies were able to defeat the Japanese even in the face of terrifying kamikaze attacks.

    Latin American Development offers a sweeping, multi-country perspective on the forces shaping growth, prosperity, and crisis across the region. This 5-in-1 collection dives into the economic trajectories of El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela, highlighting how political decisions, social movements, and external pressures have molded each nation’s path. Whether examining rapid development or dramatic decline, the book sheds light on both shared patterns and unique challenges. 
    In El Salvador, we explore the post-conflict economy and its reliance on remittances, exports, and dollarization. Colombia’s chapters focus on two lenses: its long-term economic history and more recent transformation toward stability and global integration. Brazil’s rise and fall showcases how major industries once symbolized growth, only to falter amid corruption and policy missteps. Finally, Venezuela’s boom and bust narrative reveals how oil wealth led to short-term prosperity followed by severe collapse, hyperinflation, and social unrest. 
    This volume is perfect for readers seeking to understand how Latin America’s economic landscapes have been built—and broken—by power, policy, and persistence.

    The last volume of Chesterton's collected essays, Gathered from the London Mercury, the New Witness, and the Illustrated London News, it is the only volume from after WWI, and is most serious, philosophical, and socially direct collection. 
    "The problem is not so much Prohibition with a large P as prohibition with a small one. I mean, I am interested not so much in liquor as in liberty. I want to know on what principle the prohibitionists are proceeding in this case, and how they think it applies to any other case. And I cannot for the life of me make out. They…do not attack liquor; they do quite simply attack liberty. I mean that they are satisfied with saying about this liberty what can obviously be said about any liberty – that it can be, and is, abominably abused. If that had been a final objection to any form of freedom, there never would have been any form of freedom." 
    "So long as we combine ceaseless and often reckless scientific speculation with rapid and often random social reform, the result must inevitably be not anarchy but ever-increasing tyranny. There must be a ceaseless and almost mechanical multiplication of things forbidden. The resolution to cure all the ills that flesh is heir to, combined with the guesswork about all possible ills that flesh and nerve and brain-cell may be heir to – these two things conducted simultaneously must inevitably spread a sort of panic of prohibition. Scientific imagination and social reform between them will quite logically and almost legitimately have made us slaves."

    Do you find yourself constantly struggling with a racing mind, unable to focus on one task at a time? Are you plagued by anxiety and find yourself obsessing over certain activities, even if they lead to exhaustion? 
    If so, you may be one of the many women living with ADHD. 
    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a condition that affects millions of people around the world, and yet, it is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed in women. Despite being diagnosed and treated more often in men, ADHD affects women just as much, if not more. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information and research on ADHD in women, leading to a lack of understanding and support. 
    One of the biggest challenges for women with ADHD is getting diagnosed. Unlike boys, girls are more inconspicuous and less likely to have poor school performance, which is often the first red flag for ADHD. Additionally, girls are more likely than boys to have the predominantly inattentive type without hyperactivity and fewer behavior problems in clinical practice. As a result, many women come to know their ADHD when their children are diagnosed. 
    This book is an essential guide for women who suspect they have ADHD, as well as for their loved ones. We provide information on how to recognize the symptoms, how to seek professional help and how to take control of your life. We also discuss the importance of self-care, how to manage the disorder, and how to advocate for yourself in the medical and educational systems. 
    Don't let ADHD control your life any longer. Learn how to take control and find the support you deserve with this informative and empowering audiobook. With the right knowledge, tools, and support, you can learn to live a fulfilling and successful life despite the challenges of ADHD
