    Ever opened a tab and forgotten why? 
    Mid-scroll, mid-thought… and poof—it’s gone? 
    No, it’s not just you. And no, it’s not early-onset anything, 
    You’ve simply been Forgotten. By. Design. 
    In Forgotten by Design: The Silent Epidemic of Digital Dementia, tech meets soul in this genre-bending, mind-bending manifesto on how your memory, focus, and very sense of time are being subtly stolen—and sold back to you. 
    This isn’t another “digital detox” guilt trip. 
    This is a call to remember who you were before 
    the algorithm got your number. 
    ◆ Neuroscience meets Vedic rituals. 
    ◆ Ancient myths collide with dopamine loops. 
    ◆ Real-life stories, surreal insights, and soul-searching questions. 
    Meet the yogi hidden in your nervous system, 
    Decode the ghost data shaping your identity. 
    And answer the only question that matters now: 
    If your mind’s been outsourced to machines… 
    what’s left of you? 
    This is not self-help. This is self-awakening. 
    (Warning: Once remembered, you can’t go back.) 
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
    Hardik Goel has spent over a decade wrangling data by day and words by caffeine-fueled night. By trade, he’s a data engineer and scientist, by temperament. a writer, editor, and part-time overthinker with an eye for patterns—whether in code, conversation, or comic coincidence. 
    This book is what happens when spreadsheets meet Sanskrit, and logic makes a late-night deal with mythology.

    Womanhood: The Facts of Life...

    Knowledge was the first step toward independence. 
     
    Originally published in 1927, Womanhood: The Facts of Life Revealed to Women offered women frank information about subjects that society often expected them to face in silence. 
     
    Gloria Goddard explores the physical, emotional, and social passage into womanhood, beginning with adolescence and reproductive health before turning to love, courtship, marriage, sexuality, education, and personal responsibility. Throughout the work, she argues that informed women are better prepared to make confident choices about their bodies, relationships, and futures. 
     
    At a time when open discussion of female biology and sexual health remained controversial, Womanhood challenged ignorance and secrecy by treating knowledge as an essential part of women’s well-being and independence. 
     
    Narrated by Ann Fritz, this audiobook offers modern listeners a revealing historical perspective on women’s health education, changing social expectations, and the early twentieth-century movement toward greater openness and equality. 
     
    Publisher’s note: This work is presented as a historical document. Some medical information, terminology, and social attitudes reflect the standards and beliefs of 1927 and should not be considered current medical guidance.

     Words from the Hedge   is a passionate evocation of the history, beauty and importance of our hedgerows by a craftsman who has been laying hedges for almost three decades and has the scars to prove it. 
    
    
    Hedges are as old as civilisation and as emblematic of the British countryside as chalk streams, hay meadows and oak trees. But unlike woodland and rivers, farmland hedges remain on the periphery of the public consciousness, often going unnoticed and almost always underappreciated. Wielding his pen as deftly he does a billhook, professional hedgelayer Richard Negus takes us on a journey that reveals these ribbons of thorn and barb are so much more than mere decoration or boundary markers. They are essential for much-needed wildlife recovery. If we don't get our hedges right, there is little hope for species like the almost-extinct turtledove.
    
    
    And yet, no hedge is truly 'wild'; each one is a testament to generations of human skill and labour, requiring ongoing maintenance to survive and thrive. But there is a problem: we need more hedgelayers, and this is something Negus is trying to solve.
    
    
    Introducing a lively band of fellow countrymen and countrywomen along the way, Negus explores everything from the practical complexities of modern farming and land ownership to the challenges faced by conservationists. Written with vigour and humour, as well as rare insight and honesty,  Words from the Hedge  is a timely exploration of how we can use hedges to make the British countryside a place where nature has a home.

    Stress is a problem for many people. This practical book was written by a GP who developed her approach for dealing with stress to help her patients and felt it could help a wider audience. It was first available in 2014 but the latest version was released in 2024. The book is designed to encourage you (the reader) to reflect on what is causing stress in your life, how this stress is affecting you and on what you can change in your situation, and in yourself, to help you make life feel less stressful. There is plenty of space for you to jot down your thoughts. 
    The introduction includes a definition of the word 'stress', and is followed by a description of the Acute Stress Reaction. You are then asked to consider whether there are aspects of your life that you can change and if so, to focus your energy on bringing about these changes. From then on, the book focuses on how stress can affect you: your mind, your body and your spirit. You may recognise some of the thoughts, physical symptoms and feelings described. There is also a section on unhealthy coping behaviours, prompting personal reflection. It goes on to give practical advice to help life become less stressful for you. This advice focuses on helping you to control your mind and any anxious thoughts, and also on ways to look after your body and to restore your spirit. 
    It is hoped that through the process of reading this book, and reflecting as you go, you will gain a greater understanding of yourself and the way you respond to stressful situations and events. The book provides a handy reference tool which you can personalise by annotation and also by highlighting areas which are particularly useful. Through this process you will become more empowered to make changes which will hopefully make your life more manageable and enjoyable.

    Enduring hardship was not new to him. The Marine Corps gave it purpose. 
    From a childhood marked by violence and enforced silence to the drill field at Parris Island, The Street follows Sherman Gillums Jr. as he evolves into the role of senior drill instructor, forging young men into warriors in the uneasy calm before September 11th sent them into war.  
    This is not a story about surviving hell. It is about learning who you become inside it. 
    What happens when the system designed to break you down finds someone already fractured? When pain becomes education? Narrated with the cadence and candor of a man who lived it, Gillums pulls listeners inside the squad bay—the noise, the ritual, the moral weight of shaping human beings under pressure—and examines how cruelty and discipline can share a uniform, and how what saves us can become what we pass on. 
    The Street challenges listeners to confront a harder question than whether they can endure. It asks what endurance will cost them.
