  Students of the Book

  John E. Brennan, via 'Musa'

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What happens when the road home becomes a trap — and the only weapons you have left are your wits, your faith, and the names of the people you love? 
  Students of the Book is the true account of Musa, a young Afghan student whose journey to visit family is shattered at a Taliban checkpoint south of Kabul. In an instant, he and his companions — including his teenage cousin — are swept into a nightmare that will test the limits of human endurance, loyalty, and belief. 
  Told in Musa's own voice, this is not a story about geopolitics. It is something far more rare: an intimate, ground-level account of what the Afghan conflict feels like to the civilians caught inside it. We witness the closeness of captor and captive — the mundane cruelties, the bizarre mercies, the dark humor that flickers inside a canvas tent where tomorrow is never guaranteed. We meet a groom who carries his fiancée's Qur'an like a talisman, a boy too young for any of this, and strangers who become brothers through shared suffering. 
  This is a book about courage — but not the kind found in action films. It is the courage of silence under interrogation, of reciting scripture aloud for two days because you have made a pact with God and with each other. The courage of a truck driver who gives sanctuary to a battered child he's never met, and of a man who refuses to leave his fellow captives even when the door to freedom swings open before him. 
  Propulsive, harrowing, and deeply human, Students of the Book carries readers through mountain passes where beauty and violence share the same breath, and into rooms where faith is both a weapon against the innocent and the last unbreakable thing they possess. 
  You will not put this book down. And the names — Musa, Zaki, Abdulla, Jan, Nasir — will stay with you, not as characters, but as people whose testimony demands something of us: to listen, to remember, and to understand what ordinary people endure when zeal turns to war, and war takes hold of us all.

  A visual feast of 49 weird, wonderful and architecturally astounding swimming pools from around the world.
  This book is a sumptuous celebration of swimming pools as playgrounds of pioneering design and architectural excess. Banish memories of crowded leisure centres and sun lounger-clad lidos, these are pools designed for pleasure, not purpose. Swimming pools are no longer simply places to swim, they are versatile sites of activity and excess. They can be vital lifelines providing communities with safe access to water, domestic symbols of affluence, and the avant-garde spectacle of hotel developers.
  Naina Gupta uncovers some of the most spectacular swimming pools from around the world, including Berthold Lubetkin's modernist Penguin Pool at London Zoo, the world's largest infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands, Ricardo Bofill's blood-red garden pool in Spain, and London's unparalleled Sky Pool. Extraordinary Pools also includes 4 extended essays on various aspects of pool culture, such as the use of empty swimming pools in California by skateboarders. 
  Illustrated throughout with awe-inspiring colour photography, Extraordinary Pools is a mosaic of exceptional public and private pools, reasserting the protean quality of the swimming pool as a space of activity, pleasure and excess.

  New World Order

  H. G. Wells

  The New World Order – H.G. Wells. One of the central texts in explaining the psychopathic drive of elitists to enslave the world in a unified empire. H. G. Wells was an insider with a British group tasked with the revival of their once great empire—this time in conjunction with Venetian Black Nobility Khazar bankers (not mentioned this explicitly in the book). Wells evidently grew less sympathetic to their aims as time went on, and published a version of the plans for public consumption in this and other books. Needless to say, the cabal bent on world domination were displeased with Wells’ cavalier candor (perhaps they misjudged him all along), and destroyed nearly all such books.
