  Yentin Ongbou Chang came from a priestly clan. Due to the various rituals it performs, his clan is prohibited from eating beef and mutton due to the odor from the meat. The biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang is the story of a tribal statesman from the Chang Naga tribe of Northeast India. Yentin Ongbou loved his people and helped them to advance. He lived a traditional life through many societal changes in Nagaland and in India. In the early days, his land and people were remote and unreached. The Chang people fought with other tribes, as well as the British and Indian government for many years before becoming a part of the Indian union. He was a government official for over four decades. He was an ancestor worshipper who later followed Jesus Christ. Yentin Ongbou Chang, with only the traditional tribal education, succeeded in having all his eight children graduate from college. He loved education and from very early on he understood the importance of education.  
  Only in recent years, through social media, are the rest of India and the outside world beginning to learn and hear about the people from Northeast India. The geography and the people of Northeast India were not taught in the schools in India. Through The Biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang of a Priestly Clan, we hope we can educate and inform outsiders about the Chang Naga tribe from Nagaland. India is such a diverse country. That diversity is also the greatest strength of India.

  The epic Battle of Iwo Jima is recounted through the stories of twenty-eight American soldiers who showed uncommon valor during one of WWII’s most bitter conflicts. When the smoke cleared on Iwo Jima in March of 1945, nineteen-thousand American Marines had been wounded and seven-thousand were dead, a casualty rate of nearly thirty-nine percent. Lasting over a month, Iwo was the Marines’ bloodiest battle of the Second World War and the only Pacific battle in which a U.S. landing force suffered more casualties than it inflicted. It was also the most highly decorated single engagement in Marine Corps history.  This volume captures the bravery of those who fought in that epic battle through the stories of twenty-two Marines and five Navy personnel who received the Medal of Honor in recognition of their gallantry under fire.

  A spiritual and poetic journey across cultures, languages, and inner landscapes. 
  Persiansk is a heartfelt collection of poems inspired by Persian mysticism and touched by Nordic clarity. Blending the soul of ancient Iran with echoes of Danish Asatro, these poems explore themes of identity, exile, belonging, and spiritual awakening. 
  The title—Persiansk—symbolizes this fusion: part Persian, part dansk (Danish), reflecting the poet’s life across two worlds. Through lyrical language and emotional depth, Ramin Taheri invites readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the sacred in the ordinary. 
  “This book is a mirror. It will reflect you.” 
  For readers drawn to spiritual poetry, cross-cultural reflection, or the quiet beauty of the in-between, Persiansk is an offering of light from the space between worlds.

  “I Didn’t Ask For Your Life Story” - Well, Here It Is Anyway. 
  ‘You can’t rip velcro quietly' is a compendium of “Sam Stories”, following my adventures from ages 18-30. These were the formative adult years where I began to forge my own path. I’d experienced great triumphs, success and no shortage of laughter, mostly at my expense - however I was becoming increasingly anxious, indecisive and lost. I needed to find out why.  
  As an aspiring writer and filmmaker, I thought perhaps if I could attempt to shape my character arc thus far, I'd see how I became who I am, and harness lessons of the past to guide my future. I had to explore my own ‘Heroes Journey’ to work out how to write the next chapters in my life. I found not only myself in this process, but a broader message and theme, perhaps applicable to all. Therefore, I decided to release this to the world.

  'Every family has shadow people, the ones who slipped out of the story too soon, leaving a blank space where they should have been. In my father's family that person was his sister Kathleen.'
  So begins Heather Richardson's astonishing fragmentary celebration of her aunt, Kathleen Hutchinson, whose life was cut tragically short aged just 14. It is the early days of WW2 and Kathleen has just left school to start her first job at a linen mill. But this dark and cold December night she doesn't make it home.
  Originally stitched into the fabric of a dress, Kathleen's life is presented here as a book for the first time. In the process, Heather Richardson also tells the stories of Kathleen's parents and their lives together in rural Northern Ireland in the first half of the 20th Century.
  A Dress For Kathleen is a labour of love from niece to the aunt she never met. Every sentence sparkles. Heather Richardson's masterpiece is a poetic portrait in prose and one of the finest books you will read this year.
