Notably, Henty intertwines historical accuracy with adventure, emphasizing themes of bravery, loyalty, and patriotism as he chronicles the experiences of his protagonist, a young boy caught in the throes of a national revolution. G. A. Henty, a prolific British author, became renowned for his historical novels aimed at young readers. His background, including his service as a war correspondent, notably influenced his passion for depicting history through fiction. Henty'Äôs interest in military exploits and his commitment to educating youth about bravery and national pride shines vividly in this narrative, reflecting both his personal beliefs and his keen awareness of the historical significance surrounding Holland's fight for freedom.

    ‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’ 
    Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with. 
    We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.  
    The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve. 
    Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.  
    When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book. 
    We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.

    In Occult Diseases: A Review of Unbalance, Manly P. Hall turns his penetrating insight toward the hidden roots of human suffering. More than a study of physical or mental illness, this rare essay—originally published in The All-Seeing Eye—investigates the spiritual and psychological disorders that arise when harmony is broken between the soul, mind, and body. Hall reveals how ignorance, selfishness, and emotional extremes generate destructive vibrations that can manifest as disease, imbalance, and inner decay. He outlines not only the causes of occult affliction but also the principles of restoration: discipline, clarity, virtue, and alignment with higher truth. 
    This is not a medical manual—it is a guide for the soul's hygiene.

    Big Mall - Shopping for Meaning

    A phenomenology of the mall: If the mall makes us feel bad, why do we keep going back? In a world poisoned by capitalism, is shopping what makes life worth living?
    		 
    In less than a century, the shopping mall has morphed from a blueprint for a socialist utopia to something else entirely: a home to disaffected mallrats and depressed zoo animals, a sensory overload and consumerist trap.
    		 
    Kate Black grew up in North America’s largest mall: West Edmonton Mall — a mall on steroids. It’s the site of a notoriously lethal rave for teenagers, a fatal rollercoaster accident, and more than one gun-range suicide; it’s where oil field workers reap the social mobility of a boom-and-bust economy, the impossibly large structure where teens attempt to invent themselves in dark Hollister sales racks and weird horny escapades in the indoor waterpark. It’s a place people love to hate and hate to love — a site of pleasure and pain, of death and violence, of (sub)urban legend.
    		 
    Can malls tell us something important about who we are? Blending a history of shopping with a story of coming-of-age in North America’s largest and strangest mall, Big Mall nvestigates how these structures have become the ultimate symbol of late-capitalist dread — and, surprisingly, a subversive site of hope. Ultimately, a close look at the mall reveals clues to how a good life in these times is possible.
    		 
    “Speaking as a child of PacSun and Hot Topic myself, Big Mall is like a madeleine dipped in Orange Julius. Like a mall, the book itself has a lot of everything, a sublime mix of memoir, history, and cultural criticism. Kate Black is a learned Virgil in the consumerist Inferno, always avoiding the obvious and leading us to surprising connections — oil, suicide, Reddit, squatters, dolphins. Whether malls fill you with nostalgia or horror, this book will change your relationship to the world we've constructed around us.” — Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens
    		 
    “Before there was Instagram, there was the mall. But what happens when a seasonless, tacky, fantasyland is all you knew growing up? How does one embrace a genuinely fake experience? Or to be more precise, a fake but genuine experience? Kate Black’s Big Mall is a smart, sentimental, and perspective-shifting look at the outsized role that big malls play in modern life. Love ’em or hate ’em, one thing’s for sure: after reading this book, you’ll never look at a mall in the same way again.” — Ziya Tong, Science broadcaster & author of The Reality Bubble

    "Euthyphro" is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, set in the Athens of the 5th century BC. The dialogue takes place outside the courthouse, where Socrates meets Euthyphro, a young man who claims to have a deep knowledge of piety and holiness. Euthyphro has come to prosecute his own father for the murder of a slave, whom he believed was guilty of impiety. 
    Socrates questions Euthyphro about his understanding of piety and holiness, and the dialogue becomes a profound exploration of the nature of these concepts. Socrates challenges Euthyphro's definition of piety and holiness, and ultimately concludes that he does not have a clear understanding of what these concepts mean. 
    Throughout the dialogue, Plato raises important questions about the nature of ethics, the relationship between religion and morality, and the limits of human knowledge. "Euthyphro" remains a classic work of philosophy, renowned for its clear and rigorous approach to philosophical inquiry.
