Summary

The Journals of George Washington provide an intimate glimpse into the mind of one of America's founding fathers, capturing his thoughts, experiences, and reflections during pivotal moments in history. Distinguished by a clear and straightforward literary style, Washington's journals reveal his meticulous attention to detail and his evolving understanding of leadership, nationhood, and personal duty. Spanning his early military career to the presidency, these journals serve as vital historical artifacts that illustrate the complexities of leadership and the foundational principles of democracy, all set against the backdrop of the American Revolution and the nascent republic. George Washington, born into Virginia's planter aristocracy, developed a strong sense of duty, temperance, and integrity, which greatly influenced his writings. His experiences as a soldier, farmer, and statesman exposed him to the harsh realities of leadership and governance. The journals reflect not only his personal ambition but also his commitment to the ideals of liberty and self-governance, encapsulating the ideals that he would later embody as the nation's first president. For readers interested in American history, political philosophy, or the personal journeys of influential leaders, The Journals of George Washington is essential. This work invites reflection on the moral and ethical dilemmas of leadership while connecting contemporary readers to the values that shaped a nation.

    A month after her 24th birthday, Lt. Mary Elizabeth Balster collapses among the rubble of a shelled supply room. On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster's evac receives a typical patient load, but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she'd nursed back to health five months before in Normandy. The charge nurse on Surgical gently informs the lieutenant that the private is critical. Rising determined to save him, Balster limps toward the shelled supply room determined to search for any blood plasma bottles still intact. 
 
 
 
Recaptured from her mother's reminiscences and letters home, N. C. R. Davis takes listeners through every heat-of-battle harrowing moment as Balster lived it, achieving a rare glimpse of one nurse's point of view during the latter part of the European conflict. 
 
 
 
The book mixes Lt. Balster's observations, memories, and dreams to tell the story of a richly rebellious woman trying to navigate her life while nursing wounded and dying frontline soldiers. Her strong-willed, beguiling personality fosters the grit necessary for her success as a combat nurse, but these same characteristics cause two men to fall in love with her. And the personal cost of war comes to a heartrending conclusion, as she must choose one man over the other.

"Life is Fighting is a must-read for any fan of the wrestling business." — Kofi Kingston, WWE Grand Slam Champion, 16-time Tag Team Champion

Factor in a unique combination of precision and abject ruthlessness, and it becomes clear that anyone stepping into the ring with him is in immediate danger. A master of catch wrestling and jiu jitsu, Kross has done battle around the world. He boasts an array of devastating suplexes. And if that's not enough, he's more than happy to put opponents to sleep . . . But despite his menacing exterior, the human being behind the character—Kevin Kesar—is soft-spoken and highly thoughtful. Recognized by his peers for his exceptional love for his profession, Kesar endured numerous setbacks on the way to achieving his dream. Along with his wife, Elizabeth—known in WWE as Scarlett—he has repeatedly found the fortitude to bounce back stronger. In Life is Fighting he shares the real story.

    This audiobook is narrated by Julie Maisey and Martin Frizell, and includes a short note read by the author, exclusive to the audio edition. 'I hope this book can show people a little about what it is like to live with Alzheimer’s. How frightening and confusing it is. But also how much life can still bring joy and be valued.'Much-loved broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty-one when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and now she was facing the same heartbreaking diagnosis – under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family.With courage and determination, Fiona set out to chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others. From the tiny first warning signs - the inability to concentrate and the ‘brain fog’ she wrote off as the menopause - to the gradual loss of her memories and her growing confusion, she reveals how the disease progresses and how she copes. She also shares her experiences with the NHS and the systems that may seem hard for patients and their families to navigate.Written with Fiona’s trademark honesty, Remember Me is a compelling and moving memoir as well as a book offering an important insight into life with a disease that will impact many of us.'Fiona is one of the strongest, kindest and bravest women I know and her honesty and resilience shines through every page.' - Lorraine Kelly'Fiona and her family are just incredible! The strength, the love, the way they’ve handled everything with such grace and courage is so inspiring' - Alison Hammond
