  Countdown - The Blinding Future...

  Sarah Scoles

  Nuclear weapons are, today, as important as they were during the Cold War, and some experts say we could be as close to a nuclear catastrophe now as we were at the height of that conflict. Despite that, conversations about these bombs generally often happen in past tense. 
   
   
   
  In Countdown, science journalist Sarah Scoles uncovers a different atomic reality: the nuclear age's present. Drawing from years of on-the-ground reporting at the nation's nuclear weapons labs, Scoles interrogates the idea that having nuclear weapons keeps us safe, deterring attacks and preventing radioactive warfare. She deftly assesses the existing nuclear apparatus in the United States, taking readers beyond the news headlines and policy-speak to reveal the state of nuclear-weapons technology, as well as how people currently working within the United States nuclear weapons complex have come to think about these bombs and the idea that someone, someday, might use them. 
   
   
    
  Through a sharp, surprising, and undoubtedly urgent narrative, Scoles brings us out of the Cold War and into the twenty-first century, opening listeners' eyes to the true nature of nuclear weapons and their caretakers while also giving us the context necessary to understand the consequences of their existence, for worse and for better, for now and for the future.

  BOTH FEET IN - A Soldier and...

  Colonel Bob Stewart DSO

  From the bestselling author of Broken Lives comes an extraordinary memoir of war, politics, leadership, and survival — the story of a man who spent his life at the sharp end of history and never once chose the easy path. 
  In Both Feet In, Bob Stewart recounts a life lived across battlefields, terrorist campaigns, humanitarian disasters, command posts, television studios, and the House of Commons itself. It is a deeply personal, often dramatic, and remarkably candid account of more than seven decades of service, conflict, and public life. 
  Stewart first came to public attention as commanding officer of British forces in Bosnia during the Balkan Wars, where his moral courage, plain speaking, and compassion under fire made him one of the most recognisable British soldiers of his generation. But Both Feet In goes much further — revealing the full story of the man behind the headlines. 
  From post-war Britain to the Middle East, Sandhurst, Cold War Germany, and Northern Ireland during the Troubles, his career was shaped by danger, leadership, and responsibility. At the emotional heart of the book lies the Ballykelly bombing of 1982, when IRA terrorists murdered soldiers and civilians at the Droppin Well disco. His account of leading the rescue and living with the aftermath is one of the most powerful passages ever written by a British officer about the cost of terrorism. 
  After the Army came an unlikely second career in Parliament, serving fourteen years as an MP before becoming a Privy Councillor and respected broadcaster. With honesty and humour, he lifts the curtain on Westminster and reflects on Thatcher, Cameron, McCain, Bush, and King Charles III. 
  Filled with heroism, tragedy, and unmistakably British humour, Both Feet In is the story of a generation shaped by duty — and of a man who believed leadership means accepting responsibility when things go wrong as much as when they go right. 
  Gripping, heartbreaking, and deeply human.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if our schools are not broken but deeply misaligned with how learners actually live, grow, and think? 
   
  Have we confused control for care, structure for support, and routine for true learning? 
   
  Can schools continue to function as institutions and promote a sense of belonging? 
   
  The Better School dares to reimagine education not as a set of systems and silos but as a living, breathing ecosystem where every voice matters. With clarity and conviction, Isha Kakkad invites educators, school leaders, and parents to rethink what it means to truly learn. 
   
  This is not a book of complaints. It is a blueprint for those who care about learners, about purpose, and about doing better together. From identifying the silent crises of the Learning Abyss to introducing practical shifts like Grade Groups and Community Pods, this book speaks to anyone determined to reimagine schools as places of growth and belonging. 
   
  Are you ready to transform schools from a place of routine into a community of belonging?

  First Ladies of the 19th Century

  Charles River Editors

  American presidents have shaped the course of global affairs for generations, but as the saying goes, behind every great man there’s a great woman. While the First Ladies often remain overshadowed by their husbands, some have carved unique niches in their time and left their own lasting legacy. Dolley Madison helped establish the role of the First Lady in the early 19th century, Eleanor Roosevelt gave voice to policy issues in a way that made her a forerunner of First Ladies like Hillary Clinton, and Jackie Kennedy created glamorous trends that made her more popular than her husband.  
  Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton may have been the most politically active First Ladies in American history, but Abigail Adams was the first to act as political advisor for her husband and the first to be dubbed Mrs. President. Indeed, Abigail was politically inclined to degree highly unusual among women of the 18th and 19th century, and she had originally impressed her future husband John because she was so well versed in poetry, philosophy and politics. Abigail was also very progressive, championing women’s rights and abolition long before they became widely held views even in traditionally liberal Massachusetts. While her time as First Lady was important, Abigail Adams remains one of the most recognized and respected First Ladies in American history due to her voluminous correspondence with John when they were separated throughout the American Revolution, as she remained in Massachusetts while John found himself in the thick of politics during his time in the Continental Congress and over in France.
