  "The Navy" by Harold Clark takes you from the streets of Baltimore to the dark thirty chaos of Grenada's invasion, where Marines hit the beaches with guns blazing. The book displays what the real Navy looks like—where sailors live by mottos like 'Keep the screws turning and the lights burning' and learn hard lessons like 'tonnage has its privileges in the shipping channel.' Relive the Gator Navy days aboard LCU 1655 during Operation Northern Wedding, when a near-collision with a tanker in the Norwegian Sea taught Clark's crew to scan everything—high and low. Feel the tension of Beirut's Red Beach operations and the bitter retreat when the American flag came down, and the Syrian flag went up. Clark tells about his distinctive journey—a Navy life—told straight from the gut by a sailor who lived every minute of it, from boot camp to his final voyage aboard the USS Whidbey Island.

  We Two From Heaven - A Memoir

  'A boldly imagined and beautifully written memoir. Whyle's prose is finely tuned, unflinching in its approach to painful subjects, but also laced with wry humour and the sheer delight of being alive.' – Ivan Vladislavic
  We Two from Heaven is a singular memoir, a four-part fugue on the tricks and traps of memory, a shuffling of the cards of time. Episodes from the early life of writer James Whyle are interwoven with the letters of his father from the Western Front during the First World War. Their formative experiences – war, conscription, injury, desertion – flash by, juxtaposed, as if in counterpoint.
  Upending the reader's expectations of a memoir, Whyle then explores the violence and madness of apartheid society as the narrator passes through boarding school and university and takes his first steps to become a writer. Raw and rhythmic, lyrical and caustic, this is an unsparing, formally inventive dissection of human vanities and illusions.
  At the end of history, on the shores of a blue bay, the voices of the past can be heard as we await the arrival of the barbarians – or the baboons, whoever comes first.

  The Urban Poor - Socioeconomic...

  Urban poverty has emerged as one of the most pressing social and economic issues of the modern world. As the global population increasingly shifts toward urban centers, the face of poverty is no longer limited to rural areas. Cities, which were once seen as hubs of opportunity, now grapple with growing disparities between the rich and the poor. The urban poor live in environments that offer limited access to basic services such as housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities, making it difficult for them to escape the cycle of poverty. 
  The rapid pace of urbanization, especially in developing countries, has led to the creation of sprawling slums and informal settlements where millions of people struggle to survive. These areas are often characterized by overcrowded living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to clean water and sanitation. As cities expand, they fail to provide adequate housing for their increasing populations, and the urban poor are forced to live in substandard conditions with few opportunities for upward mobility. 
  Urban poverty is not just about a lack of income; it is about a lack of access to the resources and services that are essential for a decent quality of life. The urban poor are often marginalized and excluded from the formal economy, finding themselves in low-wage, insecure jobs or relying on informal employment. This lack of stable income exacerbates their poverty and limits their ability to meet basic needs such as food, healthcare, and education.
