Sinopsis

John Masefield's "Gallipoli" is a poignant poetic exploration of the harrowing experiences during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. Written in a vividly evocative style, Masefield employs rich imagery and lyrical language to capture the emotional and physical landscapes faced by soldiers. The work intricately intertwines historical truth with personal narrative, reflecting on themes of sacrifice, valor, and the profound futility of war, thus situating itself within the broader context of war literature that seeks to convey the human cost of conflict. Masefield, an accomplished poet and novelist, was appointed Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, his profound understanding of human nature and suffering greatly influenced his literary output. Having witnessed the devastation of war firsthand, Masefield'Äôs experiences, combined with his deep empathy for the common soldier, compelled him to articulate the tragic stories of those engaged in battle. His formidable literary background and personal convictions imbue "Gallipoli" with authenticity and depth, pressing the reader to confront the realities of warfare. This powerful work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the profound impacts of war on the human psyche and society. Masefield's "Gallipoli" not only serves as a tribute to those who fought but also stands as a stark reminder of the haunting legacies left in the wake of conflict. It invites readers to reflect deeply on the sacrifices made and the resilience of the human spirit amidst adversity.

    Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again.  
    If modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is there’s another way. 
    Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of “writing for a living” has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun — or creatively fulfilling — at all. 
    You have to obey genres exactly or your books won’t sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then there’s the SPEED of it all: The rules of “Rapid Release” say you have to publish a book every month — at least — or you’ll never survive. Forget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you. 
    In The Artisan Author, industry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing you’ll lose everything when the winds — or the algorithms — inevitably change. 
    The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. It’s a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin Kelly’s idea of “1000 True Fans”: readers who are loyal to you, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. They’re people with whom you build genuine human connections … and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.

    Psychological trauma refers to the emotional, mental, and psychological injury that results from an overwhelming or distressing event. Unlike physical trauma, which can often be seen and treated directly, psychological trauma is more subtle, affecting the mind and emotions in profound ways. It can arise from various experiences, such as accidents, violence, abuse, loss, or even long-term stressors. The effects of trauma are far-reaching and can impact an individual’s life for many years, manifesting in different forms depending on the person’s resilience, support system, and coping mechanisms. 
    At its core, trauma can alter an individual's perception of the world, themselves, and their relationships. It often creates a sense of helplessness, loss of control, and an inability to feel safe or secure. The distress from trauma can be so severe that it leads to lasting mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other emotional disorders. Understanding the nature of psychological trauma involves recognizing how these experiences affect the brain and the body. Trauma is not merely an emotional reaction; it is a complex response involving neurological, biological, and psychological processes. The brain’s response to trauma can involve changes in brain structures and functions, particularly in areas like the amygdala (responsible for processing emotions) and the hippocampus (which processes memories). These changes can result in heightened fear responses, emotional instability, and difficulty processing memories related to the traumatic event. 
    Furthermore, trauma is often misunderstood or underestimated due to the invisible nature of its impact. While a broken bone is easily visible and can be treated, the effects of trauma are not always immediately apparent.

    Knead to Know - A History of Baking

    In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.
    
    Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells so much about our culture and society, our desires and our weaknesses, from the broad sweep of bread creating human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie, or the fact that mince pies used to be meaty.
    
    When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection as technology improves. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out (and mention a few that should perhaps be left in the past).
    
    The reader will be inspired by the characters, creations and inventions of the past to be better and more adventurous bakers.

    Arnold Döring was just twenty-three years old when he flew his first mission against the Soviet Union on June 21, 1941. On that day he started writing his diary. His account not only describe the technical aspects and the difficulties posed by weather and terrain, but are also filled with suspense, with detailed descriptions of bombing raids and narrow escapes from enemy fighter planes. With detached professionalism, Döring offers us thrilling, action-packed snapshots of life as a Luftwaffe pilot.This volume of the diaries, translated into English for the first time, covers the period from August 1943 to May 1945, when the author was flying sorties as a nightfighter, including Operation Gisela, the largest and final operation of the Luftwaffe against the Allies. Despite experiencing crash-landings, near misses, terrifying night missions and precarious flights with too little fuel and under-trained crew, Döring survived through his skill and instincts, as well as a fair amount of luck.
