Adolf Galland - The Authorised...

David Baker

A remarkable story of integrity, skill and survival in a world divided by war The most famous German fighter pilot of World War II, Adolf Galland was respected by both comrades and former enemies alike. A highly decorated 'ace' with over 100 air-to-air victories in the West, he was a recipient of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds, which was awarded to only 27 men among the millions who served. After the war, he built friendships with the very Allied pilots he once fought and was admired as much for his integrity as for his prowess as a pilot and commander. In his final years, he worked closely with historian David Baker to produce this authorised biography, largely illustrated with photographs from his private albums. Offering a rare glimpse into both the air battles of World War II and the inner workings of the Luftwaffe, and now featuring new appendices that include the latest research into Galland's aerial kills, this book stands as an essential record of one of history's most remarkable fighter pilots.

Half In - A Coming-of-Age Memoir...

Felice Cohen

What if your first love were a forbidden one? 
At twenty-three, Felice Cohen was, like other recent college grads, hesitant about entering the real world, with the added stress of coming out in the early nineties. Focused on how to land a full-time position as a writer, falling in love was the last thing on her mind. 
But fall in love she did. With her boss, a woman thirty-four years older. 
Felice and Sarah embarked on a high-stakes, year-long love affair. Addicted to the high of first love, Felice was enthralled by Sarah’s attention and content to hide their love in the shadows. Sarah, meanwhile, threw caution to the wind, risking her comfortably established life that included a prestigious job and long-term girlfriend. Though not perfect, it was enough.  
That was until their secret was exposed, forcing Felice to publicly acknowledge their illicit love or start a new life for herself. Felice chose to walk away.  
In this candid coming-of-age memoir—as compelling as a novel—Felice chronicles the happiness and heartbreak of an age-gap love affair while struggling to figure out the direction of her future. Ultimately, this is a story about navigating life’s unpredictable path while following one’s heart, and finding acceptance.

Surviving the Frontier -...

Lillian Brooks

The story of Aboriginal resilience in Australian history is one of survival, adaptation, and unyielding strength in the face of immense challenges. For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal peoples thrived across the diverse landscapes of the continent, developing complex societies deeply connected to the land. However, with the arrival of European settlers, they faced an unprecedented upheaval that threatened not only their way of life but also their very existence. Despite this, Aboriginal communities endured, finding ways to resist, adapt, and preserve their cultural heritage against overwhelming odds.
Colonization brought profound disruptions to Aboriginal societies. Traditional lands were seized, sacred sites were desecrated, and entire communities were forcibly removed from their ancestral homes. The introduction of foreign diseases, combined with violence and systematic dispossession, led to devastating population losses. European settlers viewed the land as something to be owned and exploited, disregarding the deep spiritual and cultural relationship that Aboriginal people had maintained with it for millennia. The introduction of colonial laws and policies further marginalized Aboriginal peoples, stripping them of autonomy and attempting to erase their identities through forced assimilation.
Yet, even in the darkest periods of history, Aboriginal resilience remained steadfast. Many Aboriginal nations engaged in active resistance, fighting to defend their land and people. Leaders emerged to challenge European incursions, using knowledge of the terrain to their advantage in conflicts now known as the Frontier Wars. Others found ways to survive within the new colonial framework, forming alliances, working within the pastoral industry, or preserving their culture in secret despite government suppression.

Mrs Dalloway and To the...

Virginia Woolf

Presented here are two of the most important books of the early 20th Century by one of the most original and groundbreaking writers of her era, the feminist literary pioneer Virginia Woolf. First, the 1925 sensation "Mrs. Dalloway," the breakthrough novel that solidified Woolf's reputation as a fresh, new voice of her generation. Written in a new style - soon dubbed "stream-of-consciousness" - the book details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a British socialite in post-First World War England. Originally written as "The Hours," Woolf's novel was based on two earlier short stories, "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" and "The Prime Minister." The book takes place in a single day and follows the eponymous lead character as she prepares for and hosts a party. Looping backwards and forwards in time, the reader is given a glimpse inside the mind of Mrs. Dalloway - and some of her party guests - as they goes about their day. Received with rapturous reviews upon its debut, Mrs. Dalloway was included on Time Magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels ever written. Also included in this volume is "To the Lighthouse," which was published in 1927, just two years after Mrs. Dalloway was released. To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's experimental and brilliant third novel and concerns the annual visits by the Ramsay family to their summer home in the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920. Once again employing her unique, stream-of-consciousness style, Woolf creates a fascinating and complex novel where the point of view of the narration switches between the various Ramsay family members and their guests. This semi-autobiographical book was hailed in its time as a breakthrough work of genius by critics, has gone on to become one of the most beloved and carefully studied books of all time and has been named by both Modern Library and Time Magazine as as one of the 100 best English language novels of the 20th century.
