Sinossi

In 'The Works of Napoleon Bonaparte', the collection spans a diverse array of literary styles and themes, capturing pivotal moments from Napoleonic eras and offering a rich narrative canvas that speaks to both the historical and the philosophical. From meticulously crafted personal writings by Napoleon himself to critical examinations by contemporaries and later historians, the anthology showcases a range of perspectives on leadership, governance, and the struggles of wielding power. The anthology is particularly significant for its holistic approach and includes standout pieces that probe into lesser-known aspects of Bonaparte's rule and his personal reflections on warfare and diplomacy. The contributing authors, each with their deep expertise, offer a multifaceted portrayal of Napoleon. From his closest aide, Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne, providing an insider's view, to distinguished historians Ida M. Tarbell and Charles Downer Hazen, who analyze his impact through the lens of broader socio-economic and political transformations, this collection aligns with, and contributes to, the rich literary and historical discourse on one of Europe's most iconic leaders. This convergence of firsthand accounts and scholarly analysis enriches the reader's understanding of Napoleonic times. 'The Works of Napoleon Bonaparte' serves not only as a historical anthology but as a vital educational tool, offering readers an opportunity to explore a nexus of narratives shaped by varying interpretations and styles. This book is recommended for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of historical figures and the ways in which their legacies are constructed through literature. Dive into this engaging volume to appreciate the breadth of insights and dialogues it fosters among the differing yet complementary interpretations of Napoleon's life and works.

    Exercises of healing and transformation for trauma survivors. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from neuroscience and psychotherapy with empowering strategies to take charge of healing from trauma, this workbook follows the theme of each of the eight keys in 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery. The two books complement each other; but it is not necessary to have listened to the original to benefit from this workbook, which presents practical exercises and activities integral to safe trauma recovery and designed to support listeners' control of their mind, body, and life in the aftermath of trauma. 
     
     
     
    One thing is for sure: there is no one-size-fits-all method for healing trauma. This workbook will help listeners identify, assess, and celebrate the resources they already have, and add more resources to their toolbox. 
     
     
     
    Most importantly, the authors do not subscribe to the old motto "no pain, no gain," fostering instead the concept that healing from trauma should not be traumatic.

    World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.  
    	Most books and documentaries about the First World War focus on the carnage of the Western Front, where Germany faced off against France, the British Empire, and their allies in a grueling slugfest that wasted millions of lives. The shattered landscape of the trenches has become symbolic of the war as a whole, and it is this experience that everyone associates with World War I, but that front was not the only experience. There was the more mobile Eastern Front, as well as mountain warfare in the Alps and scattered fighting in Africa and the Far East. 
    	Then there was the Middle Eastern Front, fought across the Levant and Mesopotamia, which captured the imagination of the European public. There, the British and their allies fought the Ottoman Turkish Empire under harsh desert conditions hundreds of miles from home, struggling for possession of places most people only knew from the Bible and the Koran.

    The Times Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of the YearAn entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics from Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had.'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics. To pilot a better future, we need to learn how not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The book is a lesson in just that' – Will HuttonEvery few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word ‘unprecedented’ as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called. We have become so accustomed to turmoil that it is impossible to take a breath and see where we are headed. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the recent chaos into context and takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain.From the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher, Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.With his trademark insight, forged over several decades as one of the UK’s foremost political commentators, Richards blends anecdote and analysis to explore the biggest events in British political history. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.'An engaging canter through postwar Britain . . . shaped by a lifetime of reading' – Prospect
