  ‘Five stars from me…’ AL MURRAY 
  An unmissable collaboration between two comedy legends – an irresistible, family-friendly deep dive into the murky lives of the British monarchy. 
  Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three. One, two, three Neds, Richard Two, Henries, four, five, six, then who? 
  Charlie Higson has always been fascinated by the story of the monarchy: from the b*stardly to the benevolent, the brilliant to the brutal. In this wonderful new book, using the famous rhyme he learned at school as his trusty guide, Charlie takes us through the history of this bizarre and long-lasting institution, introducing readers to every single ruler since poor Harold got it in the eye at the Battle of Hastings (or did he?). 
  Who were all these people, and what did they do? It’s all here. Bloody treachery? Check. Unruly incest? Check. A couple of Cromwells? Check. The War of Jenkins Ear? Sadly, for Robert Jenkins, check. 
  A rip-roaring journey that takes in the Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians and Windsors, not to mention the infamous Blois (how can we forget them?), Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee is an utterly engrossing and grossly entertaining guide to who ruled when and whether they were any good at it. 
  Pre-order your copy of the latest non-fiction biography from Sunday Times bestselling author, Charlie Higson. His exploration of mediaeval and renaissance Europe is a top-performing deep dive into Britain's royalty.

  Happy Dreams of Liberty - An...

  When Samuel Townsend died at his home in Madison County, Alabama, in November 1856, the fifty-two-year-old white planter left behind hundreds of slaves, thousands of acres of rich cotton land, and a net worth of approximately $200,000. In life, Samuel had done little to distinguish himself from other members of the South's elite slaveholding class. But he made a name for himself in death by leaving almost the entirety of his fortune to his five sons, four daughters, and two nieces: all of them his slaves. 
   
   
   
  In this deeply researched, movingly narrated portrait of the extended Townsend family, R. Isabela Morales reconstructs the migration of this mixed-race family across the American West and South over the second half of the nineteenth century. Searching for communities where they could exercise their newfound freedom and wealth to the fullest, members of the family homesteaded and attended college in Ohio and Kansas; fought for the Union Army in Mississippi; mined for silver in the Colorado Rockies; and, in the case of one son, returned to Alabama to purchase part of the old plantation where he had once been held as a slave. In Morales's telling, the Townsends' story maps a new landscape of opportunity and oppression, where the meanings of race and freedom—as well as opportunities for social and economic mobility—were dictated by highly local circumstances.

  5 Biggest Civil War Battles The:...

  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. 
  By 1863, the Civil War had reached a level of ferocity not yet seen, and the 5 biggest battles would take place in 1863-1864, starting with Chancellorsville. Of all the Civil War battles fought, and of all the victories achieved by Robert E. Lee at the command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the most tactically complex and ultimately the most brilliant Confederate victory of the war. Despite being outnumbered by over 2-1, Lee's army won a battle that saw 30,000 casualties inflicted upon the two sides. 
  Less than 2 months later, the Army of the Potomac and Army of Northern Virginia faced off in the most famous and biggest battle of the war at Gettysburg. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett’s Charge on the third and final day. Meade’s stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil War’s turning points. 
  The second bloodiest battle of the Civil War came in September 1863 at Chickamauga, which saw George H. Thomas save the Union Army of the Cumberland from a disaster on the second day of the battle after a Union blunder had created a gap in the line. After nearly 35,000 casualties suffered by the two sides, Thomas prevented the destruction of the Union army by Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee.

  Empowerment: Rethinking Gender...

  Empowerment was never meant to create conflict. 
  It was meant to restore balance. 
  Despite decades of laws, policies, and awareness campaigns, gender inequality continues to persist—quietly, deeply, and often in unexpected ways. Working women carry invisible burdens. Men remain confined by rigid expectations. Families and workplaces struggle to translate intention into equality. 
  In Empowerment: Rethinking Gender Roles for a Balanced Society, Dr. (Major) Meeta Tyagi offers a thoughtful, lived exploration of why empowerment efforts often feel incomplete—and what must change for progress to become real. 
  Drawing from real experiences across homes, marriages, workplaces, hospitals, schools, and communities, this book moves beyond slogans to examine how conditioning, silence, misplaced guilt, and distorted narratives sustain imbalance. 
  At its core lies a practical four-step framework for genuine empowerment: Awareness, Boundaries, Discernment, and Action—guiding change without destroying dignity. 
  This is not a book about women versus men. It is about partnership, responsibility, and balance. 
  ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
  Dr. (Major) Meeta Tyagi is a medical professional and administrator whose work spans clinical practice, institutional responsibility, and public service. Her experiences within hospitals, families, and workplaces shaped her reflective engagement with gender roles and empowerment—not as ideology, but as lived reality. 
  She believes empowerment is not endurance or dominance, but balance grounded in dignity and shared responsibility.
