Summary

In "Life of Her Majesty Queen Victoria," Millicent Garrett Dame Fawcett offers a meticulously crafted biography that transcends mere chronology to illuminate the complexities of Queen Victoria's reign. Written with a blend of reverence and critical acumen, Fawcett employs an engaging narrative style that combines historical analysis with personal anecdotes, revealing the Queen's political influence, social reforms, and evolving role as a monarch in the rapidly changing landscape of the 19th century. This work emerges within a rich literary context of biographical literature that seeks to give voice to women's contributions in history, contrasting with the male-dominated narratives of the period. Millicent Garrett Dame Fawcett, a prominent suffragist and advocate for women's rights, utilized her keen intellect and personal experiences to delve into the life of Queen Victoria. Fawcett was not only an astute observer of the sociopolitical dynamics of her time but also an avid supporter of Queen Victoria's endeavors, particularly in the realm of women's education and public service. Her dual commitment to feminism and history provides a unique perspective, merging admiration with critical insight in her portrayal of the Queen. I highly recommend "Life of Her Majesty Queen Victoria" to readers keen on understanding the interplay of gender, power, and governance in Victorian England. Fawcett's work invites us to reflect on the legacy of one of history's most iconic monarchs while celebrating the transformative power of women's voices in shaping narratives.

    “Morley Swingle’s Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom. I highly recommend this engrossing book.” Vincent Bugliosi, Author of Helter Skelter  
    In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor who is also a terrific storyteller shares more than thirty legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Morley Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system from crime scenes to courtrooms. 
    Swingle takes readers on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment.  Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who saves lives in his day job, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humor—and shares the occasional “Perry Mason moment." 
    “If Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels surely captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.” Robert H. Dierker, Jr. 
    “Swingle has written an interesting, easily approachable—and rare—account of daily life as a prosecuting attorney. I am unaware of any prosecutor who writes better than Swingle. The book is refreshing. Mark Twain almost certainly would have enjoyed it.” Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
    “Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.” Forward, Reviews of Indie Books 
    “Those who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham will enjoy this book.” Lithuanian Librarian

    What happens when you finally listen, not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet hum beneath it? 
    In Interlude, Ellen Nasser gathers the memories, moments, and melodies that have shaped her life into a book that feels like sitting with a trusted friend. From sunlit childhood afternoons in Saltcoats to the foggy edge of midlife reflection, she traces the threads of motherhood, meaning, and belonging with all the mess and the music that shimmer in between. 
    This is not a memoir about having the answers. It is a permission slip: to pause, to soften, to laugh and grieve, to let yourself feel without rushing to fix. It is a companion for anyone longing to hear their own quiet voice again, to remember that the self beneath all the roles we play has always been there. 
    Told first through audio, with Ellen’s own voice and original music, Interlude is meant to be heard, felt, and carried with you, like a familiar melody that keeps calling you back to yourself.

    This book is a timely and unapologetic expose that dismantles the carbon credits system – a $2-trillion climate (so-called) “solution” that has exploited under-developed communities for decades. More than a critique, the book is a bold call for global accountability and a reimagined approach to solving climate change. Carbon credits are a market-based way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by funding projects that remove or avoid emissions from the atmosphere. Based on personal encounters and extensive work across Africa, the author presents the raw truth about what happens when climate policies are manipulated to serve the elite while leaving the most vulnerable to bear the cost. Jaye Connolly demonstrates why the current carbon credits system is failing and, if left unchecked, enables fraud and greenwashing on a huge scale. She goes on to offer real-world solutions for how we can reform this broken system, ensuring that those who are protecting the planet benefit from the climate economy.
