100 Ways I Almost Died

Bram Connolly

Incredible stories of combat and survival from over twenty years in the Army and Special Forces 
 
 
For more than two decades, Bram Connolly's life was a relentless march through some of the world's most volatile landscapes, brutal conflicts and extreme training. Serving in the Australian Army and the elite Commando Regiment, he took part in dozens of high risk operations – including counter terrorism missions – each marked by close calls and narrow escapes. Many of the dangers he faced were only fully exposed hours, days or even months later. 
 
In 100 Ways I Almost Died, readers are thrust into the heart pounding reality of military life: falling from cliffs, planes and helicopters, dodging RPGs and machine gun fire, battling hypothermia and heat exhaustion, escaping asphyxiation in a snow cave, stepping on an IED, avoiding sniper fire and leading assaults on enemy compounds. 
 
But this book is far more than a catalogue of near misses. It's a sharp, often sobering exploration of situational awareness, the unseen hazards that lurk behind every decision and the sheer unpredictability of combat; where even the most prepared soldiers rely, at times, on luck alone. 
 
 
Both a cautionary tale and a tribute to the resilience of those who serve, Bram offers a rare and gripping insight into the hidden and the hard-won lessons forged in moments where life hangs in the balance.

The Once and Future Sex - Going...

Eleanor Janega

A vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women's beauty, sexuality, and behavior. 
 
 
 
What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be? In this high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time—and what hasn't. 
 
 
 
Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable, and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. 
 
 
 
In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

Through the Magic Door

Arthur Conan Doyle

Through the Magic Door by great mystery writer Arthur Conan Doyle is about Doyle's favorite books and the intelligent minds behind them. Excerpt: "I care not how humble your bookshelf may be, nor how lowly the room which it adorns. Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left all that is vulgar and all that is sordid behind you. There stand your noble, silent comrades, waiting in their ranks."
