As a young man, he fought bravely in the French and Indian War, honing his military skills and developing a deep understanding of the frontier. This experience would prove invaluable in the years to come, as he would lead the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War.

With unwavering determination and strategic brilliance, Washington rallied his troops, forged alliances, and overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to secure American independence. Through his leadership, the fledgling nation emerged victorious, and Washington became a symbol of courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to liberty.

With wisdom and foresight, he guided the young republic through its formative years, setting precedents that would shape the course of American history for generations to come.

Perfect Your Writing - How to be...

William Strunk Jr., Mark Twain,...

Are you keen to perfect your writing? This audiobook will teach you how to be a stylish, insightful and convincing writer. This compilation includes Twain's On the Decay of the Art of Lying, Strunk's The Elements of Style, and Bennett's The Author's Craft - all in one.The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr first clarifies the writer's understanding of how to - correctly. In it, Strunk has laid a detailed, essential map, one he believed pays off, for in unlocking the secrets of style, one opens the terrain for mastery of literature.Now over a century since its first publication, the book is anything but outdated, as it is still widely used today – just testament to Strunk’s timeless knowledge and mastery with the pen."The skilled observer ... does not have to change his mind." – Arnold Bennett.The Author's Craft is Arnold Bennett’s four-part writing tutorial. As an esteemed journalist, novelist and playwright, he believed truly 'Seeing Life' primed the pen, out of which 'Writing Novels', 'Writing Plays' and 'The Artist and The Public' emerge. In the exposition, he expands on how to see the world, and how to not overlook the details most miss… These skills and techniques give rise to the craft he feels the author is really trying to achieve: art.Mark Twain’s “On the Decay of the Art of Lying” was his wryly told essay on why he felt the world needs educated lying, published in 1880 for a meeting of the Historical and Antiquarian Club of Hartford, Connecticut. The way he saw it, everyone lies at some point in their lives. Twain decided that lying could be a valuable skillset in various different arenas - provided you knew how to do it well, and didn’t try to hurt anybody. As he put it, "What chance has the ignorant uncultivated liar against the educated expert? What chance have I against Mr. Per—against a lawyer? Judicious lying is what the world needs."

We rely on our bodies from the minute we wake up, whether consciously or unconsciously. When we glance in the mirror, we may notice changes in our bodies, and even tiny alterations can impact how we feel about ourselves. The image we have of our bodies impacts how we feel our bodies in daily life.Shame can be found in the bedroom, at the beach, in the doctor's office, and in the therapist's office. Shame can be seen in the mirror and on camera. It has many consequences, from low self-esteem to addiction, from rare medical attention to suicide. Shame is a health and wellness issue and a community and family issue that is both deeply personal and publicly political.
