  On the ground, in the air, and behind the lines, grunts made life-and-death decisions every day—and endured the worst stress of their young lives. 
   
   
   
  It was the tumultuous year 1968, and Robert Tonsetic was Rifle Company commander of the 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry in Vietnam. He took over a group of grunts demoralized by defeat but determined to get even. Through the legendary Tet and May Offensives, he led, trained, and risked his life with these brave men, and this is the thrilling, brutal, and honest story of his tour of duty. Tonsetic tells of leading a seriously undermanned ready-reaction force into a fierce, three-day battle with a ruthless enemy battalion; conducting surreal night airmobile assaults and treks through fetid, pitch-black jungles; and relieving combat stress by fishing with hand grenades and taking secret joyrides in Hueys. 
   
   
   
  During that fateful year, as unrest erupted at home and politicians groped for a way out of the war, Tonsetic and his men did their job as soldiers and earned the title "Warriors."

  One Great Family: Domestic...

  Simone Höhn

  This study examines concepts of morality and structures of domestic relationships in Samuel Richardson's novels, situating them in the context of eighteenth-century moral writings and reader reactions. Based on a detailed analysis of Richardson's work, this book maintains that he sought both to uphold hierarchical concepts of individual duty, and to warn of the consequences if such hierarchies were abused. In his final novel, Richardson aimed at a synthesis between social hierarchy and individual liberty, patriarchy and female self-fulfilment. His work, albeit rooted in patriarchal values, paved the way for proto-feminist conceptions of female character.

  If you struggle with relationship overthinking, constant analysis, or anxiety about what your partner is thinking, this audiobook is for you. 
   
  Understanding overthinking is the first step.
   
  Learning how to interrupt it in real life is the next.
   
  In The Practice of Being Present, Rowan E. Sages moves beyond theory and introduces practical skills for navigating relationship anxiety as it happens — in real conversations, real moments, and real emotional triggers.
   
  Even when you understand the pattern, your mind may still try to analyze everything:
   
  • replaying conversations
  • searching for reassurance
  • imagining worst-case scenarios
  • trying to read your partner’s thoughts
   
  This audiobook teaches the psychological skills that allow you to step out of that loop.
   
  Inside, you’ll learn how to:
   
  • recognize overthinking as it begins
  • tolerate uncertainty without spiraling into analysis
  • shift from mental interpretation to emotional presence
  • communicate directly instead of trying to mind-read
  • build trust in your own perceptions and responses
   
  These practices don’t promise to eliminate overthinking completely.
   
  Instead, they help you develop something more powerful:
   
  The ability to stay present in your relationship even when your mind wants to spiral.
   
  When overthinking loses control, space opens up for something that may have been missing for a long time:
   
  Clarity.
  Connection.
  And the freedom to actually experience your relationship instead of endlessly analyzing it.
   
  This is Book 2 of the Stop Overthinking Your Relationship series, focused on practical skills for emotional clarity, presence, and trust.

  What can we really do about the climate emergency?  
    
  The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing – or even just slowing – it will affect all of us. But it can be done. 
  In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change. 
  Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm’s measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do. 
  Helm's Net Zero is a comprehensive exploration of the climate crisis, covering everything from the science of global warming to the political and social implications of environmental conservation. It's a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the role of technology, agriculture, and public administration in achieving a net zero future. 
  For fans of Isabella Tree (Wilding), Vaclav Smil (Size), Bill Gates (Source Code), Linda J. Lear (Under the Sea Wind), and Rachel Carson (The Edge of the Sea).
