  When Nia Chiaramonte came out as a trans woman to her wife Katie, she knew she would be met with a loving response. But she was less sure where this would leave their relationship, their marriage, and their family.

They needed a guide for what lay ahead.

  FREEDOM: The Authorized...

  The nature of money as gates and letters revealed gives light to the nations of humankind to find in troubled times a historic luxury and modern necessity in the FML FIREs: these are the first constitutional centers of foundation money law governance and the prize of digital revolution. Through the architectures in the top layer of the double blue ON/E Divide, Intel-Modernized Governance from each city center in vertical international parallel selects for the lettered gates of economic FREEDOM and systemically discriminates against and shuts down the old capitalist unlimited extremist forms lettered as DEATH. Free artists, the Rolling service, Experts, Élites, Developers, Officers and Managers are the chosen occupational categories in the foundation money law range. Each HOME Medallion bank card that is encoded to FREEDOM is recognized by our constitutional conscience in the FML FIREs as constitutionally fit to transact. Each nation is redeemed with a capitalist ltd olympic spirit infused economy. As we no longer merely pay taxes to the discretion of full grey governments, the contingent capitalist excesses fall away and the suite of necessarily capitalist ltd institutions and businesses emerge. Prior to the digital revolution, the foundation money law was ungovernable and thus irrelevant: though now from each city central FML FIRE, Intel-Modernized Governance center-checks every Medallion Bank Card in transaction. The eyes behind the FML FIRE, in three charismatic forms, see through the top layer of the double blue ON/E Divide, travelling the speed of light to protect both the three and national class ruling structure from trespass and the first freedom of every man to earn and build HOME Wealth from trespass. It is finally with our HOME Patriot Medallions’ support that the ON/E Divide vertical boundary is built between the capitalist ltd economy that lives above and the five occupational evils that die below.

  'The poem I had planned to write on the banks of the Ganga was never written. But it materialized in my life.'Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), Nobel laureate and polymath, is one of the most eminent Indian writers of world literature. This volume presents new English translations of twenty of his short stories. Taking in a wide variety of registers (comedies, tragedies, the mundane and the fantastical), the selection showcases Tagore as one of the earliest practitioners of the short story genre in the Bengali language, influenced by both Indian and Western traditions. In particular, Tagore added a unique style of his own to Western conventions of the short story form, allowing him to present the everyday in literary vignettes, seamlessly weaving in the rhythms of daily life, rural landscapes. The stories also offer social critiques—of colonialism, dowry, and immolation of widows. A highly sensitive and thoughtful observer of life, Tagore's vision transcends regional boundaries, embracing a universal humanity that resonates across cultures, while never denouncing a deep indigeneity.These authoritative translations by a team of expert scholars are accompanied by Sumit Chakrabarti's introduction, reflecting on the literary and historical implications of Tagore's stories.

  Endurance - An Epic of Polar...

  The legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance. 
   
   
   
  "You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the Endurance, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. "What the ice gets," replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, "the ice keeps." It did not, however, get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. 
   
   
   
  First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed 1914-1916 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the history of exploration.

  The Road

  A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 
  ‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph 
  ‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The Times 
  Have you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road?  
  For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look. 
  In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today. 
  Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil. 
  Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets. 
  In his latest work, The Road, Christopher Hadley delves into the historical and social aspects of Roman roads, enriching them with elements of mythology and folklore. His unique approach to historiography breathes new life into our understanding of past civilizations and their impact on our current geography. 
  For fans of Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Robert Macfarlane (Mountains of the Mind), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Andrew Ziminski (Church Going), and Eleanor Parker (Winters in the World).
