    In May 1982, Captain Roger Field, The Blues and Royals, attached to HQ 5th Infantry Brigade, sailed on the Queen Elizabeth 2 as part of the second wave to liberate the Falkland Islands. Surprised by what he saw at Brigade HQ, he started writing a diary. 
His journey took him to Fitzroy as the Argentinean aircraft struck the landing ships Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram. A chance meeting led him to fighting alongside the Commanding Officer of 2 Para at the Battle of Wireless Ridge. When the commander of one of the four attached armoured cars of The Blues and Royals was knocked out part way through the battle, Roger took command of that Scimitar. Next day his Scimitar was at the very tip of the spear as 2 Para and The Blues and Royals led the victorious charge into Port Stanley. 
‘Revisionist’ in places and always refreshingly candid, this account is unique as it describes the War from the viewpoint of a staff officer, infanteer and armoured vehicle commander. A gripping listen.

    She enters the room—and instantly wishes she hadn't.
At an elegant party in London, Mabel wears a dress she believed would make her feel confident and admired. Instead, surrounded by polished guests and unspoken judgments, she spirals into doubt, self-consciousness, and quiet despair. In a single evening, Woolf exposes how society's smallest moments can wound the deepest parts of the self.

Acclaimed as "one of Woolf's most devastatingly precise short stories," this work captures the inner turbulence hidden beneath polite smiles. Through fluid thought and emotional intensity, Woolf reveals how identity, class, and insecurity shape human experience.

If you love introspective fiction, modernist insight, and stories that say everything in a few pages, this unforgettable short story will linger in your mind.

Open the book—and step into a moment where appearance becomes fate.

    Do fears, excessive worries and anxiety prevent your child from living what should be the best and most carefree years of their life? 
Wouldn't it be nice if you could just flip a switch and make his or her shyness disappear? 
Have the various strategies that you have used been useless, leaving you with the feeling that you have missed something? 
I recommend that you read and have your child read this manual if, in the past three months, he has been overwhelmed by:Nervousness and irritability: adolescents may feel nervous or angry for no reason.Sleep disturbances: difficulty falling asleep, interrupted or shallow sleep or early awakening or, conversely, hypersomnia, or the need to sleep more than necessary.Outbursts of anger: sometimes girls or boys, even quiet or introverted ones, may have outbursts of anger or fits of tears for no apparent reason.Distractibility, loss of contact with the outside world: sometimes, some adolescents are so caught up in their malaise that they appear extremely disoriented or detached from reality.Depressed mood, negativity, pessimism and low self-esteem.Physical symptoms: anxiety in adolescence often manifests itself mainly through the body. Headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhoea, muscle aches and the need to urinate frequently are just some of the most common somatic symptoms. 
Unlike other publications, this book isn't just for teens. Anyone can use it. And it doesn't read like a college course, it'll let you know what's going on in a teenager's head. 
In reality, there is no aspect of your life in which this workbook is not helpful. So why let shyness and anxiety rule your life any more?
