  Once timid and unsure of her own salvation, New Zealander Florence Young rose to her calling and became a fearless and faithful witness for Jesus Christ. Eventually serving in the remote Solomon Islands and, for a season, in China during the deadly Boxer Rebellion, Florence began her service close to home. This one woman's mission to the Solomon Islanders, or Kanakas, working on her family's Australian plantation soon expanded to their home islands. There, as Florence and others helped Kanaka believers reach out to villages steeped in cannibalism and revenge killings, thousands of people were transformed by the love of God.

  THE UNTOLD, INSIDE STORY OF MY LIFE AT RANGERS FC AND IN BUSINESS 
   
  Sir David Murray’s life story is a truly remarkable tale of never-say-die triumph over unimaginable adversity. 
   
  For 50 years he has been a towering figure in Scottish business, sport and philanthropy. His family name is synonymous with steel but his rise to power owes as much to mettle as it does to metal. 
   
  At the age of 24 he was involved in a horrific car crash in which he lost both of his legs. As his life hung in the balance, his days in hospital, drifting in and out of consciousness, were nightmare moments but ones that would define him. 
   
  And in the aftermath, when he finally pulled through, he had stark choices to make. ‘I could fight or I could give up,’ he said. ‘Turn left or turn right.’ David Murray almost always chose wisely and has never once shied away from big decisions. This is a man who thrived on the big stage, as the owner of Rangers Football Club during an unprecedented era of success. He won nine league titles in a row, oversaw some memorable European campaigns, all while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Graeme Souness and Sir Sean Connery. 
   
  He led the talks on the Old Firm clubs joining the English football pyramid, while his sale of the club to Craig Whyte set off a chain of events that eventually saw the club liquidated. 
   
  Now, for the first time, and in his own words, he is offering a deeply personal insight into his extraordinary life and how he courageously recovered from his accident and then went on to become such a successful entrepreneur. 
   
  He also gives us his thoughts on the Old Firm rivalry, explains why Celtic Park wasn’t the most hostile ground in Scotland for Rangers to visit... and describes how he beat world champion Stephen Hendry at snooker!

  Survival Food - North Woods...

  In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the government—like canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggs—that made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.” These stories from the author’s teen and tween years—some serious, some laugh-out-loud funny—will take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to North Woods bowling alleys, while providing Weso’s perspective on the political currents of the era. The book also contains dozens of recipes, from turtle soup and gray squirrel stew to twice-baked cheesy potatoes. This follow-up to Weso’s Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir is a hybrid of modern foodways, Indigenous history, and creative nonfiction from a singular storyteller. “This book is not only about survival food, but about the singular beauty, creativity, and fortitude that comes out of that survival.” —Chef Sean Sherman, author, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen “Survival Food is interesting because it’s one part cookbook, three parts memoir, one part history, and one part multidisciplinary exploration of its setting, northern Wisconsin." —James Norton, The Cookbook Test

  Women in Ancient Rome - Roles...

  In Ancient Rome, women’s roles were predominantly shaped by social class, family status, and cultural expectations. Their daily lives varied significantly based on whether they were elite, freeborn, or enslaved, but a common thread was their primary responsibility within the household. Roman society placed great emphasis on the domestic sphere, where women were expected to manage the home, care for children, and support their husbands. Despite limited political power, women played crucial roles within their families and communities. 
  Elite women, often from patrician families, had access to wealth and social influence, but their activities were still largely confined to the private domain. These women managed large households, supervised slaves, and ensured the proper upbringing of their children. They also engaged in weaving, spinning, and other domestic crafts, which were considered virtuous pursuits even among the wealthy. While they did not hold formal political roles, elite women could indirectly influence public affairs through their relationships with powerful men, including husbands, fathers, and sons. Their ability to host social gatherings allowed them to form networks that could subtly shape political alliances. 
  For women of the lower classes, life was markedly different. These women often worked outside the home as vendors, laborers, or artisans, contributing to their family's income. Unlike elite women, who enjoyed a degree of protection within their households, working-class women faced the challenges of manual labor and financial insecurity. Some even managed small businesses or worked as midwives, nurses, or seamstresses. Despite the hardships, these women exhibited resilience and resourcefulness, balancing work and family responsibilities in a demanding social environment.
