  What if the path to inner peace leads to outright disaster?  
  Donna seems to have it all - a generous husband, two healthy kids, a Jersey shore home - but something is missing. When she signs up for yoga teacher training, her carefully cultivated life begins to crumble. Her husband is having an affair. Dangerous childhood secrets resurface. Her career goes sideways. And she doesn’t even like yoga . . . yet.  
  As Donna reels and heals, she discovers love, rescues dogs, and confronts yet another crisis of faith when a loved one falls ill.  
  A devastating but funny, life-affirming love story, We’ve Got to Stop Meeting Like This is for anyone who has ever dared to fight for what matters - and believes it’s never too late to find love or enlightenment. 
  But not necessarily in that order.

  This is the charming and poignant account of twenty-five years spent in Orkney. After her marriage to an islander, Christine Muir went to live on the tiny island of North Ronaldsay, where she and her husband brought up their four children and ran a small croft.
  Following the seasons though the year, Orkney Days is full of observations of the natural world at their doorstep. Beautiful descriptions of the island and its flora and fauna – from wildflowers and medicinal herbs to seals and seabirds – are mingled with memories of a young family growing up and the rhythms of daily life far from the bustle of the modern world. There is much too about the work involved in running their croft and the cattle and sheep that are its mainstay, about the traditions and lore of the island which stretch back over countless generations, and about the modern developments which changed it forever.

  The Invasion of Italy - How the...

  The invasion of Italy was one of the pivotal campaigns of World War II, playing a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory in Europe. Southern Europe, particularly Italy, was seen as a gateway for the Allies to weaken Nazi forces, divert their attention from the Eastern Front, and eventually push towards Germany. But the road to Italy was not a simple or straightforward one. It was a strategic decision shaped by both military considerations and political imperatives. 
    
  Following the successful invasion of North Africa and the defeat of Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943, the Allies were left with a significant question: what would be their next move? While the focus remained on the ultimate goal of defeating Nazi Germany, the question of how best to proceed in the Mediterranean theater became a subject of intense debate. Some leaders, particularly in the United Kingdom, advocated for an immediate assault on France through a cross-channel invasion, while others, notably U.S. leaders, saw the conquest of Italy as an essential stepping stone toward that final invasion. 
    
  Italy's location in the heart of the Mediterranean made it a prime target for an invasion. Not only did it offer a direct path into Europe, but it also served as a critical base for Axis operations. The Italian peninsula was seen as both a vulnerable and strategically significant part of the Axis defense. The Allies understood that by attacking Italy, they would draw German resources away from the Eastern Front, weaken Axis control of the Mediterranean, and force Italy to the negotiating table—if not outright force its surrender.
