  What does it truly mean to live a good life? 
  The Discourses of Epictetus is one of the most powerful and practical works of Stoic philosophy ever recorded. These teachings come from Epictetus, a Greek philosopher who lived nearly two thousand years ago and whose ideas continue to guide readers seeking wisdom, resilience, and inner peace. 
  Born into slavery in the Roman Empire, Epictetus later became a respected teacher of philosophy. His life itself was a powerful example of his central teaching: that true freedom does not depend on wealth, status, or external circumstances. Instead, it comes from mastering our thoughts, our choices, and our character. 
  The conversations in this book were carefully recorded by his student Arrian, allowing us to hear Epictetus speaking directly to his students. His teachings are practical, direct, and often challenging, encouraging listeners to examine their beliefs and learn how to live with discipline, courage, and clarity. 
  In The Discourses, you will discover timeless lessons on how to: 
  - Focus on what you can control and let go of what you cannot 
  - Develop self-discipline and strength of character 
  - Face difficulties and setbacks with calm and resilience 
  - Free yourself from unnecessary worry and frustration 
  - Live with purpose, wisdom, and integrity 
  Though these teachings were recorded nearly two thousand years ago, their insights remain deeply relevant today. Epictetus reminds us that while we cannot control the events of the world, we can always control how we respond to them. 
  The Discourses is more than a philosophical text—it is a practical guide for anyone seeking a calmer mind, stronger character, and a wiser way of living. 
  A timeless classic of Stoic philosophy and a powerful guide to mastering yourself.

  New Zealand's underworld of organised crime and deadly gangs 
    
  'The best true-crime book of the year by a long stretch.'- Steve Braunias, Newsroom  
  'A series of rip-snorting yarns about gangs, drugs, fancy cars, wads of cash, violence, and guns - Aotearoa New Zealand style.' 
  - Simon Bridges 
  New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organised crime is about making money. It's a business. But over the past 20 years, the dealers have graduated from motorcycle gangs to Asian crime syndicates and now the most dangerous drug lords in the world - the Mexican cartels. 
  In Gangland, award-winning investigative reporter Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand's rising underworld of organised crime and violent gangs. 
  The brutal execution of a husband-and-wife; the undercover cop who infiltrated a casino VIP lounge; the midnight fishing trip which led to the country's biggest cocaine bust; the gangster who shot his best friend in a motorcycle shop: these stories go behind the headlines and open the door to an invisible world - a world where millions of dollars are made, life is cheap, and allegiances change like the flick of a switch.

  Middle East in World War I The:...

  World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.  
  	Most books and documentaries about the First World War focus on the carnage of the Western Front, where Germany faced off against France, the British Empire, and their allies in a grueling slugfest that wasted millions of lives. The shattered landscape of the trenches has become symbolic of the war as a whole, and it is this experience that everyone associates with World War I, but that front was not the only experience. There was the more mobile Eastern Front, as well as mountain warfare in the Alps and scattered fighting in Africa and the Far East. 
  	Then there was the Middle Eastern Front, fought across the Levant and Mesopotamia, which captured the imagination of the European public. There, the British and their allies fought the Ottoman Turkish Empire under harsh desert conditions hundreds of miles from home, struggling for possession of places most people only knew from the Bible and the Koran.
