  In the dim and distant past, when a Lady had servants to look after her house and there was no Mrs Hinch, she relied on the Edwardian bible for the household: the Woman's Book, a weighty tome full of useful information, hints and tips on how to run her household.
  With everything from the price of setting up and furnishing a new home to how to clean, deal with the paperwork, remove stains, wash and iron clothes properly, and generally run a house in the Edwardian period, this book, written in the rather formal style of 1911, is a mine of useful information, much of it still valid today.

  Difficult seasons catch us off guard and make us feel like life won’t ever make sense again. 
  On our worst days, it’s hard to believe that God will guide us through the mess. Even on our good days, when we feel we have done all the right things, we may wonder: 
  Why am I working this job? 
  Am I making a difference? 
  How do I know the way to go? 
  Why can’t I seem to be content? 
  In Nothing Wasted, we see how we mature in time. Like fog dissipating, we recognize how God is gently leading us through each season of our lives. We may be struggling, but we are moving forward. 
  Our faith is not unseen. 
  Our moments are not wasted. 
  All the pain that comes in these seasons does lead to a full, rich life, growing in relationship with God and with others.

  Forging the Will to Fight 
  By Heston Russell 
  In Forging the Will to Fight, retired Special Forces Major Heston Russell delivers a raw and deeply personal memoir that cuts through the mythology of war to reveal the real human cost — and courage — of leadership in combat and beyond. 
  From commanding elite Australian commandos in Afghanistan and Iraq to facing the internal battles of identity, purpose, and public scrutiny, Heston’s story is one of intense service, sacrifice, and the lifelong pursuit of integrity. Through powerful firsthand accounts, the book captures the adrenaline of missions, the heartbreak of loss, and the heavy responsibility of leading others through the most unforgiving conditions. 
  But the battlefield is only the beginning. 
  Returning home, Heston finds himself in a new kind of fight — for justice, for truth, and for the honour of his platoon. His landmark Federal Court defamation victory against the ABC is not just a legal case but a stand against the erosion of trust, truth, and the dignity of those who serve. 
  Forging the Will to Fight is more than a military memoir. It is a guide to resilience, a reflection on leadership forged in adversity, and a call to live with courage, character, and conviction. This is a story for anyone who has ever questioned their purpose — and fought to find it.

  The Battle of Kursk was one of the most pivotal campaigns of World War II and Germany's final strategic offensive on the Eastern Front. 
   
  Soviet armies had recently occupied the city of Kursk and the Germans aimed to pinch off the salient and cut off its supply chain. But Commander Erich von Manstein did not anticipate the Soviet's dramatic counter offensive, resulting in one of the bloodiest encounters of the Second World War which turned the tide against Adolf Hitler. 
   
  Rupert Matthews narrates these dramatic events, outlining the strategic situation in 1943, the breakdown in Nazi chain of command and the circumstances of the Battle of Prokhorovka, one of the largest tank battles in military history. 
   
  The Battle of Kursk is a fascinating account of a major campaign that involved more than 3 million men, 8,000 tanks, 40,000 guns and 5,500 aircraft. The Soviets suffered extreme casualties, but their eventual victory left the road to Berlin open...

  Challenge convention and explore one of the most influential arguments for reason, liberty, and religious skepticism in The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine. 
   
  Written with Paine’s characteristic clarity and force, this provocative classic examines organized religion, biblical authority, revelation, and the relationship between faith and reason. Paine argues for deism—a belief in God grounded in reason and the natural world—while questioning doctrines he believed could not withstand rational examination. 
   
  Bold, controversial, and historically significant, The Age of Reason remains essential listening for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, Enlightenment thought, free inquiry, and the intellectual foundations of the modern world.

  Not long ago, having published two narratives of voyages in the Pacific, which, in many quarters, were received with incredulity, the thought occurred to me, of indeed writing a romance of Polynesian adventure, and publishing it as such; to see whether, the fiction might not, possibly, be received for a verity: in some degree the reverse of my previous experience.This thought was the germ of others, which have resulted in Mardi. New York, January..FROM THE BOOKS.
