How does one arrive at the harbour of inner peace, security and happiness which they are looking for? Self-Love for Women identifies the biggest barrier that women must overcome in order to reach a state of true happiness: toxic femininity. It explains what self-love really is, how to achieve it, and how to use it to triumph over suffering in order to acquire self-validation, self-worth, self-sufficiency and self-understanding.Within these pages, we meet twelve ordinary women and hear of their hopes, loves, despair, pain and triumphs. Through their stories, we learn about toxic femininity and why it is something that every woman on the planet will encounter during their lives. With a greater understanding of how it affects us all, we can overcome suffering and find the path to totally inclusive self-love.This ground-breaking book from Van Thanh Binh and Stephen Whitehead has been written to help the reader achieve a contented and optimal state of self-love through nurture, protection and empowerment without limits.

In 1588, a fleet of Spanish ships carrying an army of soldiers sailed towards England. After meeting up with the Duke of Parma in Flanders, their aim was to land an invasion force on English soil and depose the Protestant Queen Elizabeth.This fascinating book from Michael Sheane explores Ireland's part in the Armada. With a Catholic population, Ireland was seen as a safer place to drop anchor, obtain provisions and repair the ships that had been pummelled by the wind, waves and the English Navy. However, the Emerald Isle was full of troops that were loyal to the crown, and coming ashore was nowhere near as simple a task as the Spanish had hoped. With a lack of knowledge of the seas around Ireland's north, west and south coasts, many Spanish ships became wrecks which live on in today's memory through the naming of the locations at which they met their dreadful end.

On the beautiful island of Guernsey is an art gallery by the name of La Perle.

These are the war memoirs of Gil Mock, as told to his son-in-law, Robert E. Lee.1940 - Sapper Gilbert Mock, British Expeditionary Force is ordered to blow up a bridge over the River Somme. Why? To buy time for over 300,000 of his comrades to be evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk.Today, this necessary rearguard action fought by men like Gil is largely overlooked whenever the remarkable events of Operation Dynamo are celebrated, but many were killed or spent the next five years in prisoner of war camps. Gil, however, despite his parents receiving a 'missing in action, believed dead' telegram from the War Office, made an eventful 350 mile journey (despite his bad feet!) to St Malo and the Last Boat Home.

This book consists of a collection of poems from David Bowker; the majority were written in the autumn of 2022, but others are from the mid-1990s and the 2010s. The poems are observations and thoughts on life - they are responses to the author's experiences. Though David's creative life has largely been as a visual artist through painting, drawing, collage and photography - something that continues - the autumn of 2022 brought a need to express through words. The fruits of this period have been collated with those other poems from earlier years for this book.

Anna Claire has written these poems with older schoolchildren in mind, hoping they will encourage lively debate and reflection. Many of the poems are personal, and some are tragic but they are based on situations and circumstances that most of us encounter or face at some point during our lifetime.Reflection enables us to respond to others with understanding, and perhaps with the benefit of doing so, we are better equipped to deal with that which might otherwise overwhelm oneself, or those close to us.The human spirit is strong and has amazing abilities to overcome difficulties.

The day came when I could stand it no longer!Whenever I arrived anywhere (usually with a burst of "You're not gonna believe this...") the people around me knew that they would be in for yet another tale of woe about something that had just happened to me during my journey. Some would say, "I don't know why you don't write this all down." My answer was always that no one would believe me... but, then again, perhaps someone out there just might.So here it is, written down. This book has been written by me for all of you. From footie fans to comical commuters, from dodgy dog-walkers to hapless (or should that be helpless) hotel guests, from what not to do at pelican crossings to tucking into a takeaway on a Friday night - it's all here. Now, I don't know if you are going to believe what you are about to read or not, but I can assure you that some, most or indeed all the events related in this book have happened (or will happen) to you at some point... and I wish you the very best of luck in trying not to laugh when they do!
