Not Just Painful Periods
'In this essential book, Dr Liz Murray provides accurate, practical and empowering information that every woman should have access to.' - Professor Andrew Horne, Director of Centre for Reproductive Health, University of Edinburgh; Speciality Advisor to CMO for OBGYN, Scottish Government; and President of World Endometriosis SocietyFor generations, women's health concerns have been dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood. But heavy, painful periods are not normal, and suffering in silence should not be an option. In this groundbreaking and compassionate guide, Dr Liz Murray blends medical expertise with her own experience of living with endometriosis and chronic illness, to give readers the clarity, language, and confidence to finally be heard. Drawing on the latest research into endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis and PCOS, Dr Murray explains what's really happening inside your body and how these conditions can affect women in very different ways. She offers practical tools for self-advocacy, demystifies diagnosis, and lays out treatment paths that empower rather than overwhelm. Inside, you'll learn how to:- Spot the early signs your body wants you to notice- Recognise the crucial role of hormones and your immune system play in your health- Navigate the path to diagnosis- Understand your options for treatments- Deal with issues affecting your fertility, menopause, and relationshipsAll women deserve to feel supported and empowered in their own bodies. Not Just Painful Periods is more than book - it's a revolution in women's health, delivered with warmth, wisdom, and unshakeable hope.
Along the Borders
Nationalities are often strongest on the border, where people define themselves in opposition to their neighbours. Flags fly, dialects become stronger, and the distance between 'us' and 'them' grows. But borderlands are also the spaces in between, where centuries of history and culture merge and collide to create complex and shifting identities.
Along the Borders chronicles Richard Collett's multi-year journey, by bus, boat, train, plane, car and on foot, through hundreds of miles of borderlands. But this is not just a book about the United Kingdom's borders and boundaries: it's about the people that live there. Collett speaks to a vivid cast of characters, from nationalists to town criers, from pub landlords to battle reenactors, and charity workers helping refugees on a search for national and personal identity in an increasingly fragmented United Kingdom.
By looking to the borderlands, we can discover the essence of what Britain is and what it isn't. What it has been and what it can be.
The Black Death
In the mid-fourteenth century, a lethal plague struck the medieval world, causing unimaginable suffering and destruction. This terrifying pandemic - the Black Death - was unquestionably one of history's defining episodes, yet a critical feature of its progress has often been ignored: the disease was not confined to Europe, but rather affected almost all of the known world, including the Near and Middle East, Byzantium, north Africa and Asia.
Tracing the pandemic's course across the medieval globe, The Black Death contrasts the experiences of different peoples, including Christians, Muslims and Jews, charting this catastrophe's transformative effects on diverse aspects of medieval life. And crucially, Asbridge demonstrates that the plague was often at its most destructive in the Islamic world, where it ultimately played a role in the collapse of the mighty Mamluk Empire.
The Black Death also brings the human drama of this calamitous era to life, evoking the terror and the turmoil that beset cities such as London, Cairo and Florence. Asbridge reconstructs the lives of the men, women and children who faced the Black Death - from ruling monarchs to peasant farmers - laying bare both the abject horror they endured and the courageous resolve they often demonstrated while striving to survive.
Uncovering a story that speaks to our own age, The Black Death highlights humankind's capacity for compassion and resilience amidst a global crisis to explain how the medieval world confronted, and ultimately overcame, this shattering pandemic.
Old Friends and New Fancies
What unfolds beyond the "happily ever after"? Worlds collide in Sybil G. Brinton's delightful reimagining of the romantic lives of familiar characters from all six of Jane Austen's cherished novels, including Emma, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility. Published in 1913, foreshadowing modern fan fiction, this charming tale filled with wit and gentle humor follows beloved personalities, including Georgiana Darcy as she flees heartbreak for London, Kitty Bennet in her quest for love under Mrs. Emma Knightly's guidance, and Mary Crawford as she tries to rebuild her tarnished reputation and find love anew. A testament to the enduring fandom of Austen's landed gentry world of manners, morals, and matrimonial pursuits in Regency-era England, Brinton's imaginative storytelling is a must-read for Austen literary enthusiasts.
Somme 1916
Gerald Gliddon’s classic survey of the Somme battlefield in 1916, first published in 1987 to great acclaim, has been greatly expanded and updated to include the latest research and analysis. Supported by a wide selection of archive photographs and drawing on the testimony of those who took part, this new edition covers the famous battle sites, such as High Wood and Mametz Wood, as well as the lesser-known villages on the outlying flanks. It includes a day-by-day account of the British build-up on the Somme and the ensuing struggle; British and German orders of battle; and a full history of the cemeteries and memorials, both ‘lost’ and current, that sprang up in the years following the First World War. Gliddon also provides thumbnail biographies of all the senior officers to fall, the winners of the Victoria Cross and those who were ‘shot at dawn’, as well as Somme ‘personalities’ such as George Butterworth. Somme 1916 honours the sacrifices made by the people who fought in one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.

Volání po vzpouře
Ještě včera bylo Hvězdné království Mantichora malým a bezvýznamným ostrůvkem vesmíru. Tichý a nenápadný hvězdný národ, který se teprve nedávno zotavil z ničivé rány Morových let. Možná bohatší než někteří, ale s malým potenciálem pro obchod a nemělo velkou potřebu námořnictva... a ještě menší zájem o jeho zaplacení. Mantichora se však nyní stala terčem. Hvězdné království si není jisté, kdo na něj útočí, proč, nebo co si jeho záhadný nepřítel může přát, ale královna Alžběta I. ví, že to musí zjistit. A ví, že ať už si někteří z jejích poddaných myslí cokoli, Mantichora námořnictvo potřebuje. A potřebuje spojence, přátele, jako je dynamická Republika Haven a Andermanská říše. Potřebuje jejich obchod... a učit se od jejich zkušenějších a mocnějších námořnictev. Úkolem důstojníků, jako je Travis Long a jeho žena Lisa, je tyto zkušenosti získat. Úkolem naprosto nezkušených diplomatů, jako je Travisův bratr Gavin, hrabě Winterfall, je tyto aliance budovat.
Byli vysláni do mocné Andermanské říše, aby to udělali, neboť Imperiální námořnictvo je jednou z nejmocnějších a nejzkušenějších flotil v galaxii. Andermani však mají své vlastní problémy. Smrt jejich Císaře je spouštěčem povstání a nyní je toto mocné a zkušené námořnictvo uvězněno v občanské válce.
Mantichorští návštěvníci se ocitnou přímo v cestě bouře a než Travis, Lisa a Gavin stihnou cokoli jiného, musí nejprve přežít.
Aspects of the Late Roman Republic, 133-44BC
The period 133-44BC, bookended by the murders of Tiberius Gracchus and Julius Caesar, was one of profound political change in the Roman world. Aspects of the Late Roman Republic, 133-44BC: Dipping into Cicero’s ‘Romulan Cesspool’ collects a series of 58 essays on various events and people of that era that can frequently be overlooked in larger works. The chapters appear in a variety of approaches and lengths. Some look at humorous happenings, others investigate interesting personages and events – examples include a look at Cato the Younger possibly interviewing a pharaoh whilst sitting on the lavatory, an inventor and house ‘flipper’ called Sergius Orata, the revolt of Lepidus, and the fixing of an election. While aiming to be interesting and entertaining, the entries can also serve as jumping-off points for more in-depth study. To facilitate this, each chapter lists the secondary sources used in its creation, which doubles as ‘Further Reading’. So, if you want more on the Gracchi, Marius, Sulla, Rome’s wars (internal and external), political trials, revolts or another subject addressed within, help is provided. There are also three subcollections interspersed throughout the compilation – the Catonic Interludes, which look at aspects of the career of Cato the Younger; Caesarian Setbacks, which look at battlefield defeats inflicted on Caesar and his lieutenants, while Avenging the Triumvirs looks at the fates of the men involved in the murders of Crassus, Pompey and Caesar. Looking at the Contents, you would be forgiven for thinking that ‘The Murder of…’ and ‘The Trial of…’ were also subcategories given how often chapters could be summed up in that manner…But then this Ancient Rome after all…

Systém odsudzujúci nedokonalosť v sebe ukrýva omnoho viac, akoby sme povedali, a už čoskoro vycerí prvé, ale ostré zúbky. Andrea nebojuje o svoj život len s kalorickými tabuľkami, nedostačujúcim obvodom pásu, najmenšími konfekčnými veľkosťami, vlastným vkusom či životným štýlom...

Hry bohov
V smrteľných hrách je v stávke jej život – aj jej srdce
Bohovia sa radi zahrávajú so smrteľníkmi. A každých sto rokov im to dovolíme...
Lyra Keresová nikdy nebola u bohov obľúbená. Keď bola malá, rodičia ju ponúkli Rádu zlodejov, aby zaplatili dlhy. Odvtedy nad jej hlavou visí kliatba, ktorú na ňu uvrhol samotný Zeus. Lyra celý život dúfala, že ak nebude vyčnievať, rozmarní bohovia z Olympu si ju nevšimnú. Nebolo to vôbec ľahké, ale zvládla to, prežila. Jedného dňa však narazí na toho najnebezpečnejšieho z nich – Háda.
Po prvý raz sa nemilosrdný kráľ podsvetia rozhodol zúčastniť turnaja, ktorého víťaz zasadne na Olymp a bude vládnuť nasledovné storočie. No namiesto toho, aby bohovia sami bojovali vlastné bitky, vyberajú si do nich smrteľníkov. Prečo si Hádes zvolil práve Lyru, ktorá nie je ničím výnimočná okrem svojho sarkazmu a kliatby? A prečo sa jej srdce rozochveje zakaždým, keď povie, že mu patrí? Lyra netuší, či je pre Háda len pešiakom, návnadou, alebo čímsi iným. S istotou však vie, že Hádes hrá podľa vlastných pravidiel. A že smrť vždy vyhráva... za každú cenu.

Zakázaná láska
Cozy romantasy plné iskier, napätia, humoru a nehy
Guinevere má svoju budúcnosť dávno naplánovanú. Ako dcéra ctižiadostivého obchodníka sa má výhodne vydať, zabezpečiť rodinu a stať sa poslušnou manželkou niekoho, koho sotva pozná. Lenže ona túži po niečom celkom inom – po slobode, dobrodružstve a vášni.
Keď jej sprievod prepadnú lupiči a ona zostane sama na nebezpečnej Jantárovej ceste, zachráni ju Oskar – tichý, mrzutý polork s temnou minulosťou, ktorý očividne stráca trpezlivosť s rozmaznaným dievčiskom, ktoré sa odmieta držať bokom.
Na spoločnej ceste plnej nástrah, iskrenia a slovných prestreliek Guinevere zisťuje, že svet je oveľa divokejší – a zábavnejší – než si kedy predstavovala. A Oskar pomaly odhaľuje, že aj v jeho srdci je miesto pre niečo, čomu sa doteraz vyhýbal.
Zakázaná láska je úsmevný romantický fantasy príbeh o túžbe po slobode, sile citov a voľbe medzi tým, čo od nás očakáva svet – a tým, čo skutočne chceme.
