Across Sicily with Garibaldi's Thousand
The 1860 Expedition of the Thousand, in which a group of volunteers led by Giuseppe Garibaldi sailed from Quarto, near Genoa, landing on the west coast of Sicily and advancing to its capital Palermo in a bid to liberate the island from Bourbon rule, is perhaps the defining moment of the unification of Italy, and a testament to the bravery, resilience and vision of the country’s last condottiere. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary diaries and other first-hand accounts by the protagonists of the events, and interspersing them with his own penetrating remarks, best-selling author Tim Parks retraces the journey of the “Mille” through the ragged landscape of Sicily under the blazing summer heat, bringing back to life an entire world in all its intricate complexity. Along the way he revisits old controversies and provides answers to many unresolved questions – as well as offering a vivid commentary on the Italy of today.
The Longevity Nutrient
Unlock the secret to longevity with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson’s “groundbreaking, once-in-a-century discovery” (Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author) of the molecule C15:0—an essential fat found in whole milk, cheese, and fatty fish—that can improve your health and increase your lifespan. The hunt for the holy grail of healthy aging has been ongoing for hundreds of years, and Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson may be its most unlikely champion. As a veterinary epidemiologist, she was recruited by the US Navy to lead a clinical research program to continually improve the health of Navy dolphins. Using advanced biotechnology to study the healthiest aging dolphins, she discovered C15:0, a saturated fat which has the potential to expand both the health-span and lifespan in long-lived mammals. In The Longevity Nutrient, Dr. Venn-Watson unveils the science behind C15:0, the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in nearly a hundred years. This revolutionary discovery identifies the crucial ingredient for combating chronic aging-associated diseases. This book unfolds like a detective story, bringing you along through the science and discovery of this extraordinary nutrient. The implications of adding this nutrient back into the American diet could not be more significant. Mounting scientific evidence supports that C15:0 can: - Reduce the risk of and reverse fatty liver disease. - Reduce the risk of and reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease. - Meaningfully slow the effects of aging to improve overall well-being. Perhaps the most surprising discovery? In the end, it may just be the saturated fat that saves us all. In this “life-changing” (Thomas DeLauer, author of Intermittent Fasting Made Easy) book, Dr. Venn-Watson tells the extraordinary story of this discovery and examines the paradigm shifting implications for human health and aging. She presents the easy, practical steps for you to responsibly bring this essential C15:0 fat into your life to improve your long-term health and wellness.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Toward the Night
The action-packed third novel in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV show. Captain Christopher Pike and the USS Enterprise crew venture to the edge of the Klingon Empire, where they uncover mysterious subspace echoes near a volatile “flare star” dangerously located in a disputed area of the star system. As the Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site. While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.

Eagle Days
TELEGRAPH HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025By the summer of 1940, Great Britain watched as France succumbed to the might of Adolf Hitler’s forces. Her forces driven off the continent, many rescued from capture at Dunkirk, only the Royal Air Force, supported by the country’s newly established radar system, now stood in the way of the country being invaded. Herman Goering had promised his Fuhrer his air force would sweep the British skies of all opposition to allow Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of southern England, to commence. The intense aerial combat over the coming months across the English Channel and the countryside of southeast England would not reflect the optimism of Nazi propaganda. Researching and blending a diverse range of primary sources together (Luftwaffe air crews’ personal letters and diaries), with official combat reports, and contemporary German newspapers, Victoria Taylor weaves a rich, multifaceted tapestry of the military, political, social and cultural influences that shaped the German air force’s mentality and morale during the Battle of Britain. Eagle Days transforms the Luftwaffe’s historical role during the RAF’s ‘Finest Hour’ from a cartoonish antagonist to a multidimensional, flawed-yet-formidable opponent. The narrative contains not just the voices of the air crews who conducted the fighting, but uniquely never-before-translated primary source material of other contemporary eyewitnesses, (Luftwaffe’s paratroopers, anti-aircraft gunners and air signalmen). Eagle Days will offer all fans of this period a refreshing, comprehensive and exciting new account of the Luftwaffe’s real experiences during the Battle of Britain.

Instead, it provides a clear, empirical investigation into your direct experience, inviting you to look for yourself and see what is already undeniably true. Freedom is not something to achieve. It is what remains when you stop believing that you are the one who isn’t free.
