Summary

Daniel Defoe's 'The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe' is a timeless classic that follows the journey of a shipwrecked man on a deserted island. The book is written in a realistic and detailed style, reflecting the author's journalistic background. Defoe's depiction of Crusoe's survival skills and psychological development resonates with readers as they witness his transformation from a castaway to a self-sufficient explorer. The inclusion of illustrations in this complete edition enriches the reading experience and provides visual context to Crusoe's adventures. Originally published in 1719, the novel serves as a prime example of early English novels incorporating themes of adventure, self-reliance, and colonialism. Defoe's intricate narrative style and attention to detail make 'The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe' a captivating read that continues to be celebrated for its lasting impact on literature. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in exploring the themes of survival, isolation, and human resilience in a compelling narrative that stands the test of time.

    A British infantryman shares his harrowing story of life on the frontlines of WWII, from the North African Campaign to the invasion of Germany. In April 1939, when Bill Cheall joined the famous Yorkshire infantry regiment known as the Green Howards, he could not have imagined the drama, trauma, rewards and anguish that awaited him. But he recounts it all here, in this vivid memoir of service and courage under fire. As a Green Howard, Cheall was on the receiving end of the Nazis' Blitzkrieg and was evacuated exhausted. Then, courtesy of the Queen Mary, he shipped off to North Africa as part of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's Eight Army. After their victory in Tunisia, Cheall went on to the invasion of Sicily. The Green Howards then returned to England to be in the vanguard of the Normandy Landings on Gold Beach—where Cheall was wounded. Once he recovered, Cheall returned to the war zone and finished the war as a Regimental Policeman in occupied Germany. It is a remarkable story told with modesty, humor, and an eye for detail.

    Nothing has changed more in the last few decades than our concept and perception of reality. The effects have manifested in our news, entertainment, and Google searches; we're finding that a lot of things we thought were objective aren't automatically so. 
     
     
     
    Reality is not a concept we want to flush down the toilet with yesterday's food, though. However, we must begin to understand how it works in a world where profit is the driving force.

    Many books have been written about Second World War special forces operations in Europe and the Middle East. Much less has been said about such operations in South-East Asia  those launched against the Japanese in Sumatra and the Andaman Islands, and the Germans in Goa. These operations, and the exceptional men who took part in them, have been almost forgotten. David Miller, in this gripping account, sets the record straight. His book is based on extensive original research, including long-hidden family documents, revealing much information for the first time and his narrative is fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in special operations and the war against the Axis powers in South-East Asia. His history is the first general account of these operations - it is a landmark in the field.

    On 1 June 1943 Flight 777, a Douglas DC-3, en route from Lisbon to Britain, was shot down over the Bay of Biscay by German aircraft. Among the dead was the actor Leslie Howard, who had returned from Hollywood to England to help the British war effort. Also on board was Howards tax adviser, Alfred Chenhalls, who smoked cigars and looked remarkably like Winston Churchill. Did the Germans believe that Churchill was on board Flight 777? Other aircraft flying that route went unmolested by the Luftwaffe in spite of the German air presence over the Bay of Biscay. These flights were operated by Dutch crews flying aircraft of KLM, which were on charter to BOAC, and it was an experience Dutch crew that was lost that day. Ian Colvin carried out an exhaustive investigation into the incident, including interviewing former Luftwaffe personnel and this book, first published in 1957, is the result of his endeavors.

    The following topics are included in this 2-book combo: 
      
      
    Book 1: Most feelings of jealousy or envy are related to insecurities. They come deep from within a person’s fears, doubts, self-esteem, and other variables, sometimes grounded in childhood experiences. 
      
    Some people, however, are in denial. They go through life and never admit that they might envy what another person has, or they don’t want to admit to feelings of inadequacy or fear that their partner might lose interest in them. 
      
    In order to provide clarity when we can speak of real jealousy, this book lists seven signs or indications of jealousy. Finally, it ends with how you can turn things around positively if the green monster has gotten a hold of you. Feelings of jealousy can be used for beneficial purposes, and ultimately, this is what the book will focus on. 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: Most people have experienced simple manifestations of jealousy, but there are exceptional cases and disorders that must be mentioned. In this book, some of those brain functions that border on insanity will be discussed and explained. 
      
    Aside from that, several chapters of the book refer to jealousy problems in marriage and other relationships. Apparently, this problem is more common than many presume it to be, so it is worth mentioning. 
      
    Last but not least, some quotes, solutions, and tips are included in this helpful guide. They will lead you along to happier feelings and emotions, so you can rid yourself of something that could be blocking you from progressing at your own pace.
