DOWNLOAD EBOOKMargaret Roach worked at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for 15 years, serving as Editorial Director for the last 6. She first made her name in gardening, writing a classic gardening book among other things. She now has a hugely popular gardening blog, "A Way to Garden." But despite the financial and professional rewards of her job, Margaret felt unfulfilled. So she moved to her weekend house upstate in an effort to lead a more authentic life by connecting with her garden and with nature. The memoir she wrote about this journey is funny, quirky, humble--and uplifting--an Eat, Pray, Love without the travel-and allows readers to live out the fantasy of quitting the rat race and getting away from it all.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHistorians have traditionally drawn distinctions between Ulysses S. Grant's military and political careers. In Let Us Have Peace, Brooks Simpson questions such distinctions and offers a new understanding of this often enigmatic leader. He argues that during the 1860s Grant was both soldier and politician, for military and civil policy were inevitably intertwined during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. According to Simpson, Grant instinctively understood that war was 'politics by other means.' Moreover, he realized that civil wars presented special challenges: reconciliation, not conquest, was the Union's ultimate goal. And in peace, Grant sought to secure what had been won in war, stepping in to assume a more active role in policymaking when the intransigence of white Southerners and the obstructionist behavior of President Andrew Johnson threatened to spoil the fruits of Northern victory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt becomes increasingly important that peace and harmony are finally manifested in Israel-Palestine; and that the Gaza blockade is finally lifted. So it is very important that the future governance of the Bennett-Lapid government is fair and just; and that policies implemented are free from systemic injustices, so that equal rights and legal equality can be manifested in the land. Jerusalem's status is one of the thorniest issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the international community insisting it must be negotiated by the two sides. Israel views the whole city as its capital while the Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of their own state - both sides being locked in stalemate, and a two-state solution having no prospect of success. So the sooner everybody realizes that a bi-national state is the better option, the better for everybody - with citizenship and equal rights in the combined entity for all inhabitants of all territories, without regard to ethnicity or religion. This would combine Israel and the Palestinian territories into a single state with one government, so that business and commerce between all ethnic groups can take place freely and unhindered; the current barriers and Israeli checkpoints being a huge obstacle to this. Hence in the spirit of freedom of movement - for both Palestinian and Israeli people - a one-state solution would be the better option. This would also be in line with former President Reuven Rivlin's policy of a one-state solution, who argues for a unified country that would embrace all people and give the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza full citizenship - so that peace, prosperity and democracy can be manifested in the land. Hence there is now a great window of opportunity for a bi-national state - which the Bennett-Lapid government ought to utilize - so that Israel can remain a respected member in the International Community, and that Israel if finally freed from systemic injustices. Also, it is imperative that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is protected in Israel-Palestine, and that Israeli officials stop committing apartheid - so that equal rights and legal equality can be manifested in Israel-Palestine. To manifest peace and democracy in the land, it is imperative that the Gaza blockade is finally lifted and that all parties concerned start working towards a just and fair Middle East peace plan - so that goodness and decency can prevail in the land.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTHE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER INDIE BOOK AWARDS NON-FICTION WINNER 'EXTRAORDINARY' The Times, 'BEAUTIFUL' Dolly Alderton, 'SHATTERING' Observer, 'INCREDIBLE' Benjamin Zephaniah, 'UNPUTDOWNABLE' Sunday Times, 'ASTOUNDING' Matt Haig 'POWERFUL' Elif Shafak At the age of seventeen, after a childhood in a foster family followed by six years in care homes, Norman Greenwood was given his birth certificate. He learned that his real name was not Norman. It was Lemn Sissay. He was British and Ethiopian. And he learned that his mother had been pleading for his safe return to her since his birth. This is Lemn's story: a story of neglect and determination, misfortune and hope, cruelty and triumph. Sissay reflects on his childhood, self-expression and Britishness, and in doing so explores the institutional care system, race, family and the meaning of home. Written with all the lyricism and power you would expect from one of the nation's best-loved poets, this moving, frank and timely memoir is the result of a life spent asking questions, and a celebration of the redemptive power of creativity.
