Book Description
When Australian troops stormed ashore in the pre-dawn darkness of April 25th 1915, it was the culmination of one of the most complex and daunting operations in the history of warfare – the seaborne assault of a heavily fortified shore, defended by a well-prepared and forewarned enemy.The risks were enormous, and the death toll on the beach at Anzac Cove could have been murderous – as it was with the British landings further south. Yet the Anzacs had been allowed to organise their own assault, and their ingenuity, intelligence gathering and willingness to do the unorthodox allowed them to seize a foothold and fulfil the task they had been set by their commanders. All too often the scale of that task and the successful way the Anzacs approached it have been overshadowed by events later in the campaign.Hugh Dolan, an intelligence officer in the Australian Defence Force, has minutely re-examined the assault itself, giving us a day-by-day account of the build up to the landing that shows a very different side to the Gallipoli story. Using a host of previously unpublished material and research, he has produced a riveting work of narrative history that sheds a fresh light on the original Anzacs.

Book Description
This book concerns comics and what was, in 2003, a developing tradition of Disney-style comic-strips. It also deals with the Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher. Several of his images can be seen in animated form. It also talks of theatre and cinema too. For example, Luca Viganò's curious theatrical spectacle in Genoa about Evariste Galois. It talks about war and peace, ageless themes. All this and a tribute to the mathematician Ennio De Giorgi.

Book Description
Love is not something you protect. It's something you risk. Daniel Connor has a problem. A big one. Even though his company is a billion-dollar success in the hospitality industry, he’s just opened a few new properties in the United States and is failing at every turn. He’s never met a problem he couldn’t solve, but this particular problem is beyond him. He needs an expert. A fixer. Enter Eleanor Sawyer, fixer extraordinaire. Though she generally only works in the US, the salary Daniel offers her—and the good looks she sees across their first meeting—are impossible for her to turn down, and she makes the journey to the UK to work with his company on their problems. But the UK isn’t as easy to navigate as she expected, and when she ends up living on Daniel’s property outside the city—and needing to call him every time something goes wrong—she starts to think there might be more to life in England than just fixing a company’s issues. This contract was never meant to be anything but professional. The problem is, the longer Daniel and Eleanor work together, the more personal it becomes. And neither one of them is all that interested in changing it.
