History is told by the victors and dare to write about the losing side. Writer Mark Kurt dared to bring to the reader the book We Were Not Heroes, a fictional novel about the diabolical scenario of the Second World War where men and women were trying to survive the boundless cruelties. Never has so much detail been written about the strategy of a pack of German U-boats trying to intercept an Allied convoy, the cold-bloodedness during naval combat and the pursuit of their enemies with destroyers in an attempt to annihilate them. Mark Kurt in his narrative of suspense and intriguing describes the incursion of a German command in British territory led by Max as main character and in the pursuit of the Germans an intelligent and selfless British investigator in the attempt to stop them, but to each one of the characters is reserved a different destiny despite the same scenario of the Second World War.

For women and girls who have been misunderstood, miss-diagnosed and quite frankly missed altogether in getting an autism diagnosis - this book is for you For decades females on the spectrum went undetected causing a lifetime of struggles, anxiety, depression, missed opportunities and incorrect diagnoses. Women and girls tended to fly under the radar due to the fact that they learned from an early age how to mask, mimic and role-play in order to fit in with societal norms and expectations. Due to a lot of research in this field, there are now a lot more evidence-based theories to support the view that autism is just as prevalent in females as it is in males, but it just wasn't picked up due to the gender difference in presentation. There still needs to be a lot more awareness and information available for women and girls who may feel different but don't know why. Maybe they have been searching for answers in the wrong places. My mission is to help raise awareness of this condition. And who can do this better than a female on the spectrum that walks, talks and lives each day in those shoes?

Puggles jumped on the back of his red motorbike and was off down the road heading for Queensland. One thousand kilometres of open road, the roaring wind in his ears and untold dangers. What adventure was in store? Who would have thought there might be gold, knights, and a ferocious dragon on the way?

One hell of a pardise... Ahh, the Aulverse, a world of wonder and anarchy, of entitlement and squalor; two sides to a very specific coin - the coin of this hellish paradise. Heads, and you might find yourself amongst the royals of the Kingdom of Bovidae; with their fancy horns and proper mannerisms, all groomed beyond perfection with silver spoons crammed so far inside their mouths it's a wonder they can even breathe. Tails though, and you might find yourself in the slums of the Aphid Tunnels, surrounded by equally as oppressed insectoids, all born into slavery with no hope for freedom. Some have been known to find graces in their ill fate, just as others have gambled away their luck, life in the Aulverse however, just as any life, is what you make of it, so why not turn your back on the chain gang and the ivory towers? Why not venture out into No Man's Land and peruse the diabolical Grisly Woods - really get that blood pumping? Who knows? You might even get to the bottom of the mysteries of this place, figure out why it is that one even finds themselves here, or how exactly, one might escape.

Abdus Salam, the subject of the book was a Pakistani scientist who shared the Physics Nobel Prize in 1979. Born in a remote, rural sunburnt country town in the outback of colonial Punjab, he made it to the forefront of theoretical physics. Abdus Salam compartmentalised his studies of physics, politics, religion, and family. Although his life in physics has been sufficiently covered, few have extensively studied his life and engagement in other fields. He served military regimes and was closely associated with the birth of nuclear expertise in Pakistan where his membership of the schismatic Ahmadiyah community marginalised him. His working life was divided between London's Imperial College and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. His fans perceive him as a victim of religious bigotry but, on his part, he did not seem to exercise scientific detachment in religion. Abdus Salam had two wives. His second wife, Louise Johnson (1940-2012), was a leading Molecular Biologist who served as Professor Emeritus in Oxford University; and it remains an awkward question as to how the two managed bigamy in Europe. Abdus Salam validated the Judaic-Muslim prohibition of pig meat and went as far as judging people who consumed pork as 'shameless' like the beast itself. A substantial amount of information provided in the book is supported by direct one-to-one interviews the author of the book conducted with Abdus Salam in 1984.

The summer started with 'Brown Sugar' and it ended with The Who at The Oval cricket ground, where they turned live rock music into a mesmerizing, pulsating miracle. And bound up in this heady atmosphere of 1971 was the pure, unadulterated love of football and all its absurdities, where sex, snakebite and the slide tackle scythed their way through everything. Shortfall College, a gaunt and brooding building, reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution cut a dark slice of shadow across the South London sky. It was here that an oddball, dotty selection of students set out in search of the Holy Grail - the South London Intercollegiate Cup - aided by spurious tactics and hindered by countless distractions. From Marlene, the landlord's wife, a goddess and vixen with a predilection for ice who couldn't keep her hands off Baz, to Norman, a ringer, with a rather unhealthy lopsided grin who completely snapped when trying to remove an opponent's ear with his teeth. Driven ever onwards by The Bear, their captain and inspiration, and Baz, his defensive henchman, they try to rein in the Ant, who possesses the aerodynamics of a spear and a footballing philosophy whereby the ball isn't absolutely necessary.

Imagine a world, not unlike the wizard's world of J. K. Rowling, but a mystical world, set in the angelic realms made of 10 kingdoms where even angels have their problems and go to school!

Crystalina needs help from her brave band of friends, Luke and John (two angels in­ training from the Angel Academy who have to earn their wings), one knight to be, Jeffrey, a girl called Angela and Gravitas, the King of Gravity and Pelippa, the Queen of Speed. But will that be enough to defeat Sharaha, the ruler of the Kingdom of Sound? She schemes to cause havoc in the Kingdom of Light and on Tempura, spreading disorder throughout the other kingdoms. She hopes that by doing so she can overthrow the Crystal Council in the process. Will they have to call upon higher help from that mightiest of mystical creatures - the King of the Unicorns?

Fleo is a very talented flea, with impeccable cooking skills. Differently to all other fleas within the flea kingdom, Fleo was a vegan, not by choice, but due to his intolerance to blood, and all other animal products, which he could never stomach. Whenever Fleo saw blood as a child, he would faint. Fleo is loved by all in the animal kingdom for his kindness. His kindness would not only make him loved and famous but would ultimately save his life. After his sudden disappearance, his absence brought out the respect of animals across the animal world, and made them realise the importance of appreciating what they have before it is lost.

When Charles Dickens rescued Oliver Twist from the clutches of Victorian depravity, he created villains and victims to serve his purpose. Out With Time gives some of those maligned characters a chance to redeem themselves and tell their own story. To Dickens, Mr. Bumble was the pompous beadle of the workhouse and Oliver's tormentor. Nancy, on the other hand, was Oliver's protector, but Dickens sacrifices her to the evil machinations of Bill Sikes. In Out With Time we learn that Nancy is not simply a hapless victim but a fighter for what is right. Mr. Bumble, it must be conceded, does only what he can. Together, Nancy and Bumble are an odd couple but also a formidable team. They strive to return a sense of civilization to the small Kentish town where Dickens started his tale. Even before Oliver makes his appearance, we see the couple wrestling with racism, sexism and even leading the way in a refugee crisis. In a curious resonance with the modern era, this story shows that the story of Mr. Bumble and Nancy is one that is not bound to a bygone age. Their destinies may be, in part, predetermined but Out With Time gives them the space to assert their own identities in defiance of any author.
