Books To Look Out For in February The Home Front 1939 - 1945 In 100 Objects by Austin J. Ruddy
Nurses Association Of Jamaica (UK): 40 Years Of Service by J
A lifesaving gas mask. A ration book, essential for the supply of food. A twisted remnant of a German V2 rocket that went to space and back before exploding over London, the result of equally twisted military science. Colourful flag bunting that saw the VE celebrations. All disparate objects that together tell the moving and important story of Britain’s Home Front during the Second World War. The phrase ‘If only this could talk-’ is often heard: in this book the objects almost can. All the objects have a general contextual background history and any specific known associated story is also included, all in a clear form, with cross-references to related subjects.
Nurses Association of Jamaica (UK), NAJ (UK), takes you on a journey to discover and celebrate the contribution many Jamaican nurses have made to shape the National Health Service. It is written by select members of the NAJ management committee, who share their treasured history, document their present and celebrate their future.

Growing his own food and drinking spring water, Bob discovered a new way to live - a simpler way. Being a relative of Sir Edmund Hillary, Bob has always been connected with nature and had a sense of adventure, but the life changing experience of living in the Welsh mountains opened Bob's eyes to a way in which we can enrich our own lives, improve our mental health, and look after the Earth around us. Simplify explores Bob's experience of living in the Welsh mountains and provides easy, practical advice that we can all incorporate into our daily lives to start living a simpler life today.
