  1. 📮 Safe Harbor by Padma Venkatraman (.ePUB) An uplifting novel in about an immigrant girl adjusting to life in the US through her love of nature, music, and poetry, by the award-winning author of The Bridge Home. When Geetha and her mom move from India to Rhode Island after her parents’ divorce, they leave everything Geetha loves behind—her family, her friends, her dog, and all that’s familiar. As if that’s not hard enough, Geetha is bullied at her new school for her clothes, her food, and her English (who knew so many English words could be spelled or pronounced differently in the US—or just be altogether different!). She finds some solace in playing her flute and writing poetry, and even more when she meets Miguel, a kid with whom she has a lot in common, and the two of them help rescue an injured harp seal stranded on the beach. But Geetha can feel her anger building over lots of things—careless people who pollute the sea and hurt animals, and her mom for making her move. She’s never been so sad and angry. She can see a lot of her fears mirrored in the injured seal when she visits it at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Center, and this broadens her understanding of survival skills. And when she and Miguel start a beach-clean-up venture, she’s surprised to find how many kind kids are out there. Geetha is torn as the time comes to let the seal go, knowing she’ll miss him, but wanting the best for him. She’s learning to live with mixed feelings and accept that while there will always be rough waters, there are plenty of safe harbors too. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Padma Venkatraman Size 927KB Category Fiction > Children/YA File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/849LoDlQqDAu https://devuploads.com/cen8s22n4b92

  3. 📮 The Song of Orphan's Garden by Nicole M. Hewitt (.ePUB) Combining the gentleness of Miyazaki, the wintry wonderland of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and the whimsicality of Newbery winner The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Nicole M. Hewitt's debut middle-grade novel, The Song of Orphan's Garden, is an enchanting fantasy tale with all the makings of a new classic. In an arctic world that's getting colder every day, Lyriana's only hope of survival is to get her little brother Zave and herself to the fabled Orphan's Garden. It’s rumored to be the one place in the world not controlled by deadly Winter Spirits or ruled by the tyrant Giant king. In Orphan’s Garden, healing trees will melt away Winter’s pains, and Lyriana and Zave can live safely in the warmth of Spring. If the garden exists, they must find it. They won’t live much longer without it. Brob, a Giant boy, also needs sanctuary. When the Giant king banishes his family to the Winter Blight, it’s a death sentence. Orphan’s Garden is his family’s only hope, and as far as Brob’s concerned, it belongs to him. After all, he was the one who accidentally used an ancient magic to grow the garden years ago. He has no intention of sharing his haven with pesky humans, who will just use up its magic and ruin it. When it becomes clear that Orphan’s Garden is in danger of being destroyed, Lyriana and Brob are the only ones who can save it—but only if they can put the ages-old battle between Humans and Giants aside and find a way to work together. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Nicole M.

  6. 📮 A Short History of the Mongols by George Lane (.ePUB) The Mongol Empire was the mightiest land empire the world has ever seen. At its height, it was twice the size of its Roman equivalent. For a remarkable century and a half, it commanded a population of 100 million people, while the rule of Chinggis (Genghis) Khan marched undefeated from the Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea. In this highly readable latest addition to I.B.Tauris's popular Short History series, George Lane argues that the Mongols were not only subjugators who swept all before them, but one of the great organizing forces of world history. His book traces the rise of the Great Khan in 1206 to the dissolution of the empire in 1368 by the Ming Dynasty. Lane discusses the unification of the Turko-Mongol tribes under Chinggis' leadership; the establishment of a vigorous imperium whose Pax Mongolica held mastery over the Central Asian steppes; imaginative policies of religious pluralism; and the rich legacy of the Toluid Empire of Yuan China and Ilkhanate Iran. Offering a bold and sympathetic understanding of Mongol history, Lane shows that commercial expansion, cultural assimilation, and dynamic political growth were as crucial to Mongol success as the desire for conquest. ♻️ Book's Info: Author George Lane Size 12MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/UkkngwDSibi8 https://devuploads.com/d15mdqm8kbs5
  7. 📮 The Battle of Actium 31 BC by Lee Fratantuono (.ePUB) A good argument could be made that the Battle of Actium was the most significant military engagement in Roman history. On a bright September day, the naval forces of Octavian clashed with those of Antony and Cleopatra off the coast of western Greece. The victory Octavian enjoyed that day set the state for forty-four years of what would come to be known as the Augustan Peace, and was in no small way the dawn of the Roman Empire. Yet, despite its significance, what exactly happened at Actium has been a mystery, despite significant labors and effort on the part of many classicists and military historians both amateur and professional. Professor Lee Fratantuono re-examines the ancient evidence and presents a compelling and solidly documented account of what took place in the waters off the promontory of Leucas in late August and early September of 31 B.C. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Lee Fratantuono Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/8Q8Q99K7iCCB https://devuploads.com/o533rcsf91mt

  9. 📮 "Stir It Up" by Noah Wood (.ePUB) Stir-fry is a popular cooking technique from the east. It is quick, convenient, and perfect for weeknight meals. Stir-frying involves stirring the ingredients over high heat in a wok or hot pan, which allows the food to become crispy without becoming scorched. You can prepare all types of foods – meat, poultry, seafood, and a variety of vegetables. It is also healthy cooking because the crisp-tender vegetables will retain more nutrients than boiling them. Stir-frying also needs just a small amount of oil, ensuring that the fat content will be low. This cooking method, however, is not new. Bronze inscriptions on pots have been found from China’s Eastern Zhou period (771-256 BC). Many scholars believe that the pan or wok was used during the Han dynasty (206 B.C-220 A.D.) but for drying grain and not cooking. It was during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) that it was first used for cooking. Restaurants in modern-day China can turn out a lot of dishes very quickly, thanks to the speedy cooking method of stir-frying. You can also use the same technique in your home kitchen to replicate the success of the Chinese takeout. It is perfect for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time and want to prepare something quickly. You can prepare hundreds of stir-fried foods at home. So, you will never run out of options. In this book, I will introduce you to some healthy and quick stir-fried food recipes that will surely please you, your friends, and your family. I will show you how you make prepare them easily at home. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Noah Wood Size 4MB Category Non-Fiction > Food & Drink File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/qD8cBxEK2CTu https://devuploads.com/25qjwglzh542
  10. 📮 Lawless Republic by Josiah Osgood (.ePUB) A historian of Rome “at the height of his powers” (Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire) narrates the erosion of law and order in the last years of the Roman Republic through the rise and fall of its most famous lawyer, Cicero In its final decades, the Roman Republic was engulfed by a crime wave. An epidemic of extortions, murders, and acts of insurrection tested the court system’s capacity to maintain order. As case after case filled the docket, an ambitious young lawyer named Cicero seized every opportunity to litigate, forging a reputation as a master debater with a bright future in politics. In Lawless Republic, historian Josiah Osgood recounts the legendary orator’s ascent and fall, and his pivotal role in the republic’s lurch toward autocracy. Cicero’s first appearance in the courts came shortly after the end of a brutal civil war. After leveraging his fame as a lawyer to become a consul, he ruthlessly crushed a coup by suppressing the liberties of Roman citizens. The premiere legal mind of Rome came to argue that the pursuit of a higher justice could sometimes justify sweeping the law aside, laying the groundwork for Roman history’s most famous act of political violence—the assassination of Julius Caesar. Lawless Republic vividly resurrects the spectacle of the courts in the time of Cicero and Caesar, showing how politics trumped the rule of law and sealed the fate of Rome. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Josiah Osgood Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/TmItaLA2FmU7 https://devuploads.com/c0dd0wlwhbrx
  11. 📮 Why We Believe by Alister McGrath (.ePUB) Belief: surely it's a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with today's rational, science-led culture? 'A timely, often bracing and always highly stimulating book.' Tom Holland, author of Dominion and co-host of The Rest is History In today's science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era – something absurd at best, harmful at worst. The prevailing narratives paint belief as primitive, weird, even dangerous. But as life grows ever more confusing and our societies more atomised, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital. Alister McGrath offers a fresh perspective on belief, presenting it not as a weakness of rational thought but as an essential tool for navigating uncertainty. Elegant and thought-provoking, Why We Believe reveals how belief provides meaning in the face of existential despair, how it fosters community and offers solace. As society moves beyond the dismissive rhetoric surrounding people of faith, here is a powerful manifesto for the re-enchantment of the Western mind. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Alister Mcgrath Size 470KB Category Non-Fiction > Faith, Beliefs & Philosophy File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Sg9DpT0O50yo https://devuploads.com/9okp9clfoqbz

  13. 📮 Learning to Cry: Why Our Tears Matter by Benjamin Perry (.ePUB) What happens when we cry—and when we don't? One of our most private acts, weeping can forge connection. Tears may obscure our vision, but they can also bring great clarity. And in both literature and life, weeping often opens a door to transformation or even resurrection. But many of us have been taught to suppress our emotions and hide our tears. When writer Benjamin Perry realized he hadn't cried in more than ten years, he undertook an experiment: to cry every day. But he didn't anticipate how tears would bring him into deeper relationship with a world that's breaking. Cry, Baby explores humans' rich legacy of weeping—and why some of us stopped. With the keen gaze of a journalist and the vulnerability of a good friend, Perry explores the great paradoxes of our tears. Why do we cry? In societies marked by racism, sexism, and homophobia, who is allowed to cry—and who isn't? And if weeping tells us something fundamental about who we are, what do our tears say? Exploring the vast history, literature, physiology, psychology, and spirituality of crying, we can recognize our deepest hopes and longings, how we connect to others, and the social forces bent on keeping us from mourning. When faced with the private and sometimes unspeakable sorrows of daily life, not to mention existential threats like climate change and systemic racism, we cry for the world in which we long to live. As we reclaim our crying as a central part of being human, we not only care for ourselves and relearn how to express our vulnerable emotions; we also prophetically reimagine the future. Ultimately, weeping can bring us closer to each other and to the world we desire and deserve. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Benjamin Perry Size 670KB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/GHK327z3N7kF https://devuploads.com/26fsfdbuc7zn

  16. 📮 F. Scott Fitzgerald On Writing by Larry W. Phillips (.ePUB) A collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s remarks on his craft, taken from his works and letters to friends and colleagues—an essential trove of advice for aspiring writers. As F. Scott Fitzgerald famously decreed, “An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever after.” Fitzgerald's own work has gone on to be reviewed and discussed for over one hundred years. His masterpiece The Great Gatsby brims with the passion and opulence that characterized the Jazz Age—a term Fitzgerald himself coined. These themes also characterized his life: Fitzgerald enlisted in the US army during World War I, leading him to meet his future wife, Zelda, while stationed in Alabama. Later, along with Ernest Hemingway and other American artist expats, he became part of the “Lost Generation” in Europe. Fitzgerald wrote books “to satisfy [his] own craving for a certain type of novel,” leading to modern American classics including Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned. In this collection of excerpts from his books, articles, and personal letters to friends and peers, Fitzgerald illustrates the life of the writer in a timeless way. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Larry W.

  18. 📮 Stalingrad and Leningrad by Charles River Editors (.ePUB) World War II was fought on a scale unlike anything before or since in human history, and the unfathomable casualty counts are attributable in large measure to the carnage inflicted between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during Hitler’s invasion of Russia and Stalin’s desperate defense. The invasion came in 1941 following a nonaggression pact signed between the two in 1939, which allowed Hitler to focus his attention on the west without having to worry about an attack from the eastern front. While Germany was focusing on the west, the Soviet Union sent large contingents of troops to the border region between the two countries, and Stalin’s plan to take territory in Poland and the Baltic States angered Hitler. By 1940, Hitler viewed Stalin as a major threat and had made the decision to invade Russia: “In the course of this contest, Russia must be disposed of...Spring 1941. The quicker we smash Russia the better.” (Hoyt, p. 17) Once the Siege of Leningrad began in the fall of 1941, the Soviets knew they were in a desperate struggle to the death. In fact, the Russians wouldn’t have even been given a chance to surrender if they had wanted to, because the orders to the German forces instructed them to completely raze the city: "After the defeat of Soviet Russia there can be no interest in the continued existence of this large urban center…Following the city's encirclement, requests for surrender negotiations shall be denied, since the problem of relocating and feeding the population cannot and should not be solved by us. In this war for our very existence, we can have no interest in maintaining even a part of this very large urban population." ♻️ Book's Info: Author Charles River Editors Size 3MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/H9ex70FiHS2v https://devuploads.com/duo887p5s20p

  21. 📮 The First Royal Media War by Adrian Phillips (.ePUB) The abdication crisis of 1936 demolished the wall of silent deference that had protected the British royal family from press comment and intrusion since the days of Queen Victoria. King Edward VIII was a child of the burgeoning age of media and the first celebrity monarch, but the immense personal popularity created by his charm and good looks was not enough to save him when he came into conflict with a government that embodied the conservative ethos of the time. Nor did the support of powerful media barons. In the United States William Randolph Hearst, who inspired Citizen Kane, dreamed of giving Britain an American Queen and manoeuvred with Wallis Simpson to place her on the throne. In Britain the Anglo- Canadian newspaper magnate Lord Beaverbrook hoped to use the confrontation between the King and the government to force the prime minister, his bitter enemy Stanley Baldwin, out of power. Edward was blocked from broadcasting his case directly to the public, which was the source of deep resentment to him. The government treated the couple’s media initiatives as declarations of war and was prepared to respond savagely. The British press remained tactfully silent almost until the end of the crisis, but behind the scenes, a cold war was being fought. For the rest of his life, Edward fought to air his grievances against the ill-treatment to which he thought that he had been subjected. He believed that he had been forced to abdicate by a coalition of reactionaries grouped behind the Archbishop of Canterbury. Edward resented bitterly the ostracism to which he and Wallis were subjected by his brother and sister-in-law, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, especially the refusal to grant his wife royal status. With sometimes farcical results, Edward tried to find authors who put over his side of the story. Beaverbrook supported Edward but tried to bend Edward’s quest to fit his own agenda. The establishment did its utmost to restrain Edward and maintain a discreet silence over the crisis, but gradually members of the royal court abandoned reticence and fought back. The abdication challenged the British monarchy as an institution. A large part of the legacy is today’s no-holds-barred media environment where the royal family's issues are fought in a ruthless glare of worldwide attention. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Adrian Phillips Size 11MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/2G9ssm5Urbkn https://devuploads.com/bv1bohhk9mkq
  22. 📮 Marilyn Monroe: Volume 2 1956 to 1962 by Gary Vitacco-Robles (.ePUB) Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) survived a childhood marked by abuse, neglect, and chaos to become a psychological, cultural, and spiritual phenomenon of the Twentieth Century.

  25. 📮 The Gilded Girl by Alyssa Colman (.ePUB) Any child can spark magic, but only the elite are allowed to kindle it. Those denied access to the secrets of the kindling ritual will see their magic snuffed out before their thirteenth birthday. In 1906 New York City, Miss Posterity’s Academy for Practical Magic is the best kindling school―and wealthy twelve-year-old Emma Harris is accustomed to the best. But when her father dies, leaving her penniless, Emma is reduced to working off her debts to Miss Posterity alongside Izzy, a headstrong servant girl who refuses to let her magic be snuffed out, even if society dictates she must. Emma and Izzy reluctantly form a pact: If Izzy teaches Emma how to survive as a servant, Emma will reveal to Izzy what she knows about magic. Along the way, they encounter shy libraries, quizzes that literally pop, and talking cats (that is, house dragons). But when another student’s kindling goes horribly wrong, Emma, Izzy, and their unexpected new friends embark on a journey to keep magic in the right hands . . . or else there’s a risk it will be snuffed out forever. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Alyssa Colman Size 3.9MB Category Fiction > Children/YA File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/RvcLxObRCPvI https://devuploads.com/z8b5pukxbquq
