You know those people who always radiate cheerful optimism? Nauseating arent they? I want to become one of those. I want to find out how to live life completely, abundantly, joyfully, stupidly. This is my quest. Enlightenment. So proclaims Isabel Losada, Starbucks addict, exercise allergic & self-confessed sceptic as she sets out on the road to enlightenment.

Beginning with an Insight seminar where hundred people with name badges discuss their inner beauty, Isabel journeyed through a gruelling course of Rolfing nude Goddess workshops, a weekend of tantric sex (Yes! Yes! Yes!) & a reincarnation session, not to mention a spot of colonic irrigation. Irreverent yet open-minded, funny & always honest, " The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment" is also moving & ultimately illuminating. For anyone who has ever been tempted to dip a toe in the waters of self-discovery, Isabel Losada plunges you straight in.

A Battle of the First World War fought with the weapons of the Second. Military experts have long agreed that it would hardly be possible to find a better example of an impregnable natural defensive barrier on the road to Rome than that provided by Monte Cassino. When this was defended by resolute & battle-hardened troops it is easy to see how & why the Germans held out repeatedly against the massive Allied assault despite lavish air & artillery support. There were four separate & distinct battles of Cassino during late 1943 & early 1944, each one being immensely costly in Allied lives. In their turn, Americans, Indians, British, Gurkhas & Poles reached the summit of Monte Casino but found it impossible to retain a hold for long. The destruction wrought of the world-famous monastery on the summit of the mountain was but part of the damage that occurred during this period. The campaign to take Monte Cassino was one of the most dramatic of the Italian campaign. In his latest book for Ian Allan Publishing, noted military historian George Forty examines in detail the campaign to take Monte Cassino & clear the road to Rome. Drawing upon superb archive photographs & first-hand reminiscences, he sets the scene for the battle, examines the forces ranged against each other & describes each of the phases of the battle. Allied to the photographs & text are clear line drawings which allow the reader to comprehend fully the complex nature of the battle. Ian Allan Publishings series of detailed military histories have proved to be highly successful, garnering excellent reviews & an enthusiastic readership. This new addition to the series, featuring one of the seminal engagements of the war, is certain to build upon the success of the earlier volumes in the series & become a classic account of the battle. ...
