This is a compelling & human portrait of modern war. Colonel Stuart Tootal is the first senior commander to provide an account of the fighting in Afghanistan. A gritty portrayal of unforgiving conflict, Danger Close captures the essence of combat, the risks involved & the aftermath. 3 PARA was the first unit into Helmand in 2006. Sent on a peace mission, it became engaged in a level of combat that has not been experienced by the British Army since the Korean War. Undermanned & suffering from equipment shortages, 3 PARA fought doggedly to win the break in battle. Numerous gallantry decorations were awarded, but they were not without cost. On returning from Afghanistan, Tootal fought to get proper treatment for his wounded & feeling frustrated with the Government's treatment of its soldiers, he resigned from the Army. This is a dramatic, & often moving, insight into the leadership of soldiers & the sharp end of war. The size of this book is 23.4cm in height & 15.1cm wide with 306 pages ...

The conventional history of art is one of great men making great paintings, & displaying their works to a predominantly male audience in male-run institutions. Women, however, have had a role, often working behind the scenes, out of sight or in resistance to prevailing attitudes & practices. & it is in these exceptions to the rules of the masculine world of art-making that women artists have been perceived as groundbreaking, defiant & even subversive.

Women Artists at Work explores the most intriguing & provocative aspects of art by women who shook up the art world. Through a lively introduction & six thematic chapters dealing with such subjects as the ways in which women have challenged the boundaries of expression & how they have viewed the human body, Debra N. Mancoff presents an absorbing tale of those who have struggled & triumphed in their efforts to transform the visual arts. ...
