In 1968, at the age of 22, Karl Marlantes abandoned his Oxford University scholarship to sign up for active service with the US Marine Corps in Vietnam. Pitched into a war that had no defined military objective other than kill ratios & body counts, what he experienced over the next thirteen months in the jungles of South East Asia shook him to the core. But what happened when he came home covered with medals was almost worse. It took Karl four decades to come to terms with what had really happened, during the course of which he painstakingly constructed a fictionalized version of his war, MATTERHORN, which has subsequently been hailed as the definitive Vietnam novel. WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GO TO WAR takes us back to Vietnam, but this time there is no fictional veil. Here are the hard-won truths that underpin MATTERHORN: the author's real-life experiences behind the book's indelible scenes. But it is much more than this. It is part exorcism of Karl's own experiences of combat, part confession, part philosophical primer for the young man about to enter combat. It It is also a devastatingly frank answer to the questions ' What is it like to be a soldier?' What is it like to face death?' & ' What is it like to kill someone?' ...

In 1872, a woman known only as ' An Ernest Englishwoman' published an open letter entitled ' Are women animals?', in which she protested the fact that women were not treated as fully human. In reality, their status was worse than that of animals: regulations prohibiting cruelty against dogs, horses & cattle were significantly more punitive than laws against cruelty to women. What does it mean to be 'human' rather than 'animal'? If the Ernest Englishwoman had turned her gaze to the previous century, her critique could equally have applied to slaves. In her time & beyond, the debate around human status involved questions of language, facial physiology, & vegetarianism. If she had been capable of looking 100 years into the future, she might have wondered about chimeras, created by transplanting animal fluids & organs into human bodies, or the ethics of stem cell research. In this meticulously researched, wide-ranging & illuminating book, Joanna Bourke explores the legacy of more than two centuries, & looks forward to what the future might hold for humans & animals. ...

Books Fantasy Fiction Books Once, I'd chosen my mate instead of freedom. Now, I'll play the games of the Fae. Even if I have to become the villain to do it... For weeks, we retraced our steps back to Mistfell & the lingering shadow of the Veil at the boundary between realms. Travelling through the kingdom, I denied the evidence in front of me, unable to fathom that I wasn't the lost princess of Faerie. Instead, it is Fallon who must fear the consequences of her heritage, which leaves me with a single, unanswered question. Then, I awoke, caged high above the throne of the Queen of Air & Darkness. Mab is the Queen who keeps Alfheimr held squirming within her clawed grasp. She uses the children of Faerie to sustain the magic granted to her by the cursed gem atop her crown, which has carved her from the girl she once was into a dark vessel, obsessed with power. She thrives on cruelty & wields our love as an instrument for pain. I'm a curiosity, my presence an enigma that was never foreseen. I may not be Mab's daughter, but she still keeps me close as she forges me into a weapon against humans & Fae. Mab may not own me yet, but she controls the life of the man I love.
