For a century, magazines were the authors of culture and taste, of intelligence and policy — until they were overthrown by the voices of the public themselves online. Here is a tribute to all that magazines were, from their origins in London and on Ben Franklin’s press; through their boom — enabled by new technologies — as creators of a new media aesthetic and a new mass culture; into their opulent days in advertising-supported conglomerates; and finally to their fall at the hands of the internet.

By founding Penguin books and popularizing the paperback, Allen Lane not only changed publishing in Britain, he was also at the forefront of a social and cultural revolution that saw the millions of people given access to what had previously been the preserve of a wealthy few. In Penguin Special, Jeremy Lewis brings this extraordinary era brilliantly to life, recounting how Allen Lane came to launch his Penguins for the price of a packet of cigarettes.

War Is Not Just for Heroes rescues the incredible true stories of United States Marine Corps. Written by one marine, Claude R.

Canup Keaton-Lima, War Is Not Just for Heroes combines documentary and biography to provide the human dimensions of those in combat and those who reported out.

Vi hade precis bestämt oss för att flytta från Johannesburg till Kapstaden, bli kvar i Sydafrika och släppa taget om Sverige.

Tio dagar senare satt hela familjen förtvivlad på Karolinska sjukhusets barncanceravdelning i Stockholm. Vi hade evakuerats till Sverige av SOS International.

The Durrells are probably the most celebrated literary family of the 20th century. Gerald turned them into celebrities with his tripartite memoir, beginning with My Family and Other Animals (1956) which told of his experiences with his widowed mother Louisa and three siblings during their time in 1930s Corfu. We know of the Durrells from their own writings and from the image of them created by TV, film and biographical accounts of specific figures. What we do not know is the truth.

By daytime, Ukraine is a sophisticated European country going about its business, and Kyiv seems like an enchanting city. But by night, the sirens roar, and the war begins. Ukraine is using the amount of ammunition that all of Europe produces in one day, and yet on the surface, much of the country appears to be going about its business as usual. This is a very different audiobook as this is a very different war – one fought by a huge army of civilians, from old punk rockers to university professors and Coca Cola brand managers who are working behind the scenes to outwit the Russian army.

राजा राममोहन राय भारतीय पुनर्जागरण के अग्रदूत और आधुनिक भारत में सामाजिक समरसता के जनक थे। वे ब्राह्म समाज के संस्थापक, भारतीय भाषाई प्रेस के प्रवर्तक, जन-जागरण और सामाजिक सुधार आंदोलन के प्रणेता तथा बंगाल में नवजागरण युग के पितामह थे। उन्होंने भारत में स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन और पत्रकारिता के कुशल संयोग से दोनों क्षेत्रों को गति प्रदान की। हिंदी के प्रति उनका अगाध समर्पण था। वे रूढ़िवाद और कुरीतियों के विरोधी थे; लेकिन संस्कार, परंपरा और राष्‍ट्र-गौरव उनकी थाती थे।
