The Wreck of the HMS Birkenhead: The History of the British Royal Navy's Most Notorious 19th Century Shipwreck

"In memory of Lieut.-Colonel Alexander Seton, Ensign Alex. C. Russell, and forty-eight N.C.O.s and men of the 74th Highlanders who were drowned at the wreck of H.M.S. 'Birkenhead' on the 26th February 1852, off Point Danger, Cape of Good Hope, after all the women and children on board had been safely landed in the ship's boats." - The inscription on a memorial in St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland

"To take your chance in the thick of a rush, with firing all about,
Is nothing so bad when you've cover to 'and, an' leave an' likin' to shout;
But to stand an' be still to the Birken'ead drill is a damn tough bullet to chew,
An' they done it, the Jollies -- 'Er Majesty's Jollies -- soldier an' sailor too!
Their work was done when it 'adn't begun; they was younger nor me an' you;
Their choice it was plain between drownin' in 'eaps an' bein' mopped by the screw,
So they stood an' was still to the Birken'ead drill, soldier an' sailor too" - Rudyard Kipling, "Soldier an' Sailor Too"

To Be a Lady: Story of Catherine Cookson by Cliff Goodwin

From the beginning of her life in a crowded terrace in Tyneside to her days as a best-selling writer able to offer thousands to charity as a Dame of the British Empire, Catherine Cookson's own story is as extraordinary as any of her novels.

It is hard to think of any writer, living or dead, who has produced - and continued to produce - such overwhelmingly popular fiction as Catherine Cookson.

Between June, 1950, and the end of 1993, ninety million copies of her novels, children's books and personal recollections had been sold worldwide.

Cookson novels have been adapted into award winning television films, musicals and plays

Goodwin explores the intriguing, and at times distressing, life of the celebrated writer, Catherine Cookson and the novels that were inspired by her early experiences in Tyneside.

Cliff Goodwin has also written biographies of Richard Harris, Oliver Reed, Sid James and Tony Hancock.

The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults. By Frances E. Jensen; Amy Ellis Nutt. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 75 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $27.99; digital list(?) price $13.99; Kindle price now $1.99. Harper, publisher. 385 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Brain-...d+Young+Adults.

Book Description
Drawing on her research knowledge and clinical experience, internationally respected neurologist—and mother of two boys—Frances E. Jensen, M.D., offers a revolutionary look at the science of the adolescent brain, providing remarkable insights that translate into practical advice for both parents and teenagers.

Driven by the assumption that brain growth was pretty much complete by the time a child began kindergarten, scientists believed for years that the adolescent brain was essentially an adult one—only with fewer miles on it. Over the last decade, however, the scientific community has learned that the teen years encompass vitally important stages of brain development.

Motivated by her personal experience of parenting two teenage boys, renowned neurologist Dr. Frances E. Jensen gathers what we’ve discovered about adolescent brain functioning, wiring, and capacity and, in this groundbreaking, accessible book, explains how these eye-opening findings not only dispel commonly held myths about the teenage years, but also yield practical suggestions that will help adults and teenagers negotiate the mysterious world of adolescent neurobiology.

Interweaving clear summary and analysis of research data with anecdotes drawn from her years as a parent, clinician, and public speaker, Dr. Jensen explores adolescent brain functioning and development in the contexts of learning and multitasking, stress and memory, sleep, addiction, and decision-making.

Rigorous yet accessible, warm yet direct, The Teenage Brain sheds new light on the brains—and behaviors—of adolescents and young adults, and analyzes this knowledge to share specific ways in which parents, educators, and even the legal system can help them navigate their way more smoothly into adulthood.

Osprey book on the battle of Quatre Bras £0.99/$1.48

Quote:

To commemorate the 2015 bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo, one of the defining campaigns in European History, Osprey is replacing its single volume Campaign title covering the whole of the battle with three highly detailed volumes. Based on new research drawn from unpublished firsthand accounts these volumes will provide a comprehensive resource for every aspect of the battle. The first of this trilogy details the battle of Quatre Bras where an initial 8,000 Allied troops faced 48,000 men of the French Armée du Nord under Marshal Ney. Realising his error, Wellington concentrated his troops at the strategic crossroads of Quatre Bras where they just managed to hold off Ney’s attacks. The battle ended in a tactical stalemate but, unable to link up with Blücher’s Prussians, Wellington retreated back along the road to Brussels to new positions at Waterloo. Featuring extensive photographs, full colour artworks, maps and bird’s eye views, this first instalment is not to be missed.

The other two books in the series are around the £7/$10 mark.

I log out of Amazon and then go to the page. On most modern browsers, going to the link using a private browsing/incognito window will have the same effect.

OIC.

I stay logged in to Amazon continually, so I didn't think about the fact that I am logged in.

I'll see what happens when I go incognito. I feel so sneaky. hahah

Okay, I tried going incognito and it didn't help. I'm using the Google Chrome browser; it may be different on other browsers. I'm going to bed--it's 5 a.m. here.

Seems like I remember reading before that with Google Chrome incognito websites could still "see" what pages that you had gone to before and after the incognito sessions. Something like that. Not very incognito then, huh?
