The epic story of the RAF’s legendary heavy bomber: the Avro Lancaster

The Lancaster Story takes readers on a remarkable journey through the history of an aviation icon. Between its introduction in 1942 and the end of the Second World War, the Avro Lancaster flew more than 150,000 sorties, dropped more than 600,000 tons of explosives and took the Allied fight to N**i Germany.

The true workhorse of the RAF’s bomber corps, the ‘Lanc’ featured on some of the most daring and celebrated missions of the war, including the heroic Dambusters raid and the Operation Hydra bombing. These and many other successes came at a significant cost, however: almost half of the 7,377 Lancasters deployed into service were lost in action.

Using archival documents, letters and first-hand accounts, The Lancaster Story delivers a dramatic and vividly rendered account of the most successful RAF bomber of the Second World War and the lives of the men and women who flew, designed, constructed and maintained it. Combining individual stories into a gripping, panoramic narrative, it paints a complete portrait of the battle over Europe, and the Lancaster’s unique and decisive role in it.

Mindful Healing is out now! 🧠

Dr Ahmed, medical doctor, mindfulness practitioner and founder of the life-coaching programme MindfulDoc, has written a revolutionary book which offers you a toolkit for life. The concept of mindfulness is very simple: it means paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgemental way. When we break free from our current way of thinking, we bring profound, positive changes to our lives.

Featuring 5 simple steps, Dr Ahmed uses her knowledge of the human body alongside the ancient practice of mindfulness and shows you how to make long-lasting changes to your health and wellbeing. Unlike other wellbeing coaches she combines modern and traditional approaches to holistic healing at the same time. As Dr Ahmed says, ‘medicine and meditation share from the same Latin root word', and she seamlessly blends both together to create a bespoke wellbeing programme.

Mindful Healing not only reveals the science behind mindfulness, but explains that simply by focusing on the mind, the rest will follow. From boosting confidence to building resilience, as well as creating better clarity and focus, reducing stress, and improving sleep, these are medically based meditations, to transform your life inside and out in just 5 weeks.

In this expert guide to the ancient city, Dr Philip Matyszak takes us on a tour of ancient Rome’s most fascinating and important sites and locations, revealing the secrets of the beating heart of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.

Rome itself was never grander or more magnificent than just before it fell, so be transported back in time to the Empire’s twilight years at the end of the 4th century ad, with almost a thousand years of Roman history to explore. Each chapter focuses on one of Rome’s districts, with maps throughout and explanations of how the same routes would look today.

Put yourself in the sandals of a Roman pedestrian and take a walk along the Via Appia, through the Capuan Gate and past all the wonders inside the walls of ancient Rome, from tombs and temples to sewers and shrines, the grand gardens and the humble street markets, from Nero’s Golden House to the slums where Julius Caesar grew up. Walk alongside the ghosts of Trajan, Nero and Cicero; stand where they stood and see what they saw.
