Peter Le Vasseur's art depicts the beauty of the world and the pressure that humankind exerts upon it. Not content with merely creating highly researched nature art, his work carries an ecological message often ahead of its time. Unusually for an artist he builds in the detail of contemporary life during the decades through which he has lived, painting in a meticulous and distinct style. He escaped the Channel Island of Guernsey with his parents just before the German Occupation in 1940 and grew up in London as a refugee. Winning a scholarship to art college he went on to create pop art for one-man shows in major London galleries and sold to the Beatles, film stars and aristocracy. In A Brush With Life, Jason Monaghan presents the definitive work on Le Vasseur's life and work, charting his progression from pop art and fantasy to political pieces, book illustration and environmental paintings. Never depressing, the messages of both artist and author are thoughtful, and sometimes ironically amusing. Throughout, Le Vasseur's central philosophy is evident: where nature survives, hope remains.

Navy SEAL and author of Overcome Jason Redman’s highly-charged account of his combat missions in Iraq and his miraculous recovery from wounds that might have killed him—if it were not for his grit and the devotion of his wife and family Decorated Navy SEAL Lieutenant Jason Redman served his country in Columbia, Peru, Afghanistan and Iraq, where he commanded mobility and assault forces. In western Iraq alone, he conducted over forty capture-kill missions with his men, successfully locating more than 120 Al Qaida insurgents. In September 2007, while leading a mission against a key senior Al Qaida commander, his team was ambushed and he was critically wounded by machine-gun fire at point blank range. During the intense recovery that followed—a years-long process that included 37 surgeries—Redman gained national media attention when he posted a sign on his door at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, warning all who entered not to “feel sorry for my wounds.” Redman’s sign became both a statement and a symbol for wounded warriors everywhere. The Trident is an unforgettable story of one man’s determination to overcome adversity. Redman recounts his story, from his grueling SEAL training to how he found the balance between arrogance and humility all while fighting America’s enemies on far flung battlefields. He speaks candidly of the grit that helped him carry on despite grievous wounds, and of the extraordinary love and devotion of his wife, Erica, and family, without whom he would not have survived. Vivid and powerful, emotionally resonant and illuminating, filled with sixteen pages of photos, The Trident traces the evolution of a modern warrior, husband, and father—a man who has come to embody the never-say-die spirit that defines America’s elite fighting force.

Privately, he knew that his skill was polished perfection but an emotional wasteland.He needed more. He would have it. Years before, he had seen a prodigy on the ice, a phenom who had lit up the skating world, a meteor that blazed across the ice and then was gone as quickly as she had come. Diana Diamond had escaped the world of competitive skating. The unrelenting demands of her coaches had destroyed the joy of skating for her. Instead, she used her skill and talent to create world-class programs for other skaters. As a choreographer she made the rules, choose those with whom she worked. The joy of skating was hers again and she fiercely guarded that need and that emotion. Pippa knew of Jason’s need to achieve more for himself than just technique and skill without emotion. She knew too how stubborn he could be when he got an idea in his head. He was building a skating complex, teaching, and training facility for young skaters. He wanted Diana Diamond to handle the choreography for the facility. Pippa had followed Diana’s career and the major change she had made from competitive skating to choreography. She understood the courage and the determination of such a switch had taken. Jason had more than met his match and he wasn’t having the success he expected.

Plus, she really wanted to meet the young woman she admired. Two birds, one stone. If she managed to help Jason that was just an added benefit.
