For Pia, regular life is a thing of the past. She is now an army wife. From 'just Pia' to an aunty, a memsaab . . . and, her favourite words in the whole wide world, Mrs Pia Arjun Mehra. Pia finds herself having to suddenly be more 'lady-like', focus on themed ladies' meets, high teas and welfare functions, and deal with long (unexpected) spells of separation from her husband. She faces extraordinary challenges, a little heartache and, well, army-life lessons. In the mysterious and grand world of army wives, Pia learns that walking in high heels is okay as long as you don't trip on combat boots. She learns that 'civil' is also a noun, that JCO and GOC are (very) different from each other, that snacks are 'shown' and 'WTF' is better explained as Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Yes, it really is a new world. This quirky, hilarious story of the first year of Pia's life as an army wife will show you that the spice to a soldier's life is most definitely his better, very strong, extremely elegant, never-cussing, witty, warm and passionate half-his army wife.

In a studiolo behind a church, six women gather to perform an act that is restorative, powerful, and illegal. They paint. Under the tutelage of Leonardo da Vinci, the six show talent and drive equal to that of any man, but in Renaissance Florence they must hide their skills, or risk the scorn of the city. A commission to paint a fresco in Santo Spirito is announced and Florence’s countless artists each seek the fame and glory this lucrative job will provide. Viviana, a noblewoman freed from a terrible marriage and now free to pursue her artistic passions in secret, sees a potential life-altering opportunity for herself and her fellow female artists. The women first speak to Lorenzo de’ Medici himself, and finally, submit a bid for the right to paint it. But the church will not stand for women painting, especially not in a house of worship. The city is not ready to consider women in positions of power, and in Florence, artists wield tremendous power. Even the women themselves are hesitant; the attention they bring upon themselves will disrupt their families, and put them in danger. All the while, Viviana grows closer to Sansone, her soldier lover, who is bringing her joy that she never knew with her deceased husband. Power and passion collide in Donna Russo Morin's 'The Competition', a sumptuous historical novel of shattering limitations, one brushstroke at a time.

Download and read online ebook The Complete Soldier write by David Lawrence. This book was released on 2009-02-28. The Complete Soldier available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The period 1603-1645 witnessed the publication of more than ninety books, manuals, and broadsheets dedicated to educating Englishmen in the military arts. Written with the intention of creating the “complete soldier”, this didactic literature provided gentlemen with the requisite knowledge to engage in infantry, cavalry, and siege warfare. Drawing on military history and book history, this is the first detailed study of the impact of military books on military practice in Jacobean and Caroline England. Putting military books firmly in the hands of soldiers, this work examines the circles that purchased and debated new titles, the veterans who authored them, and their influence on military thought and training in the years leading up to the English Civil War.
