The Fighter of Auschwitz: The incredible true story of Leen Sanders who boxed to help others survive
**A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**‘He had the dream again last night… He taps the gloves of his unbeaten Polish opponent. There are rumours that the loser will be sent to the gas chamber.’
In 1943, the Dutch champion boxer, Leen Sanders, was sent to Auschwitz. His wife and children were put to death while he was sent ‘to the left’ with the others who were fit enough for labour. Recognised by an SS officer, he was earmarked for a ‘privileged’ post in the kitchens in exchange for weekly boxing matches for the entertainment of the Nazi guards. From there, he enacted his resistance to their limitless cruelty.
With great risk and danger to his own life, Leen stole, concealed and smuggled food and clothing from SS nursing units for years to alleviate the unbearable suffering of the prisoners in need. He also regularly supplied extra food to the Dutch women in Dr. Mengele’s experiment, Block 10. To his fellow Jews in the camp, he acted as a rescuer, leader and role model, defending them even on their bitter death march to Dachau towards the end of the war.
A story of astonishing resilience and compassion, The Fighter of Auschwitz is a testament to the endurance of humanity in the face of extraordinary evil.

Young Athletes’ Ultimate Guide to Mental Toughness: Turn failure into fuel, loss into victory, and setbacks into comebacks. 5 Simple Steps to Build Resilience, Confidence, and…
Written by former Navy SEAL and professional athlete Chad Metcalf, with a forward written by a two-time World Series winner, this life-changing manual is the proven system for building resilience and confidence… so you can win not only in sports, but also in life!
Turn your setbacks into breakthroughs – level up your game, build self-confidence, and start winning!
Do you ever feel like you’re just not good enough? Like no matter how hard you train, you always fall short of your goals?
Maybe you’re tired of feeling anxious before big games or choking under pressure.
Perhaps you’re getting frustrated with your lack of progress despite putting in hours of practice… or you’re just looking for that extra edge to take your game to the next level.
Whatever your situation may be, they all boil down to one thing: you need to cultivate mental strength.
All successful athletes in any sport swear by the critical role of mental toughness in achieving success. In fact, professional boxing legend Muhammad Ali once said, “Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
Because without mental toughness, the greatest sporting figures wouldn’t have reached the pinnacle of their game. But more interestingly, mental toughness can be used in other areas of your life, too!
Despite its importance, however, not many people pay attention to building a tough mentality. They don’t realize that it can make all the difference in their performance, whether it’s on the field, in the classroom, or at work.
But you don’t have to be one of them. You can choose to get ahead… with the help of this transformative guidebook.
Inside, you will discover:
- How to use mental toughness as a superpower in any situation – unlock your full potential and push through any challenge
- The importance of assessing your skills, strengths, and weaknesses – know what you’re capable of and be able to pinpoint the areas needing improvement
- Why you need to seek out and gain knowledge from various sources and translate your learnings into action – knowledge is power, no matter where you are!
- Surefire ways to develop your skills with deliberate practice – ever wondered why other professional athletes spend most of their time training?
- The secret to developing two mindsets: training and competition (each is equally important and critical to achieving your goals and embarking on this journey to success)
- Effective strategies to use failure as an opportunity for growth – be comfortable with failing, as it is all part of the ultimate game plan!
- The parallels between sports and real life… and how you can utilize mental toughness to not just survive but thrive and succeed
And much more!
You might think you don’t have what it takes to be mentally tough or that mental toughness is only for elite athletes, but that’s just not true.
Sure, many have failed at acquiring this crucial skill, but it doesn’t have to be you. You have this book to walk you through every step of the process.
So… shall we start training?
Remember, mental toughness isn’t just something you’re born with – you have to cultivate and nurture it. Scroll up and click “Add to Cart” right now.

Young Mungo: The No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller
Shortlisted for the Booktok Book of the Year.
The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller.‘Prepare your hearts, for Douglas Stuart is back. After the extraordinary success of Shuggie Bain, his second novel, Young Mungo, is another beautiful and moving book, a gay Romeo and Juliet set in the brutal world of Glasgow’s housing estates.’ – The Observer
The extraordinary, powerful second novel from the Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain, Young Mungo is both a vivid portrayal of working-class life in 80s Glasgow, and the deeply moving story of the dangerous first love of two young men.
Born under different stars, Protestant Mungo and Catholic James live in a hyper-masculine world. They are caught between two of Glasgow’s housing estates, where young working-class men divide themselves along sectarian lines, and fight territorial battles for the sake of reputation.
They should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all, and yet they become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the doocot that James has built for his prize racing pigeons. As they begin to fall in love, they dream of escaping the grey city, and Mungo must work hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his elder brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold.
But the threat of discovery is constant and the punishment unspeakable. When Mungo’s mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in western Scotland with two strange men behind whose drunken banter lie murky pasts, he needs to summon all his inner strength and courage to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future.
Douglas Stuart’s Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the meaning of masculinity, the push and pull of family, the violence faced by so many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much.

Your Dog Ate My Shoe: Etudes For Young Actors Op. 1
This is the first book in the series of short one to three-minute exercises for young actors. This first volume contains one hundred eleven scenes of different levels of difficulty for actors as young as six years old to late teens and young adults.
Each generation deserves its own voice. Therefore, in contrast to other acting books written for teens by adults, this book was written by their peer.
Each scene is provided with a b-code that describes for what age range and gender identification it is suitable to be performed. Scenes were constructed in a way that it would be easy for the young actor to perform them with their acting coach, parent or colleague.
All scenes are formatted according to the standard script formatting guidelines.
The paper version of this book is intentionally printed on non-glossy paper and is meant to be scribbled on. Please make it your own, take it with you to your acting lesson, and put your thoughts and findings in pencil or ink.
Please note that this book is published not-for-profit the collection is provided in electronic form to patrons so they can support the website https://www.bcacting.com.
At the time of publishing (October 2023) All of scenes in this book can be downloaded for free from the official website https://www.bcacting.com where they were originally published between April and September 2023.
“Your Dog Ate My Shoe” is a citation from one of the very first scenes written for this book. The subtitle of the book “Etudes For Young Actors Op. 1” is inspired by music books, étude in French means an exercise, and opus is a collection of works. As actors use their bodies as an instrument to perform truthful emotions, there’s no better subtitle that I could imagine.

Your Head is a Houseboat: A Chaotic Guide to Mental Clarity
‘The most important and accessible mental health book in a generation. Truly life-changing.’ – Osher Günsberg
Your Head is a Houseboat is a uniquely hilarious guide to what goes on in your brain, from illustration sensation Campbell Walker aka Struthless.
The only truth we really know is that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives in our own houseboat (our head) so it makes sense to make that houseboat as good as possible. The houseboat needs cleaning and maintenance, and it shouldn’t be weighed down by junk (our own thoughts and other people’s opinions). It has an unreliable and overworked Sea Captain, and a zoo of animalistic desires below the deck who are really steering. But it’s your houseboat, so it’s probably time for you to cast away and set sail (is that even how houseboats work?) on a journey to understanding it.
In Your Head is a Houseboat, Cam demystifies brain functions, mental health, emotions, mindfulness and psychology – but with less complex terminology and more bizarre metaphors. It’s a book filled with illustrations, journal exercises and words that will probably hit too close to home. At its core, this is a funny, accessible approach to understanding your head and making it a nicer place to live.

Your Mental Health Workout: A 5 Week Programme to a Healthier, Happier Mind
*The ideal gift to yourself in the middle of winter* Stylist’s Christmas gift books round up 2021
In just 5 weeks, you will come out of Your Mental Health Workout with a sharper mind, clearer-decision making skills and greater resilience.
Your Mental Health Workout™ provides you with exercises, tools, affirmations and expert guidance so you can start looking after your mental health for the long term. Zoë Aston, psychotherapist, the UK mental health expert at Headspace and mental health consultant to many high-profile individuals, has devised a ground-breaking 5-week schedule to help you build mental muscle; she incorporates 2 to 3 years of one-to-one therapy in one book. Our mental health is just like our physical health; we all have psychological weak spots or injuries and, just like physical injury, when they get used they may feel tender or uncomfortable. They need to be cared for in the right way so they can heal.
Zoë’s tried-and-tested workout plan, which helps to normalise the conversation around mental health, is split into weekly and daily sets. The weekly workouts help develop accountability, commitment to yourself and others and encourage physical exercise as a form of mood management. While your daily workouts move your focus inwards, providing space and time for you to look after the integrity of your mind through development of healthy self-talk. At the end of the book, there is a handy planner so you can easily track your progress.
By following Zoë’s plan you will become stronger, happier and can create the internal emotional landscape you want to live in.
‘I worked with Zoë for 6 months, prior to which I had always been quite sceptical about whether I would benefit from therapy. During that time she helped me to get to know myself, understand myself, and be kinder to myself.’ – Dr Zoë Williams
‘Zoë’s techniques are easy and give great results. Her work has given me wonderful insight into how I can look after my mind and makes mental wellness feel accessible to everyone. I highly recommend Your Mental Health Workout™ to anyone who has the desire to improve their emotional health.’ – Pixie Lott

But unfortunately, there aren’t many books out there that offer a compilation of stories that aren’t fiction, but real. True experiences by true people we can connect to.
So, we simply made one.
Do you feel like laughing today? Do you want to cry? Do you want to dive into real experiences others just like you and me went through?
Then this book is the right choice for you. Come in, we’re ready!
“With that, I walked away. Later I received a text saying, “You’re cruel,” but I blocked all calls and messages afterward. It became easier to wrap things up since the final conversation ended that way.”
“After taking a shower, my wife comes out of the bathroom naked and puts her clothes on in her room. If it would only happen in our own house, I wouldn’t think twice about it, but she is also doing it in front of her family and friends.”
“When my husband and I came home from work together one day, we found that our bedroom door had been broken. As soon as my husband saw the door, he went to confront his mother right away.”

Fill the emptiness left by the loss of your beloved pet by listening to powerful messages they are sending you from the afterlife—discover the wonder of eternal, unconditional love.The years seem to fly by when you have a pet that you connect with deeply.
You contemplate your four-pawed friend enjoying a peaceful nap on the sofa, and your heart grows heavy with love as you take in the beauty of the moment.
Wherever you go, your pet wants to be by your side, and from the time they first come home until their senior years, you share countless adventures and experiences.

How did the years fly by so quickly?
If you’ve loved and lost a pet, and you are finding it hard to overcome their loss, know that your emotions are shared by millions of people across the globe.
A recent Pew Research Center survey revealed that 97% of people feel their pets are part of their family.

But what if there was a way to stay connected to your pet eternally?
What if you could tap into your pet’s powerful desire to protect and love you, and what if their messages could enhance your health, happiness, and well-being until you meet again?
If you wish to deepen your connection with your pet and keep them alive in your mind and heart, this is the book for you.
It contains a wealth of vital information and personal stories that reveal how you can harness your pet’s messages from beyond to make a positive difference in your life and that of others.
Within its pages, you will discover:
- 19 signs that your pet is reaching out to you — plus seven vital spiritual lessons your pet can reveal
- Essential ways to communicate with your pets after death so they know how much they will always mean to you — featuring a step-by-step meditation process
- The power of synchronicity—How your thoughts, emotions, and consciousness can make a dramatic difference in your life!
- How to cultivate trust in divine timing and recognize the signs that it is working in your life
- Key signs and symbols in dreams — capture the power of lucid dreaming to strengthen your connection to your pet
- How to deal with the pain of losing a pet by going through the full grieving process
- Open your mind to the myriad of symbols and messages that abound in nature—from robin sightings to ladybugs!
And so much more.
The author, Agnes Sligh Turnbull, once said that the only “fault” of pets is how short their lives are.
Yet love lasts beyond this lifetime, and you can protect the unbreakable bond you have built with your pet.
When you love a pet profoundly, there is no goodbye. If you don’t want to let go of one of the most authentic friendships you have ever experienced, scroll up and click “Add to Cart” now.

Yves Klein
In the mid-1950s, Yves Klein (1928–1962) declared that “a new world calls for a new man.” With his idiosyncratic style and huge charisma, this bold artist would go on to pursue a brief but bountiful career, producing more than 1,000 paintings over seven years in an oeuvre now considered a mainstay of postwar modernism.
Klein made his name above all with his large monochrome canvases in his own patented hue of blue. International Klein Blue (IKB), composed of pure pigment and binding medium, is at once rich and luminous, evocative and decorative, and was conceived by Klein as a means of evoking the immateriality and infinitude of the world. The works of this “Blue Revolution” seem to draw us into another dimension, as if hypnotized by a perfect summer sky. Klein was also renowned for his deployment of “living brushes,” in which naked women, daubed in International Klein Blue, would make imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper.
This Basic Art introduction presents key Klein works to introduce an artist who was at once a showman, inventor, and pioneer of performance art. With page after page of the ever-alluring International Klein Blue, it is both an essential guide to a modern art master and a meditation on the unique effects of a single color.
About the series
Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:
a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance
a concise biography
approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions
