The Five Love Languages 
How to express heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate                    By Gary Chapman

Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice.

World War II The Definitive Visual History From Blitzkrieg to the Atom Bomb

                Edited by Dorling Kindersley

More than 70 years have passed since World War II began in 1939. The conflict will forever remain one of the most cataclysmic events in the history of mankind in terms of the number of people involved, the men and women killed, and the devastation wrought by modern weaponry.

Through the years, countless books, films, and video games have kept the Second World War alive in the public's memory. But few titles have been able to visually capture the conflict's global impact in one accessible account. In DK Publishing's latest release, World War II: The Definitive Visual History, the war's influential figures, politics, events, first-person accounts, critical moments, and innovative technologies are examined collectively through compelling images including rare color photographs original maps, and graphics. This ultimate World War II guide describes each momentous episode of the conflict, while simultaneously giving an overarching view of the war intended to end all wars. --History Channel Magazine
