  Northern Indian Invaders -...

  Northern India has long been a battleground for powerful invaders who established vast empires, shaping the region’s culture, politics, and economy. Among these, the Kushan Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire stood out for their foreign origins and lasting influence on Indian civilization.  
  The Kushans, originally from Central Asia, played a vital role in connecting India with the Silk Road, fostering trade and spreading Buddhism across the subcontinent.  
  The Delhi Sultanate, founded by Turkic and Afghan rulers, introduced Islamic governance, transforming India's political landscape through military conquests and administrative innovations.  
  Later, the Mughal Empire, with its Timurid roots, brought about a golden age of Indo-Islamic culture, marked by architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, advancements in art, and economic prosperity.  
  These empires, though foreign in origin, became deeply intertwined with India's history, leaving behind a complex yet enduring legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural exchange.

  Timeless Adventures - The...

  This critical history of Doctor Who covers the series 60 years, from the creation of the show to its triumph as Britain's number one TV drama.
  
  Opening with an in-depth account of the creation of the series within the BBC of the early 1960s, each decade of the show is tackled through a unique political and pop cultural historical viewpoint, exploring the links between contemporary Britain and the stories Doctor Who told, and how such links kept the show popular with a mass television audience.
  
  Timeless Adventures reveals how Doctor Who is at its strongest when it reflects the political and cultural concerns of a mass British audience (the 1960s, 1970s and 21st Century), and at its weakest when catering to a narrow fan-based audience (as in the 1980s). The book also addresses the cancellation of the show in the late 1980s (following the series becoming increasing self-obsessed) and the ways in which a narrowly-focused dedicated fandom contributed to the show's demise and yet was also instrumental in its regeneration for the 21st Century under Russell T. Davies, and analyses the new series to reveal what has made it so popular, reflecting real world issues like consumerism and dieting.

  Pictures from Italy

  Charles Dickens

  Who better to travel to Italy with than Charles Dickens? From the travails of 19th century travel to the wonder of discovering the great art of western civilization, all are brought to life with the characteristic humour, wryness, sentimentality, fervour and love that are poured into the best of the author’s fiction. 
  Modern readers will recognise many of Italy’s historical treasures that millions have enjoyed since Dickens described them over 150 years ago; in that sense surprisingly, little has changed.  
  What might be more interesting to us today are the nature and mechanics of tourism in 1846. So used are we to the relative comfort and speed of global transport that we forget the discomforts (and at times horrors) undertaken by those few that would endeavour to see the world in previous centuries. By comparison we journey at our leisure whereas Dickens’ journal is more the record of a pilgrim and pioneer.  
  Far be it from him however to dwell on the rigours of Victorian tourism, indeed he saves his pithiest wit for such times and is much more interested, as he always is, in the humanity of all he encounters.  
  His vibrant and colourful description of the Roman Festival is as joyful as his reserved observation of an execution is sombre and reserved. Dickens is not enamoured of all he experiences and is quick to let us know when he suspects sham commercialism, hypocrisy or injustice.

  David Bowie's Low

  Hugo Wilcken

  Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge.  There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"), which welds R&B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World.Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, and after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.
