  Gupta Empire - Golden Age of Art...

  The Gupta Empire, one of the most influential dynasties in Indian history, emerged in the early 4th century CE. It marked the beginning of a new era characterized by political stability, territorial expansion, and remarkable advancements in various fields. The foundation of the empire was laid by Chandragupta I, whose leadership and strategic alliances set the stage for the golden age that followed. 
  The origins of the Gupta dynasty remain somewhat obscure, but historical records suggest that they were a powerful regional clan in the Magadha region, present-day Bihar. Unlike the Mauryan Empire, which had a centralized administrative structure, the Gupta rulers adopted a more decentralized approach, allowing local rulers to maintain a degree of autonomy while still pledging allegiance to the empire. This governance model contributed to their long-lasting rule and ensured stability across their vast territories. 
  Chandragupta I, who ascended the throne around 320 CE, played a crucial role in the establishment of the empire. His most significant achievement was his matrimonial alliance with the Licchavi princess Kumaradevi, which not only strengthened his position but also expanded his influence in the fertile Ganges basin. This strategic marriage helped him consolidate power and gain the support of powerful regional factions. As a result, the empire's boundaries began to expand, laying the groundwork for future conquests.

  Shitty Breaks - A Celebration of...

  Not everything that glitters is gold - which is why Ben Aitken went to Wolverhampton for the weekend. 
   
  Over the next year, the bestselling author of A Chip Shop in Poznan and The Gran Tour visited twelve of the least popular spots in the UK and Ireland for a city break, as ranked by national tourism boards. The motivation wasn't to take the biscuit or stick the boot in, but to seek out the good stuff, to uncover the gems, to have a nice time. By doing so, he hoped to demonstrate that anywhere - like anyone - can be interesting and nourishing and enjoyable if approached in the right fashion. 
   
  Ben went skiing in Sunderland, to the football in Wrexham, and fell in love with Dunfermline. He kissed an alpaca in Bradford, suffered jellied eels in Chelmsford, and had more craic in Limerick than was wise. The upshot is a celebration of the underdog; a hymn to the wrong direction; and evidence that there's no such thing as a shitty break. What's more, by spreading its affection beyond the usual suspects (which are often overdone and overpriced), Shitty Breaks promotes a less expensive and more sustainable brand of travel. 
   
  By going against the grain, the book champions the unsung in an algorithmic, over-signposted world dominated by celebs and hotspots. Cheeky weekend in Milton Keynes anyone?
