  "This Poem 'In Days Gone By - Newbury'. Part 3 of the series Nature: Natural Healing.A time when most of the UK Countryside was criss-crossed by small roads and slow moving cars.And the pace was slower and more durable for nature.A delicate balance had been formed between the new motor car and the hedgerows and byways that struck a chord of harmony between each other. Broken now, with too many Motorways and not enough cycle lanes - leaving nature, floundering.I the Author have been writing Poetry for around 20 years. Most of it has been published on Amazon. I write on varied topics which resonate with what I'm thinking or studying at that time.Credit for the artwork on this piece, goes to Mike Miko for his interpretation of this poem into pictorial Art form." His skill in depicting the scenes of the Newbury bypass running through the heart of a forest, with a ghostly image of Swampies son, was truly remarkable.

  Ancient Egypt - Pharaohs...

  The Nile River was the lifeblood of ancient Egypt, shaping its civilization, economy, and culture. Flowing over 4,000 miles from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, the river provided a reliable source of water in an otherwise arid landscape. Without the Nile, Egypt as we know it would not have existed. 
  Each year, the river’s annual flooding deposited nutrient-rich silt onto the surrounding land, creating fertile soil ideal for agriculture. This natural cycle allowed the Egyptians to grow crops such as wheat, barley, and flax, sustaining a thriving population. The predictability of the flooding led to the development of an agricultural calendar, which played a crucial role in the organization of society. Farmers planted their crops after the waters receded and harvested them before the next flood, ensuring a steady food supply. 
  Beyond agriculture, the Nile was also Egypt’s main highway. With deserts on either side of the river, travel by land was difficult, but the Nile provided an efficient means of transportation. Boats carried goods, people, and even large stone blocks for temple and pyramid construction. Trade flourished as the Egyptians exchanged gold, papyrus, and linen for exotic products from neighboring regions, including spices from the east and cedarwood from Lebanon.

  P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.  Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including ten short stories from the anthology "Carry On, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("Carry On, Jeeves" also features the only Wooster and Jeeves story narrated by Jeeves himself!)   Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

  Laugh with political humorist Gerald Gardner, as he takes an entertaining and probing look at how six American Presidents over three decades— John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan— deliberately and effectively employed humor to achieve their political goals. In a special live recording of his best-selling book, Gardner sounds remarkably like JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, as he demonstrates how our Chief Executives have made strategic use of humor to win people over, to avoid sensitive issues, to defuse tense situations, and to deflect criticism. From the elegant wit of Kennedy to the genial joking of Reagan, you'll hear an insider's insights about the increasingly influential role humor plays in the political arena.
