  Did you know that not all Romans could wear togas? 
  Movies and shows might depict Romans wearing togas and sandals everywhere they went, but that was actually not the case. In fact, togas were considered formal wear and a status symbol, as those in the higher social classes typically wore them. 
  There are many surviving writings authored by ancient Roman historians that describe the interesting traditions and customs of ancient Rome. These records provide detailed insights and scenes of the empire’s past. Some throw in a few myths, while some are infused with bias. Because of this, it can be difficult for curious listeners to distinguish between facts and opinions. 
  However, with this Enthralling History audiobook, you can easily discover the fascinating journey of the ancient Roman Empire, from the emergence of its first emperor until the fall of the Western Roman Empire. 
  Here’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll discover:How Augustus ended the decades-long civil war and rose as the empire’s “first citizen”;How the emperor’s private military forces, the Praetorian Guard, became powerful enough to slay Rome’s mad emperor;The vicious scenes of Rome’s biggest entertainment shows: the gladiatorial games and chariot races;The unique and luxurious structures of Rome that have survived to this day;Harsh punishments and training of the legionnaires;Comparison between the lush life of the wealthy and the mundane lives of commoners, slaves, and freemen;Early Christians as Emperor Nero’s scapegoats and their terrible persecution;The rise of Christianity and the sacking of Rome;And much, much more!

  Over two centuries later, the canal has a new life as a walking and cycling trail. Visitors can step back in time, enjoying the peace and quiet of yesteryear while discovering quirky humpbacked bridges and ivy-covered warehouses, in a landscape far removed from modern pressures.

  "A spellbinding serial voyage in which encounters with islands across time are gathered, displayed and reburnished. Memoir becomes morality, as the oldest human myths challenge present neglect and political malfunction." – Iain Sinclair
  "Illuminating, incisive and beautifully written." – Kirsty Young
  "From ancient Crete to modern Canvey, this is a fascinating voyage around island identity, exploring isolation and imagination through a wealth of stories from around the world." – Martha Kearney
  "A timely and original exploration of the liminalities of islands and the waters that envelop them: by turns beguiling, enchanting and ultimately affirming." – Sir Anthony Seldon
  "This is a huge theme which Mark Easton pursues with vigorous and beautifully clear prose. His archipelagic fascination is contagious. Read this and the maps in your mind will never be quite the same again." – Peter Hennessy
  ***
  No man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC Home Editor Mark Easton argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where 'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are.
  Suggesting that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid islanders pointing their canoes over the horizon, from exploration to occupation, exploitation to liberation, a hopeful journey to paradise and a chastening reminder of our planet's fragility.
  But that is only half of this mesmerising book: aided by the muse he names Pangaea, Easton also interweaves reflections on what he calls 'the psychological islands that form the great archipelago of humankind'. Taking readers on an enchanting adventure, he illustrates how understanding islands and island syndrome might help humanity get closer to the truth about itself.
  Brave, intelligent and haunting, Islands is a deep dive into geography, myth, literature, politics and philosophy that reveals nothing less than a map of the human heart.
