A Biography of Isambard Kingdom...

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

The year is 1806 – a baby boy has just been born in a small English coastal town. This child was born into a world without the lightbulb, without cars; a world in which only two years previously mankind had discovered that steam could be used to power a locomotive engine. This was a time of rapid change – the industrial revolution was beginning and one of the world's greatest and most inventive minds was about to make history.

He would become one of the leading figures of this new technological age, helping to bring the world out of the darkness of the previous centuries, and into a new era of progress.

He was a visionary – an engineer and inventor of unparalleled ingenuity and ambition. With his railway projects he would conquer rivers, mountains, and vast stretches of land. His oceanic projects would produce the largest and most powerful ships the world had ever seen – helping thousands of people to bridge the continents and bringing mankind closer than ever before. His architectural projects would serve as testament to the ingenuity of mankind and would stamp his legacy upon the landscape. But his legacy endures in more than his constructions and inventions – his genius would come to inspire whole generations of new engineers, architects, and scientists – his legacy lives on all around us.

So, join us now, as we trace his story from its very beginnings – join us on an exploration of the life and times of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Ancient Wonderings: Journeys...

James Canton

‘Intensely alive to the landscape; its pasts, people and creatures’ Robert Macfarlane
Take a journey into our ancient past. Explore a long-lost landscape and gradually discover the minds, beliefs and cultural practices of those souls who lived on these lands thousands of years before you.
Travelling the length and breadth of Britain, James Canton pursues his obsession with the physical traces of the ancient world: stone circles, flint arrowheads, sacred stones, gold, and a lost Roman road. He ponders the features of the natural world that occupied ancient minds: the night sky, shooting stars, the rising and setting sun. Wandering to the furthest reaches of the islands, he finds an undeciphered standing stone north of Aberdeen and follows the first footsteps on the edge of a long-lost Ice Age land in the North Sea.
As Canton walks the modern terrain, slowly understanding the ancient signs that lie within and beneath it, he weaves a gentle tale of discovery, showing how, beyond the superficial differences of life-style and culture, the ancient inhabitants of the British Isles were much closer to the present-day one than we might imagine.
This historical masterpiece by James Canton takes us on a top-tier exploration of geography and history. It's a bestseller that delves deep into the roots of our ancient past, making it a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the world we live in today.
For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Katherine May (Enchantment), and Roger Deakin (Waterlog).
