  This is the story of Tiberius Claudius Nero, the step-son of Augustus Caesar, who, despite obstacles and his own reluctance, became the second emperor of Rome. His public life spanned the tumultuous period of transition from the Roman Republic to the Emperorship, and his private life took a series of unusual and surprising turns. He proved himself to be Rome’s greatest general of the day, but he had been forced into an unhappy marriage to Augustus’ recalcitrant daughter Julia, and he abandoned his duties and moved to the Island of Rhodes, where he studied Greek art and philosophy. Eventually, he had to return to Rome to lead the legions, and when Augustus died, Tiberius became emperor. Again, he left Rome and ruled it from the Island of Capri.

  'Only what is open and searching is active and alive. You, the actor, must learn to find security in insecurity, certainty in uncertainty, to trust that this will lead to discovery and growth.'
  In What Actors Do, revered theatre director Mike Alfreds explores the wellspring of the actor's craft, tracing a pathway to creative freedom through the thickets of competing methodologies and confusing paradoxes that you will face throughout your training and career.
  How do you give life to a character that both is and isn't yourself? How can you be childlike and open in your work without becoming childish? How, when you know what's coming next, can you still be spontaneous?
  Frank, uncompromising and full of sharply focused insights, this book will help you strip away the inhibitions and habitual thinking that can shackle our imaginations. It will show you how to generate truthful performances by trusting your inner creativity and remaining radically open, responsive and present in every moment.
  Mike Alfreds has been directing plays for more than seventy years. In the 1970s he founded Shared Experience, and has since worked for the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company and also extensively abroad. He is hugely respected within the profession, and is the author of two previous books, Different Every Night and Then What Happens?
  'If I was allowed to train again to be an actor, but I was only allowed one teacher, it would have to be Mike Alfreds. To me he is a genius when it comes to acting and storytelling' Mark Rylance

  The History Trees

  The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
  Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
  “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
  First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
  Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
  Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
  For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).

  On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to life's problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals, where four-sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air, using radial flight. With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.
  'Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations. This is a must-read book, which I heartily recommend.' ~ Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology

  "So sensitive and descriptive. I loved the forms and images that came to my mind as I read it!" 
  Alejandra Mantiñan - for the chapter The meaning of your personal-development path in tango 
  Connection, expression, wonderful tandas; what if you could get more of this? 
  In this unique audiobook, which became the most translated tango book in the world, Dimitris takes you on a journey of exploring connection, awareness, and meaning in tango. 
  In its short chapters, tango philosophy and meaningful stories merge with practical conclusions in a personal conversation that can change the way you experience your tango forever. 
  This audiobook is for those who look for meaning, connection, and awareness in tango; in one word: Tangofulness. 
  It is for those who know how it is to be hugged and feel safe; for those who have experienced a few best-tanda-of-my-life moments and want more of them. 
  Above all, it is for those who want to explore the origin of meaningful connection in argentine tango, not as an intellectual process, but as a practical way to experience tangofulness more often and in greater intensity. 
  Dimitris Bronowski took his first tango steps in 2009. 
  In 2019 he quit his job to dedicate himself to his passion: tango. He is the publisher of the bestselling book Tango Tips by the Maestros, a tango blogger, creator of the podcast and newsletter 'The Curious Tanguero', and a student of tango. His vision is to help one million people experience moments of meaning through tango.
