Battlefield Yorkshire - From the Romans to the English Civil Wars

David Cook

Summary

Yorkshire's past is replete with bloody battles and sieges. From the earliest times armies have marched across the Yorkshire countryside and have fought for control of the land, the towns and the cities. Roman, Viking, Norman and the Scottish invaders have all contributed ruthless episodes to the story. Christian fought pagan, Englishman fought foreign invader, and loyalist fought rebel, in some of the most destructive battles of British history. And bitter internal conflicts, which set neighbour against neighbour, created an equally violent heritage as rival lords and landowners contended for power and influence in the north. David Cooke gives a vivid description of the outbreaks of warfare that have punctuated the county's history. Using graphic contemporary accounts and numerous illustrations and maps, he creates a vivid narrative of a county that was a battleground until modern times.

The Body's Keepers - A Social...

Paul Kimmel

The kidney is an extraordinary organ—in many ways the regulator, the metronome, the keeper of the human body’s delicate equilibrium. On a given day, minute by minute, it purifies the body of toxins it encounters from diet, climate, activity, and injury. It allows us to be and to move in the world. And yet most of us know so very little about these extraordinary vessels nestled in our bodies—and indeed millions of us only really learn about them when they stop working. Nearly a million Americans every year have end stage kidney disease, about 37 million have some form of chronic kidney disease. And it is an incredibly common universe of challenge and ailment that, until relatively recently, would simply kill those afflicted with it. Renowned nephrologist Dr. Paul Kimmel takes us on an eye-opening journey through the history of kidney disease, dialysis, and transplantation. Drawing on both his extensive research and decades of experience in the field, he explains the development of treatments, technologies, and medical practices that have advanced the care of patients with kidney disease. Kimmel illuminates the impact of medical advances on the lives of those suffering from this debilitating disease and offers a clear understanding of the challenges that remain.

Taming and Overcoming Anxiety -...

Tony Leake

Anxiety robs people of their quality of life. If you struggle with anxious thoughts or anxious feelings there it's time to take back control and these 2 powerful hypnotherapy recordings will help you to do that. Have you ever noticed that if your computer or phone or tablet is running slowly and sometimes the only thing that you need to do is to turn it off and off again? Have you ever wished that you could do that with your mind? If you have then the first recording, A Mindset Reset will help you to do just that. Then you'll find that the second recording Taking Control of Anxiety will help you to be in control of the way that you are feeling. I struggled with anxiety and debilitating panic attacks for many years. I know what it's like. Since overcoming my own struggles I've spent the last 10 years working as a hypnotherapist and anxiety coaching helping people from around the world to overcome this thing that we call anxiety. These are the exact same recordings that I developed for my clients and give them as the first steps to overcoming their difficulties. While the recordings are relaxing they are so much more than that. They use advanced recording techniques to bring you cutting edge hypnosis and deliver a real therapeutic intervention. I could use a lot of words to try to convince you how well that they work. Instead let me tell you what people tell me happens when they listen. They feel better! And that is what it's all about isn't it? Helping you to feel better fast. Because of the recording techniques used these recordings are not suitable for people with epilepsy or diagnosed mental health problems other than anxiety or mild depression.
