Synopsis

On the Trail of William Wallace offers a refreshing insight into the life and heritage of the great Scots hero whose proud story is at the very heart of what it means to be Scottish, and whose effect on the ordinary Scot through the ages is manifest in the many sites where his memory is marked.
74 places to visit in Scotland and the north of England
One general map and three location maps
Stirling Bridge and Falkirk battle plans
Wallace's route through London
Wallace connections in North America and elsewhere
Reproductions of rarely seen illustrations
In trying to piece together the jigsaw of the reality of Wallace's life, David R. Ross weaves a subtle flow of new information with his own observations. His engaging, thoughtful and at times amusing narrative reads with the ease of a historical novel, complete with all the intrigue, treachery and romance required to hold the attention of the casual reader and still entice the more knowledgeable historian. An encyclopaedia-cum-guidebook, this book is stuffed with fascinating titbits not usually on offer in the conventional history book. It will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in Scotland, from the passing tourist to the most fervent nationalist.

    From the onset, the Nazi party were obsessed with the world of the occult. They scoured the globe in search of the weapons that would enable them to conquer the world and build their 1000 Year Reich. 
     
    From the Holy Grail to the lance that pierced the side of Christ... From Tibet to the Antarctic... no region or mythological device was ignored. 
     
    They turned the planet inside out looking for something ancient, something the Nazi elite called "the most powerful weapon"... a weapon that would instill such awe that it would cause the entire world to surrender overnight. 
     
    And then suddenly during the Second World War and perhaps even years before, the Nazi's achieved a massive leap in technology, so great that many have questioned where this Nazi science originated.

    The Untold Magellan Story Second...

    The Untold Magellan Story: Second Edition is not a work of fiction—it's a gripping journey through real history. In a bold and imaginative narrative, acclaimed historian Charles Avila brings the legendary Ferdinand Magellan across the Great Divide to speak directly to you, offering personal insights into his life, unprecedented achievements, and hard-earned reflections from five centuries past. 
    Through Avila’s masterful storytelling, Magellan recounts the epic voyage that changed the world: the first circumnavigation of the globe, the discovery of the strait that bears his name, his awe at the Magellanic Clouds, his regret over the naming of an island, and his unintended role in the birth of a nation. 
    This second edition goes further, revisiting the colonial legacy left in the wake of European expansion. In a striking historical turn, even Pope Francis—before his passing—challenged the long-held doctrine of the “right of discovery,” a decree once issued by Pope Alexander VI. Was Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines a heroic feat or an immoral act of imperialism? 
    With fresh insights and provocative questions, this book invites you to rethink history through the eyes of the man who helped shape it. Read the story. Or better yet—listen as Magellan tells it himself.

    Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

    This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
     
     
     
    The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
     
     
     
    Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.

    A biting, brilliant, often hilarious guide to socialism for budding anti-capitalists who know it’s time to dump their toxic ex (Capitalism) and try something finer. Journalist Malaika Jabali debunks myths, centers forgotten socialists of color who have shaped our world, and shows socialism is not all Marx and Bernie Bros—it can be pretty sexy. We’ve all dated someone who took control of the relationship—you know, someone who makes you feel like you’re unhappy because you’re just not putting in the work, or it’s all in your head. But when you think about trying to meet new people, it feels terrifying. Like, have you looked at Tinder recently? It’s rough out there! Your tough-love new best friend, award-winning journalist, policy attorney, and life-long socialist Malaika Jabali is here to say: we are all in a generations-long toxic relationship with Capitalism, and it is time to get the h*ll out of there and move ALONG. She gives you everything you need to know about what a healthy relationship could actually look like, issue by issue—from healthcare and housing to the whole concept of American democracy—with our new boo: Socialism. And no, Socialism isn’t the boring, grey, authoritarian, Cold-War-era monster that you’ve heard about.  With accessible explanations and illustrations, often surprising graphs and stats, and some Drake memes, this book will show you that we NEED to build a world that’s safer, kinder, cleaner, healthier, and more equal. And that this isn’t a utopian dream – it’s within our grasp, if we collectively decide to call out Capitalism for what it really is and wake up to a better future.   Fun, smart, and inspiring, It’s Not You It’s Capitalism is the hottest new relationship in your life!
