  The People Who Own the World -...

  Power has always been a driving force behind the world's greatest shifts, shaping nations, economies, and cultures. While political leaders and public figures often take the spotlight, true power often lies in the hands of those who operate behind the scenes. These individuals, families, and organizations wield influence not through democratic processes, but through wealth, strategic connections, and the ability to manipulate societal frameworks. Understanding this hidden power structure is crucial to grasping how the world truly functions. 
    
  Wealth has long been a powerful tool for control, enabling elites to shape policies, industries, and even social norms. Financial empires built by powerful banking families, corporate giants, and investment firms have grown to dominate global economies. Their influence extends far beyond Wall Street or corporate boardrooms — it reaches into political systems, media narratives, and cultural trends. Those with the greatest financial resources have the capacity to mold the world to their advantage, often with little public awareness. 
    
  Secret societies, elite networks, and exclusive organizations further strengthen these power structures. Groups like the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and other closed-door forums provide platforms for powerful individuals to collaborate and strategize. While their intentions may vary, these groups foster an environment where a select few can guide global agendas without public scrutiny. This covert decision-making shapes economic trends, diplomatic relations, and social movements in ways that are difficult to trace.

  The Babel Message - A Love...

  'Quite simply, and quite ridiculously, one of the funniest and most illuminating books I have ever read. I thought I was obsessive, but Keith Kahn-Harris is playing a very different sport. He really has discovered the whole world in an egg.' Simon Garfield
  A thrilling journey deep into the heart of language, from a rather unexpected starting point.
  
  Keith Kahn-Harris is a man obsessed with something seemingly trivial - the warning message found inside Kinder Surprise eggs:
  
  WARNING, read and keep: Toy not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts might be swallowed or inhaled.
  
  On a tiny sheet of paper, this message is translated into dozens of languages - the world boiled down to a multilingual essence. Inspired by this, the author asks: what makes 'a language'? With the help of the international community of language geeks, he shows us what the message looks like in Ancient Sumerian, Zulu, Cornish, Klingon - and many more. Along the way he considers why Hungarian writing looks angry, how to make up your own language, and the meaning of the heavy metal umlaut.
  
  Overturning the Babel myth, he argues that the messy diversity of language shouldn't be a source of conflict, but of collective wonder. This is a book about hope, a love letter to language.
  'This is a wonderful book. A treasure trove of mind-expanding insights into language and humanity encased in a deliciously quirky, quixotic quest. I loved it. Warning: this will keep you reading.' - Ann Morgan, author of Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer

  Satavahana Empire - Buddhism...

  The Satavahana Empire, one of the earliest and most influential dynasties in ancient India, emerged in the Deccan region after the decline of the Mauryan Empire. The origins of the Satavahanas remain a subject of historical debate, but they are believed to have belonged to the Andhra region, gaining prominence as local chieftains before consolidating their rule into a powerful dynasty. Their rise marked a significant transition in Indian history, bridging the gap between the Mauryan administration and later regional powers. 
  The early history of the Satavahanas is primarily reconstructed through inscriptions, numismatic evidence, and references in ancient texts. The Puranas mention them as the Andhra dynasty, while inscriptions such as the Naneghat and Nasik inscriptions provide valuable insights into their rulers and governance. The first known ruler of the dynasty, Simuka, is credited with establishing Satavahana rule by overthrowing remnants of Mauryan authority in the Deccan and expanding his control over parts of present-day Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. His successors continued to strengthen the empire, laying the foundation for centuries of Satavahana dominance. 
  Following Simuka, his brother and successor Krishna further expanded the territory, but it was under the reign of Satakarni I that the empire gained considerable power. Satakarni I led successful military campaigns, extending his influence northward to the Narmada region and challenging the Shunga and Kshatrapa rulers. His achievements were commemorated in inscriptions and coins, some of which depict him performing Vedic sacrifices such as the Ashvamedha, indicating his aspirations for imperial legitimacy. This period also saw the Satavahanas emerging as key players in trade, administration, and culture, integrating diverse communities into their governance system.

  'From the moment that these waters were given back their beavers, I knew that I would never wish to return to the time when they were without them . . .'
  In November 2021, in a major moment in Scotland's history, a family of beavers was spared a death sentence and relocated to a Perthshire farm. Their arrival at Argaty, Tom Bowser's home, paved the way for a new era in human–beaver relations.
  In this deeply personal account, Tom tells of his attempts to save these incredible animals, of the support and opposition received and of the unimaginable gains that beavers ultimately brought to his home. He also explores the wider themes of rewilding and nature conservation in Scotland, meeting some of the leading lights of this exciting movement, highlighting the work they do, the challenges they face and showing why ecological restoration is so important for the future of our planet.
