    From the author of Abbey Road and Never a Dull Moment, the basis for AppleTV's 1971 documentary, come the stories of how rock icons like Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and more have survived, thrived, and remained the most powerful forces in music. 
     
     
     
    When Paul McCartney closed Live Aid in July of 1985, we thought he was rock's Grand Old Man. He was forty-three years old. As the forty years since have shown, he—and many others of his generation—were just getting started. 
     
     
     
    This was the time when live performance took over from records. The big names of the '60s and '70s exploited the Age of Spectacle that Live Aid had ushered in to enjoy the longest lap of honor in the history of humanity, continuing to go strong long after everyone else in the business had retired. 
     
     
     
    This is a story without precedent, a story in which Elton John plays a royal funeral, Mick Jagger gets a knighthood, Bob Dylan picks up a Nobel Prize, The Beatles become, if anything, bigger than The Beatles, and it's beginning to look as though all of the above will, thanks in a large part to technology, be playing in Las Vegas forever.

    The discovery of Mapungubwe in the early 20th century marked a turning point in the understanding of Southern Africa’s ancient civilizations. Hidden for centuries, this once-thriving kingdom remained unknown to the modern world until 1933, when a group of researchers stumbled upon its ruins on Mapungubwe Hill in present-day South Africa. What they uncovered would challenge colonial-era narratives and reshape the history of African state formation. 
    Archaeological excavations at the site revealed an advanced society that flourished between the 11th and 13th centuries. The remains of elaborate stone structures, pottery, and intricate gold artifacts painted a picture of a powerful kingdom with a sophisticated political and economic system. Among the most significant discoveries was the famous Golden Rhino, a small yet exquisitely crafted artifact that symbolized the wealth and status of Mapungubwe’s elite. Made from delicate sheets of gold carefully shaped around a wooden core, the rhino became an enduring emblem of the kingdom’s prosperity. 
    The site also yielded evidence of a complex social hierarchy. The ruling class resided atop Mapungubwe Hill, separated from the common people who lived in the surrounding lowlands. This physical division suggested a structured society where power was centralized, a departure from earlier African settlements where leadership was more communal. The arrangement of dwellings, burial sites, and ceremonial areas further confirmed that Mapungubwe had developed into a true kingdom with a distinct ruling elite.

    In recent times, many of us have spent more time at home than ever before. Creating a home that instills a sense of calm will cocoon and protect us from the outside world, create a sense of wellbeing and make us feel truly nurtured. Calm will help you create a restful, restorative interior that draws you in and makes your shoulders drop the moment you walk through the door. Sally Denning first explores the essential foundations of a tranquil, comforting home: calming and harmonious colours, textiles, pattern, lighting and decorative elements. She goes on to explore a mix of accessible real-life homes, ranging from city homes to country houses, new builds, flats/apartments, beach houses and more. The spaces may be different, but they all share one thing: a timeless, soothing and restful atmosphere that is a pleasure to come home to.
