  The Knotsman does not exist, you will not find him in history books or collections of 'bygone' skills. But Math Jones has created him, and his fellows, in a time very like the English Civil War. There he is, going from house to house, village to village, battlefield to gallows, unravelling knots and problems, physical, emotional and psychological; a new kind of cunning man, not always welcome, not always quite as clever as his fingers and picks would have him believe.

  Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
  The site of Angkor, in modern-day Cambodia, which worked as the Khmer capital throughout the empire's prime time, is maybe its most long-lasting tradition. The stunning Angkor structures, like Angkor Wat and Bayon, attest to the Khmer Empire's incredible strength and wealth, remarkable art and culture, architectural strategy, visual accomplishments, and the series of belief systems that it bought from in time. Angkor was the world's biggest pre-industrial cosmopolitan center between the 11th and 13th centuries, according to satellite photography. 
  Let’s learn more about what we know about the happenings in this vast empire from so long ago.

  Peter Freuchen was born on February 2, 1886, in the small town of Nykøbing Falster, Denmark. Raised in a well-off family, his early life was marked by an environment that fostered curiosity and exploration. From a young age, Freuchen exhibited a strong interest in adventure and the natural world. He was inspired by his father, a civil engineer, and his mother, who instilled in him a love for literature and storytelling. These early experiences would play a crucial role in shaping his adventurous spirit and intellectual curiosity, which would define much of his later life. 
  Freuchen's education was broad and varied. Initially attending school in his hometown, he soon showed an aptitude for science and geography. However, his desire to explore the world beyond the classroom eventually led him to study at the University of Copenhagen, where he focused on medicine and natural sciences. Although Freuchen did not complete his medical degree, his time at the university was pivotal in forming his understanding of the natural world and fostering his interest in Arctic exploration. 
  During his student years, Freuchen was drawn to the literature of explorers such as Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen. These accounts of Arctic adventures ignited a deep passion in him to experience such feats firsthand. While still a young man, he decided to leave behind his academic pursuits and embark on an adventure that would change his life forever. At the age of 22, Freuchen sailed to Greenland, where he would spend the next several years of his life living among the Inuit people. It was here that Freuchen learned the skills necessary to survive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. His time in Greenland was not just a physical trial but also an intellectual journey, as he immersed himself in the culture, language, and survival techniques of the Inuit.

  Dive into the heart of Rome's most defining era in "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" a compelling compilation that brings together two insightful books into one monumental volume. This masterfully crafted narrative by Clifford Alexander takes you on a journey through one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in Roman history, an era that witnessed the drastic shift from the Roman Republic to the might of the Roman Empire. 
  In the first part of this comprehensive work, explore the intricate dynamics of the First Triumvirate. Witness the political genius of Julius Caesar, the wealth and ambition of Marcus Licinius Crassus, and the military prowess of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus as they join forces, only to find their alliance plagued by greed and betrayal. This segment brilliantly captures the end of the Roman Republic, marked by internal strife, power struggles, and the eventual descent into civil war. 
  Transition into the second part, where the aftermath of Caesar's assassination sets the stage for the Second Triumvirate. Here, the narrative delves into the alliance of Gaius Octavius (Augustus), Marc Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. This section vividly portrays their initial unity against Caesar's assassins, the subsequent division of the Roman world, and the eventual rise of Augustus as the unchallenged ruler of the Roman Empire. 
  "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" not only offers a detailed account of political maneuvers, battles, and the personalities that shaped an empire but also provides a deep understanding of the socio-political structures of ancient Rome. It's a compelling read for history enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the intrigues of one of history's most influential civilizations.
