Summary

"White Waters and Black" is an adventure novel by the American writer Gordon MacCreagh, who recreated some of his experiences during his visit to the Amazon river. The book tells about eight "Eminent Scientificos" as they set out to explore the Amazon in 1923. They have no idea what to expect from this wild land, and as they meet rapids, malaria, monkey stew, and "dangerous savages," they change. The book is prominent in two ways: it offers an incredibly realistic account of the trip to Amazon and subtle observations on human behavior in extreme conditions.
Available since: 12/10/2023.

    Henry Esmond is a historical novel set in early 18th-century England, following the life of Henry Esmond, a loyal, honorable man entangled in the political and domestic intrigues of an aristocratic family. Blending romance, wit, and historical detail, it explores themes of love, legitimacy, and loyalty amid the turbulent reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings. The English Humourists and The Four Georges are companion nonfiction works: the former offers critical portraits of 18th-century satirists like Swift and Fielding, while the latter examines the manners, morals, and monarchs of Georgian England with Thackeray’s trademark irony and social insight.

    Award-winning campaigner and founder of the global Craftivist Collective Sarah Corbett shows how to respond to injustice not with apathy or aggression, but with gentle, effective protest.
This is a manifesto – for a more respectful and contemplative activism; for conversation and collaboration where too often there is division and conflict; for using craft to engage, empower and encourage us all to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Sarah's craftivism has helped change laws and business policies as well as hearts and minds. Here, with thoughtful principles and practical examples, she shows that quiet action can speak as powerfully as the loudest voice.

    From the vast silence of the Mongolian steppe to the glowing towers of the modern metropolis, Reece Davis follows the arc of human movement — the long migration from open land to crowded streets, from nomad to citizen. 
In From Steppe to Skyline, Davis journeys across continents and centuries, exploring how landscapes shape people — and how people, in turn, shape their surroundings. Through encounters with shepherds, artisans, and city dwellers, he uncovers the enduring human rhythm that connects wilderness and civilization, solitude and society. 
Blending travel writing, history, and philosophy, Davis paints a portrait of the world’s great transformation — and asks whether progress has brought us closer to one another, or simply further from the wild places that made us. 
Expansive, wise, and deeply human, From Steppe to Skyline is a meditation on movement, belonging, and the evolving map of what we call home.
