Sinopsis

Siege Engines explores the history, mechanics, and impact of siege weaponry in ancient and medieval warfare. It details how machines like trebuchets and battering rams were vital in overcoming fortifications, influencing military strategy, and driving mechanical engineering innovations. For example, the book demonstrates how the construction of these engines required not only engineering knowledge but also significant social and economic resources.

 
The book uniquely combines military history with mechanical engineering, revealing how siege engines were more than just tools of destruction. It examines their design, construction, and deployment, highlighting their role in reshaping political landscapes. The narrative begins with early siege tactics, progresses into detailed chapters on trebuchets, catapults, and battering rams, and concludes with an analysis of the impact of siege engines on military strategy, architecture, and society.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    What if your darkest desire was also the salvation of your relationship? 
    Emma and Rose have been together for ten years. Ten years of love... and routine, of silence, of looks that no longer burn. Until a suspicious message on Rose's phone changes everything. Instead of breaking apart, Emma lets herself be carried away by an unexpected flood: the thrill of watching. Of spying. Of obeying. 
    What starts as a suspicion turns into a dynamic of power, lust, and submission that awakens the deepest desires of both. Rose, dominant, cruel, and addicted to control, finds a new way to love through play, humiliation, and exposure. Emma, sweet, emotional, and insecure, discovers that being used, shared, and marked gives her something she thought she'd lost: pleasure... and belonging. 
    This is an intense, uncensored erotic story about a couple's relationship reborn through pain, surrender, and consensual perversion. Featuring explicit scenes, BDSM dynamics, cuckolding, fetishes, and moments of deep emotional connection, this novel is not for sensitive readers. 
    But if you dare to watch, feel, and surrender... welcome to this journey where love and humiliation dance to the same rhythm.

    ‘Popular history at its very best, thought-provoking and accessible. Underpinned by serious research, and written with panache, it summons up a vanished world’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 
    This is an astonishing new account of Alexander the Great – one of the most important figures of the ancient world, whose earlier years have until now been a mystery.  
    Alexander the Great’s story often reads like fiction: son to a snake-loving mother and a battle-scarred father; tutored by Aristotle; a youth from the periphery of the Greek world who took part in his first campaign aged sixteen, becoming king of Macedon at twenty and king of Asia by twenty-five; leading his armies into battle like a Homeric figure. 
    Each generation has peered through the frosted glass of history and come to their own conclusion about Alexander, be it enlightened ruler, military genius, megalomaniac, drunkard or despot. Yet the first two decades of his life have until now been a mystery – a matter of legend and myth. This extraordinary history draws on new discoveries in archaeology to tell the early story of Alexander and his rise – including detail on the tempestuous relationship between Alexander’s parents, Philip and the Molossian princess Olympias, his education by Aristotle and the strict military training which would serve him so well in later years. And more than ever, it emerges, the story of Alexander’s reign confronts us with difficult questions that are still relevant today – of the relationship between East and West, the legacy of colonialism and the impacts of authoritarian rule. 
    Drawing together startling modern archaeological discoveries, this book brings Alexander’s ancient world back into focus. With each fragment of this shattered past, excavated by shovel, pick and trowel, a new history is being written. The forgotten story of young Alexander is being unearthed. 
    This historical biography of Alexander the Great, written with a top-notch narrative style, delves into the heart of the Byzantine empire, shedding light on its civilisation. The book, a masterpiece by Alex Rowson, is a must-read for anyone interested in the social dynamics of ancient Greece. 
    For fans of Adrian Keith Goldsworthy (The Eagle and the Lion), Anthony Everitt (The Rise of Rome), Paul Cartledge (Thebes), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), and Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones (Persians).

    Cassandra Speaks - When Women...

    What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her? What if women had been the storytellers? 
    Elizabeth Lesser believes that if women’s voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories—stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence. 
    Cassandra Speaks is about the stories we tell and how those stories become the culture. It’s about the stories we still blindly cling to, and the ones that cling to us: the origin tales, the guiding myths, the religious parables, the literature and films and fairy tales passed down through the centuries about women and men, power and war, sex and love, and the values we live by.  Stories written mostly by men with lessons and laws for all of humanity. We have outgrown so many of them, and still they endure. This book is about what happens when women are the storytellers too—when we speak from our authentic voices, when we flex our values, when we become protagonists in the tales we tell about what it means to be human. 
    Lesser has walked two main paths in her life—the spiritual path and the feminist one—paths that sometimes cross but sometimes feel at cross-purposes. Cassandra Speaks is her extraordinary merging of the two. The bestselling author of Broken Open and Marrow, Lesser is a beloved spiritual writer, as well as a leading feminist thinker. In this book she gives equal voice to the cool water of her meditative self and the fire of her feminist self. With her trademark gifts of both humor and insight, she offers a vision that transcends the either/or ideologies on both sides of the gender debate. 
    Brilliantly structured into three distinct parts, Part One explores how history is carried forward through the stories a culture tells and values, and what we can do to balance the scales. Part Two looks at women and power and expands what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong. And Part Three offers “A Toolbox for Inner Strength.” Lesser argues that change in the culture starts with inner change, and that no one—woman or man—is immune to the corrupting influence of power. She provides inner tools to help us be both strong-willed and kind-hearted. 
    Cassandra Speaks is a beautifully balanced synthesis of storytelling, memoir, and cultural observation. Women, men and all people will find themselves in the pages of this book, and will come away strengthened, opened, and ready to work together to create a better world for all people.
