Sinopsis

In "Stanley in Africa," James P. Boyd presents a riveting exploration of Henry Morton Stanley's perilous expeditions across the African continent during the 19th century. The book is meticulously crafted, blending historical narrative with rich descriptive passages that illuminate the landscapes and cultures Stanley encountered. Boyd's literary style is both engaging and informative, employing a vivid prose that immerses readers in the sights and sounds of Africa while critically examining the complex interplay of imperial ambition and the ethical dilemmas surrounding exploration. Set against the backdrop of European colonialism, it conveys the broader implications of Stanley's journey in shaping Western perceptions of Africa. James P. Boyd, a distinguished historian with a profound interest in exploration and colonial narratives, draws upon extensive research and personal experience in the field, lending authenticity to his portrayal of Stanley. Boyd's previous works have demonstrated his keen ability to synthesize historical facts with compelling storytelling, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the individuals and events that have shaped our world. "Stanley in Africa" is highly recommended for scholars and casual readers alike, who seek to understand the complexities of exploration, colonialism, and humanity's insatiable quest for knowledge. This book not only chronicles Stanley's adventures but also invites reflection on the legacy of such expeditions, making it an essential addition to any historical library.

    The day you decide that your life is your own is the best day of your life. There will be no apologies or excuses. There was no one to lean on, rely on, or point the finger at. The gift is yours, it's an incredible journey, and you're solely responsible for its quality. This is the first day of your life. Having a purpose in life is one of the most fundamental human needs. Ikigai, a Japanese concept, means "a reason for being." It refers to living a fulfilling life. Many different activities can provide people with a sense of purpose in life. These activities can range from volunteering to providing social support to the elderly and even caring for pets, all linked to increased happiness, better health outcomes, and longer lifespan.Everyone is equipped with an ikigai. Your ikigai is the reason you get up in the morning, the reason you want to live fully and cheerfully. Your ikigai isn't something your makeup; it's something you're born with. The Japanese believe that discovering one's ikigai necessitates a long, contemplative search that can lead to life satisfaction and meaning. All you have to do is dig far enough to locate it. Your ikigai lies at the crossroads of four circles: what you enjoy, what the world requires, what you can be compensated for, and what you're skilled at.

    A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 
    ‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph 
    ‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The Times 
    Have you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road?  
    For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look. 
    In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today. 
    Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil. 
    Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets. 
    In his latest work, The Road, Christopher Hadley delves into the historical and social aspects of Roman roads, enriching them with elements of mythology and folklore. His unique approach to historiography breathes new life into our understanding of past civilizations and their impact on our current geography. 
    For fans of Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Robert Macfarlane (Mountains of the Mind), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Andrew Ziminski (Church Going), and Eleanor Parker (Winters in the World).

    As The Depression Project hears every single day from members of their social media community, a "language barrier" often exists between people with depression and those around them—many words, everyday expressions, and non-verbal forms of communication can take on a different meaning than they otherwise would when they are coming from someone who has depression. 
     
     
     
    Consequently, in order to overcome this "language barrier" and therefore help people with depression feel safe, understood, supported and much better as a result. This book will: 
     
     
     
    ● Explain what people with depression say other commonly spoken phrases that are often misunderstood by people who have never experienced depression themselves before. 
     
     
     
    ● Share a wide variety of suggestions to help make it easier for people with depression to put what they are going through into words. 
     
     
     
    ● Highlight the language people with depression often use that can indicate they are feeling suicidal. 
     
     
     
    Learning The Language Of Depression is an ideal book for people with depression who would like some help communicating, as well as friends and family of someone with depression who would like to better understand their loved one.

    Today, we're stuffed with dietary recommendations from every direction. Social media, advertising, food packaging, diet books, doctors—all have advice on what, how much, and when to eat. This would have been no surprise to ancient Greeks and Romans. Their doctors were intensely interested in food, offered highly prescriptive dietary advice, and developed detailed systems to categorize foods and their health effects. How to Eat is a delectable anthology of Greco-Roman writings on how to eat, exercise, sleep, bathe, and manage your sex life for optimal health. It also gathers ancient opinions on specific foods of all sorts, from how to deploy onions to cure baldness and cabbage to get sober to whether lentils are healthy and why arugula increases your sex drive. 
     
     
     
    With lively new translations by Claire Bubb, How to Eat features voices from medicine, philosophy, natural history, agriculture, and cooking, including Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, Galen, Seneca, Plutarch, and Cato. 
     
     
     
    While medicine and science have obviously changed enormously since the classical world, and some Greco-Roman beliefs about diet now appear hilariously off the mark, How to Eat reveals that much of their advice still resonates—and all of it is fascinating.
