  Kakatiya Dynasty - Fortresses...

  The Kakatiya Dynasty emerged as a formidable power in the Deccan region of India, leaving behind a rich legacy of military strength, administrative brilliance, and cultural contributions. Their origins can be traced back to the 10th century, though historical records regarding their early rulers remain scarce. Initially, the Kakatiyas served as feudatories under the Rashtrakutas and later the Western Chalukyas, gradually expanding their influence over the Telugu-speaking region. 
  The name "Kakatiya" is believed to have originated from their association with the goddess Kakati, a form of Durga, who was worshipped as their family deity. The earliest known ruler, Venna or Beta I, established the dynasty’s foundation, but it was during the reign of Prola I that the Kakatiyas started asserting their independence. Prola II played a crucial role in strengthening their foothold by resisting Chalukyan dominance and expanding Kakatiya control over the eastern Deccan. 
  During this period, the Deccan was a contested space where multiple regional powers sought dominance. The Kakatiyas capitalized on the declining influence of the Western Chalukyas, strategically aligning themselves with or resisting various rulers to carve out an independent identity. Their stronghold was initially located in Hanamkonda, which later evolved into the grand city of Warangal, a center of Kakatiya power and cultural patronage.

  Discover a sparkling region in Southern Italy which offers the most tantalizing food, through 75 authentic recipes, cooked with care and attention using the best ingredients.
  
  Italian food reflects culture. In Italy cooking is the product of geography, history, and religion. 'Italian cooking' is really a patchwork of local and regional cuisines, all fiercely claiming to be the best in the country. Ursula Ferrigno's own family come from the south of Italy, and just south of Naples is the Amalfi Coast. It is widely considered to be one of Italy's most magical locations: breath-taking (literally) winding cliff-top roads, pastel-coloured houses tumbling down towards the sea, flower-framed terraces and trees heavy with the world's most coveted lemons at every turn. Discover the delicious food the region has to offer. Vegetable dishes take centre stage and both meat and fish are eaten and often combined. In this seductive book you'll find 75 recipes to enjoy, from simple antipasti and ministre (soups) to pane (bread) and pizza, risotto, pollame and carne (fish and meat), and the all-important contorni (vegetable), alongside essays on the food culture and traditions of the area and beautiful scenic photography.

  If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
  Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
  Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
  Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
  In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.

  In Green Lewisham we are invited to explore the surprisingly numerous green spaces in the Borough of Lewisham in south east London. Rivers, trees, grassy glades and wildlife are round almost every corner, hidden between houses and alongside railway lines and all lying less than ten miles from Trafalgar Square in central London. We have a brief history behind the many calming and natural sites and the photographs tempt us to go walking every day, and at all times of the year, as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of the autumn. Discover herons and egrets, swans, and many, many species of birds as well as the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the centuries-old River Ravensbourne and its tributaries, or find stunning views of London from the hilltops. Lewisham is celebrated as the London Borough of Culture in 2022. Candy Blackham has given us a unique book which opens our eyes to appreciating and enjoying the natural, green spaces in this special year.
