The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary.

American Notes for General...

Charles Dickens

'But the time will come; and when, in their changed ashes, the growth of centuries unborn has struck its roots, the restless men of distant ages will repair to these again unpeopled solitudes…'

Based on a trip taken just short of his thirtieth birthday, American Notes for General Circulation is a dazzling travelogue of Charles Dickens's adventures in North America in 1842.

Travelling from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, St. Louis, Quebec and more, Dickens writes candidly about his time in America. Impressed by the optimism of American society and captivated by its democratic ideals, Dickens was also critical of the rapid growth of industrialism, America's focus on materialism and its participation in slavery. A compelling artefact of nineteenth century America, American Notes for General Circulation is a fascinating snapshot in time from the perspective of a foreign observer. This audiobook is skilfully read by Matt Addis.
Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the twentieth century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed and adapted today.

Seeing 'What Is' is Action -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Seeing ‘what is’ is action - 24 May 1975  
• If truth is something totally different from reality then what place has action in 
daily life, in relation to truth and reality? 
• Seeing ‘what is’ is action. 
• What place has love in truth? 
• When I separate you, in that separation love cannot exist. 
• How are you to convey the sense of truth to a student? 
• As long as I live in the field of reality, which has its own energy, that energy will 
not free me. 
• When the mind is empty, when the mind is nothing, not a thing, in that there is 
perception.

The Battle of Salamis - The...

Barry Strauss

On a late September day in 480 BC, Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred, the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history—halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens. 
 
 
 
In this dramatic new narrative account, historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles, Athens' great leader (and admiral of its fleet), who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes, the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus, the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia, the only woman commander known from antiquity, who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights, sounds, and scent of battle, The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history.

To Build a Black Future - The...

Christopher Paul Harris

This audiobook narrated by Landon Woodson shares how the new Black politics can forge a future centered on collective action, community, and care

When #BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry is but one expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics, protest, and political thought. To Build a Black Future examines the spirit and significance of this insurgency, offering a revelatory account of a new political culture—responsive to pain, suffused with joy, and premised on care—emergent from the centuries-long arc of Black rebellion, a tradition that traces back to the Black slave.

Drawing on his own experiences as an activist and organizer, Christopher Paul Harris takes readers inside the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) to chart the propulsive trajectory of Black politics and thought from the Middle Passage to the present historical moment. Carefully attending to the social forces that produce Black struggle and the contradictions that arise within it, Harris illustrates how M4BL gives voice to an abolitionist praxis that bridges the past, present, and future, outlining a political project at once directed inward to the Black community while issuing an outward challenge to the world.

Essential reading for the age of #BlackLivesMatter, this visionary and provocative book reveals how the radical politics of joy, pain, and care, in sharp contrast to liberal political thought, can build a Black future that transcends ideology and pushes the boundaries of our political imagination.
