Sinopse

In "Hyde Park from Domesday-book to Date," John Ashton offers a meticulously researched chronicle tracing the rich history and evolution of one of London's most iconic green spaces. Blending historical analysis with vivid narrative style, Ashton delves into the park's transformation from a royal hunting ground in the 11th century to its current status as a beloved public park. His comprehensive approach incorporates primary sources, from the Domesday Book to contemporary records, while engaging readers with anecdotes and vivid descriptions that bring the park's past to life. John Ashton, a prominent figure in Victorian studies and a passionate historian, draws on his extensive research background and expertise in urban history to illuminate the multifaceted nature of Hyde Park. His fascination with the intersections between public space and societal change informs his work, as he seeks to reveal not just the development of the park, but also its significance within the broader narrative of London itself. This book reflects Ashton's dedication to public history and his ability to make the past accessible to contemporary readers. I highly recommend "Hyde Park from Domesday-book to Date" to anyone interested in urban history, landscape studies, or Victorian culture. Ashton's captivating prose combined with rigorous scholarship provides a rich tapestry of insights, making this book an essential addition to the library of history enthusiasts and casual readers alike.

    What if your love story ended not in romance—but in murder? 
    The Kreutzer Sonata is Leo Tolstoy’s explosive confession of a man undone by love. On a quiet train ride, a fellow passenger shares the dark tale of his marriage—one that spiraled from desire into mistrust, jealousy, and eventually, an unthinkable crime. 
    In this modern translation, Tolstoy’s intense meditation on passion, marriage, and morality is presented with emotional depth and gripping clarity. A powerful short novel that holds nothing back. 
    What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
    - A deeply personal, psychological descent into obsessive jealousy and regret 
    - A bold critique of love, marriage, and sexual hypocrisy 
    - A modern, emotionally intense rendition of Tolstoy’s rawest novella 
    - A tale of moral struggle that asks: Can love survive truth? 
    Short in length but epic in its emotional and ethical impact, The Kreutzer Sonata will challenge what you think you know about love.

    Combat diaries from elite operators and commanding officers dominate the space. But what happens when regulars face the fire? 
     
     
     
    Ronny Bruce is a renaissance man: philosopher, drifter, Gen X rock 'n' roller, and gentleman. At thirty-two, divorced and burnt-out with the burbs, Ronny bails on his teaching career and seeks army infantry. It's no joke when boot camp is mandatory since his marine corps' service ended ten years beforehand. Assigned to Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Ronny's platoon hunts an Afghan foe who's never surrendered. Half collapse from wounds. 
     
     
     
    Ronny's decade-long postwar journey examines victory and failure. Six men expire before thirty-five as a result of four suicides, one unexplained death, and murder. Labels for the living include felon, vagrant, drunk, addict, depressed, and suicidal. Ronny checks some boxes. Graduate, businessman, engineer, teacher, accountant, and rich describes other paths. Ronny checks some of those too. 
     
     
     
    War through the eyes of this offbeat ATLien provides explosive payoffs that get smothered by each page—answering an age-old question: what drives warriors over the edge?

    Son of Birmingham - A Memoir

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
