  'This book should be in your hands!' – Medieval History Magazine
  'A detailed and readable account of Hotspur's life that conveys a sense of the endemic violence of the Border Marches.' – Northern History
  'Boardman has studied the battlefields of Otterburn, Homildon Hill and Shrewsbury and combines knowledge of terrain, weapons, and tactics with contemporary narratives to produce feasible reconstructions and explanations of what actually occurred.' – Michael Hicks
  Immortalised by Shakespeare in Henry IV, Part I Henry Percy, nicknamed 'Hotspur', is among the best known of all his warlike characters.
  As the young, honourable but impatient rebel soldier whose chivalrous exploits on the battlefield end in disaster at Shrewsbury in 1403, Hotspur is the archetypal anti-hero: a character of such tragic and dramatic significance that even his well-known nickname has passed from history into legend. But who was the historical Henry Percy, and why did his rise to fame bring him into direct confrontation with his king?
  This fully updated book tells the story of the real Henry Percy and his overbearing family, and how the survival of a great northern dynasty led to open rebellion and ultimately military failure.

  The Journey's End - An...

  In the tradition of Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal, this compassionate work helps individuals develop a more accepting view of dying while teaching them what to expect and how to navigate the healthcare system at the end of life. 
    
  In elderhood, the health care system has a narrow view of how to provide care. It focuses on extending a patient's life at all costs, with an over-reliance on machines and procedures, instead of caring holistically for the person. Accordingly, many of us will likely spend our final weeks in long-term care facilities or an ICU. 
    
  Dying at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family is almost impossible in our world—and our fear of death is a major contributor to this impossibility. Fittingly, the central idea of this book is that in old age, or when facing a terminal diagnosis, it is more important to understand your life rather than to extend it. While this may seem simple, its implications are profound. 
    
  A natural death means accepting that, at some point, we are old enough or sick enough to die. In our cynical and overly clinical age, it is difficult to reflect on the meaning of one's life, but that kind of honest introspection is exactly what we need. Accordingly, The Journey’s End seeks to help people manage their healthcare, their expectations, and their decisions in the final phase of life.

  Tales of fairies and bewitching Little People have amazed and horrified New Englanders for over four hundred years. 
   
   
   
  In the nineteenth century, residents of Marblehead, Massachusetts, reported malicious pixies leading them in circles at dusk. In Aroostook County, Maine, elves called lutins exasperated farmers with their mischievous tricks and games. In Uncasville, Connecticut, beguiling creatures emerged for centuries at twilight to collect corn-filled baskets from members of the Mohegan Tribe. And in Harrisville, Rhode Island, a vision of fearful banshees augured death to an Irish seer. 
   
   
   
  From the ancient tales of Algonquian elders to the fireside stories of European immigrants, Andrew Warburton scours New England folklore to uncover the secrets of the region's Fair Folk and the storytellers who've encountered them through the years.

  A Rational Guide to a Good Life...

  In a world of infinite options, why do so many of us feel stuck, scattered, and quietly dissatisfied? We have more choices than any generation in history, yet this abundance often leads to paralysis and a persistent feeling that we're not living the 'right' life. If you're a professional navigating the pressures of a complex world, you know this feeling well: a life that looks good on paper but lacks a deeper sense of purpose. This is not a personal failing; it is the predictable result of a noisy world that offers endless paths but no clear map.
  'A Rational Guide to a Good Life' offers a powerful antidote to modern confusion. It moves beyond the fleeting and often misleading pursuit of 'happiness' to provide a durable framework for building a life of coherence and meaning. Drawing on practical philosophy and modern psychology, this book argues that mental clarity comes not from having the perfect life, but from having clear criteria to make decisions. It provides a step-by-step system for cutting through the noise, defining what truly matters to you, and aligning your daily actions with your core values.
  Inside, you will discover actionable strategies to master your decision-making, escape the trap of constant comparison, and embrace a more focused, intentional living. Learn to identify the hidden costs of your choices, build your life around fewer but better things, and cultivate the discipline that leads to genuine self-respect and emotional stability. This is not another book of vague platitudes; it is a clear-eyed, logical guide to help you stop chasing everything and start building a life that makes sense.
  If you are ready to trade confusion for confidence and build a stable foundation for well-being, this book is your essential guide. It's time to find your focus, define your purpose, and construct a life that is not just successful by external standards, but is deeply and personally meaningful.
