Summary

Lancaster York Struggle examines the Wars of the Roses, arguing it was more than just noble infighting but a crisis exposing weaknesses in the English monarchy and succession laws. This tumultuous period reshaped the English political landscape, ultimately paving the way for the Tudor dynasty. One key insight is how the weakness of Henry VI created a power vacuum, leading to decades of unrest. The conflict's impact extended beyond battles, significantly affecting English society and governance. The book explores the contested claims to the throne and the roles of powerful families within the context of Medieval English History. Beginning with the origins of the conflict in the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, it progresses through major battles like the Battle of Bosworth Field, then concludes by analyzing the Wars' social and economic consequences, plus the rise of Henry VII. By examining the Wars of the Roses through the lens of political dysfunction, this book offers a fresh perspective on this vital era in English history.

    Society disables us more than autism ever could 
     
    Virginia’s son Danny has a way of lighting up a room. He’s warm, personable and has an infectious laugh. He forms lasting relationships and has known his best friend since they were little. He is also nonverbal and autistic, and requires round-the-clock care and a liquid diet. And for this reason, there are many who would rather not encounter Danny. 
     
    Challenging the view that autism is something that needs to be ‘cured’, Virginia Bovell testifies to the extraordinary care Danny has received for over 30 years and the everyday kindness and decency of the people – ‘the band of angels’ – that surround him. She asks us to consider what makes a thriving individual versus an inadequate one; what it means to be ill versus what it means to not to conform; what roles society values and rewards; and how humans might flourish outside of failing political and economic systems.

    "The Zorg remains a book of great importance and one that will likely become a classic. It takes a respected place within a growing historical literature about the slave ship in generaL…a potent exposé of the ancient clash between humanity and property.”—The New York Times Book Review"[Narrator Dion] Graham's resonant voice is nearly perfect in all aspects. He is easy to follow, enunciates perfectly, and is suitably expressive throughout." — AudioFileFrom Pulitzer finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Cobalt Red: A notorious slave ship incident that led to the abolition of slavery in the UK and sparked the US abolitionist movement. This program is read by Dion Graham, narrator of over 300 audiobooks and an AudioFile Golden Voice. Dion has won multiple Earphones and Audie Awards.In late October 1780, a slave ship set sail from the Netherlands, bound for Africa’s Windward and Gold Coasts, where it would take on its human cargo. The Zorg (a Dutch word meaning “care”) was one of thousands of such ships, but the harrowing events that ensued on its doomed journey were unique.After reaching Africa, the Zorg was captured by a privateer and came under British command. With a new captain and crew, the ship was crammed with 442 slaves and departed in 1781 for Jamaica. But a series of unpredictable weather events and mistakes in navigation left the ship drastically off course and running out of water. So a proposition was put forth: Save the crew and the most valuable of the slaves—by throwing dozens of people, starting with women and children, overboard.What followed was a fascinating legal drama in England’s highest court that turned the brutal calculus of slavery into front-page news. The case of the Zorg catapulted the nascent anti-slavery movement from a minor evangelical cause to one of the most consequential moral campaigns in history—sparking the abolitionist movement in both England and the young United StatesSiddharth Kara utilizes primary-source research, gripping storytelling, and painstaking investigation to uncover the Zorg’s journey, the lives and fates of the slaves on board, and the mysterious identity of the abolitionist who finally revealed the truth of what happened on the ship.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press
