Sinossi

Medieval Farming Methods explores the innovative agricultural practices that sustained societies during the Middle Ages and their enduring impact on global history. The book argues that these methods, though seemingly rudimentary, were remarkably adaptive. For example, the open-field system allowed for communal farming and resource sharing, while crop rotation enhanced soil fertility without synthetic fertilizers. These practices were essential for supporting growing populations and laid the groundwork for future agricultural advancements.

 
The book is structured in three parts, progressing from the evolution of technologies like the heavy plow to the social organization of rural labor, including the roles of serfs and manorial lords. It further examines the environmental consequences of medieval farming, such as deforestation and soil erosion, and how communities adapted. By drawing from historical texts, archaeological findings, and digitized land surveys, the book offers a comprehensive look at medieval agriculture.

 
Understanding these historical farming techniques provides valuable insights into debates surrounding sustainable agriculture and food security today.

The Khmer Rouge Purge

Tom Hout Chow

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Khmer Rouge Purge: A Villager’s Journey Through the Killing Fields of Cambodia 
 
When the Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia, they promised a new society. What they delivered was terror. Families were torn apart, children indoctrinated, and millions of lives destroyed in the name of revolution. 
 
In this powerful memoir, survivor Tom Hout Chow shares the story of life as an ordinary villager caught in one of history’s darkest regimes. Through famine, forced labor, and the silence of the Killing Fields, he reveals the pain of a people stripped of freedom, dignity, and even family bonds. 
 
Yet this is more than a story of loss. It is also a testimony of resilience. Chow shows how determination, faith, and the hunger to learn became lifelines that no tyrant could take away. From the villages of Cambodia to the refugee camps of Thailand, his journey is a reminder that dictators can destroy bodies, but they cannot kill the human spirit. 
 
The Khmer Rouge Purge is at once a historical witness, a personal journey, and a call to remember—so that the world never repeats the mistakes of the past.

Kingdom of Wolves

Juliana Vasiljevic

Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser's and victim's psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.

We Radiant Things - Notes on...

Franny Choi

Read by the author
Blending lyric memoir and cultural criticism, acclaimed poet Franny Choi’s debut essay collection explores our obsession with cyborgs and what sci-fi representations of Asian femmes reveal about race, gender, sexuality, disability, labor, technology, and language.
In the 2014 film Ex-Machina, a Japanese maid named Kyoko—beautiful, obedient, unspeaking—peels back the skin on her face to reveal glimmering circuitry. The white man who has been trying to understand her inscrutable behavior looks on in horror. When Franny Choi first watches this scene, their own face awash in the screen’s eerie glow, they feel a familiar mix of revulsion and self-recognition. Yes, Choi thinks, that’s what I’ve been trying to say.
In this luminous essay collection, Choi descends into the uncanny valley to encounter notable cyborgs and robots from across American culture and asks why so many of them bear the faces of East Asian women. Just why is it that whenever artificial intelligence is represented, a sexy but unfeeling Asian woman enters the frame? What does the literal objectification of Asian femmes say about how the West imagines—and dreads—an increasingly automated future?
Choi draws from their own experiences along with queer, feminist, and critical race theory to answer these questions. Refusing the detached safety of critical distance, they write instead “at stabbing range”—a risky intimacy that collapses the space between human and machine, critic and subject. We Radiant Things draws closer to the images carved out for us, the histories of oppression that animate them, and the future in which we try, painfully, to find ourselves.

The Shed That Fed 2 Million...

Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow

Speaking Volumes Christian Book of the Year 2016
In 1992, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow was enjoying a pint with his brother when he got an idea that would change his life – and radically change the lives of others.
After watching a news bulletin about war-torn Bosnia, the two brothers agreed to take a week’s hiatus from work to help.
What neither of them expected is that what began as a one-time road trip in a beaten-up Landrover rapidly grew to become Magnus’s life’s work – leading him to leave his job, sell his house and direct all his efforts to feeding thousands of the world’s poorest children.
Magnus retells how a series of miraculous circumstances and an overwhelming display of love from those around him led to the creation of Mary’s Meals; an organisation that could hold the key to eradicating child hunger altogether. This humble, heart-warming yet powerful story has never been more relevant in our society of plenty and privilege. It will open your eyes to the extraordinary impact that one person can make.
Previously published as The Shed That Fed a Million Children
Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow's autobiography is not just a personal memoir, but a testament to the power of charity and philanthropy. His journey from a simple idea in a pub to the creation of a top social initiative that feeds millions, is a story that resonates with the best of humanity.
For fans of Bear Grylls (Soul Fuel), Amy Liptrot (The Instant), Sean Bloomfield (My Heart Will Triumph), Elizabeth Sherrill (The Happiest People on Earth), and Dean Nicholson (Nala's World).
