Summary

"Royal Archives" explores the intricate world of royal governance and political history through meticulously preserved historical records. It reveals how royal decrees, diplomatic correspondences, and administrative ledgers offer a unique window into the decision-making processes that shaped civilizations. Intriguingly, the survival of nations often depended on the penmanship of a single scribe, highlighting the immense power wielded through documentation.

 
The book argues that understanding past governance is crucial for navigating today's complex political systems, offering critical perspectives on leadership and policy-making.

 
The book progresses by first examining record-keeping origins in ancient civilizations. It then dissects diplomacy through treaties and alliances, using case studies like the Congress of Vienna. Later sections delve into internal administration, covering economic policies and legal codes.

 
The book uniquely bridges history and political science, employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis. This approach allows readers to draw meaningful conclusions about the cyclical nature of political power and its lasting impact.

    In The 1930s, Irish schoolchildren were tasked with asking their oldest relatives and neighbours about stories and superstitions from times past so that ordinary people's lives could be preserved and celebrated. What those schoolchildren wrote in their copybooks resulted in the National Folklore Archive's Schools' Collection, and this book contains a selection of its best stories. With chapters on ghost stories, agriculture, forgotten trades, schooling and pastimes, this is a people's history of Ireland.
There are incredible stories of self-sufficiency from an era when everything on the table was homemade. Discover how people survived on flour, milk and potatoes, and how fabric, dye, soap and candles were made by hand. There are delightful memories of childhoods spent outdoors, gathering nuts and berries, playing Tig and fishing; while stories of folk remedies reveal how wellbeing in Ireland had long been a heady potion of miraculous medals, doctors, healers, holy wells and pilgrimages.
With each chapter introduced and contextualised in John Creedon's inimitable voice, this beautiful treasury of tales is a stunning tribute to ordinary Irish people and how they lived long ago.

    Was the first empire really started by an abandoned orphan who rose to greatness? 
Was there an empire older and more important than mighty Egypt? There were a few, but the Akkadian Empire, born out of the cradle of civilization, is thought to be the first. And it was a game-changer. Its creation inspired conquerors and other empire-builders throughout history and spawned two world powers. Its epics, legends, and beliefs influence religions and cultures even today—and make for some darn good listening. 
Known mostly through clay tablets and stelae, the truth about the Akkadian Empire has intrigued and at times eluded scholars and historians. Victory reliefs made grandiose claims, and propaganda was rampant. Legendary poems countered cautionary tales about arrogance and oppression. We will discuss the men who ruled the empire and the legends that define what we know about them. 
Some of the treasures you’ll discover about the Akkadian Empire includes:Why the Sumerians were an important part of the empireThe grand wealth and cruelty that accompanied Queen Puabi to her graveHow the first empire-builder the world has ever known rose up from mysterious and legendary originsWhat made Sargon so great?How an empire made up of city-states wanting independence was constantly on the verge of breaking apartThe epic adventures of Gilgamesh—how he slew a forest monster and the tragic consequences for earning the wrath of the godsHow did Naram-sin achieve god-like status?
