Summary

"Rolling Wheels" explores the fascinating history and mechanics of the wheel, a seemingly simple invention that has profoundly shaped civilization. The book delves into how wheels revolutionized transportation, from the earliest carts to modern automobiles and trains, highlighting their role as crucial labor-saving devices. It examines the mechanical principles that allow wheels to efficiently reduce friction and enable motion, illustrating how applied physics has driven innovation for millennia. The book uniquely integrates historical context with mechanical analysis, presenting the wheel not just as a machine, but as a cultural artifact. It begins by introducing the basic mechanics involved, then progresses through specific applications, such as bicycles, cars, and trains, examining the engineering principles behind each. "Rolling Wheels" also explores how the development of wheels intersects with advancements in materials science and has influenced trade routes and cultural exchange. The book argues that the wheel is a cornerstone of technological progress, adapted and refined to meet evolving human needs. By using case studies and historical records, the book demonstrates the wheel's versatility and lasting impact, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in mechanical engineering and history.

Fitzgerald is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. In this recording, Fitgerald reads from Shakespeare's Othello, John Keats' Ode to a Nightingale, and John Masefield's On Growing Old.

    An heir to a fortune…a downward spiral… 
Danny took me to his dorm to play a new video game. An enchanted village in the forest…a world populated with elven femboys. I didn’t like it, but I couldn’t look away. 
Weird things started happening after that. We’re both changing. He’s becoming aggressive. I’m growing docile. 
I’ve had to ask my dad for more money. I told him it’s for tutoring sessions…and that’s not a lie. Danny is teaching me so much. His lessons are precious. 
He told me to do something terrible. Everyone’s watching. They’re shouting. They’re angry. 
But it doesn’t matter. I’ll obey. I’ll do anything to please my tutor.

    Offers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination. Where some education books focus on how individual teachers might sequence and deliver pieces of information in the clearest, most helpful and supportive way, engaging as many learners as possible, this one is different. This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom – activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14–18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.

    Queen Victoria’s 1890 throne speech reads like a state of the union address. In it, she discusses the foreign affairs with Portugal, the United States, and Australia, and introduces her proposal for improving relations with Ireland by helping them establish a form of self-government. Progress is being made in abolishing the slave-trade worldwide, she says, and the Crown has a plan for lowering government spending. This speech provides a fascinating look into British politics in the Victorian Era.

    The Oak and the Larch - A Forest...

    Russia's forests account for nearly one-fifth of the world's wooded lands. The Oak and the Larch is the first-ever English-language exploration of this vast expanse—a dazzling environmental history of Russia that offers an urgent new understanding of the nature of Russian power, and of Russia's ideas of itself. 
Award-winning scholar Sophie Pinkham's magisterial account spans centuries, revealing how forests have nourished ancient Siberian indigenous societies, defended medieval Slavic settlements from Mongol invasion, and served as both an essential natural resource and a potent cultural symbol for Russia in all its incarnations. By examining the country from the forest's perspective, Pinkham pushes far beyond the contemporary political environment in Russia. She draws on literature, history, and art to connect the expanse of the Russian wilderness and the nature of Russian culture, with indelible portraits of the diverse figures who have inhabited and celebrated these forests. She confronts the forest's role in Russia's long history of imperial conquest, and in resistance to this conquest. 
The Oak and the Larch offers a vision of Russia rarely seen in the west, as a land defined by its wilderness, shaped by its encounters with the frontier, and—much like our own—ultimately beholden to nature's whim.
