  Hallo - I'm Mark Wood. As an England and Durham cricketer who was born, raised and refined in Ashington, Northumberland, my life has been quite unique.  
  Over the course of my career so far, I've won an Ashes and a World Cup in an international career that at the time of writing is going on seven years and counting. Being a fast bowler like myself is up there with the toughest of all sporting pursuits, like being Tyson Fury's punchbag or working behind the bar during the darts at Ally Pally. Being a cricketer? There's nothing like it. And doing it for England? Well, I'm lucky to call it a profession. There's been a lot of hard work along the way. Plenty of sacrifices and pain to accompany the good times that make them all worthwhile. I've been everywhere, from Barbados to Brisbane, Chester-le-Street to Chennai, waiting rooms to operating tables. I've played in some of the most exotic locations in the world and eaten margherita pizzas in every single one of them. To be honest, it's amazing I've waited this long to bring out my own self-help book.

  The Roman Emperor Aurelian -...

  Aurelian saved the Roman Empire from foreign invasion and collapse, earning him the title Restorer of the World from a grateful Senate. This is his story as restorer of the world. 
   
   
   
  The ancient Sibylline prophecies had foretold that the Roman Empire would last for 1000 years. As the time for the expected dissolution approached in the middle of the third century AD, the empire was lapsing into chaos, with seemingly interminable civil wars over the imperial succession. The western empire had seceded under a rebel emperor and the eastern empire was controlled by another usurper. Barbarians took advantage of the anarchy to kill and plunder all over the provinces. Yet within the space of just five years, the general, later emperor Aurelian had expelled all the barbarians from with the Roman frontiers, reunited the entire empire and inaugurated major reforms of the currency, pagan religion, and civil administration. 
   
   
   
  His accomplishments have been hailed by classical scholars as those of a superman, yet Aurelian himself remains little known to a wider audience. His achievements enabled the Roman Empire to survive for another two centuries, ensuring a lasting legacy of Roman civilization for the successor European states. Without Aurelian, the Dark Ages would probably have lasted centuries longer. This is a new, revised edition.

  Top 5 Most Notorious Mad...

  Throughout history, science has been a beacon of progress, propelling humanity toward a future once thought impossible. However, as much as scientific achievement has illuminated the path forward, it has also cast a shadow—one where the pursuit of knowledge and power has led to some of the most disturbing and infamous endeavors. The "mad scientist" archetype has captivated popular imagination for centuries, blending genius with madness in a way that explores the fine line between brilliance and obsession. While these figures may seem extreme, the complexities of their lives and work reflect deeper questions about the nature of discovery, ethics, and human ambition. 
    
  The concept of the mad scientist is not merely the product of fictional tales; it stems from the real stories of individuals whose obsessions with pushing scientific boundaries led them down dark, often dangerous paths. These figures were driven by an unyielding desire to unravel the mysteries of nature, sometimes at the cost of human life, moral integrity, and societal norms. They exemplify how the quest for knowledge, unmoored from ethical considerations, can easily slip into unethical practices. The line between innovation and madness is often blurred when the desire for progress supersedes compassion, respect, and accountability. 
    
  This book examines five of the most notorious individuals whose scientific endeavors left indelible marks on history, not for their contributions to the betterment of mankind, but for their reckless or ethically questionable experiments. These men, although different in time, place, and method, shared an obsession with achieving greatness—regardless of the personal or moral cost. Their stories reveal the dual-edged sword of scientific curiosity, showing that what is hailed as genius in one moment can be viewed as madness in another.
