Sinopsis

Paul Murton has spent half-a lifetime exploring some of the most beautiful islands in the world – the Hebrides. He has travelled the length and breadth of the Scotland's rugged, six-thousand-mile coast line, and sailed to over eighty islands.
In this new and updated edition of his acclaimed book, Paul visits each of the Hebridean islands in turn, introducing their myths and legends, history, culture and extraordinary natural beauty.
In addition he also meets the people who live there and learns their story. He has met crofters, fishermen, tweed weavers, Gaelic singers, clan chiefs, artists, postmen and bus drivers – people from every walk of life who make the islands tick. This blend of the contemporary and the traditional creates a vivid account of the Hebrides and serves as unique guide to the less well known aspects of life among the islands.

    What kind of country is England today? 
    What does it mean to be English? 
    Are we hungry for change or seeking old certainties? 
    Join Stuart Maconie on an enlightening, entertaining journey through England, from Bristol's Banksy to Durham's beaches, from Cotswolds corduroy to Stoke's oatcakes. 
    As his guide, Maconie walks in the footsteps of J.B. Priestley's classic travelogue, English Journey, to explore our national identity and how it has evolved over the last century. On his way, Stuart takes inspiration from the people he meets at bus stops and train stations, cafes and corner shops. 
    Travelling the length of the land, Maconie explores the differences between city and town, north and south, and examines our past and present with affection and insight. Whether he’s passing the boutique hotels of Manchester, the moors of Ilkley or the grand houses of Tynemouth, looking out over misty fens or urban skylines, he shines a light on the people who make these places and asks what the future holds for them. Along the way, he uncovers local heroes and secret histories over early breakfasts and last orders. 
    Through his journey, he lets us see our homes and habits, hopes and eccentricities with fresh eyes. The Full English challenges us to embrace the messy, shifting and diverse nature of England, and to ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be. 
    In this bestseller, Maconie offers a literary exploration of Britain, blending travelogues and essays to create a humorous and insightful non-fiction piece. This Sunday Times bestselling book delves into the history and social interests of Europe, making it a special read. 
    For fans of Tim Hannigan (The Granite Kingdom), Helen Rebanks (The Farmer's Wife), Michael Palin (Erebus), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), and Alan Bennett (Keeping On Keeping On).

    Moche Civilization - Warriors...

    The Moche civilization emerged along the northern coast of present-day Peru, flourishing between approximately 100 and 750 CE. This society developed in a region marked by arid deserts, fertile river valleys, and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, which shaped its economy, culture, and political structure. The Moche were not a singular unified state but rather a collection of regional polities connected through shared traditions, artistic styles, and religious beliefs. Their rise was influenced by earlier Andean cultures, particularly the Cupisnique and Chavín, which had already laid the foundations for complex societies in the region. 
    The origins of the Moche civilization can be traced to the early centuries of the Common Era when small communities along the coast began to expand due to agricultural advancements and increasing social stratification. The region's rivers, fed by Andean runoff, allowed for irrigation-based farming that supported large populations. Over time, leaders emerged who controlled land, labor, and water resources, leading to the development of hierarchical societies. These early rulers likely solidified their power through religious authority, military strength, and their ability to organize large-scale construction projects. 
    One of the defining aspects of Moche civilization was its adaptation to the harsh environment. The coastal deserts of northern Peru posed challenges for sustaining large populations, yet the Moche mastered irrigation technology, channeling river water to expand arable land. This agricultural innovation provided surplus food, which in turn fueled urban growth, specialization of labor, and the rise of elite classes. Moche settlements grew into centers of political and religious activity, with monumental architecture such as pyramids and temples becoming focal points of their cities.

    A fully immersive audiobook featuring original music and sound effects, “You and Me” is a laugh-out-loud compilation of travel stories written and narrated by husband and wife creatives, Michael S. Ryan and Kristen Herrington. From the textured rainforest of Costa Rica to the streets of Bangkok, this book is about the journey of falling in love, at times beautifully evocative and at others wildly amusing. The authors give tips for wary travellers, and show quite definitely how wandering down the street following your nose is better than following the guidebook every time. Ryan and Herrington are true adventurers unafraid of diving right into the spontaneity of the moment. They don their back packs to hike a volcano in flip-flops, sprint through airports, encounter foreign drug dealers and take you places you’ve never imagined. This book is a perfect fit for readers who want to learn the art of people-watching and get out of resorts and into the busy marketplace. It is a gem for anyone planning their first trip overseas or simply wanting to escape into the myriad of destinations without leaving their armchair.

    Dear readers, 
    We write to you with an urgent call to immerse yourself in the pages of "Silenced Voices: Testimonies of Life in Palestine." This book is much more than a set of stories; It is a bridge connecting distant realities and a window to the profound experiences of life in Palestine, a place where voices have historically been silenced. 
    Each page of this book offers a unique opportunity to understand the complexity of Palestinian history, from roots and identity to resilience, childhood, women, memories of the land, and reflections toward the future. It is an invitation to look beyond conventional narratives, to listen to individual voices that have been eclipsed by the noise of conflict and geopolitical tensions. 
    By reading "Silenced Voices," you will help challenge stigmas and prejudices, humanize the experiences of those who have faced unimaginable challenges, and build bridges of understanding. This book is a call to action, a reminder of the importance of empathy and solidarity in building a more just world. 
    We encourage you to share this call to action with friends, family, and communities. Invite them to join this journey of knowledge and understanding, so that together we can amplify these silenced voices and contribute to a more informed dialogue about the reality in Palestine. 
    Let us not allow these voices to remain silent. Let's make "Silenced Voices" a catalyst for change, a tool for education and an inspiration for action. Reading this book will not only enrich your perspective, but will also be an act of solidarity with those whose stories deserve to be heard.
