Beschreibung

16-year-old Fola Oduwole is scared. She's scared of disappointing her parents, she's scared of not being able to follow her dreams, but most of all she's scared for her brother. He has cancer and his surgery's coming up soon, it could leave him paralysed, or worse. Fola deserves a break, and she gets her wish when she takes the Victoria line one stop too far and is transported to Folkshore, a magical, hidden part of London.

Now she's scared of the talking animals, the mythical Shriekers and not being there when her brother wakes up. Fola wants to go back, but a thunderstorm destroys Folkshore station. As she looks for another way out, Fola stumbles on the local Assembly's nefarious plans. She realises that the only way back to her brother is to help her new friends as they resist the pugnacious police pigs and the authoritarian assembly.

If she fails, the community she's come to love could be destroyed forever and she may never find her way home.

    The Anglo-Saxons at War - 800-1066

    In this compelling new study, Paull Hill reveals what documentary records and the growing body of archaeological evidence can tell us about war and combat in the age of the great Anglo-Saxon kings. The violent centuries before the Norman Conquest come to life in this detailed account of how and why the Anglo-Saxons fought, how their warriors were armed and trained, how their armies were organized, and much more. 
     
     
     
    The role of combat in Anglo-Saxon society is explored, from the parts played by the king and the noblemen to the means by which the men of the fyrd were summoned to fight in times of danger. Land and naval warfare are both explored in depth. Hill also covers the politics and diplomacy of warfare, the conduct of negotiations, the taking of hostages, the use of treachery, and the controversial subject of the use of cavalry. 
     
     
     
    The weapons and armor of the Anglo-Saxons are described, including the spears, scramsaxes, axes, bows, swords, helmets, shields, and mail that were employed in the close-quarter fighting of the day. Drawing on this wealth of information, Hill presents a vivid recreation of the actual experience of fighting in the campaigns against the Danes; the battles of Ashdown, Maldon and Stamford Bridge; and the sieges at Reading and Rochester.

    The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity - Read by the amazing Owen Hunt @bootsygreenwood Now in Audio, on Audible and everywhere else! 
    Of all of his works, The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity is the one that Steiner himself believed would have the longest life, and the greatest spiritual and cultural consequences. It was written as a phenomenological account of the results of observing the human soul, according to the methods of natural science. 
    This seminal work asserts that free spiritual activity (understood as the human ability to think and act independently of physical nature) is the suitable path for human beings today, to gain true knowledge of themselves and of the universe. This is not merely a philosophical volume, but rather a warm, heart-oriented guide to the practice and experience of living thinking. 
    Listeners will not find abstract philosophy here, but a step-by-step account of how a person may come to experience living, intuitive thinking - "the conscious experience of a purely spiritual content".

    The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART ONE takes you on an unforgettable journey through one of China's most transformative eras. Once fractured by war, the Han Empire finds hope in Liu Xiu—a noble who rises through chaos to become Emperor Guangwu of Han. But claiming the throne is only the beginning. To rebuild an empire torn apart, he must outmaneuver rivals, crush rebellions, and restore order. 
    From the fall of the Chimei Army to the eruption of the Three Rebellions, Liu Xiu's reign is marked by endless trials. Allies become threats, and loyalty is tested—especially for Wei Xiao, a trusted officer with dangerous ambitions. Meanwhile, the empire expands into Longyou and sets its sights on resource-rich Shu, where political intrigue runs deep. 
    Military legends like General Ma Yuan rise, shaping China's future with brilliant campaigns. As peace returns, loyal ministers help rebuild the government. But power shifts within the court, and when the crown prince unexpectedly steps down, the influential Yin Family begins to dominate the throne's inner circle. 
    A new era begins with Emperor Ming, who faces his own battles—reforms, alliances, and unrest. Yet Han is no longer limited by borders. Ban Chao’s bold expeditions to the Western Regions spark a wave of imperial ambition, paving the way for the rise of a new conqueror who will take Han’s influence farther than ever before. 
    This is not just a chronicle of events—it's a sweeping epic of ambition, war, strategy, and legacy. If you’re drawn to tales of empire-building, battlefield brilliance, and court intrigue, The Eastern Han Dynasty: Part One is a journey you won’t want to miss.
