  How did medieval Africa impact the direction of the Middle Ages internationally? 
  When most people think about the Middle Ages, they think about Europe. Images of knights, jousting, and even Christianity seem ingrained in our understanding of the medieval era. However, the Middle Ages stretched far beyond Europe, which was struggling to rebuild after the fall of the Roman Empire. Europe may have fumbled along for about a thousand years, but Africa became a powerhouse of trade and wealth. 
  For years, many scholars have ignored medieval Africa. There aren’t many written documents from the African kingdoms, so historians rely on outside sources and archeology. Many people don’t realize Africa was brimming with innovation during this time or that it was connected to the outside world. Although historians don’t know everything about this period of African history, medieval Africa has not been lost to time. We still have so much to learn about this era and how it changed the world. 
  It’s time to set out on a journey to discover the empires and people who made medieval Africa so influential. In this new and captivating audiobook, you’ll learn how medieval Africa held its power and changed the world, impacting us today. 
  Here are some of the questions you will discover within this audiobook:Was Mansa Musa I really the wealthiest person in world history?Why wasn’t the Ghana Empire close to modern Ghana?How did Islam come to Africa?Are any of the medieval empires still here today?How did the African kingdoms react to the slave trade?Why were the Portuguese important to the Benin Empire?How did Timbuktu become a center for trade and learning?Why did the Kingdom of Abyssinia adopt Christianity instead of Islam?

  Brian Boru, one of medieval Ireland’s most celebrated figures, was an Irish king who played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s history. He is best known for ending the centuries-long dominance of the Uí Néill over the High Kingship of Ireland and resisting the Viking invasions that had threatened Irish sovereignty. Brian’s rise to power built upon the efforts of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and his older brother, Mathgamain mac Cennétig, solidifying his place as one of Ireland’s most effective and unifying leaders.  
  Brian’s initial ascent began as the King of Munster. From there, he expanded his influence, conquering Leinster and ultimately claiming the title of High King of Ireland. His legacy includes founding the O’Brien dynasty, which played a significant role in Irish history long after his death. During his time, Ireland’s population was fewer than 500,000, yet it was fragmented into more than 150 small kingdoms. Brian’s ability to unify such a fractured land set him apart as a leader.

  The Norse Eddas - The Ancient...

  The Norse Eddas are among the most significant collections of ancient texts in Norse mythology, preserving the beliefs, legends, and wisdom of the Viking Age. These texts, passed down through oral tradition before being written down, provide a glimpse into the cosmology, gods, heroes, and prophecies that shaped the worldview of the Norse people. At the heart of these works are the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, two distinct but complementary sources that serve as the foundation of our understanding of Norse mythology. While the Poetic Edda consists of mythological and heroic poems that likely originated in pre-Christian Scandinavia, the Prose Edda, written by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, provides an organized narrative and interpretation of these myths.  
    
  Norse mythology is unique among the world’s great mythological traditions, offering a vision of a cosmos that is both grand and tragic. The stories contained in the Eddas depict a universe governed by fate, where even the gods themselves are not immune to doom. Central to these myths is the idea of cyclical destruction and rebirth, embodied in the prophecy of Ragnarok—the apocalyptic battle that will end the reign of the gods and bring forth a new world. Unlike the immortals of other mythologies, the Norse gods are flawed, mortal beings who struggle against inevitable destruction, making their tales both heroic and deeply human.  
    
  Beyond their mythological significance, the Eddas also reflect the values, traditions, and daily life of the Norse people. Honor, loyalty, and wisdom are recurring themes, guiding both gods and mortals in their choices and destinies.

  The Road

  A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 
  ‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph 
  ‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The Times 
  Have you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road?  
  For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look. 
  In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today. 
  Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil. 
  Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets. 
  In his latest work, The Road, Christopher Hadley delves into the historical and social aspects of Roman roads, enriching them with elements of mythology and folklore. His unique approach to historiography breathes new life into our understanding of past civilizations and their impact on our current geography. 
  For fans of Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Robert Macfarlane (Mountains of the Mind), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Andrew Ziminski (Church Going), and Eleanor Parker (Winters in the World).
