  An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home. 
  Brian Groom, author of the bestselling Northerners, reveals a colourful and often-contested story of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions. 
  Groom explores the role of religion and the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in this entertaining narrative. 
  With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, These Isles stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a Norfolk beach to the changing fortunes of the early 21st century. It offers a uniquely rich and kaleidoscopic vision of the shared stories of people across Britain and Ireland – past and present. 
  For fans of Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), Jo Woolf (The Great Horizon), Simon Jenkins (The Celts), and Andy Burnham (Head North).

  Aksumite Empire - Ethiopia's...

  The Aksumite Empire was one of the most significant and influential civilizations of ancient Africa. Emerging around the first century AD, it became a powerful and sophisticated state that played a crucial role in connecting diverse cultures and trade networks across continents. Its strategic location, bridging the Red Sea and the interior of the African continent, allowed Aksum to flourish as both a political and economic hub, facilitating exchanges between the Mediterranean world, the Arabian Peninsula, and beyond. 
  At the heart of Aksum’s success was its remarkable ability to integrate various cultural and economic influences. The empire was not only a center for commerce but also a melting pot of traditions, languages, and beliefs. This rich cultural mosaic is reflected in its unique art, architecture, and inscriptions, which have provided modern scholars with invaluable insights into the life and achievements of this ancient society. The monuments and stelae scattered across the landscape serve as enduring testaments to the empire's power and its sophisticated understanding of both artistry and engineering. 
  The rise of Aksum was deeply intertwined with the development of its political structures and the establishment of a centralized administration. Early rulers of the empire forged alliances through both diplomacy and military might, thereby securing their territories against external threats and internal discord. As the state grew in power, it adopted innovative approaches to governance that balanced traditional practices with the demands of a rapidly expanding empire. These innovations laid the groundwork for what would later be recognized as the first Christian kingdom in Africa.

  An engaging work of cultural history that reveals the stories behind one of the world's most coveted and beloved ceramic. 
   
  When over seventy-five pieces of rare and intriguing seventeenth and eighteenth century Delftware are rediscovered in an historic Manhattan townhouse, decorative art advisor and writer Genevieve Wheeler Brown quickly recognizes that, together, these pieces tell an amazing story. What begins as a curatorial exercise quickly evolves not only into an exploration of this colorful, expressive, and sometimes even humorous decorative art, coveted for hundreds of years, but also an unexpected uncovering of forceful female lives yet untold.Connecting the accounts of women across centuries, Beyond Blue and White allows us to craft a more complete picture of female experience through the lens of material culture. Beyond Blue and White is a colorful celebration of an iconic decorative art and dynamic women living in extraordinary times. Wheeler-Brown's rich narrative encourages us to see beyond the dazzling cobalt glaze of Delftware to consider that these vessels are also our connection to a history with a fascinating group of women at its center.
