Sinopse

In "The Winning of the West: A History of the American Frontiers," Theodore Roosevelt offers a vivid and compelling narrative chronicling the expansion of American frontier life and its profound impact on the nation's identity. Written in an engaging, almost heroic style, Roosevelt blends a personal perspective with academic rigor, exploring themes of adventure, survival, and the transformative power of the American spirit. This four-volume work bridges the gap between scholarly histories and popular narratives, situating the movement westward within the larger context of Manifest Destiny and nationalism in the 19th century. Theodore Roosevelt, a prominent figure in American politics and a fervent advocate for conservation and the outdoors, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in the West, particularly in South Dakota. His personal affinity for the rugged individualism and frontier spirit shaped his belief in the importance of the American frontier in forging national character and democracy. Roosevelt's background as a naturalist and historian is reflected in his meticulous research and passionate prose, making the text not only informative but also deeply personal. For readers interested in American history, frontier studies, or the evolution of national identity, Roosevelt's "The Winning of the West" is an indispensable work. It provides an eloquent exploration of the struggles and triumphs intrinsic to the American experience, inviting readers to confront the complexities of expansion and the spirit that propelled a nation into vast, uncharted territories.

    Henry David Thoreau’s Walking is a profound meditation on nature, freedom, and self-discovery. Originally published in 1862, this classic essay explores the philosophy of walking as both a physical and spiritual act, emphasizing the importance of immersing oneself in the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world. Thoreau argues that walking is not merely a pastime but a way to achieve a deeper connection with the land, free from societal constraints and distractions. 
    Narrated by Declan McHugh, this audiobook brings Thoreau’s lyrical prose to life, guiding listeners through his reflections on wilderness, solitude, and personal growth. His insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, inspiring modern readers to step away from the noise of civilization and embrace the tranquility of nature. 
    An essential work for lovers of philosophy, nature writing, and transcendentalist thought, Walking is a timeless call to slow down, wander, and rediscover the world beyond paved roads and crowded cities.

    The much anticipated follow-up to the bestseller that exposed the escalation of organised crime in New Zealand. 
      
    Gangster's Paradise is about drugs, guns, gangs and money. Lots of money. 
    A gang which took over a small rural town. A police officer shot and killed in a routine traffic stop. A port-worker who helped a gang whisk a shipping container off a wharf in the middle of the night. A crew of corrupt baggage handlers smuggling meth into the country during Covid lockdowns. A shooting inside a 5-star hotel in broad daylight. Turf wars, retaliation, and retribution: new gangs like the Mongols and Comancheros have brought with them better connections with international syndicates, challenging the established gangs like the Head Hunters - so dominant for many years - who have had to up their game in response.  
    Jared Savage's bestselling book Gangland was about the evolution of gangs in New Zealand. Gangster's Paradise is about the deadly escalation.

    Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the fifth and final emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, ruled the Roman Empire from AD 54 to 68. He was thrust into the highest seat of power at the age of sixteen after being adopted by Emperor Claudius, his stepfather. While Nero enjoyed popularity among the lower classes and the Praetorian Guard, who benefited from his patronage, the Roman aristocracy and Senate viewed him with contempt. Ancient historians portray him as a tyrannical and self-indulgent ruler, notorious for his extravagance, cruelty, and disregard for tradition. His reign ended in disgrace when the Senate declared him a public enemy, leading to his suicide at the age of thirty.  
    Born in AD 37 in the coastal town of Antium, Nero was the son of Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina the Younger, a great-granddaughter of Emperor Augustus. His father died when he was only two years old, and his mother soon remarried, securing a position of influence at the imperial court. When Agrippina married Emperor Claudius, she maneuvered to have her son adopted as his heir, ultimately sidelining Claudius’ biological son, Britannicus. Following Claudius’ suspicious death in AD 54—widely believed to have been orchestrated by Agrippina—Nero ascended the throne with the backing of the Senate and the powerful Praetorian Guard.  
    In the early years of his reign, Nero was heavily influenced by a triad of advisers: his ambitious mother Agrippina, the philosopher and statesman Seneca the Younger, and the Praetorian prefect Sextus Afranius Burrus. Initially, the empire benefited from their guidance, as Nero enacted policies that were generally seen as moderate and pragmatic. However, as he grew older, he sought to rule independently, resenting the influence of his mother.
