Sinossi

In "History of the Anglo-Saxons, from the Earliest Period to the Norman Conquest," Thomas Miller meticulously chronicles the formation and evolution of the Anglo-Saxon people, spanning from their migration to Britain through to the seismic cultural shifts wrought by the Norman Conquest. Employing a narrative style that blends vivid storytelling with rigorous historical analysis, Miller crafts a comprehensive portrayal of the socio-political dynamics, cultural practices, and influential figures of this formative period. His work is set against the backdrop of 19th-century scholarship, bridging classical historical methodology with emerging archaeological insights, thus positioning the Anglo-Saxon era within the broader context of English history. Thomas Miller, a prominent historian of his time, dedicated his career to unveiling the complexities of early English history, influenced by the rise of national identity in Victorian England. His immersive approach to history reflects a passionate commitment to understanding the past not merely as a series of events, but as a rich tapestry of human experience. Miller'Äôs in-depth research and attention to detail are evident in his use of primary sources and contemporary debates, which serve to illuminate the lives of the Anglo-Saxons. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone eager to understand the foundations of English civilization. Scholars, students, and history enthusiasts will find in Miller's work a wellspring of knowledge that not only provides a thorough historical narrative but also invites readers to contemplate the enduring legacy of the Anglo-Saxon period in shaping modern Britain.

Fervent Freedom Fighters -...

Daniel Cosculluela

This anthology brings to light the richness of the pamphleteer tradition in France, between the 16th and 20th centuries. Though satirists and pamphleteers have emerged out of various political backgrounds down through the centuries, what they have in common is irreverence, courage and insubordination to all forms of power. Among them: Blanqui, Bloy, Desmoulins, Libertad, Proudhon, Rivarol, Séverine Vallès and Zo d'Axa.
At a time when freedom of expression is increasingly questioned, Daniel Cosculluela wanted to resurrect the fighting spirit of those who acted and wrote, often at the risk of their lives. Many of these fighters for freedom of speech and thought had to flee their countries to avoid prison or assassination. 
The author wanted to engage in a dialogue with those who live on through our thoughts, dreams and revolts. His choices are personal, but the writers selected have all played a major role in the movement of ideas which inspire, consciously or not, the commitment and the choises of millions of men and women today.

Love That Story - Observations...

Jonathan Van Ness

The Emmy-nominated host of Netflix’s Queer Eye follows up his New York Times-bestselling memoir, Over The Top, with this collection of thought-provoking essays on grief and healing, cannabis reform, LGBTQIA+ rights, imposter syndrome, personal style, the HIV safety net, and of, course, how to make your hairdresser love you. 
In his New York Times-bestselling memoir Over the Top, Jonathan van Ness showed readers how the incredibly difficult moments from his life (surviving sexual abuse and addiction, being diagnosed with HIV) have existed alongside great joy and positivity (landing a breakout role on Netflix’s Queer Eye, becoming an amateur figure skater and professional standup comedian, doting on his five cats). 
If Jonathan learned anything from the painful life experiences, it’s that in order to thrive, he needed to push past the shame and fear of being his true self, which meant getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. In this candid and curious essay collection, he takes a thoughtful, in-depth look at today’s hot-button issues, viewed through the lens of his personal experience. From the evolution of his signature style to an investigative report on the queer history of his hometown, Jonathan reflects on his life and how he has learned to embrace change—doing the work to challenge internalized beliefs, finding compassion and confidence, and learning more about what makes us all so messy and gorgeous. 
Balancing the dark and the light, the serious and the madcap, these essays allow us to examine our individual assumptions, expand our horizons, and give ourselves permission to be the flawed and fabulous humans we are.

A Rare Recording of Sir Ernest...

Sir Ernest Shackleton

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874 - 1922) was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic. 
During the second expedition, from 1907 to 1909, he and three companions established a new record for the “farthest South latitude,” which was 97 miles from the South Pole and the closest in pole exploration history. Members of his team also climbed Mount Erebus, the most active volcano on Antarctica. For these achievements, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home. 
A few years later, his ship - The Endurance - became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed. The crew escaped by camping on the sea ice, then launching their lifeboats to reach the inhabited island of South Georgia, a stormy ocean voyage of 720 nautical miles. It became Shackleton's most famous exploit.
