James Hutton made his fortune out of soot. He and a friend worked out how to cook the black residue scraped from Edinburgh's chimneys into a pale crystalline salt that dyers and metalworkers would pay for, and which had until then come by ship from Egypt. It was a good business. It left him free to spend the rest of his life doing what he actually wanted to do, which was to climb into ditches and look at rocks. Everyone agreed the world was about six thousand years old. This was not superstition. It was arithmetic, done carefully, from the only continuous historical document anyone had.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a warning. Back when fear was real and consequences meant pain, Borstal wasn’t a place to learn lessons—it was a place that broke you to see if you could rebuild yourself. Teenagers today think custody is comfort, but they’ve never felt the silence of a locked corridor or the weight of a door that doesn’t open until someone else decides it should. This book tells the truth—the kind that doesn’t soften, doesn’t apologise, and doesn’t care if you flinch. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

Written in 1985, In the shadow of Anzio Annie is a series of episodes that collectively form a story that took place at a villa south of Rome during the Spring of 1944, when a family home was occupied by a German army unit. The soldiers were in command of two enormous railway guns that were kept hidden in a tunnel beneath the house by day, and brought out at night to be fired at Anzio some thirty-eight kilometres away in order the keep the Allied forces pinned down on the beachhead.

A l'égal d'Alexandre, de César ou de Napoléon, Charlemagne fait partie de ces géants de l'histoire qui ont laissé dans la mémoire collective une empreinte indélébile largement constituée de légendes. Pour y remédier, l'auteur, mobilisant toutes les sources disponibles, a entrepris de rendre chair et esprit au souverain carolingien dans les différents aspects de son existence et de son action.

In seinem neuen Buch zeigt der Bestseller-Autor Michael Sommer nicht, wie Rom glänzte, sondern wie und warum es funktionierte – und welchen Preis viele dafür zahlten. Die schmutzige Seite Roms war ganz gewiss kein Betriebsunfall der Antike, sondern die Kehrseite ihrer Größe.

Al volver a la Presidencia en 1884, Porfirio Díaz ya era parte de la historia de México. Había luchado contra la dictadura de Santa Anna; combatió con los liberales en la guerra de Reforma; había vencido a los franceses en Puebla; triunfó contra Maximiliano al frente del Ejército de la República. La revolución de Tuxtepec lo llevó a la Presidencia. Al volver al poder, su prioridad ya no era la democracia y la justicia, como antes, sino la paz y el progreso de la República.

Everyone follows the royals. Almost nobody understands how the monarchy actually works. Why is one grandchild a prince and another just "Master"? How can an eleven-year-old girl outrank her younger brother today when she couldn't have a generation ago? What does the King actually do if he doesn't run the country—and could he refuse to sign a law? Why did losing his titles not remove Andrew from the line of succession?

They called them the rascals in green—the sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued riflemen of the 95th who fired the first shot and the last in almost every scrap of Wellington's long, grinding war against Napoleon. Among them strode young John Kincaid, a subaltern with more dash than sense and a talent for finding the absurdity in mud, blood, and glory. From the fever-haunted marshes of Walcheren to the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz, through the rolling fights of the Peninsula and the final thunderclap at Waterloo, Kincaid lived the life of the Light Division at its fiercest—and its most human.
