From one of the truly preeminent historians of our time, this is a landmark book chronicling the French Revolution. Simon Schama deftly refutes the contemporary notion that the French Revolution represented an uprising of the oppressed poor against a decadent aristocracy and corrupt court. He argues instead that the revolution was born of a rift among the elite over the speed of progress toward modernity and science, social and economic change.

Mysticism is about existential ecstasy—an experience of heightening one's senses and self into a sheer feeling of aliveness. Mystical experiences offer us a practical way to open our thoughts and deepen the sense of our lives, whether through a mainstream connection to God or by taking part in mind-altering experiences. Here, Simon Critchley explores the history and practice of mysticism, from its origins in Eastern and Western religion, through its association with esoteric and occult knowledge, and up to the ecstatic modernism of T.S. Eliot and others.

Audio Snaps is a series of 100 minute audiobooks packed with fun stories from my books about my life in the music business. Volume One features stories from "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me", a book I wrote in 1983 about my time in London in the Sixties when, amongst other things, I was managing the Yardbirds and wrote the lyrics to the song, "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me".

Audio Snaps is a series of 100-minute audio books, each featuring a dozen or so stories from each of my five books. Black Vinyl White Powder is a bit different from the other books in that it was written as a continuous narrative moving through story after story.

Tomi is a boy when his father, a hunter, leaves their village, entrusting him with their home's protection. In a land ravaged by war, Tomi bears responsibilities far beyond his years. As the Three Prince War looms, he's thrust into a world of brutal choices and deadly encounters, where his innocence is lost to bloodshed and treachery. From defending his family to surviving in the wild, Tomi learns life's harshest realities.

Haunted by the loss of his father's book—his legacy—Tomi embarks on a relentless mission to retrieve it. His journey weaves through dark forests and treacherous cities, where allies and enemies blur together. From the brutal hunters of Elkswood to the deadly bandits that roam the countryside, each step pulls him further from the life he once knew and deeper into the kingdom's shifting dangers.

Karn was just a boy when dark forces tore his home apart, leaving him orphaned and burning for vengeance. Taken in by an unlikely mentor, he finds himself thrust into The Forge—a brutal training ground where the Witch Queen molds her deadliest warriors. Strength is survival, and every lesson is paid for in blood.

After a desperate warning draws him into the ranks of the Forsworn, a band of exiles fighting for survival in a war-torn land, Tomi finds himself caught in a brutal struggle against Cedric's relentless forces. His skills as a hunter and his instincts become essential as he navigates the treacherous wilderness, the chaos of battle, and the whispers of ancient spirits that guide and challenge him.

Simon Sinek's iconic global bestseller has sold more than three million copies by asking a simple fundamental question: Why are some people and organisations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? The answer to why is another why. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with a WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into an idea, a movement, a product or a service until they understand the WHY behind it.

In the poet's home county of West Yorkshire a few years ago, the Local Authority began converting a series of cow fields at the top of the road into a new cemetery. These poems, in regular, cascading tercets, sparked into being as Simon daily walked the site, with moorlands rising beyond it and the wind turbines of Brontë country to the north, watching the land tamed: eventually the muddy construction scene gives way to fresh headstones and mown lawns, and, during the Covid-19 lockdown, the spectacle of grave-diggers in Hazmat suits and socially distanced funeral services.

Money is a powerful influence in our lives, but as Christians, we must view it through the lens of God’s Word. The Bible offers timeless wisdom on money’s nature, purpose, and role in a believer’s life. Is money good, evil, or neutral? How should Christians earn, spend, and give?

I august 1944 ankommer den ungarske jøde og patolog Samuel Schumann til en lejr med sin lille dreng.
