Pouco conhecemos da arte e da cultura dos povos nativos das Américas, como incas, maias, astecas, indígenas norte-americanos, inuítes e tribos brasileiras. E, no entanto, muito antes da chegada do homem branco, eles ja habitavam estas terras e expressavam as angustias e alegrias de sua existencia na forma de cantos. Sergio Capparelli, um dos mais destacados autores infanto-juvenis da atualidade, se debruçou sobre essa rica fonte, selecionou, traduziu e retrabalhou 42 cantos de povos nativos. Eduardo Uchoa deu cor e forma a essa valiosa amostra da riqueza poetica de tais civilizaçes, que fazem parte no apenas da nossa historia, mas tambem do nosso legado cultural.

An explosive Cold War thriller, a deadly arms race that threatens to tip the world into conflict. South Africa, Zimbabwe, China and Britain. In the shadow of the Cold War, a deadly secret connects three continents, and time is running out. When a mild-mannered scientist accidentally uncovers a web of international espionage during a routine visit to Beijing, hes thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. His only ally? A magnetic anti-apartheid activist who may have secrets of her own. As they race to expose the truth, a veteran South African intelligence operative moves through the streets of newly-independent Zimbabwe, his mission intertwined with the machinations of a mysterious Chinese power player from Maos inner circle. Meanwhile, a sinister collaboration between apartheid forces and rogue British intelligence agents works in the shadows to keep their nuclear conspiracy buried, at any cost. From the neon lit backstreets of Beijing to the wild, untamed lowveld where Zimbabwe meets South Africa, this explosive thriller weaves together Cold War tensions, political intrigue, and the threat of nuclear devastation. As these disparate threads converge, our unlikely heroes find themselves at the centre of a plot that could reshape the balance of power in the Southern Hemisphere, if they can survive long enough to expose it.

Writers and poets, academics and art critics, mathematicians and experimental scientists, churchmen and politicians, women of strong opinions gather for a summer weekend in the 1870s. Is it real, or is it a fantasy? One things sure: their debates about lifes aims, rural and urban living, love and money, civilization and belief, the social framework, the past, the present and the future take us to the heart of the Victorian dream and its reality: the idea that their society exemplified Progress. What did Progress mean? Were things (and which things) getting better? What did better mean? And for whom? The history of the world before the Victorians, from Aberdeen to Africa, showed a particular form of equality for almost everyone: an equality of poverty and no prospects, with kindness often in short supply. Victorians wanted to change that world, thought they were changing it, did change it. They did it in a human way: a melange of muddle, vision, certainty, doubt, too slow for many, too fast for some. Yet their changes were decisive both for creating the modern world, but also for revealing the dilemmas attached to mass living in urban, technological societies, as well as the moral flaws in imposing one civilizations or one persons beliefs on another. Most remarkably of all, the upheaval in making major transitions in every area of life, which produced revolutions and violence across Europe, in the Americas and in Asia, was carried out at least in Britain itself almost entirely peacefully. The past will always be a foreign country for those unwilling to engage with its people. Whether viewing the lives of rulers or the ruled, Being Victorian corrects innumerable preconceptions.

Septimius Severus was Romes black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Romes might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the Citys Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died.Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.

A wide-ranging memoir of life as a junior/ middle school teacher. The author takes us on a fascinating journey through his career from the naive young probationary teacher of the mid-1980s to the experienced Deputy Head of the early 2020s. He uses his collection of Academic Year diaries to transport us back to a date in October for each year of his career and tells us about what was happening to him and his pupils and fellow teachers on that day. Using this method, he informs us not only about his own career ups and downs, but about the many educational changes that he and his colleagues had to try and implement and deal with. The introduction of the National Curriculum and SATs tests, the emergence of OFSTED, the Literacy Hour, Prevent and teaching through the challenging Covid period are all covered, together with ongoing challenges such as career progression, running the School Council, teaching Sex Education, health and safety, pupil behaviour and curriculum development. Anyone with a background or interest in education will relate to the amusing anecdotes set in the classrooms, staffrooms, assembly halls and playgrounds of the three Hertfordshire schools the author worked in.
