This is the story of what could happen next. What If Reform Wins is a chilling and deeply researched scenario that takes us day-by-day, minute-by-minute through a world in which Reform has the opportunity to put their policies into practice, from deporting 600,000 people to leaving the ECHR, abandoning net zero and ending the BBC's license fee. How will people fight back against mass deportations and fracking? And will this self-described 'ill-disciplined pirate ship' survive the rigors of government?

In 410 CE, Roman rule of Britain collapsed, bringing a centuries-long occupation to an end. A century later, Britain was dividing into two areas with contrasting cultures, an expansive "Anglo-Saxon" south and east, and a shrinking Celtic west and north. How did this transition happen? And why did the customs of the Germanic incomers prevail in England, unlike elsewhere in Europe? In this account, Nicholas J. Higham addresses these questions head on. Higham draws on archaeological evidence and contemporary literature, including the writings of Gildas, to reconsider the accepted narrative.

Requisito indispensable para la contemplación, la fantasía, la plegaria y la creación, el silencio es la íntima fuente de la que mana el lenguaje, e impregna nuestros espacios más privados y sagrados, del dormitorio a la catedral.

Josef Mengele, el médico del horror de Auschwitz, murió en libertad. Tras la guerra huyó a Sudamérica y pasó sus últimos 18 años en Brasil, oculto bajo una identidad falsa y protegido por una red de simpatizantes nazis. Con un estilo vibrante y riguroso, Betina Antón reconstruye esta historia real con acceso a archivos secretos de la Mossad, entrevistas a quienes le dieron cobijo y documentos nunca antes publicados. Tras la pista de Mengele es una obra imprescindible para entender los vacíos de justicia en la historia reciente, la persistencia del odio y la fragilidad de la memoria.

In 1909, a thin, pale young man stood on a street corner in Vienna selling painted postcards to tourists. He couldn't hold down a job. He couldn't maintain a friendship. He was sleeping in a homeless shelter and arguing with drifters about politics nobody cared about. Thirty years later, he controlled most of Europe. Sixty million people would die because of his decisions. How does that happen? This isn't another book about the war. It's not about the battles or the tanks or the maps with arrows on them. You can get that anywhere. This is an audiobook about the mind of a madman.

Das England des 16. Jahrhunderts war eine brutale Welt, geprägt von politischen Intrigen, religiösen Kämpfen und grassierenden Seuchen. Und dennoch wurde das elisabethanische Zeitalter zu einer überragenden Blütezeit der englischen Literatur. Ihr Wegbereiter war Christopher Marlowe: Im gleichen Jahr wie William Shakespeare wurde er als Sohn eines Schusters geboren. Allen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz erkämpfte er sich ein Stipendium in Cambridge, ließ sich in den Spionagedienst der Königin verwickeln und schuf einige der spektakulärsten Meisterwerke der englischen Literatur.

It was Edward who conquered Wales and incorporated it into England. It was Edward who set the stage for the conquest of Scotland—a brutal campaign that would define the final years of his reign and ignite centuries of conflict.

Pendant des siècles, la République de Venise a défié les attentes. Bâtie sur des pilotis de bois enfoncés dans la vase, protégée par les marées et le commerce, elle s'est façonnée en une puissance souveraine qui a survécu aux royaumes, aux dynasties et aux empires. Venise est devenue la Reine de l'Adriatique—une république de marchands et de magistrats, d'amiraux et d'ambassadeurs. Ses galères naviguaient vers Constantinople et Alexandrie ; ses étendards flottaient sur la Crète et Chypre ; ses émissaires négociaient avec les papes, les sultans et les empereurs.

Using old-school tools and street-hardened experience, they drilled through two feet of concrete and walked away with over £14 million in jewels, gold, and cash. But it wasn’t long before the law caught up—thanks to modern surveillance, carelessness, and old rivalries.
