This is the remarkable story of the English language; from its beginnings as a minor guttural Germanic dialect to its position today as a truly established global language. The Adventure of English is not only an enthralling story of power, religion, and trade, but also the story of people, and how their lives continue to change the extraordinary language that is English.

"O que há num nome?". A pergunta de Julieta a Romeu funda a questão que intriga o escritor e ator Gregorio Duvivier: por que será que certas palavras são mais perfumosas que outras? Por que algumas têm um som mais estridente e pontiagudo, e outras um ar mais arredondado? As coisas existem sem seus nomes, ou é impossível separar uma coisa da outra? Nessa declaração de amor à língua portuguesa, o autor mostra como as palavras que usamos todo dia podem ser surpreendentes quando olhadas sob uma nova perspectiva.

She has been delighting us on screen and on stage for over 25 years and - thanks to her undoubted talent, infectious spirit and self-deprecating humour - we have taken her to our hearts. Now she tells us her own story, in her own words. She was born in 50s Birmingham, daughter of an austere Irish Catholic mother.

This book, the second posthumous collection of his journalism, brings together pieces from near and far. He was ferociously well travelled, and once wrote that for all our ability to cross the world at will, 'abroad is as foreign and funny and strange and shocking as it ever was, and our need to know our neighbours every bit as great'. This is a book about meeting those neighbours.

Why do some speakers get booked again and again, while most struggle to land even one paid gig? What makes one speaker the industry go-to, while everyone else is overlooked, no matter how good they are on stage? Why do some speakers effortlessly attract repeat bookings, referrals and high fees, while others don’t? Can you really be more in demand, more respected, and more booked without being famous or a celebrity? The answer is YES! This audiobook reveals what the top 1% most-booked speakers do differently — and how you can do it too.

From the peak of Jeremy Corbyn's popularity and the shock hung parliament of 2017 to Labour's humbling in 2019 and the election of Keir Starmer, Left Out draws on unrivalled access throughout the party and to both leaders' inner circles to provide a blistering narrative exposé of the Labour Party during one of the most tumultuous and significant episodes in its history. It reveals a party riven by factionalism and at war over ideology, then incapacitated by crisis and indecision.
