Virginia Mendozas first memories are of drought. She grew up in La Mancha, Spain, the driest region in Europe. Her parents, grandparents, and almost every word, tool, and tradition of her homeland conveyed one conviction: without water, there is no life; without water, there is no civilization.In The Search for Water, Mendoza weaves this personal reflection together with a dazzling scientific and anthropological enquiry into the ways the search for water has shaped the story of humanity. From flows of migration, agriculture and pagan rain gods to contemporary struggles with drought and climate change, Mendoza writes a gripping and inventive history of humankind as driven and united by one force: thirst.

THE YEAR 1400 opened with more than usual pea-cefulness in England. Only a few months before, Richard IIweak, wicked, and treacheroushad been dethroned, and Henry IV declared King in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting but for a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful manas justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those daysand though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the co-ming in of the new King.Among these were a number of great lordsthe Dukes of Albemarle, Surrey, and Exeter, the Marquis of Dorset, the Earl of Gloucester, and otherswho had been degra-ded to their former titles and estates, from which King Richard had lifted them. These and others brewed a secret plot to take King Henrys life, which plot might have succeeded had not one of their own number betrayed them.

The object of this book is to present in compendious form the evidence which myths and dreams supply as to primitive mans interpretation of his own nature and of the external world, and more especially to indicate how such evidence carries within itself the history of the origin and growth of beliefs in the supernatural.The examples are selected chiefly from barbaric races, as furnishing the nearest correspondences to the working of the mind in what may be called its "eocene" stage, but examples are also cited from civilised races, as witnessing to that continuity of ideas which is obscured by familiarity or ignored by prejudice.

The Patience of Trees is a literary fiction collection spanning a century (1924-2024), chronicling generations of one family as their lives intersect with Fletcher Moss Gardens in Manchester. Across ten interconnected stories, the collection explores how love persistsand failsacross decades, shaped by class barriers, war, social constraints, and time itself. At its heart lies a question: can the patterns that trap us finally be broken?Each story stands alone as a complete narrative, but together they form a conversation about what endures and what transforms. The Gardens serves as both setting and silent witness. The trees stand unchanging while lives unfold beneath themmeetings, partings, grief, joy, transformation. They hold every moment with equal care, indifferent to human categories of success and failure, remembering everything, judging nothing.At its heart, this is a book about patience: the patience required to love across distance and silence, the patience of those who witness without fully understanding, and the patience of placeslike Fletcher Mossthat hold our stories long after weve forgotten we left them there.

PETER, of course, has his chin on his palm like the pictures of the young Sir Walter Raleigh. He has a complete set of features, including serious, sombre, even funereal, gray eyesand radiates that alluring air of never having eaten food. This air can best be radiated during the afterglow of a beef dinner. Be is looking at MR. ICKY, fascinated.
