From the bestselling author of the Time Travellers Guides In these sparkling A to Zs, time-travelling historian Ian Mortimer visits four classic periods of English history: the fourteenth century, the Elizabethan age, the Restoration and the Regency. As he ranges from the Great Plague to the Great Freeze, from Armada to Austen, and from tobacco to toenails, he shines a light into corners of history we never knew were so fascinating -- or so revealing of the whole. How did the button change life in the Middle Ages? If you found yourself at a smart Elizabethan party, should you kiss your hostess on the lips? Why were pistols safer than swords in a duel? And how come Regency Londoners quaffed so much port? This is Mortimer at his accessible and witty best. As ever, his aim is not only to bring the past to life but also to illuminate our own times.

The Lakota and Dakota are among the most famous indigenous peoples of North America. Known as "Sioux", they were feared for their fierce resistance to the advance of white Americans. Today, they are no longer fighting the U.S. Cavalry, but poverty, alcoholism, racism, and pipelines. "Broken Hoop" describes their history from the first contact with Europeans until today - their wanderings, their development from horticulture farmers to nomads on horseback, their fight for their land and their way of life, and their dealing with the modern world.

Geronimos Story of His Life (1906) is the remarkable first-person narrative of Geronimo, the legendary leader of the Chiricahua Apache. Dictated to S. M. Barrett, an American superintendent of education, this autobiography gives voice to one of the most famous and misunderstood Native American figures of the nineteenth century.Geronimo recounts his early life in the rugged lands of what is now Arizona and New Mexico, describing Apache traditions, family bonds, and the hardships of survival. The story turns when his family is massacred by Mexican soldiers, igniting his lifelong resistance against Mexican and later U.S. military forces. He details raids, battles, and strategies used to defend his peoples freedom against overwhelming odds, portraying himself not merely as a warrior but as a man fighting for justice, survival, and cultural identity.The narrative also explores his spiritual beliefs, visions, and the rituals that guided Apache life. While Geronimo acknowledges defeats and eventual surrender in 1886, his voice remains defiant and proud, challenging the stereotypes imposed by outsiders.Both historical document and personal testimony, the book offers rare insight into Apache culture, frontier violence, and the costs of colonial expansion. It remains essential reading for understanding Native American resistance and resilience.

What does it mean to belong?Across oceans and centuries, this sweeping narrative shuttles between the corridors of the Colonial Office in London, the contested streets of Durban, and the changing power dynamics within the British Raj. The first boatload of indentured Indians arrived in Natal in 1860. Thousands were to follow. In haunting detail, the book captures the plight of these labourers as well as the vicious onslaught faced by the merchant class for daring to outpace their colonial rivals. At its core are the untold struggles of Indian South Africans as they confront the ever-present threat of repatriation.Sensitive to shifting political terrains, the book weaves together seismic events the independence of India, the coming of apartheid and the threat once more of mass expulsions with the texture of everyday life. The granting of citizenship in 1961 is accompanied by mass relocations as the Group Areas Act rips communities from their roots. Yet, out of this despair, barren townships on the edges of cities are turned into places of hope.In the final chapters, the fall of apartheid offers a moment of transcendence. Yet it also asks: what does it mean, at last, to belong? It is a fascinating story of the global and the local, of resistance and collaboration, and undefeated optimism. This is a book for anyone who has ever sought a place to
