From the bestselling author of Viking Britain, a new epic history of our forgotten past.As Tolkien knew, Britain in the ‘Dark Ages’ was an untidy mosaic of kingdoms. Some – like Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and Gwynedd – have come to dominate understandings of the centuries that followed the collapse of Roman rule. Others, however, have been left to languish in a half-light¸ forgotten kingdoms who followed unique trajectories before they flamed out or faded away. But they too have stories to be of saints and gods and miracles, of giants and battles and the ruin of cities. This is a book about those lands and peoples who fell by the the lost realms of early medieval Britain.In Lost Realms, Thomas Williams, bestselling author of Viking Britain, focuses on nine kingdoms representing every corner of the island of Britain. From the Scottish Highlands to the Cornish coastline, from the Welsh borders to the Thames Estuary, this book uncovers the forgotten life and untimely demise of realms that hover in the twilight between history and fable.ELMET. HWICCE. LINDSEY. DUMNONIA. ESSEX. RHEGED. POWYS. SUSSEX. FORTRIU. The grave-fields and barrow-mounds of these shadowed lands give up the bodies of farmers, warlords and queens, a scattering of their names preserved on weathered stone and brittle parchment. Their halls remain as ghost-marks in the earth, their hill-forts clinging to rocky outcrops. This is the world of Arthur and Urien, of Picts and Britons and Saxon migrations, of magic and war, myth and miracle.

"All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia." (George Orwell) With that as its opening, "President You: How a Thoughtful Ordinary Citizen Could Change the Most Complex Government on Earth," couples an engaging fictional narrative with challenges that face America today; prompts citizens to reflect with new urgency on how government should work; is a catalyst for generating discussion of today's domestic and international policies; and an ideal for book-group contemplation and individual reading.This non-fiction book uses its fictional President Augustus Lincoln Treatise to solve some of America's thorniest problems. Many of his unexpected proposals prevail. Even when they don't, his willingness to dismantle partisan boundaries and rethink outworn traditions revitalizes the presidency and the nation it serves. "President You" reaffirms that ordinary citizens can have a profound impact on the life of our nation and, by extension, the world. Whether or not you've ever wondered what you would do if you were President of the United States-and even if you disagree with some of Augustus' initiatives, "President You" will get you thinking about the role and responsibilities of national government, the issues that affect our collective and individual lives, and the power of each and every citizen to make enduring change."President You" couples an engaging fictional narrative with a factual and impeccably researched exploration of presidential decision-making, the legislative structure and process, and the challenges that face America today. Chapters include Health Care, Immigration, Political Correctness, and Sanctuary Jurisdictions. Topics broached in other sections are Electoral College, Globalization, and the 14th, 17th, 22nd Constitutional Amendments.Offering bonus extras including a reference list and reader questions, it's ideal for both book-group discussion and individual reading.

A unique gift for others or to yourself. "My Life in Lists" is a booklet for people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures, heritages, languages, and nationalities. It is designed for individuals to document, in list format, the people, places, and things throughout their lives - and then share with family, friends, and possibly historians. After a short introduction, nearly 100 blank pages are available upon which a person can create his or her own lists. It is not meant to be a diary or a journal. Rather, it is intended to become, simply and directly, a recorded compendium of one's life.As we get older, two things tend to happen - our memories fade and the stories we tell get bigger and better. Entries in this booklet may offer refreshing reminders of times nearly forgotten, just as family portraits, vacation photos, and home movies provide. Subjects listed can form the basis of new tales with which to stimulate the imaginations of curious progeny. Loved ones may use the topics to aid the remembrances of hazy minds. Notations can form the basis of an autobiography or furnish the foundation for genealogy research. "My Life in Lists" is a novelty present for many occasions: anniversary, wedding, birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation, promotion, retirement - even a "stocking stuffer" at Christmas.
