    I picked this book up on a whim shortly after my mum's death anniversary. I started reading it in the bookstore café and didn't make it more than a dozen pages before having to put it down and wipe away tears. A beautiful work. It's written with such vulnerability. I'd gladly listen to you talk about it for hours.

    After purchasing the book I cam here to listen to the author .. let me say that was a very passinate pitch, but I felt weird. I love the french but I think we should not be mixing everything. After watching this video I feel the author should write more books rather than more videos. Oh Papyrus is great. Book is amazing

    So sad to see no comment in a book where novel science theory is expressed and explained. I found the theory of white hole interesting, since it gives an outlet to the matter that falls into a black hole, which are super massive. I have not read anything about white holes but I will speculate my imagination here: does it mean that every black hole is the end of “a universe” and a white hole a beginning of it? (Sort of a Big Bang?)

    I just finished reading this book - it is longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction this year. It is a lovely book! The writing style and format of the chapters from the characters' points of view just worked so well. What a great recommendation by Blackwell's. Congratulations to Victoria MacKenzie.

    I have yet to read his book but im enjoying the you tube clips I do find it puzzling why few historians spend hardly any time on the bloody islamic Colonialism from the 7th century onwards against the Cristian ortodox lands of Arabia north africa Spain and the Balkan region which over 400 years was the impetus for Pope Urban to call for a military confrontation against islamic invasion desacration genocide and enforced slavery In the TV program this was lightly touched upon but perhaps giving new students an incorrect impression that Pope Urban just called for the Crusades on a whim ? Were the battles of Yarmuk 636 AD or the moslim massacres iin Doziore in Anotolia and Spain and the Balkans mentioned at all ? And no mention of the modern woke myth of living under islamic rule was a huge multicultural utopia it definately wasnt ! This is boasted about my moslim croniclers of the time Christains and jews who were spared the slaughter had to live in diminitude or 2nd class citizens and pay a Jizra or protevtion money and had no legal standing under the medieval repression of sharia law ! This still goes on today in the theocractic Dictatorships Yes the European Royal Dynasties were in fighting amoung themselves and yes the collection of crusader armies were too dis organised to liberate jerusalem and the so called holy lands long term and yes they also did commit atrocities themselves in response to the fanaticism of the moslim armies cultural practices War sadly always involves innocent civilians but i have not heard any mention of the indoctrination of hatred towards the kaffir or all non moslims found in the so called holy book ? History is not just only dates of battles but of ideologies and ideas and it seems ttalt to examine their koran to gan insight as to why even today the Fundenmentalist Theocraies recruit young men to blow themselves up in public European Spaces and endorse what is now called hate speech in order to encourage the devout to carry out random attacks on civilians This seem ingrained at a psycological level ? I apologise if David Asbridge has covered this aspect in his writings already but i have yet discovered it Jihad is not always military as we are now seeing in Europe jihad by Hizra or invasion by migration and infiltration ? When the numbers reach high enogh a miltary coup can take place which seems to be building up as we speak ? Shamefully aided and abetted by our Traitor politions most of whom seem to be under the influence of another newer ideology ie Marxism Some say that the 1860 Crimea war was the last Crusade ? In that the european Cristian powers could of re taken the old Bzantine Capirol Constantinople now istanbul for Christianity ? But decided instead to deny an expansionist russia access to the Black sea which would of given them axcess to the Mediteraniean ? Either way the books TV presentations and KZread clips do shed important light on our current world But will our blockhead politions learn from history or be doomed to tepeat the same tragic mistakes ? We all have a collective resoonsibity to recocgnise and confront evil and not wait 400 years ,!

    An inspiring interview. Monbiot is so wise because he can bring many disciplines together; ecology, anthropology, neuroscience, history... Disciplinary boundaries in modern industrial science and education make people stupid and dangerous.

    A very important book about the centrality of libraries, archives, and books, as guardians of knowledge and truth over civilization's journey from past to present and beyond. The preciousness of the written word and the vulnerability of its preservation is a central theme for democracy. Dr. R.

    As an atheist growing up in England we were always taught everything Protestants did was good and everything Catholics did was bad. Also Catholics were completely backward and corrupt. This didn't seem to make a lot of sense to me realizing they founded all the great universities and built beautiful Cathedrals and a Church in the middle of every village. And then a King who an adulterer, married 6 times and murdered two of his wives was presented as noble while he was going around razing to the ground every ancient abbey, priory and monastery and giving his mates and the Crown the spoils. Can't say it seemed particularly Holy. All the Catholics who were also murdered and impoverished and then lost their civil rights for 300 years were given little attention. The whole thing seemed like a massive propaganda exercise.

    He destroyed the right books, the books that promoted destruction of the family and books that promoted homosexuality and beastiality. Books that didn’t align with German, therefore, European ideals. But they are promoted today, however. Perhaps that is the so called “progress” of modernity.

    Mark Rowlands is a very intelligent man who understands nothing about the reality of God coming first, not man inventing God. (Most philosophers are like that, apparently.) When he says human intelligence is manipulatory in nature he is definitely confusing intelligence and character: you can have a significant amount of the former and lack in terms of the latter. I'm an intelligent person and I would hate myself for taking advantage of any other people. Not even if they are smarter than me (which is more often than not the case, not that I am stimulated to even try and get advantage of them, whatever the odds).

    Ez a nő életében nem dolgozott csak papíron, családjára való tekintettel járt és mai napig jár neki a pozíció miközben bábként mondja fel kitartói véleményét. Anyai nagyapja rabszolgatartó, búr háborús, kizsákmányoló, angolok által odatett fehér báb kormányzója volt Indiának, anyai dédapja meg az exxtrém liberális Lloyd George, a trianoni szerződést kárunkra megszavazó szemétládák egyike volt. (aki Trianonban azt is kikövetelte, hogy Anglia hadd szipolyozhassa még jó sokáig Indiát). Ez a nő, aki csak az élősködéshez ért, nehogy már kioktasson bennünket Magyarokat.

    How do you know what Shakespeare of Stratford did or did not have experience of? Seriously..anti stratfordians cannot argue on one side that he could not have written the plays because there aren't enough historical references to him and on the other that there are a long list of things he did not do or know or have access to. It's not logical..there remains not one shred of evidence that someone else wrote the plays and plenty that he did.
