All ten episodes of the award-winning mini-series based on the
real-life experiences of American paratroopers who fought in Europe
during the Second World War. From their training in Camp Toccoa,
Georgia, through their landing in Normandy as part of the D-Day
offensive, their participation in the Battle of the Bulge, and all
the way up to the final surrender of the German forces, the series
follows the adventures of Easy Company, a unit noted for its skill
and bravery, but which also suffered a high number of casualties in
its journey across Europe. Each episode also features excerpts from
actual interviews with surviving members of the company.

Following on from the success of the award-winning A History of
Pictures for Children comes this introduction to the history of
music that takes children on a musical journey around the world.
Readers will meet along the way a diverse cast of composers,
musicians and performers who all make music in different ways in a
variety of different genres, from Bach to Billie Eilish, Mozart to
Miriam Makeba. Why do we make music? Which instruments make up a
classical orchestra? How does music affect our brains and emotions?
These are just some of the fascinating questions addressed in this
book, which looks at music's transnational and boundary-breaking
qualities. All over the world and throughout time, music has been
recorded and passed down through different oral traditions and
forms of notation. It has always been a powerful catalyst for
influencing change and connecting people. And what might the future
of music hold? Exploring the technology we use to listen to and
create music, the authors imagine new possibilities such as
computer-generated compositions and robot musicians. Includes an
online playlist organized by chapter that children can listen to as
they read.
A history of the world told through the prism of language, from
Shakespeare to Anne Frank, Martin Luther King to Greta Thunberg. A

to transfer thoughts from one brain to another using words. Written
in a lively narrative style, the book presents a history of the
world and human development through the prism of language,
introducing readers to the civilisations, inventions and wordsmiths
who have shaped the way we communicate. Divided into themed
chapters, the book explores what words are and how humans
communicate using spoken language and sign; the development of
written scripts and writing implements, including paper; the
history of manuscripts and printed books, including worldwide
bestsellers and famous libraries; the process of learning another
language; dialects and accents and the way language can reflect our
identity; the power of words to calm, inspire, rally crowds and
rule nations; graffiti's role in spreading messages; codes and
invented languages; the patterns of poetry; the future of words,
including emojis; and languages facing extinction.
