Double bill of Disney's 'Peter Pan' adventures. The first film, 'Peter Pan' (1953), tells the story of what happens when Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up, visits the Darling family nursery and takes the children on a magical journey to Never Land. When they arrive they become embroiled in an on-going battle between Peter, his friends the Lost Boys, and the wicked Captain Hook, a pirate who has lost his hand and his watch to a hungry crocodile.
In the sequel, 'Return to Never Land' (2001), Wendy Darling is now a grown-up woman with a 12-year-old daughter of her own; but the daughter, Jane, no longer believes her mother's tales about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, thinking herself too old for stories of fairies and magical lands. So when Captain Hook's pirate ship appears in the sky above London and swoops down to kidnap the cynical young lady, it's fair to say that she has to reconsider her worldview. Held captive in Never Land, Jane discovers that Hook is still out to get Peter Pan - but can she find a way to help Peter avoid the pirate's trap?
Sumer was a region of the ancient world that today forms the
southern part of Iraq. It is a vast, flat land of floodplains
formed by the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates. It was here that some of
the world's first cities arose and writing was invented.
Archaeologists have explored the remains of some of Sumer's ancient
settlements. They have made remarkable discoveries at places such
as Uruk, Ur, Eridu, Nippur, Kish and Lagash. These show that the
people of Sumer were great artists, builders, inventors, warriors
and traders. By 3500 BC the population of some Sumerian towns had
grown into cities. The largest was certainly Uruk, which had a
population of at least 10,000. At this time this would have been
the largest settlement on the planet. Writing was invented by the
Sumerians around 3200 BC. This script is known as cunieform script
and through it readers can learn about the Sumerians in their own
words. Readers will discover what is meant by a ziggurat, how
cunieform writing works, the importance of cylinder seals and
stories of Sumerian kings, heroes and gods. This fascinating book
is perfect for Key Stage 2 readers aged 9 and up to gain a picture
of one of the earliest civilisations in the world.

The concept of stylus phantasticus (or 'fantastic style') as it was
expressed in free keyboard music of the north German Baroque forms
the focus of this book. Exploring both the theoretical background
to the style and its application by composers and performers, Paul
Collins surveys the development of Athanasius Kircher's original
concept and its influence on music theorists such as Brossard,
Janovka, Mattheson, and Walther. Turning specifically to fantasist
composers of keyboard works, the book examines the keyboard
toccatas of Merulo, Fresobaldi, Rossi and Froberger and their
influence on north German organists Tunder, Weckmann, Reincken,
Buxtehude, Bruhns, Lubeck, Bohm, and Leyding. The free keyboard
music of this distinguished group highlights the intriguing
relationship at this time between composition and performance, the
concept of fantasy, and the understanding of originality and
individuality in seventeenth-century culture.
Stimulating, encyclopaedic, and often downright funny, this is a
book worth remembering." , Stephen O'Shea, Globe and Mail (Toronto,
Canada) A lively, full-to-bursting history of the turbulent tenth
century in Europe, . Collins presents chaotic upheaval across
Europe in an organized and riveting fashion." , Kirkus (starred
review)The tenth century dawned in violence and disorder.
Charlemagne's empire was in ruins, most of Spain had been claimed
by Moorish invaders, and even the papacy in Rome was embroiled in
petty, provincial conflicts. The stability once provided by
Imperial Rome had dissolved, leaving a perilous landscape behind.
Yet the story of the tenth century is the story of our culture's
birth. This was the moment that civilization emerged from the Dark
Ages into the light of day.The Birth of the West tells the story of
a transformation from chaos to order, exploring the alien landscape
of Europe in transition. It thoroughly renovates older conceptions
of feudalism and what medieval life was actually like. The result
is a wholly-new vision of how civilization sprang from the
unlikeliest of origins, and proof that our tenth-century ancestors
are not as remote as we might think. The Birth of the West is a
re-making of what we think we know about the end of the Dark Ages.
It is also the gate to the utterly unexpected cosmos of European
forebears., The characters who people The Birth of the West are as
familiar as relatives,as indeed they are,groping their way to a
cohesive Western culture. The Birth of the West is thus the tale of
our birth, and Collins tells it with a narrative grace and elegance
which will make readers cherish it." , Thomas Keneally, author of
Schindler's Ark

.Tells the story of the tomb of Tutankhamun, placing the
discoveries in their historical context and includes many
historical documents that are being published here for the first
time .Includes painstaking recreations, in color, of a number of
key contemporary photographs taken at the time by Harry Burton
.Published to accompany an exhibition at The Ashmoleam Museum,
Oxford, UK from July 24th to October 26th 2014 Howard Carter's
excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 was one of the most
significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. The
name of Egypt's 'boy king' is now synonymous with the glories of
this ancient civilization, and the spectacular contents of his tomb
continue to capture the public's imagination. This book tells the
story of the search for Tutankhamun's tomb and its discovery using
Howard Carter's original excavation records that were deposited in
the archives of the Griffith Institute at the University of Oxford.
The meticulous recording process and conservation work on the
thousands of objects took Carter and his team an astonishing 10
years and for its time the entire enterprise was a model of
archaeological investigation. Against this backdrop of painstaking
scholarship, the book also explores the phenomenon of 'Tut-mania',
when the world was gripped by all things Tutankhamun, from jewelry
and clothing to dance music and curses. In the final section, the
authors re-evaluate what the tomb's contents can tell us about the
king and his time, and explore various projects that have in recent
years sought to ensure the preservation of Tutankhamun's tomb and
its contents for future generations. For all of these projects, the
Howard Carter archive in the Griffith Institute remains an
invaluable resource."

In 1799, the papacy was at rock bottom: The Papal States had been
swept away and Rome seized by the revolutionary French armies. The
cardinals were scattered across Europe, and Catholics feared they
would be unable to elect the next pope. Even if Catholicism
survived, it seemed the papacy was finished. And yet, just over two
hundred years later, the pope still stands "at the very center of
the central conversations of our time" (Time). His influence
reaches across the world--from Cuban politics to gender equality to
the refugee crisis--and the strength of his "soft power" is
incomparable. In this gripping narrative of religious and political
history, Paul Collins tells the improbable success story of the
last 220 years of the papacy, from the unexalted death of Pope Pius
VI in 1799 to the celebrity of Pope Francis today. As a historian,
journalist, and theologian, Collins also poses pressing, critical
questions to the Catholic Church: Does today's church governance
stray from the teachings of the gospel? Is the papacy's internal
power so great that it might be considered heretical? If so, what
can be done to ensure a credible--and Christ-like--path forward?
Absolute Power is required reading for anyone interested in the
history of today's complex power structures--as well as anyone
invested in religious, political, and social progress in the West.

Dudley was connected by tram to various parts of the Black Country,
first by steam trams and then by electric ones. This book takes a
route-by-route look at the development, operation and run-down of
the tramway system which once linked Dudley to Brierley Hill,
Stourbridge, Netherton, Cradley Heath, Pensnett, Kingswinford,
Wordsley, Kinver, Lye, Wollaston, Old Hill and Blackheath. After
charting each line's history, the book recreates a ride along them
using a plethora of historic photographs, many of which have not
been published before, highlighting the many features and objects
from the tramway that survive along the way.
On 23 November 1849, in the heart of Boston, one of the city's
richest men vanished. Dr. George Parkman, who owned much of
Boston's West End, was last seen that afternoon visiting his alma
mater, Harvard Medical School. Police scoured city tenements and
the harbour but a Harvard janitor held a much darker suspicion:
that their ruthless benefactor had not left the Medical School
building. His shocking discovery engulfed America in one of its
most infamous trials, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. John
White Webster, Harvard's professor of chemistry. A baffling case of
red herrings, grave robbing and dismemberment; it became a landmark
in the use of medical forensics. Rich in characters and atmosphere,
Blood & Ivy explores the fatal entanglement of new science and
old money in one of America's greatest murder mysteries.
