Book Description
In the Name of the Crown takes us on a journey through the 17th century. It begins with the trial and sealing of the death warrant of King Charles the first, and his subsequent execution. This triggers the abolition of the monarchy as the Puritan Republic takes over, but it is no match for the resistance it faces. Britain has not seen the last of the Stuart line, however, as Charles the First's exiled son, Charles the Second, is restored and begins the search for the regicides who sent his father to the scaffold. Two have fled to New England, to be joined by a third, whilst others will face the ultimate punishment. King Charles the Second learns of a potential rebellion in the colonies: two Puritan generals will attempt to raise the colonial militias and declare independence from England. He orders Baron John Belasyse, a battle hardened royalist, to hunt them down. The baron is teamed up with a local man - a turncoat and unscrupulous slave dealer. He sees a new country taking shape, challenging the perceptions of the old - but who will triumph in this struggle? Can he fulfil the king's orders? In the Name of the Crown is set against the aftermath of the English Civil Wars and the building of the United States of America. It will appeal to those with an interest in British and American History.

Book Description
The official companion to the Emmy-winning Netflix drama chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and starring Claire Foy and John Lithgow, The Crown by Peter Morgan, featuring additional historical background and beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so suddenly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, she was already a wife and mother as she began her journey towards becoming a queen. As Britain lifted itself out of the shadow of war, the new monarch faced her own challenges. Her mother doubted her marriage; her uncle-in-exile derided her abilities; her husband resented the sacrifice of his career and family name; and her rebellious sister embarked on a love affair that threatened the centuries-old links between the Church and the Crown. This is the story of how Elizabeth II drew on every ounce of resolve to ensure that the Crown always came out on top. Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, and filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills, The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series, painting an intimate portrait of life inside Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Here is Elizabeth II as we’ve never seen her before.

Book Description
"Pirke Avot: The Sayings of the Jewish Fathers" by anonymous is the oldest collection of ethical dicta of the Rabbis of the Mishnah. It is a Rabbinic anthology. To many who study it, it's believed that these Rabbinical sentences, if properly arranged, present an almost complete code of human duties. The Abot is, then, a sort of moral code. Values, ethics, and what it means to be a good man are all presented in this book of sayings that is just as important today as it was many years ago.
