Forbidden Love is a pathbreaking book that only a master historian could write. The first work for younger readers to describe the true history of racial mixing in America, it exposes how desperately some people have fought to guard our racial borderlines. Gary Nash, a past president of the Organization of American Historians, has been instrumental in rethinking how history should be taught in schools. Now, starting with John Rolfe and Pocahontas, pausing to compare the United States with Canada and Mexico, and ending with his own multiracial classrooms, he shows how racial mixing, and the fear of it, is at the heart of American history.

King Argentocoxos of Caledonii, one of the last Northern Pict tribes to yield to the Romans, reluctantly offers his daughter's hand in marriage as a last, desperate act to negotiate peace with the Empire. Caracalla, the eldest son of the aged and ailing Emperor, Septimius Severus, perversely relinquishes the beautiful Caledonian princess to his bride-less, homosexual brother, Geta. Princess Fiona is torn away from Galen, the man whom she believes she loves, and is thrust into an entirely different world. The Roman World. Alone and frightened, she grasps onto the one person who dares to show her kindness-- Marcus Camillus, a mighty ex-Primus Pilus, who is struggling to fight the demons of his past. This unique friendship soon develops into something more... an empowering love, which in turn casts them both into a vortex of unforeseen dangers. Once the aged emperor dies, he leaves both sons to rule his Empire. But separate divisions of Rome were not to Caracalla's liking. Once his brother is out of the way, murdered, the new, solitary emperor finds a most entertaining way to increase Rome's treasury for his war campaigns. What better way to enhance his riches than to use the Princess of Caledonii as a prisoner of war and enter her into the Gladiator's arena! Marcus and Fiona are thrown into some complicated situations, but through it all their love withstands and grows, giving them the hope and courage they need in order to survive a world that constantly dares to drive them apart.

Queensland’s tropics provide numerous environments for enjoyable walking: lush rainforests, cloud-shrouded mountains, extinct volcanoes, savanna woodlands, and magnificent beaches on the coast and Great Barrier Reef islands. This book brings together more than 150 of the best walks, tracks or trails in Queensland’s tropics, located within the coastal strip between Rockhampton and Cooktown. Walks vary from short boardwalk strolls in the lowland rainforests of Daintree National Park to 4-6 day hiking and camping trips on Hinchinbrook Island. Other routes follow old gold miners’ and forestry tracks or coaching routes or feature historical sites, rivers, lagoons, geological and geographical formations or much earlier Aboriginal communication tracks where Dreamtime stories add a further dimension. Man-made environments of abandoned gold towns, heritage riverfronts, Art Deco streetscapes and Second World War installations also feature. Most routes are best completed during the ‘Dry’ season (May to October) and walked by moderately fit individuals. Most do not require specialist navigation or bushcraft skills. Walks, Tracks and Trails of Queensland’s Tropics highlights the best the region has to offer. Easy-to-interpret maps are included to help you navigate, and the book’s size makes it convenient to carry in the backpack.

Connecticut—a New England state with a proud history and vibrant culture. But there is more to this place than white church steeples and town greens. In the forests and meadows surrounding these quaint, colonial towns lurk spine-chilling ghosts protecting Captain Kidd’s treasure, the abode of the Devil himself, and shadowy creatures such as the Glawackus, all awaiting the next hiker to stumble down the trail. For years, the stories of these mysterious beings and places existed only in whispers and campfire tales, but now for the first time these legends have been collected and retold in one volume: Spooky Trails and Tall Tales Connecticut. Alongside each of these captivating tales is the necessary route and trailhead information brave readers will need to go beyond their town lines and test their nerve. Proud to support Friends of Connecticut State Parks with a portion of the royalties.
