Synopsis

Allan Cunningham's "Brief View of the Progress of Interior Discovery in New South Wales" is a seminal work that charts the early explorations and geographic discoveries within New South Wales, reflecting the spirit of scientific inquiry that defined the early 19th century. Written in an accessible yet scholarly prose, the book combines detailed observations with analytical commentary, deftly weaving personal experiences with empirical data. Cunningham situates his narrative within the broader context of European exploration, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs faced by explorers, while articulating the significance of these discoveries for the burgeoning colony and its European audience. Cunningham, a naturalist and explorer himself, was deeply invested in the flora, fauna, and indigenous cultures of Australia, which undoubtedly influenced his writings. His extensive travels throughout the region lent him first-hand experience of the landscapes he meticulously documented, providing a richness and authenticity to his observations. His background in botany, coupled with a keen interest in economics and geography, allowed him to produce a comprehensive account that was both scientifically rigorous and culturally insightful. This book is an essential read for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in early Australian exploration. Cunningham's insightful observations and eloquent prose offer a window into the era's exploratory fervor and its implications for understanding the cultural and ecological tapestry of New South Wales. It serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the human spirit's enduring quest for knowledge.

The Grey Soul of London - An...

Robert Kingham

‘He who cannot find wonder, mystery, awe, the sense of a new world and an undiscovered realm in the places by the Gray’s Inn Road will never find those secrets elsewhere.’ – Arthur Machen 
The Grey Soul of London is an audio guided tour. Robert Kingham takes a walk across the worn and hollowed stones of the Angel and Clerkenwell districts of London in search of places that inspired the writer Arthur Machen (1863-1947). This was originally a historical guided tour commissioned for the Museum of London’s Urban Myths season in 2011. 
The Grey Soul of London has now been rewritten and expanded for 2023, with incidental music by Rich Cochrane. Everything you need in terms of directions and instructions is contained within the audio narrative, so you can just listen and walk. If you want, you can also find a map of the walk online at minimumlabyrinth.org, plus a picture gallery illustrating some of the people, places and events mentioned. 
‘It is a district both devious and obscure, and I suppose that its twisting streets and unexpected squares of dusty trees will all come to ruin before they are intelligently explored.’ – Arthur Machen

The French Resistance - Stories...

Sage Winters

The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. With their lives at risk and a constant threat of betrayal or capture, these brave souls fought in the shadows, working tirelessly to undermine the Nazi war effort, sabotage military operations, and support the Allies.
At the heart of the Resistance was a spirit of defiance, a refusal to accept the status quo and a deep-seated belief in the values of freedom and liberty. The people who joined the movement were motivated by a sense of duty to their country, but also by a moral obligation to resist the horrors of the Nazi regime. From the rural villages to the bustling streets of Paris, the Resistance spread across France, forging networks of covert cells that communicated through secret codes, hidden messages, and underground newspapers.
The introduction of the Resistance was not a single event but a gradual process of collective resistance that evolved over time. In the early days, acts of defiance were small and isolated—anonymous leaflets denouncing the occupation, graffiti calling for revolt, and the quiet refusal of French citizens to cooperate with Nazi authorities. These early acts were the spark that would ignite a larger, more organized resistance movement. As the war progressed, Resistance groups grew in strength and sophistication, developing into a network of fighters, spies, and saboteurs working in unison to disrupt the Nazi regime’s operations.

The young dancer runs his fingertips over an ominous, silver-trimmed black box, its obsidian surface glittering temptingly in the torchlight.
