Cidermaking has been at the heart of country life for hundreds of years. But the fascinating story of how this drink came into existence and why it became so deeply rooted in the nation's psyche has never been told. In order to answer these questions, James Crowden traces an elusive history stretching back to the ancient, myth-infused civilisations of the Mediterranean and the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan. Meeting cider experts, farmers and historians, he unearths the surprising story of an apple that travelled from east to west and proved irresistible to everyone who tasted it. Upon its arrival in Britain, monks, pirates and politicians formed a pioneering and evangelical fan base, all seeking the company of a drink that might guide them through uncertain times. But the nation's love affair with cider didn't fully blossom until after the reformation, when the thirst for knowledge about the drink was at its peak. This infatuation with experimentation would lead to remarkable innovations and the creation of a 'sparkling cider', a technique that pre-dated Dom Pérignon's champagne by 40 years. Turning to the present day, Crowden meets the next generation of cider makers and unearths a unique philosophy that has been shared through the ages. In the face of real challenges, these enterprising cider makers are still finding new ways to produce this golden drink that is enjoyed by so many. ![]() English | 2018 |MP3|M4B | ASIN: B07FSW7JLC | Duration: 7:51 h | 198 MB Gabe Barrett / Narrated by Adam Naranjo Take your games to the next level with advice from more than 60 of the best board game designers in the world. ![]() English | May 06, 2020 | ASIN: B0883G9YRN |MP3|M4B | 1h 21m | 33.36 MB Author: Charles Fillmore Narrator: Mitch Horowitz ![]() English | 2017 |MP3|M4B | ASIN: B077NL7J55 | Duration: 8:38 h | 127 MB Aria Scarlett / Narrated by Roxanne Hill, Ronnie Pickens, Concha di Pastoro, Shoshana Franck, Ruby Rivers, Marlow Harrison, Millie Stearn, Roxanna Vissade, Kelly Morgan, Rebecca Blue, Sabrina Carleton, Nessie, Kathryn LaPlante Aria Scarlett is one sexy writer, and when she sits down at her computer, extremely hot stories result!

But time has always been against us. From the city sundials of ancient Rome to the era of the smartwatch, clocks have been used throughout history to wield power, make money, govern citizens and keep control. Sometimes, also with clocks, we have fought back. In About Time, time expert David Rooney tells the story of timekeeping, and how it continues to shape our modern world. In 12 chapters, demarcated like the hours of time, we meet the greatest inventions in horological history, from medieval water clocks to monumental sundials, and from coastal time signals to satellites in Earth's orbit. We discover how clocks have helped us navigate the world, build empires and even taken us to the brink of destruction. Over the course of this global journey, Rooney demonstrates how each of these clocks has shone a spotlight onto human civilisation and shows us the very real effects clocks continue to have on everything from capitalism, to politics, to our very identity. This is the story of timing. And the story of timing is the story of us. ![]() English | ASIN: B09BBQNGGK | 2021 | 9 hours and 46 minutes |MP3|M4B | 268 MB In the early morning hours of August 29, 1986, Clarkson University sophomore Katy Hawelka - bright, pretty, and full of life - strolled back to her upstate New York campus after a night out. On the dimly lit path beside the university's ice hockey arena, a stranger emerged from the darkness. The brutal sexual assault and strangulation that followed rocked the campus and the local community. When Katy was declared brain-dead three days later, her family's nightmare had only just begun. Terry Connelly soon learned details about her daughter's death that would make her blood boil. From the bungling campus guards who could have stopped the murder, to mistakes by others that allowed the killer to wander the streets committing violence, Katy's mother became certain of one thing: The criminal justice system only meant "justice for the criminals." A Stranger Killed Katy is the true story of a life cut tragically short, and of the fight by a grieving mother and others more than 30 years later to ensure that a killer would spend the rest of his life behind bars. ![]() English | ASIN: B09BRFFY79 | 2021 | 4 hours and 42 minutes |MP3|M4B | 129 MB A Field Guide to Larking is a practical, interactive and inspiring guide to larking from the best-selling author.
