Book excerpt: In a time when teaching your neighbors to read could put you at great risk, one young mother survived the threat of an unjust law, the start of war, and the burning of her town to become a hero to her community and a role model for all. The story of Mary Peake comes to life as never before in this all-new biography of the legendary educator. Born of mixed-race in Norfolk, Virginia, her mother sends her north for an education. As tensions between the North and South escalate, it is now illegal for Mary to continue her education. Even more, it is illegal to teach any black American to read, whether enslaved or free. Mary returns to Virginia and helps her community by creating the Daughters of Zion to help feed and clothe those in need... but soon, she offers much more. Teaching in secret, her skills become well known. When Virginia secedes from the United States and her home and hometown of Hampton are burnt to the ground, she teaches under an oak tree on what is now the grounds of Hampton University. Moreover, that tree becomes the spot where Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation is first read in the South. Mary Peake and the Mighty Acorn is profusely illustrated with original art, historic photos, and modern images of the places where Mary lived and taught. The book was written with the assistance of the Contraband Historical Society and with full access to archives from the Hampton University Library. Created to be fully accessible to fifth grade readers, it provides a strong introduction to Mary's work for any reader.

Part II, Portrait of New Brunswick Ecoregions and Ecodistricts presents a detailed look at the variety and distribution of ecosystems across the geographic expanse of New Brunswick.

The Tall, the Tough, and Tiny is the simple tale of three unique creatures living on the plains in Africa. There s the tall giraffe, the tough and rugged elephant, and the tiny mouse. They have little use or appreciation for one another until a fire sweeps the land and destroys all the food on the plain. It is then, that their unique gifts help them to survive... The elephant uses his memory to recall where they may find food. The giraffe uses his long neck and excellent eyesight to spot the location. But they need the tiny mouse to help them get the food. This story has been dramatized by the Rainbow Puppets and presented in schools across the country to share the importance of getting along. Originally commissioned by the Holocaust Commission to teach unity... it has now been seen in other countries including Africa and Ireland. Now it s available as a colorful storybook to read again and again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 615 AD. A vengeful Persian tyrant prepares the final blow that will annihilate the Byzantine Empire. Back in Constantinople, though, Aelric of England - now the Lord Senator Alaric - has it made. He is almost as powerful as the Emperor. Seemingly without opposition, he dominates the vast and morally bankrupt capital. If, within his fortified palace, he revels in his books, his mood-altering substances, and the various delights of his serving girls and dancing boys, he alone is able to conceive and to push forward reforms that are the Empire's only hope of survival, and perhaps of restoration to wealth and greatness. But his domestic enemies are waiting for their moment to strike back. And the world's most terrifying military machine is assembling in secret beyond the mountains of the eastern frontier. What is the Horn of Babylon? Is it really accursed? Who is Antonia? What is Shahin, the bestial Persian admiral, doing on a ship within sight of the Imperial City? What exactly does Chosroes, the still more bestial Great King of Persia, want from Aelric? Is Rado a barbarian thug or a military genius? Will Priscus, the vile and disgraced former Commander of the East, get his place in the history books? Must it be written in Aelric's blood? In this sixth novel in the series, can Aelric rise to his greatest challenge yet? Intrigue, sex, black comedy, spectacular crowd scenes and extreme violence - you will find it all here in luxuriant abundance. Praise for the Novels of Richard Blake 'Fascinating to read, very well written, an intriguing plot and I enjoyed it very much.' - Derek Jacobi, star of I Claudius and Gladiator 'Vivid characters, devious plotting and buckets of gore are enhanced by his unfamiliar choice of period.... Nasty, fun and educational.' - The Daily Telegraph 'He knows how to deliver a fast-paced story and his grasp of the period is impressively detailed.' - The Mail on Sunday 'A rollicking and raunchy read . . . Anyone who enjoys their history with large dollops of action, sex, intrigue and, above all, fun will absolutely love this novel.' - Historical Novels 'It would be hard to over-praise this extraordinary series, a near-perfect blend of historical detail and atmosphere with the plot of a conspiracy thriller, vivid characters, high philosophy and vulgar comedy.' - The Morning Star Richard Blake is a pseudonym for Sean Gabb, who is an historian, writer and university lecturer. He lives in Kent with his wife and daughter.
