Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We would all like to think that the past will reveal that we are related to royalty or some famous person but, in reality, for most it just shows ordinary people and their struggle to survive and improve their lives. My family tore up its roots of centuries of living in Hertfordshire and moved to start a new life in Derbyshire in 1862. Over the next 150 years there would be hope, tragedy, violence, prison and service. There is an odd hero or two together with a marriage to the daughter of a Government Cabinet Secretary. This is a story with no ending and will continue to evolve until the male line of the Wrens' is no longer.

Two machines upon the Arkwright plan add to the modern commerce; and several looms have lately been constructed for the fabrication of calicoes.--Another machine, still later, appeared, to convert wool into a thread for weaving carpets. From the above state of trade in Derby, it appears that she crept silently through ages without much connexion with Commerce, except what arose from her own taylors, hatters, weavers, and shoe-makers, till the beginning of the present century, when the frame, the river, the silk-mill, the porcelain, &c. awakened her drowsy talents to riches, increase, and notice. The man who has known her threescore years can easily discover an improvement in her external buildings, and the extension of her borders. He may as easily prophecy, that, like an infant, whose whose powers are equal to its magnitude, it can stand upon its own basis, and will rise more rapidly towards maturity. "Besides the above-mentioned manufactures, several others are carried on to a considerable extent. There is a small bleaching-mill situated on Nun's-green, where the processes are performed, accordto the improved chemical methods: and to aid its operations, a small steam-engine has been erected. A mill for slitting and rolling iron, for various purposes; a large furnace for smelting copper ore, with a machine for battering and rolling the copper into sheets; a red-lead mill; a mill for making tinned plates; and an extensive shot-mill; are to be found in the town, or in its immediate vicinity*."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To understand the Kentucky Derby is to understand the contemporary American spirit." One hundred and fifty years have passed since the Thoroughbreds of the inaugural Kentucky Derby sprang from the starting gate to race beneath the iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs. But the story of the greatest two minutes in sports is more than the pageantry of the horses and thrill of the people who love and celebrate the event. Through the decades, the Derby, like the state that founded it, has experienced profound moments of social, economic, and cultural change. As one of Kentucky's flagship cultural and economic institutions, the Thoroughbred racing industry must constantly reconcile with its past and think critically about the stories that have traditionally made it into the winner's circle. In the right hands, artifacts of material culture related to the Derby have the power to inspire nuanced stories of the past and shed light on marginalized voices in the industry's history. In The History of the Kentucky Derby in 75 Objects, Jessica K. Whitehead sets out to recover the accurate history of America's longest continuously held sporting event and establish a balance between well-known narratives and those that are less widely shared. Whitehead, curator of collections at the Kentucky Derby Museum, gives readers a personal tour of 75 objects from the museum. Her selections place Black, Latin American, and female riders, owners, and trainers closer to the center of the Derby story, spotlighting the contributions and achievements of groups that have played an increasingly important role in shaping the legacy of the Run for the Roses.

Book excerpt: Lose yourself in this heartbreaking page-turner about the everyday bravery of ordinary people during wartime. 1940 Liverpool. Not long married, Hannah and Will Kidd are forced apart by the war. Merchant seaman Will faces the threat of German U-boats as his convoy carries vital food, raw materials and munitions from North America to war-torn Britain. Hannah lives in constant fear for his safety. When Will brings his Italian friend Paolo Tornabene home to meet Hannah, Hannah’s seventeen-year-old sister Judith falls head-over-heels in love. Their love is put to the test when Mussolini declares war on Britain. Judith’s sweetheart is now classed as an enemy alien. Each sister wants only to be with the man she loves but, as the war progresses, the dangers Will faces at sea escalate. With Paolo now a prisoner, tensions between the sisters boil over. A From heavily blitzed World War 2 Liverpool to the terrors of the North Atlantic and the scorched plains of Australia, Sisters at War will bring tears to your eyes and joy to your heart.
