In the province of Morona-Santiago, around the city of Macas, a legend has always been told about the dangers of behaving disrespectfully towards nature. It is a legend that comes from the Shuar people, who live in the jungle in the eastern Ecuadorian Amazon. Generally speaking, they are brave and proud of their traditions and of the fact that they are one of a handful of indigenous groups who managed to resist both the colonising missions of the Inca and the Spanish. The upper photo of the front cover is a genuine Shuar dwelling that was on the side of the road on the way from Puyo to Macas in Ecuador. The lower one is a view of the rainforest as taken from Macas. Of all the towns and cities I visited in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, Macas was my favourite.

When Jack Leith died in 1899, his bequest to Tom and George, the children of his second marriage, was five hundred pounds and an understanding that they would always take care of their mother. The money was to be shared equally between the two of them; responsibility for their mother Tom took entirely upon his own shoulders. Tom: determined to honour his father's legacy, and willing to set aside his own wishes as he does his best to please a demanding mother. George: strong-willed to the point of obstinacy, and equally determined to go wherever his ambitions lead. George seeks adventure, while Tom asks for little more than a tranquil household. Though the brothers' affection for each other never wavers, they follow increasingly divergent paths as each in his own way strives for a life that may hold more than mere contentment. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For readers of the "Promises to Keep" series, Tom and George follows the lives of Amy's younger brothers after their father's death.

ÿWith a documented history stretching back a thousand years, Dunster Castle in Somerset is one of Britain?s oldest and most intriguing great buildings, its turrets evoking centuries of warfare, dark deeds, bloodshed and treachery. What makes it particularly unusual is the prominent role women have played in its fortunes, from the indomitable Joan de Mohun in the 14th century, who promised as much land to the villagers as she could walk around barefoot in a day, to Lady Jane Luttrell, who saw off a Royalist attack during the English Civil War by personally commanding the cannons. Jim Lee worked for many years at the castle and knows more about it than just about anyone. Here he presents an entertaining history of the roles, from the heroic to the self-indulgent, its women have played over the centuries.
