AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 4
~
Join Professor Alice Roberts and the Channel 4 team as they travel two thousand miles through Italy, France and Spain in search of a greater understanding of the Roman Empire and its legacy.
From Naples to Pompeii, Rome to Turin, Nîmes to Narbonne and Tarragona to Cartagena, follow the team – and the local experts they meet along the way – as they explore what everyday life was like for ordinary citizens of the Roman Empire and the developments that led to its birth, expansion and eventual collapse.
Featuring Alice’s own experiences from the journey itself, including her drawings and personal anecdotes, this book delivers more depth and context than the TV series, with up-to-date discoveries and facts about one of history’s greatest empires.
Whether you want to follow Alice’s journey yourself or enjoy the ride from the comfort of your home, this is both an immersive travelogue and an accessible guide to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

Because second chances come when you least expect them…
Linda Standish has been a friend to the friendless for the past thirty-three years, in her role at the council’s Unclaimed Heirs Unit. And now she’s looking forward to the joys of an early retirement.
But before she hangs up her lanyard, Linda takes on one last case – that of Levi Norman – a Welshman who made his home on a remote Scottish island for the five years before he died. Linda must visit Storrich to track down Levi’s remaining relatives...
What brought Levi here? And who did he leave behind? Obliged to travel (by hearse!) with her arch nemesis, and helped (and hindered...) by the local residents, Linda searches for clues to a life now lost. And in the process unexpectedly makes new friends, and discovers things about herself she never knew.
Bursting with all the heart and humour that has made Ruth’s name as a screenwriter and author, By Your Side is a joyful celebration of friendship, love and community.
