Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。“Hasta la Vista”可不是阿诺在《终结者》中拽拽地说出的名台词，而是西班牙一所妓院的妓女们热情好客的欢送语。三位主人公是一名盲人，一名半身麻痹着和一名全身瘫患者，但是他们相信，像他们这样的人也有权利追求爱和性，所以三人本着“破处”的目的向着西班牙一家为残疾人提供服务的妓院出发了……。年轻的FBI特工强尼·犹他，潜伏到一队喜欢寻找刺激挑战的盗匪里，该队伍由富有个人魅力的鲍迪领导。这些盗匪被怀疑是在用极不寻常的方式进行着系列犯罪。在与鲍迪这一伙人的交往中，犹他发现自己无可自拔的与这伙人产生了伙伴情谊，犹他陷入了职业伦理与追求真我之间的矛盾，他放弃了自己的一切，加入到了对人类极限界的八项巅峰挑战的追寻中……。
