Escape from Neverland
You don't need time portals, magic wardrobes, rabbit holes or faery dust to experience a profoundly different world...all you need to do is walk into the Wyrde Woods. Chances are that they will appear familiar...we have all been there. That timeless semi-mythical dreamtime of our subconscious inhabited by archetypes where anybody can become the hero, especially those who consider themselves the least worthy. Wendy Twyner is definitely one of those who would consider herself unworthy but when she walks out of the dilapidated council estate where she lives and strolls into the Wyrde Woods -only a few miles away but worlds apart- she finds her perceptions challenged and possibilities for change which fill her with hope for a brighter future. In short: A Dreamtime-Tale with a dark twist set in today's Sussex, England.

Considering the similarities and tensions that coexisted in the Iberian Atlantic, Ballone offers a thorough reassessment of current historiography on the Tumult proving that, despite the conflicts and arguments underlying the disturbances, there was never any intention to do away with the king’s authority in New Spain.

What were voters' opinions on the major issues of the day and did these opinions affect their decision ...
