Focusing on 6 states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. Caught up in this effort were scores of activists, lawyers, judges and state and local officials, among them Rohn Bishop, enthusiastic chairman of the Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, Republican Party, who would be branded a traitor for refusing to say his state's election was tainted, and Ruby Freeman, a part-time ballot counter in Atlanta who found herself accused of being a 'professional vote scammer' by the President. This book uncovers never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues and their families.

In that moment, April makes an agonising decision, which will force her onto a course of action she couldn't have imagined. If she is to find out what happened - and protect her own freedom - April is going to find herself face to face with some of the most powerful people in her industry, unforeseen dangers, and discomfiting truths from Essie's and her own past.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Monks Takhar, Helen<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>London : HQ, 2024.<br />372 pages ; 20 cm<br /><br />Ashton Library - (Tameside) - Adult Fiction - Adult paperback - Onloan - Due: 14 May 2024 - 38016019853276<br />Hyde Library - (Tameside) - Adult Fiction - Adult paperback - Available - 38016019853284<br />Stalybridge Library - (Tameside) - Adult Fiction - Adult paperback - Onloan - Due: 07 May 2024 - 38016019853292<br /> https://tameside.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=3726065&CF=BIB&ISGLB=0 Reeling from the death of her best friend, Eliza, Margot moves to university looking for a fresh start, a chance to reinvent herself.

We couldn't be more wrong. As Ian Mortimer shows in this fascinating introduction to the Middle Ages, people's horizons - their knowledge, experience and understanding of the world - expanded dramatically. All aspects of life were utterly transformed between 1000 and 1600, marking the transition from a warrior-led society to that of Shakespeare. We tend to think about the Middle Ages as a dark, backward and unchanging time characterised by violence, ignorance and superstition. By contrast we believe progress is the consequence of science and technological innovation, and that it was the inventions of recent centuries which created the modern world.

He is as cautious and awkward as she is charismatic and forceful. It seems an unlikely romance, but it works. Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maralyn has an idea: sell the house, build a boat, leave England - and its oil crisis, industrial strikes and inflation - forever. It is hard work, turning dreams into reality, but finally they set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway there, their beloved boat is struck by a whale. It sinks within an hour, and the pair are cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. On their tiny raft, over the course of days, then months, their love is put to the test. Filled with danger, spirit and tenderness, this is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive - not just at sea, but in life.
