If lucky enough to have children of my own one day, my goal was to be the father to them that I never had growing up - to be the very best father I could be. Directionless and lacking confidence, that hope took me longer to realize than most. Years spent feeling lonely and full of sorrow delayed me from realizing my dreams... until I finally took control of my direction as I entered my forties. This happened to be just months before I met the person, my soulmate, who would make my dream of becoming a father come true. Though the journey of expanding our family took us eight long years, it all worked out eventually, and our twin boys Liam and Noah were born. Being a father is the greatest joy I have ever experienced, and I will never take it for granted. This book is comprised of a series of letters to Liam and Noah, in which I share some of my many life experiences (some good, and some not so good), how I have handled things, and what I could have done better. My hope is that by being open and honest with my sons they can learn from my mistakes, and more easily achieve their own goals in life. I hope you, too, can take something away from the advice I share, and that you are inspired to pass along some wisdom from your own experiences to your loved ones.

Alchemy has traditionally been viewed as 'the history of an error', an example of mediaeval gullibility and greed, in which alchemists tried to turn lead into gold, create fabulous wealth and find the elixir of life. But alchemy has also been described as 'the mightiest secret that a man can possess', and it obsessed the likes of Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle and many of the founders of modern science. This book explores its history, from its mysterious beginnings in Egypt and China, through the Hellenistic world and the early years of Islam and into mediaeval Europe.

Catharism was the most successful heresy of the Middle Ages. Flourishing principally in the Languedoc and Italy, the Cathars taught that the world is evil and must be transcended through a simple life of prayer, work, fasting and non-violence. They believed themselves to be the heirs of the true heritage of Christianity going back to apostolic times, and completely rejected the Catholic Church, regarding it as the Church of Satan. Martin recounts the story of the ever mysterious Cathars in this lively and gripping book.
Andrei Tarkovsky is the most celebrated Russian filmmaker since Eisenstein and one of the most important directors to have emerged during the 1960s and 1970s. Although he made only seven feature films, each one was a major landmark in cinema, the most well-known being the medieval epic Andrei Rublev. In this book, Sean Martin considers the whole of Tarkovsky's oeuvre, seeking to demystify Tarkovsky as a 'difficult' director whilst celebrating his radical aesthetic of long takes and tracking shots.

Nejslavnější rytířský a mystický řád dějin obestírá mnoho mýtů, fám a tajemna. Známý bestseller slavného britského autora a dokumentaristy Seana Martina vám odkryje roušku obestírající historii a život templářů, kteří vešli do povědomí veřejnosti i díky slavnému Da Vinciho kódu Dana Browna, a naučí vás orientovat se ve spletité síti historických fakt a populárních spekulací.
Po skromných počátcích se templáři stali nejsilnějším vojensko náboženským řádem středověku. Řád byl zformován, aby ochraňoval poutníky do Svaté země, ale brzy začalo narůstat jeho bohatství i jeho vliv. Údajně se měli na Blízkém Východě naučit tajné moudrosti a získat esoterické poznání. Po dvě století se zdálo, že jsou nedotknutelní, poté ale upadli v nemilost a byli mocnými tvrdě pronásledováni a krvavě potíráni.
Práce Seana Martina vyniká svou vyvážeností, komplexností a zároveň poutavým a přehledným vylíčením oficiálního stanoviska odborníků i nevědeckých spekulací. Provede vás po tenké hranici mezi historií a mýtem a oživí před vašima očima strhující příběh rytířů Templu.
