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）。中年男子弗兰克·沃克和身边的女孩凯茜·牛顿大吐苦水，他慨叹现代社会充斥了战争、饥饿、灾难以及种种不公，他回忆起自己童年时代的一段经历。当年小小的弗兰克带着自己的得意发明来到某主题公园，结果却碰了一鼻子灰。而美丽的少女雅典娜偷偷伸出援手，让他见识了令人咋舌的未来世界。与之相对，凯茜则是对未来充满幻想的阳光女孩，她渴望有朝一日遨游太空。心怀梦想的她甚至私闯NASA，为此惹了不小的麻烦，不过却由此得到一枚神秘的徽章从而结识了弗兰克。 这一老一少的命运相逢，让充满幻想的未来世界不再遥远……。美丽的数学岛上，有一个神奇的愿望之码。只要将“咔布”生产出的数字和“加减乘除”身上的符号正确填入其中，就可以实现任何愿望。博士为了实现统治世界的野心，一心想要得到五只咔布。在数学天才罗克和伙伴们的努力下，博士的阴谋最终破灭。博士跌入了愿望之门，竟然回到了过去。重回数学岛后，博士假扮成数学王子，更加疯狂地继续自己的阴谋。罗克和伙伴们齐心协力，一次次地挫败了“数学王子”的阴谋，恢复了数学岛的安宁。。
