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）。爱丽丝被保护伞公司实验室复制，成了伊萨克博士的研究标本。因为她体内的DNA可以对抗T-病毒，所以博士以此来提升僵尸的杀伤力。爱丽丝接到了人类的求救信号，但却中了奸计，几经拼杀，方才自救。她如释重负，然而在睡梦中，她却强烈地感受体内强大力量的召唤，显然保护伞公司实验室对她做了手脚。而且，伊萨克博士还给僵尸注入了人类血液，激活其人类的心智。僵尸变得更强大，根本无法被控制，他们残忍地杀害了实验室助手，被训练对付爱丽丝。3年后，地球成了不毛之地。内华达州的幸存者结成了同盟，爱丽丝也在其中，但是她不敢表露身份，因为实验室给了她超能力，同时也让她被迫做了间谍。爱丽丝被孤立，只有卡洛斯懂得她的苦衷，二人也因此陷入了暧昧之中……。
