A collector's colouring and activity-book dedicated to the clothes, songs, and key people and
places in the career of the legendary singer-songwriter; the complete guide to the brilliant world
of Bob Dylan
Beginning with rockabilly, moving on to folk music, sliding over to electric, and falling into a
psychedelic phase, like a chameleon Bob Dylan has changed his skin repeatedly over the years,
juggling his image with apparent ease and subverting the prevailing social and aesthetic models
each time. His Supro guitar and the leather jacket - reminiscent of James Dean; the muse of his
hobo period Suze Rotolo and his legendary Triumph Bonneville; the Newport Jazz Festival and
the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village: artist Matteo Guarnaccia has documented this pilgrimage
of styles stage by stage, year by year, with a wealth of detail. The clothes, faces, music and
places of those years become subjects to colour in, paper-dolls to dress, and board games to
assemble, while the characters of his songs provide the members of a colourful circus.
This is the ultimate collector's activity-book to be approached with glue, scissors and colouring
pencils, dedicated to all the fans of the legendary singer-songwriter.

'Carpets of Afghanistan' is without a doubt one of the most detailed analysis of Afghanistan rug
production ever published. Author Richard Parsons, for many years a buyer in Afghanistan for
the well-known firm O.C.M (London) Ltd, treats the reader not only to a veritable feast of
carpets and rugs, all with their attendant tribal origins and motifs vividly explained, but also to a
fascinating journey through the history of a diverse and colourful country. The author shares his
respect and admiration for Afghanistan's stoic people, who, somehow, despite political upheavals,
forced resettlement, a harsh climate and often primitive nomadic conditions, manage to fashion
exquisite works of art which reflect their pride in their many-faceted heritage.
Afghan rugs, which are instantly appealing due to their traditional colours and bold designs, open
up a whole vista for the collector, from sumptuous piled purdahs to flat woven prayer rugs, all of
them well illustrated in the 154 colour and 90 black and white plates.
AUTHOR:
On completing his National Service in Egypt, Richard Parsons spent some time with the Colonial
Service, before joining a mining finance house and working for several years in West Africa. He
was then posted to Tehran where he fell in love with Oriental carpets. On completion of his
assignment in Iran and faced with the prospect of a London office, he abandoned his career for
the carpet trade to the consternation of family and friends. He subsequently joined the
prestigious firm of Oriental Carpet Wholesalers in the UK, whose agents buy from all over the
carpet-making world for sale in the UK and redistribution throughout the world. After training at
the London warehouse and in Iran, he was sent to Afghanistan as assistant buyer. He soon took
over full responsibilities staying on in Afghanistan until 1979 when it was occupied by the Soviet
Union. He then went as a buyer to Pakistan where he lived and worked until 1981, before
moving to Hong Kong. His knowledge and love of Afghan rugs has prompted him to devote a
great deal of time researching, writing and recording for posterity the details of rug production
and tribal history in that remote but beautiful country. Richard Parsons died in February, 2002.

Oak Furniture:
The British Tradition

***Delayed Release - Now printing.***
Victor Chinnery's scholarly work covers the history and development of furniture in oak and
kindred timbers in the British Isles and New England, from the Middle Ages through to 1800. The
subject is broken down into a logical sequence of aspects and each section is generously
illustrated. The furniture shown ranges from the finest examples of the period, to the sort of
sturdy and workmanlike pieces which modern collectors will find affordable.
The study of oak furniture is a remarkably rich and varied subject, which reflects at several
levels the social and domestic life of many generations of our ancestors. Victor Chinnery has
explored and clarified many important topics, whilst fully realising that scholarship in this field is
still very much in its infancy.
One of the most profound influences on the appearance of furniture in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries was the system of rigid demarcations operated by the different furniture
making trades, and in which the work of the joiners was the most important. The author explains
the techniques and materials of the different trades, as well as other considerations of vital
interest to the modern collector and curator.
The furniture of Connecticut and Massachusetts in the seventeenth century is presented as an
extension of the range of styles to be found in other English provinces at the same date.
SELLING POINTS:
• The standard work of reference on the subject, consulted by dealers, collectors, auctioneers,
valuers and students of furniture
• Provides an amazing range of superb illustrations with a clear classification of the furniture, all
within the context of the period
• This revised and authoritive version contains a pictorial index with items arranged in
chronological order for quick and easy identification

***AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND CONTENT***
This monograph on the Australian and New Zealand architects, 'Architectus', presents 25
buildings with photographs, plans, sections and some details. Architectus was formed in 2001
based on a collaborative design partnership between Patrick Clifford in Auckland, New Zealand
and Lindsay and Kerry Clare in Sydney, Australia.
The work of Architectus spans more than 20 years of practice. It demonstrates a deep concern
for making low-impact environmentally sound buildings, and applying this environmental
approach to give both experiential and architectural expression to sense of place. The architects
eschew digital formalism and seek out an aesthetic based on their readings of climate, the
necessity of structure, and the pleasures they take in detailing ordinary materials to celebrate
the slight imperfections and irregularities that distinguish the hand-crafted from the
machine-finished.
In undertaking to write on Architectus, Beck and Cooper take the view that readers will have
already formed a favourable impression of the work. They therefore set out to answer a
question both readers and they themselves ask: 'Why do we like the work?' They note: 'What
we like about the work of Architectus also reveals something about ourselves. As critics, it is our
task to identify the intentions in the work, and to tease out and illuminate the many strands that
shape them. It is up to the reader to speculate.'

From the authors of Extraordinary Interiors: Decorating with Architectural Salvage and Antiques
comes a whole new source of decorating inspiration. No matter the style or location of a home,
architectural salvage can quickly add character and charm to any room, whether it's with an old
soapstone sink in a suburban bungalow or a Victorian wrought-iron railing recast as a fireplace
screen in an urban high-rise apartment. The possibilities are endless-and with the right amount
of imagination and a slightly mischievous attitude, architectural salvage can pack a delightfully
beautiful decorating punch.
Find out the answers to common questions such as "How do I use an old stained glass window
that isn't the right size?" or "What exactly is the right type of mantel for my home?" Brian
Coleman reveals the simple truth to decorating with salvage-embrace the imperfections, as they
add a patina of time that is hard to reproduce. This book also includes a foreword by Old House
Interiors editor Patricia Poore and contributions from a forum of salvage experts from across the
country.

Downs House II:
West Coast Modern House Series
Author: MACDONALD CHRISTOPHER
ISBN: 9781935935285
Binding: Hardcover
Pages: 80
RRP: $34.99
9HSLJNF*jdfcif+
'Downs House II' presents an original and comprehensive overview of the home that local
architect Barry Downs built for himself in West Vancouver. The site overlooks Howe Sound with a
panorama formed by the Coastal Mountain Range of British Columbia. This house of modest
proportions presents the key and formative qualities that have come to represent a West Coast
Modern idiom in architecture. With past and beam structure clad in cedar shingles, the house
characteristically hovers above the rough terrain while remaining intimately engaged with its
forest setting. While the dramatic panorama of the living area provides a signature moment in
the experience of the house, a variety of more intimate views of the forest and granite outcrop
provide a richly textured and ever-changing backdrop to domestic life. The house continues to be
occupied by the architect and his wife Mary, and is maintained in meticulous condition. Delightful
in itself, the Downs House II also offers testimony to a time of creative generosity in which the
design of even modest houses served as a place of exploration. In our current era in which
architectural culture commonly privileges the experience of individuality and distinction, it is
refreshing to be reminded of buildings that are decidedly calm and assured. This is certainly the
case with this special house a house that could be fairly said to be at once unprecedented and
singular while remaining utterly familiar.

What is the Agbar Tower? A headquarters. Why this shape? The oblong top of the tower creates
an optimised environment to raise a war cyborg.
What is the Casa da Musica? A beach! Why that form? To collect medicinal seawater in the
autumn.
This collection of bestiaries is a critique of Monster Contemporary Architecture. It is a
reinterpretation of contemporary iconic forms and the contemplation of the future states of these
masterpieces, or more fittingly, Monsterpieces.
Two Harvard architecture graduates challenge themselves to unlearn architecture history. They
speculate on the future state of post-occupancy of contemporary architectural icons, creating a
retrospective of future archaeological studies. A response and critique of iconic
perFORMance—the current architectural trend in competing for attention—this fiction tells the
story of building forms that do follow function. In this book, each eccentric form finds its
justification in a speculative function, with surreal and dystopian connotations. The Casa da
Musica is now a beach, and Selfridge Birmingham is a prison for TV addicts—nothing more,
nothing less.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster calls herself "a prisoner of literature." Through her work in spatial
installations, video projection, and "apparitions" (performances), she has indeed told remarkable
stories using unique and incredibly diverse methods. This book features a new work by the
artist—a labyrinth of staged rooms constructed to send viewers on a visceral journey through
time and through cinematography, literature, and science. Like much of her work, this piece
draws on the artist's own life. The book also offers an overview of Gonzalez-Foerster's
astonishing career: from her massive exhibit at the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, in which she
installed replicas of iconic sculptural works, bunk beds, and a science fiction film, to the
book-populated habitats she constructed at the Hispanic Society of America. Perceptive essays
by leading art critics discuss Gonzalez-Foerster's use of cinema, literature, architecture, and
music as a means of self-exploration and expression. The result is a magnificent and deeply
personal overview of an artist grappling with time, literature, narrative, and identity.

• First monograph on Elsa Sahal, a rising star of contemporary ceramics
Trained at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-arts de Paris in the atelier of Georges
Jeanclos, Elsa Sahal quickly focused on working with ceramics for their sensuality and fragility.
Former resident at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, in 2013 (Helena, MT), at
Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics, in 2009-2010 (Alfred, NY) and at the
Manufacture Nationale de Sevres (2007-2008), Elsa Sahal has also taught at the Haute Ecole
d'Art et de Design in Geneva and at the Ecole Superieure d'Arts Decoratifs in Strasbourg.
She experiments in particular with the idea of volume and balance in sculpture, while returning
to an exploration of the themes of the body and femininity. Ambiguous, dense, sensual and
colourful, her works oscillate between anthropomorphic landscape and the landscaped body,
taking up Cezanne's dream of uniting women's curves with the shoulders of hills. Elsa Sahal
conceives, kneads and then produces complex and disturbing forms sustained by dense colours
and sublimated through enamel.
Winner of the MAIF prize for sculpture, in 2008, and the contemporary sculpture prize awarded
by the Fondazione Francesco Messina, in 2007, Elsa Sahal has presented her work in one-woman
shows and group exhibitions in numerous museums around the globe.

Impressionists in Their Gardens

'Impressionists in Their Gardens' explores gardens through the senses of the Impressionists from
three continents - Europe, North America and Australia - enjoying the essentially similar
pleasures of the garden, but engaging with the light from their skies in order to create very
different sensations. The enclosure of the garden acts like a picture frame showcasing a living
canvas that exudes the individuality, vision and taste of its tenants, their family, friends,
lifestyles and, in the simple words of the greatest Impressionist and gardener Monet, providing
motifs to paint.
The first section uses contemporary paintings and photographs to see the who, what and where
of Impressionist gardens - planting, eating, loving, sleeping, children, animals, working and
painting. The second section, illustrated with paintings, old photographs and modern images,
starts at the horticultural source - the nurseryman Latour-Marliac at Temple sur Lot, then Monet
at Giverny; American Impressionists at Old Lyme, Cos Cob and Appledore in the USA; Gertrude
Jekyll at Munstead Wood and beyond; the Heidelburg School and Frederick McCubbin at
Fontainebleau; and, chronologically last but not least, Renoir at Les Colettes.
Caroline Holmes' travels have enabled her to take this unique approach, as a garden historian
and gardener she understands how weather has shaped and formed the earth's sublime
topography and how the control of the human hand is beautifully displayed in its fine crafted
gardens, observed and colourfully captured by these artists. Join her in the garden for the great
pleasures of solitude and sociability; food and friendship; sound and scent; cool shade and balmy
warmth, not forgetting glorious colour.

The Cuaderno de Artista (Artist's Notebook) that accompanies volume R of the magazine
Matador, entitled Bitacora Lux (Lux Logbook), brings together a set of 20 water colours painted
and personally chosen by the Cantabrian artist Juan Usle: figurative annotations from a logbook
in which the brightness of white attests to an endless journey. It is a sketched work which, just
like life itself, does not stop and is constantly under construction; the solitude of the traveller, of
explorers, within the solitude of the universe.
The oeuvre of Usle, one of the most prestigious artists on the international scene, is an urge that
combines the purity of geometry and an abstraction which evokes lines, with the representation
of a stressful reality that is ruthless in its indifference. Translucent layers, saturated colours,
parallel lines, outlines and contours that evoke the distance between Spain and the United
States, the country where Usle has lived for over 25 years.

The only comprehensive publication devoted exclusively to "one of the quiet giants of
post-conceptual photography" (The New York Times), this book celebrates Liz Deschenes’s
twenty-year career with immaculately produced images, an interview with the artist, and critical
essays.
One of the most innovative artists working today, Liz Deschenes continually challenges
photography’s traditional conventions. Since the mid-1990s her work has evolved as a stripping
away of photography’s inherent interference with its subjects. Making use of the medium’s most
fundamental aspects—paper, light, chemicals—she produces camera-less pieces that not only
remind viewers of photography’s essential goal of reflecting light and colour but also expand its
scope into the realm of sculpture. Filled with dazzling reproductions of Deschenes’s installations
and lush work, this book includes her key bodies of works, from early colour studies to recent
hybrid photo-sculptural installations that playfully interact with their environment. An interview
captures Deschenes's voice and point of view and a series of critical essays rounds out this
unparalleled exploration of an exciting, boundary-pushing artist working at the height of her
powers.

Sketching Cities Series
A fresh, well-observed, annotated, carnet de voyage about the "City of Lights" by French
illustrator Lapin. A must-have art book for all Paris lovers and visitors with streak of creativity.
AUTHOR:
Lapin is a French illustrator, an artist, a French urban sketcher based in Barcelona. He can be
defined as a mobile illustrator who carries his sketchbook and his compact sketching gear to the
street, to a bar, to a metro, to Istanbul or Tokyo. Sketching is a way for him to record every
second of his life and feel alive. He can sketch sitting on a floor for hours or just having a beer in
his hand or just during one metro stop. Lapin already filled around 160 sketchbooks for the last
13 years and he particularly appreciates sketching on vintage accounting books from the 70s
which he finds in flea markets. According to Lapin a good sketchbook must contain two things;
some doodles of dinosaurs and vintage cars. Besides capturing his life in his sketchbooks he also
teaches art of "sketching" during workshops in universities, in art schools and participates
exhibitions around Europe. Lapin has published several sketchbooks about Cuba, Japan, Istanbul,
Barcelona and Carcassonne.
REVIEWS:

Art is a major component of our contemporary design landscape. Over the past twenty-five
years, the medium of public installation has gained serious momentum, with the beautification of
cities worldwide spearheaded by visceral conceptions and brazen works of art that coerce all
passers-by to contemplate not only the work in question or the location it is situated in, but the
viewer's relationship to the aforementioned two. This level of frequency and fervour for the
medium would not be the same without the pioneering work of Barbara Grygutis, a forerunning
practitioner in the field and a champion for public art s selfless ethos in all mediums and all
aspects of life. 'Public Art/Public Space' features twenty ground-breaking works accompanied by
retrospectives from public art professionals on Grygutis herself, her work, and what her
extensive contributions could mean for the works of tomorrow.
AUTHOR:
Through her work as an artist, Barbara Grygutis creates public spaces that enhance the built
environment, enable civic interaction, and reveal unspoken relationships between nature and
humanity. She engages the public through her works of art by identifying themes meaningful to
each specific site and community. Grygutis has been commissioned to create over 75 large-scale
works of public art throughout North America and is recognised internationally for her sculptural
environments. Her completed projects include sculptural environments integrated into urban and
natural landscapes, iconic freestanding works, sculpture gardens, public plazas, gateways and
signature markers, memorials, monuments, and works of art designed to enhance pedestrian

This book on Spencer Finch, celebrated internationally for his transportive studies of light and
colour, looks at over two decades of work that investigates the nature of perception and its
mysteries with both curiosity and humour.
Finch is an American artist who blends scientific method with a poetic sensibility as he examines
the physiological and psychological machinations that inform how we see and how we understand
and represent the world around us. Using a range of media including watercolour, pastel,
photography, video, and sculpture, as well as unexpected materials, ranging from fluorescent
lamps to invisible ink, he attempts to depict the most elusive of subjects—wind, heat, the scent
of Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, and most importantly, sunlight. Finch has received popular and
critical acclaim for his work, which draws viewers in at every level with its formal and conceptual
rigor, as well as its sense of wonder. This book surveys highlights from the artist's career from
the 1990s to date. Large format illustrations allow viewers to appreciate the beauty of Finch's
translations of colour and light. The accompanying texts, which include descriptions of each work
and a conversation with the artist, are certain to shed light on Finch's subject matter and
inspirations, from poetry to science and philosophy, as well as his creative process.

This book pays tribute to the mature work of Stuart Davis, a distinctly American artist who
adapted European modernism to reflect the sights, sounds, and rhythms of popular culture.
Beginning in 1921, a series of creative breakthroughs led Davis away from figurative painting
and toward a more abstract expression of the world he inhabited. Drawing upon his admiration
for Cezanne, Leger, Picasso, and Seurat, Davis developed a style that would evolve over the
next four decades to become a dominant force in postwar art. His visionary responses to modern
life and culture both high and low remain relevant more than 50 years after his death. Focusing
on the images and motifs that became hallmarks of his career, this book features approximately
100 works—from his paintings of tobacco packages of the early 1920s, the abstract Egg Beater
series, and the WPA murals of the 1930s, to the majestic works of his last two decades. The
authors take a critical approach to the development of Davis's art and theory, paying special
attention to the impact his earlier work had upon his later masterpieces. They also discuss
Davis’s unique ability to assimilate the lessons of Cubism as well as the imagery of popular
culture, the aesthetics of advertising, and the sounds and rhythms of jazz—his great musical
passion. Informed by previously unpublished primary documents, the detailed chronology is, in
effect, the first Davis biography. Together, these elements create a vital portrait of an artist
whose works hum with intelligence and energy.

If you approach Venice by way of the lagoon, the city appears to be as homogenous as a single

architectural finesse of the palazzi, churches, and private residential palaces where the eye is
drawn to the dazzling stylistic variety of Moorish window arches adjacent to balconies in Venetian
Gothic and severe Renaissance facades. This classic volume offers detailed insight into the broad
spectrum of architecture, sculpture, and painting of the city on the lagoon. The authors
chronologically progress through the stages of Venetian art history from the thirteenth to the
sixteenth centuries. More than 500 illustrations document the eventful artistic development of
this exceptional city, whose monuments have been largely preserved until today.

This is the definitive biography of one of the most controversial figures of the Second World War.
Sir Arthur Harris remains the target of criticism and vilification by many, while others believe that
the contribution he and his men made to the Allied victory is grossly undervalued. Harris has
been condemned, in particular, for his Area Bombing tactics which saw civilians and their homes
become legitimate targets along with industrial and military installations. This is explored by the
author and placed fully within its context, and just as importantly, within the instructions he
received from Churchill's administration. Henry Probert's critical but highly sympathetic account
draws on wide-ranging research and, for the first time, all of Harris' own papers, to give an
outstanding insight into a man who combined leadership, professionalism and decisiveness with
kindness, humour and generosity.
AUTHOR:
Air Commodore Henry Probert was educated at Cheadle Hume School and Sidney College,
Cambridge, where he read history. He served for thirty years in the RAF Educational Branch,
becoming its director and spent eleven years as Head of the Air Historical Branch. He is one of
the founders of the RAF Historical Society.
SELLING POINTS:
• The most detailed biography of Sir Arthur Harris that has been published.
• Vindicates fully the tactics used in the controversial Area Bombing campaign.
• Highly acclaimed as the most balanced account of Harris that has been written.

Chesterton is so good on Dickens because his wit is as sharp as that of the Great Inimitable
himself:
"Dickens was most accurate when he was most fantastic. . . . He exaggerated when he had
found a truth to exaggerate. . . . In one sense truth alone can be exaggerated; nothing else can
stand the strain."
No one excels him at catching and conveying the sense of wonder that is Dickens, and his
contagious enthusiasm will be sure to send the reader to the books with more alertness and
keener appreciation.
AUTHOR:
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, critic, playwright, historian and

"I have read no book approaching this … His story is exhilarating and profoundly moving." Daily
Telegraph
'Fighter Pilot' was written from the immediate and unfettered personal journal that 23-year-old
Flying Officer Paul Richey began on the day he and No.1 Squadron landed their Hawker
Hurricanes on a grass airfield in France. Published in September 1941, it was the first such
account of air combat against the Luftwaffe in the campaign in France in the Second World War
and struck an immediate chord with a British public enthralled by the exploits of its young
airmen.
It is the story of a highly skilled group of young volunteer fighter pilots who quite literally flew in
the face of overwhelming odds and crushing fatigue to destroy 155 enemy aircraft, 114 of them
in only ten days. It is a moving account of one young man's initiation into the vagaries of war.
AUTHOR:
Paul Richey flew with the famous No 1 Squadron and was the first pilot to publish his memoirs
during the Second World War. Although there have been innumerable accounts of the Second
World War in the air, few have so accurately described the thrill and terror of air fighting, and
very few have matched the warmth and pathos, the immediacy and honesty of Paul Richey's.
His was the first such account, and it remains by far the best.
SELLING POINTS:
• This classic work is one of the most respected and well-reviewed accounts of the Second World
War
• One of Britain's most 'bravest pilots' exploits in France and beyond
• Incredible insight into the Battle of Britain, written during 1940 and first published in 1941
• John Sargeant recently chose Paul Richey's portrait for the BBC's popular Your Paintings series

The remarkable career of Bomber Command and Test Pilot Jo Lancaster DFC, the first man to
use the Martin Baker ejection seat in an emergency.
John Oliver (Jo) Lancaster DFC had a remarkable career in aviation spanning half a century.
Starting out in 1935 as an engineering apprentice with Armstrong Whitworth Jo went on to fly an
extraordinary 54 operations against the enemy during the Second World War, piloting Vickers
Wellingtons and Avro Lancasters with RAF Bomber Command’s 40 and 12 Squadrons. Jo also
took part in the ‘Thousand Bomber Raids’ in 1942 while an instructor at an operational training
unit. Subsequently Jo was posted to the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment at
Boscombe Down, during which he flew a wide range of types, including captured German
aircraft, and this was followed by training at the Empire Test Pilots’ School.
Post-war Jo took up numerous appointments as a test pilot including duties with Boulton Paul and
Saunders-Roe, where he test flew the revolutionary Saro S.R. A/1 single-seat jet flying boat
fighter. On 30 May 1949, while carrying out test pilot duties with Armstrong Whitworth, Jo was
flying the A.W. 52 Flying Wing and became the first pilot to use a Martin-Baker ejection seat in
an emergency. Retiring as a test pilot in 1962, Jo was later involved in aerial crop spraying in the
Middle East before becoming Aviation Manager for Meridian Air Maps, carrying out aerial survey
work from the West Indies to Central Africa and Portugal to Cyprus. By retirement in 1984 Jo
had accumulated 11,000 flying hours on some 150 different aircraft types.
AUTHOR:
David Gunby, through extensive interviews and correspondence with Jo, and complimented with
diligent archive research, has written a highly detailed account of this outstanding aviator. 'First
Out in Earnest', featuring numerous previously unpublished photographs, is the remarkable
account of a life dedicated to flying by one of the rapidly diminishing number of survivors from
the golden age in British aviation.

Air Commodore John Langer's career has been eventful to say the least. During the Second
World War he flew gliders in India in preparation for airborne assaults in Burma, one of the most
perilous landscapes to pass across during this time. Post-war, he served on a fighter squadron in
Germany and in Malaya, where he was recommended for an AFC. Later on, he commanded No
43 (F) Squadron, the famous 'Fighting Cocks', and was awarded the AFC. As a Group Captain, he
commanded RAF Valley and was awarded the CBE. He ended his RAF career as director of Flying
Training where he set up the first team of the Red Arrows. By career's end, he had flown fifty-six
different types of aircraft.
On leaving the RAF, he became the Civil Aviation Security Adviser to the UK Government,
serving for eight years as a Crown Servant and a further seven years as a consultant. He was a
frequent advisor to the Cabinet Office Briefing Room 'A' (Cobra), consulting with members of the
cabinet on national and international aviation matters in the wake of a series of security and
terrorist emergencies. In 1993 he was appointed Duty Lieutenant for Greater London, with
responsibilities for the borough of Hillingdon, location of both Heathrow and Northolt airport. He
looked after members of the Royal Family in their departures from these airports and became a
good friend of Princess Diana, chaperoning her on a number of solo outings. Interesting details
relating to some of their exchanges are included here.
This is a unique autobiography, taking in a vast spectrum of events and experiences. It is also an
important record of political, aviation and social history and should appeal to enthusiasts of all
these areas of interest.
AUTHOR:
Jonny Langer served in the RAF for thirty-seven years and his love of flying is obvious from his
writings. After the RAF, he became an Aviation Security Adviser who helped to develop the
security measures for both airlines and airports which are still in use today. His legacy is that civil
flying is safer today than it was when hijacks and other attacks were almost everyday
occurrences. He has retired to the country where he enjoys, not the peace of the countryside,
but the noise of the aircraft operating from nearby RAF Brize Norton.

Emerging from modern history as a remarkable and much-loved family, the Mitfords have
remained largely unrepentant concerning theirs and particularly Unity's enthusiastic support of
Hitler, the Nazis, Oswald Mosley and British fascism. However, having initially encouraged and
supported Unity's affair with Hitler, they subsequently insisted that she had in fact been a rather
unintelligent, clumsy lump of a girl, whose virginal relationship with one of the most terrifying
dictators of all time was a mere unrequited romantic obsession. As this book will show, nothing
could be further from the truth. Following further research and reexamination of the family's,
friends' and journalists' often contradictory evidence, plus new information supplied by the
author's own family and friends, 'Hitler's Valkyrie' will reveal that while Unity was, like Hitler, an
extreme fantasist, there was very little of the juvenile romantic about her. On the contrary, she
was highly intelligent, free-spirited and athletic. She was also the only Englishwoman who came
close to being capable of changing the course of the Second World War.
Here David R.L. Litchfield untangles the decades-old web of intrigue surrounding Unity Mitford
and one of the most dangerous men of all time, creating a fascinating book of unparalleled
importance to the Mitford legacy.
AUTHOR:
David R. L. Litchfield is a writer, journalist, and documentary filmmaker. He has written for
Rolling Stone, Tatler, and the Times.
REVIEWS:
"[Litchfield's] account of how Unity became an intimate part of Hitler’s inner circle, one of the few
to use the familiar 'du' in addressing him, is gripping ..." —Martin Rubin, The Washington Times

A Boy Soldier's Adventures from the Streets of 1920s Dublin to Buckingham Palace, WWII and
the Egyptian Revolution
When he was just eight years old, Paddy Rochford enrolled at Dublin's Royal Hibernian Military
School, where he was taught how to be a soldier with the British Army, like his father. Soon
afterwards, in 1922, he and his fellow pupils were evacuated from Ireland, a land torn apart by
civil war. Across the sea in England, Paddy joined the Third Battalion of the Coldstream Guards
as a drummer boy, with postings to Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, the Bank of England
and the Tower of London, where he guarded the Royal Family and Britain's treasures. In the
1930s, as thousands of Jewish families fled Nazi Germany, Paddy was sent to Jerusalem,
charged with keeping the peace between the local Arabs and the Jewish immigrants. During the
Second World War, he was part of the Western Desert Campaign in Egypt, defending British
territories. After countless wartime adventures, the young sergeant went on to train the Egyptian
Army, where a bond of friendship grew between him and the future president, Colonel
Nasser.Learning Nasser's plans to oust the British from Egypt, Paddy tried in vain to warn his
superiors prior to the bloody revolution of 1952, which signalled the end of British supremacy in
the Middle East. Paddy retired from the army soon afterwards, moving his young family to
Yorkshire, where he began writing these, his enthralling memoirs about a young boy who spent
a lifetime growing into his boots.
AUTHOR:
Following his retirement from the British Army, Paddy Rochford began chronicling his fascinating
life stories. As a boy soldier he traveled from Ireland to England and onwards to the trouble-torn
Middle East, facing danger wherever he went. In a bid to finally escape the horrors of war, he
began putting pen to paper, but he passed away before he had finished.

Neville Florian Usborne entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1897. In the years between him
joining up and the outbreak of the First World War, he engaged in a huge number of enterprises
and endeavours. Praise and respect garnered in accordance with his achievements all helped to
establish his reputation in later years as an 'irreplaceable' pioneer and a leading light of early
British airship design. His fertile imagination and enterprising spirit fused to form a dynamic
personality, able in wartime to draw up countless schemes in an effort to outwit the enemy.
His chief task during the Great War was to dream up new tactics and designs to combat the
Zeppelin menace, perceived as one of the most damaging threats of the entire conflict. He was
also deeply involved in the design of the very successful SS and Coastal Class airships; indeed,
during 1915 he was actually appointed Inspector Commander of Airships at the Admiralty.
Unfortunately, his illustrious career was destined to be cut short in 1916 when he was killed
testing a prototype of one of his own designs. This new biography seeks to shine a light on an
overlooked pioneer of early aviation and it does so in entertaining and reverential style. The
importance of Usborne the pioneer is made plain; as one of his contemporaries commented upon
his death "No one can talk of the early days of British airship design without mention of his name
and work. A personality was lost on that February day which was irreplaceable."

The paperback edition of the first biography of Pamela Jackson, the most private of the famous
Mitford sisters
Pamela Jackson, nee Mitford, is perhaps the least well known of the illustrious Mitford sisters, yet
her story is just as captivating, and more revealing. Despite shunning the bright city lights that
her sisters so desperately craved, she was very much involved in the activities of her
extraordinary family, picking up the many pieces when things went disastrously wrong – which
they so often did. Joining her sisters on many adventures, including their meeting with Adolf
Hitler in Nazi Germany, Pamela quietly observed the bizarre, funny and often tragic events that
took place around her. Through her eyes, we are given a view of the Mitfords never seen
before.
'Loyal to the core,' she possessed 'the constancy and kindness that underpinned the wilder
exploits of the Mitford family. Indeed, innocence, along with courage and kindness, was one of
her remarkable qualities. But it was the innocence of a woman who had lived and suffered, loved
and lost, and overcome adversity'. Journalist Diana Alexander, who was Pamela's friend for
many years, here reveals the unknown Mitford, or, as her lifelong admirer John Betjeman
described her, 'Gentle Pamela'.

A revealing look at how ordinary citizens were plucked from the hardscrabble 1930s and
hurriedly turned into flyers—young men then pitted against each other in deadly machines miles
above the ground in Europe. Ray Brim led the way for thousands of his compatriots in the type
of "total war” in the skies that we will never see again . . .
In this engaging book we see how an 18-year-old miner shovelling ore from deep in the ground
in Utah suddenly found himself, only two years later, 30,000 feet in the air over Nazi Germany,
piloting a Flying Fortress in the first wave of America's air counteroffensive in Europe. Like
thousands of other young Americans, Ray Brim was plucked by the U.S. Army to be a combat
flyer, and was quickly pitted against the hardened veterans of the Luftwaffe. Brim turned out to
have a natural knack for flying, however, and was assigned to the select squadron developing
lead Pathfinder techniques, while experimenting with radar. He was among the first to test the
teeth of the Luftwaffe's defences, and once those techniques had been honed, thousands of
other bomber crews would follow into the maelstrom, from which 80,000 never returned. This
work gives us vivid insights into the genesis of the American air campaign, told with the humour,
attention to detail and humility that captures the heart and soul of our "Greatest Generation."
Brim was one of the first Pathfinder pilots to fly both day and night missions leading bomb
groups of 600-plus bombers to their targets. At the onset of his missions in the spring of 1943,
B-17 crews were given a 50-50 chance of returning. Each of his raids were nerve-wracking
forays into the unknown; with struggles to survive the damage to his plane due to flak and
German fighter attacks, in order to bring his 10-man crew home, often wounded but still alive.
After Germany's surrender, Brim held a number of commands during the Korean War and flew
B-17 drone planes during atomic tests, in which the Pentagon wished to see the effects of
nuclear fallout on aircraft. Surprisingly having lived on into his 90s, Colonel Brim has provided us
a fascinating firsthand memoir of frontline air war during the 20th century.
SELLING POINTS:
• Describes the initial development of the US Pathfinder system, with the author a prime guinea
pig over Germany, as well as in test radar
• Firsthand accounts of air combat as Brim's B-17 was often shot up by the Luftwaffe, but he
managed to continually limp it home
• An interesting epilogue of how then-Colonel Brim, after WWII, was assigned to test aircraft
during atomic blasts, as the US experimented with what it then considered its "war-winning"
weapon

Before Pedro Martinez was the eight-time All Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner, and
World Series champion, before stadiums full of fans chanted his name, he was just a little kid
from the Dominican Republic who sat under a mango tree and dreamed of playing pro ball. Now
in Pedro, the charismatic and always colorful pitcher opens up for the first time to tell his
remarkable story.
Martinez entered the big leagues a scrawny power pitcher with a lightning arm who they said
wasn't "durable" enough, who they said was a punk. But what they underestimated about Pedro
Martinez was the intensity of the fire inside. Like no one before or since, Martinez willed himself
to become one of the most intimidating pitchers to have ever played the game.
In Pedro we relive it all in Technicolor brightness, from his hardscrabble days in the minor
leagues clawing for respect; to his early days in lonely Montreal, where he first struggled with
the reputation of being a headhunter; to his legendary run with the Red Sox when start after
start he dazzled with his pitching genius; to his twilight years on the mound as he put the
finishing touches on a body of work that made him an icon.
Bold, outspoken, intimate in its details, and grand in ego and ambition, this new memoir by one
of baseball's most enigmatic figures will entertain and inspire generations of fans to come.

Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block . . . for the fourth time. California's
Newport Beach is her family's latest perch, and she's determined to shuck her brainy loner

becomes more difficult as Iran makes U.S. headlines with protests, revolution, and finally the
taking of American hostages. Even mood rings and puka shell necklaces can't distract Cindy from
the anti-Iran sentiments that creep way too close to home. A poignant yet light-hearted middle

Every Middle Schooler Should Know' helps students in grades 6 to 8 (ages 11-14) to express
themselves with distinction and get the most out of school.
The 100 words are varied and interesting, ranging from verbs like muster and replenish to nouns
like havoc and restitution to adjectives like apprehensive and imperious. Knowing these words
enables students to express themselves with greater clarity and subtlety. Each word has a
definition and a pronunciation and appears with at least one quotation--a moving or dramatic
passage--taken from a book that middle schoolers are assigned in the classroom or enjoy
reading on their own.
Both classic and contemporary works of fiction and nonfiction are represented. Among the
authors are young adult favorites and award-winners such as Kate Di Camillo, Russell Freedman,
Neil Gaiman, E.L. Konigsberg, Lois Lowry, Walter Dean Myers, Katherine Paterson, J. K. Rowling,
and Gary Soto. Readers can see for themselves that the words are used by the very best writers
in the very best books. It stands to reason that they will see them again and again in higher
grades and throughout their lives.
'100 Words Every Middle Schooler Should Know' helps students to gain useful knowledge and
prepares them to step into a broader world.

In the sprawling African scrub desert of Etosha National Park, they call her “the mother of all
elephants.” Holding binoculars closely to her eyes, American scientist Caitlin O’Connell could not
believe what she was seeing from these African elephants: as the mighty matriarch scanned the
horizon, the other elephants followed suit, stopped midstride, and stood as still as statues.
This observation would guide the scientist to a groundbreaking discovery about elephant
communication: elephants actually listen with their limbs.

In his signature eloquent prose, backed up by thorough research, Russell Freedman tells the

children, but began to doubt the Nazi regime. As older students, the Scholls and a few friends
formed the White Rose, a campaign of active resistance to Hitler and the Nazis. Risking
imprisonment or even execution, the White Rose members distributed leaflets urging Germans to
defy the Nazi government. Their belief that freedom was worth dying for will inspire young

Perrault's Fairy Tales
Author: PERRAULT C

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 144
Category: Child WW
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cceicf+
Translated by A.E.Johnson.
Eight of the twelve tales in this book are from the master hand of Charles Perrault (1628-1703).
Although Perrault enjoyed much distinction in the French literary circle of the late seventeenth
century, his fame today rests upon his authorship of the traditional 'Tales of Mother Goose', or
'Stories of Olden Times'. And it is true to say that as long as there are children to listen
spellbound to the adventures of 'Cinderella', 'Red Riding Hood', and that arch rogue 'Puss in
Boots', his memory will endure.
Three of the tales, 'The Ridiculous Wishes', 'Donkey-Skin' and 'Patient Griselda', are seldom
included in Perrault collections as they were written in a very florid verse form. Not only Perrault,
but Boccaccio, Chaucer and others have used the story of Patient Griselda.
The last story, 'Beauty and the Beast', again not by Perrault (it was penned by Mme. Leprince de
Beaumont 1711-1781), has a similarity of style and celebrity which justifiably merits its inclusion.
With the exception of the morals and the three tales taken from verse, the translations are by A.
E. Johnson.
Other stories include:
The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood
Puss in Boots
Little Tom Thumb
The Fairies
Ricky of the Tuft
Cinderella
Little Red Riding Hood
Blue Beard
AUTHOR:
Charles Perrault (1628 - 1703) was a French writer whose fairy stories are so well known that it

The magical Peter Pan comes to the night nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and
Michael. He teaches them to fly, then takes them through the sky to Never-Never Land, where
they find Red Indians, wolves, Mermaids and... Pirates. The leader of the pirates is the sinister
Captain Hook. His hand was bitten off by a crocodile, who, as Captain Hook explains 'liked me
arm so much that he has followed me ever since, licking his lips for the rest of me'. After lots of
adventures, the story reaches its exciting climax as Peter, Wendy and the children do battle with
Captain Hook and his band.
'Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens' is the magical tale that first introduces Peter Pan, the little boy
who never grows any older. He escapes his human form and flies to Kensington Gardens, where
all his happy memories are, and meets the fairies, the thrushes, and Old Caw the crow. The
fairies think he is too human to be allowed to stay in after Lock-out time, so he flies off to an
island which divides the Gardens from the more grown-up Hyde Park - Peter's adventures, and
how he eventually meets Mamie and the goat, are delightfully illustrated by Arthur Rackham.

A veiled love story between men and birds in Istanbul
A symbol of schism and confluence, a transcontinental city, Istanbul has always been the
inspiration for great stories. But this is not a story about Istanbul; it is a story from the female
vantage point about how a group of men devote their lives to raising goldfinches and
greenfinches: a mysterious bond full of contradictions, love, possession and pleasure; the
contradictions between the masculine and feminine; the female caress alongside the power of
men; caregivers who compete for the bird that sings the best…
And two women who learn how to listen and speak.

A myth-shattering work that draws on new evidence to reveal the massive enslavement of tens
of thousands of North American Indians, from its beginnings in the early 1500s to its last gasp in
the late 1800s
Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Yet, as
historian Andres Resendez illuminates in 'The Other Slavery', it was practiced for centuries as an
open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of natives who
were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors and later forced to serve as domestics for
Mormons and rich Anglos, or to descend into the "mouth of hell" of eighteenth-century silver
mines, where, if they didn't die quickly from cave-ins, they would die slowly from silica in their
lungs. Resendez builds the incisive, original case that it was mass slavery, more than epidemics,
which decimated Indian populations across North America. New evidence, including testimonies
of courageous priests, rapacious merchants, Indian captives, and Anglo colonists, sheds light on
Indian enslavement of other Indians — as what started as a European business passed into the
hands of indigenous operators and spread like wildfire across vast tracts of the American
Southwest.
'The Other Slavery' is nothing less than a key missing piece of American history, one that
changes an entire national narrative.
AUTHOR:
Andres Resendez is a professor and historian at the University of California, Davis. He is the
author of 'A Land So Strange: The Epic Journey of Cabeza de Vaca', which Carolyn See called
"impossible to put down" (Washington Post Book World).
REVIEWS:
"This eye-opening exposure of the abuse of the indigenous peoples of America is staggering;
that the mistreatment continued into the 20th century is beyond disturbing." - Kirkus January 15
"Every now and then a new book comes along that throws a switch on our historical valences
and makes us see ourselves anew. 'The Other Slavery' is one such book. Much as 'Bury My
Heart at Wounded Knee' did when it first appeared in the early 1970s, Andres Resendez's
carefully sifted work fundamentally reshapes our understanding of a great enduring mystery:
'What really accounts for the swift and tragic demise of our continent's indigenous peoples?'"
—Hampton Sides, author of 'Blood and Thunder' and 'In the Kingdom of Ice'

Documenting a six-year relationship with photos, video stills, letters and ephemera, this book is a
stunning, intimate, and wholly original visual narrative by two rising artists who "put[s] queer
consciousness on the front burner."
Male becomes female. Female becomes male. Life becomes art. Private becomes public. A
major feature of the 2014 Whitney Biennial, this series of photographs that the New York Times
called "extremely provocative" explores ideas of transformation both physical and psychological.
It’s the story of two people in love, in a culture where the notion of gender has become more
fluid and at a time when trans people have never been more accepted. As both subjects and
creators of these images, Drucker and Ernst, both of whom transitioned gender, represent
themselves in the midst of shifting subjectivities and identities. Collectively, these photographs,
which have been compared to the work of Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, and Cindy Sherman,
document the story of their romantic and creative collaboration over a period of six years.
Simultaneously narrative and documentary, they touch on a host of dynamics, offering
autobiography as ambiguity and unravelling identity as a construction.
AUTHOR:
Zackary Drucker and Rhys Ernst are artistic collaborators living in Los Angeles. They are
Co-Producers of the Amazon television series Transparent, and creators of the Emmy-nominated
docu-series This Is Me.

In 1903, Adolf Loos, one the sharpest and most influential architects and critics of the 20th
century, edited the astonishing journal 'Das Andere' (The Other), subtitled 'A Journal for the
introduction of Western Culture into Austria'. The journal was entirely written by Loos who also
did the graphic design and even the advertisements. Nothing was off limits, from fashion to
masturbation. It is a kind of manual to modern life. Only two issues were published and it was
never translated into English, yet it takes us directly to the heart of Loos's polemical position. It
is one of the most important documents of modernity, a radical and sometimes shocking
statement.
The publication was born out of Loos' aversion to the hypocrisy and superficial aestheticisation of
life in Austria, which he saw embodied by the "Secession" movement and the "Wiener
Werkstatte." As a counterbalance, 'Das Andere' showed Loos' admiration for the fashion and
culture of England and America. He scrutinises every element of contemporary life with an
acerbic wit. This facsimile edition allows today's readers to discover Loos' little magazine 'Das
Andere' anew. Beatriz Colomina supplements the facsimile with an extensive critical introduction.

Now celebrating seventy years of tradition and innovation, Brazilian jeweler H.Stern was
crowned "the king of colored gemstones" by Time magazine. In 1945, Hans Stern fell in love
with precious jewels. At a small office in Rio de Janeiro, he created what was to become the
largest jeweler in Brazil and Latin America—and one of the most celebrated in the world.
H.Stern’s first fifty years are characterised by vivid aquamarine, amethyst, and topaz gems,
mirroring the vivid hues and pulsing energy of Brazil that German-born Stern found so
fascinating when he moved there. Before his influence, the jewelry industry’s focus remained on
diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, but H.Stern’s unique and striking pieces quickly made Brazilian
colored gemstones desirable and valuable.
Current artistic director Roberto Stern, building on the technical foundations laid down by his
father, has led the company into the present, collaborating with some of the world’s most
fascinating creative minds—from Tim Burton to Diane von Furstenberg to Grupo Corpo—to design
spellbinding collections for the modern woman. While continuing to emphasize Hans Stern’s value
of craftsmanship, today’s H.Stern is defined by subtle yet daring and inventive pieces—the
glittering results of Roberto Stern’s goal to "do something that’s outstanding."

A fantastic collection of portraits of the most famous "masters of the catwalk", in a fascinating
journey among the mythical figures of haute couture and pret-a-porter, from their origins to the
present day: from the timeless class of Coco Chanel to the aristocratic but innovative spirit of
Elsa Schiaparelli, who is credited with the invention of the fashion show as we know it today, up
to the glamour of Tom Ford and the visionary and alternative creativity of Alexander McQueen.
The book reviews all the major designers of the last century and this one that has just begun.
The illuminating contributions of an expert in the field, with pictures, accounts and entertaining
anecdotes that go behind the scenes of some of the most famous catwalks, magically recall the
lives, personalities and immortal creations of the best known names from the world of fashion,
characters who through their inspiration, imagination, energy and innate sense of elegance have
left an indelible mark, bringing to life an inimitable style. Retracing their experiences in words
and images, the evolution of fashion is sketched out and the way in which its representation was
changed through the introduction of the fashion show is illustrated: that is, the presentation of
the new collection in an atmosphere rendered evocative by the use of music or art. This is the
climax of a long and laborious process, a whole season of creativity. It truly is the catwalk, in
front of the gaze of the audience, which is entrusted with the task of interpreting the intentions
of the designer, as it reveals, as if by magic, the genius of these icons of elegance and the
almost alchemic miracle of the creation in all its splendour.

Louise Dahl-Wolfe transformed and modernised the look of fashion magazines in the thirties,
forties and fifties, the period during which she was active, and hence played a significant role in
providing the world of fashion with a new image. Similarly, she breathed fresh life into the
portraits of Hollywood stars and was regularly mentioned in the same sentence as the most
prestigious photographers of her time, such as Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, George
Hoyningen-Huene, Irving Penn or Martin Munka csi, later influencing others who would earn
global fame, such as Richard Avedon.
This book spans the extent of her career as a fashion photographer and includes a large
selection of her photographs for Harper's Bazaar, where she worked for two decades, as well as
her most emblematic front covers. But it also features her portraits and nudes, an aspect of her
oeuvre which has been largely overlooked. Together, these photographs reveal the changes
experienced by our society and lifestyle in the middle of the turbulent twentieth century.
AUTHOR:
Dahl-Wolfe developed most of her photographic career between 1936 and 1958, her years at
Harper's Bazaar, where she published more than 600 colour and 3,000 black and white
photographs, as well as 86 front covers. In 1938 the magazine sent her to Hollywood to
photograph famous actors and actresses, and she broke the mold of cliched studio portraits
opting instead to experiment with natural light and to make her subjects pose in outdoor
locations. From that point onward she was sent to Hollywood every year to photograph the
greatest acting celebrities of the time, such as Vivien Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, Carole Lombard,
Bette Davis, Ginger Rogers, Orson Welles and Charles Boyer. Portraiture was a genre the artist
kept exploring frequently during the course of her career, compiling a significant archive of
photographs of playwrights, composers, artists, film directors and writers including the likes of
Jean Cocteau, Colette, Lotte Lenya and Kurt Weill, Christopher Isherwood and W.H. Auden,
Edward Hopper, Isamu Noguchi, Carson McCullers, Andre Malraux and Yves Montand.

The United States, China, and Russia eye each other across a twenty-first century version of the
Cold War, which suddenly heats up at sea, on land, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace.
The fighting involves everything from stealthy robotic–drone strikes to old warships from the
navy's "ghost fleet." Fighter pilots unleash a Pearl Harbor–style attack; American veterans
become low-tech insurgents; teenage hackers battle in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley
billionaires mobilize for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta. Ultimately,
victory will depend on blending the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future.
'Ghost Fleet' is a page-turning speculative thriller in the spirit of The Hunt for Red October. The
debut novel by two leading experts on the cutting edge of national security, it is unique in that
every trend and technology featured in the novel — no matter how sci-fi it may seem — is real,
or could be soon.

future that you'll find hard to forget." —Nina Jacobson, Producer of The Hunger Games

To all appearances Jack Swann is a typical gentleman of the Regency period; educated, cultured
and affluent. In his early thirties, he is an attractive and eligible bachelor, with all the resources
needed to live a privileged life. Haunted by the murder of his father twenty years earlier - the
perpetrators of which have never been caught - Swann has, however, turned his back on this
world and chosen instead to fight crime as 'The Regency Detective', an unofficial consulting
detective to the Bow Street Runners in London. Arriving in Bath for a family funeral, Swann finds
several reasons for staying in the city: to protect Mary, his sister, from the mysterious Lockhart;
to find the 'Scarred Man', who might lead him to his father's killer; and to end the reign of terror
by Wicks, the local underworld boss who, in turn, sets out to have Swann assassinated.

First published in 1987, this revised and updated release unveils to a new generation of readers
what might have happened had the main forces of the United States and Russia engaged in full
confrontational warfare in Europe . . .
This revised and updated edition of the classic Cold War novel Team Yankee reminds us once
again might have occurred had the United States and its Allies taken on the Russians in Europe,
had cooler geopolitical heads not prevailed. For 45 years after World War II, East and West
stood on the brink of war. When Nazi Germany was destroyed, it was evident that Russian tank
armies had become supreme in Europe, but only in counterpart to US air power. In 1945 US and
UK bombers sent a signal to the advancing Russians at Dresden to beware of what the Allies
could do. Likewise when the Russians overran Berlin they sent a signal to the Allies what their
land armies could accomplish. Thankfully the tense standoff continued on either side of the Iron
Curtain for nearly half a century. During those years, however, the Allies beefed up their ground
capability, while the Soviets increased their air capability, even as the new jet and missile age
began (thanks much to captured German scientists on both sides). The focal point of conflict
remained central Germany-specifically the flat plains of the Fulda Gap-through which the
Russians could pour all the way to the Channel if the Allies proved unprepared (or unable) to
stop them.
Team Yankee posits a conflict that never happened, but which very well might have, and for
which both sides prepared for decades. This former New York Times bestseller by Harold Coyle,
now revised and expanded, presents a glimpse of what it would have been like for the Allied
soldiers who would have had to meet a relentless onslaught of Soviet and Warsaw Pact divisions.
It takes the view of a US tank commander, who is vastly outnumbered during the initial
onslaught, as the Russians pull out all the cards learned in their successful war against Germany.
Meantime Western Europe has to speculate behind its thin screen of armour whether the New
World can once again assemble its main forces-or willpower-to rescue the bastions of democracy
in time.
SELLING POINTS:
• Formerly a NY Times bestseller, Team Yankee has now been updated with the latest
knowledge of each side's plans, technical capabilities, and armoured and air deployments at the
time
• A thrilling, you-are-there read, as the initial screen of Allied forces in Europe try to hold on
until the "air-bridge” of WWII from the US can be re-engineered
• An eye-opening reminder of what great-power warfare truly entails, even if during the Cold
War itself it did not come to pass

The concept of clean eating is becoming increasingly popular among adults, however it is the
children who are the most vulnerable to additives and nasty toxins such as sugar, found in
unhealthy, processed, and fast food. Because children are still growing and developing, it's
important they consume adequate vitamins and nutrients through their diets. Children are, after
all, our future. The concept is simple: using fresh ingredients in their natural state. We say
goodbye to gluten, wheat germ, refined sugar, and genetically modified oils, as these can be
addictive, acidic, deplete energy, and can cause sluggishness, mood swings, and hyperactive
behaviour in children. 'Feeding the Future' is a glossy lifestyle/cookbook filled with inspiring
recipes that all children- from those aged two to grown-up "kidults"- will love. These recipes are

100 Cambodian- and Southeast Asian-inspired recipes from New York's favourite sandwich shop
In a city with so many great sandwich shops, Num Pang Sandwich Shop is a standout in New
York, receiving high praise from numerous sources including Bon Appetit and Zagat. First opened
in 2009 by Ratha Chaupoly and Ben Daitz, the restaurant introduced New York City to
Cambodian-inspired sandwiches and sides. Today, there are six locations in the city with more in
the works. Num Pang sandwiches are similar to Vietnamese banh mi, but what makes them so
special is the inventive fillings, ranging from Glazed Five-Spice Pork Belly to Seared Coconut
Tiger Shrimp to Hoisin Meatballs. The book provides recipes for all the fan favourites as well as
ones for condiments like Pickled Five-Spice Asian Pears, sides like the Sambal Chili–Glazed
Chicken Wings, soups and stews like Curried Red Lentil Soup, salads like Green Papaya Salad,
and drinks like Cambodian Iced Coffee. With touches of graffiti art inspired by the chain's
signature urban, hip-hop style, Num Pang looks just as bold as the mouth watering recipes taste.
AUTHOR:
In 2009, Ratha Chaupoly and Ben Daitz opened up the Num Pang Sandwich shop, which sells

SELLING POINTS:
• Untapped cuisine: Interest in Asian food, from food trucks to food festivals, seems to be at an

Big-flavoured vegetarian dishes from around the globe, from the James Beard Award– and IACP
Award–winning author Marie Simmons
The best of our vegetarian recipes have always drawn inspiration from other cultures. In 'Whole
World Vegetarian', Marie Simmons follows her culinary wanderlust, bringing together a collection
of bold, imaginative dishes and seamlessly adapting them to contemporary tables.
Cooks can expect a wealth of sumptuous options: rice- and corn-stuffed poblano chilies;
Greek-style mac-and-cheese with summer squash; Indonesian vegetable salad with peanut
dressing. Even the homiest dishes deliver rich rewards, like South American pumpkin–black bean
stew with prunes. All have fresh twists: In a zucchini lasagne, squash replaces pasta, and a cold
beet soup is replete with chopped fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and apples. A Persian herb
omelette gets an unexpected lift with baking powder. From a quick and little-known dip of
Iranian yogurt, spinach, and caramelized onions garnished with toasted walnuts to shakshuka, a
spicy Tunisian ratatouille crowned with poached eggs and fresh herbs, all become accessible and
inviting under Simmons' guidance.

The Most Beautiful Gardens Ever Written:

RRP: $27.99

Are gardens anything more than collections of plants? Spaces for leisure activities? Extensions
that protect the private house from the public road? Art objects appreciated by a relatively small
group of connoisseurs? To consider such questions this guidebook invites readers on a tour of ten
beautiful gardens as depicted in thousands and thousands of pages of fiction written by the most
skilful of novelists over a period of almost a millennium.
From Murasaki Shikibu's Tale of Genji and the evermysterious Hypnerotomachia Poliphili to such
Chinese masterpieces as the Chin P'ing Mei and Cao Xuequin's Story of the Stone and on through
the works of famous English, European, Australian, and American writers, these novels
compound gardens as they exist within the culture of the times with the specific needs of fiction,
tackling everything from planting plans to the activities that take place within the garden
confines.
When novelists write the garden it is revealed, again and again, as the site of peccadilloes that
define the state of being human, and while these written gardens may not be places we would
ever wish to visit, should they actually exist, a consideration of their role in defining humanity
provides yet another way to experience and appreciate any real gardens we happen to
encounter.

"The trial which terminated yesterday...revealed one of the strangest and most horrible stories
possibly ever told in a court of justice." (Morning Post).
When the news broke in 1871 of a series of mysterious poisonings in Brighton, shock and horror
gripped the Victorian public. Even more disturbing was the revelation that the culprit was not a
common criminal but rather a local 'lady of fortune' called Christiana Edmunds.
From March 1871 Christiana had sent out dozens of poisoned chocolates and sweets to Brighton's
residents. Her campaign resulted in the death of four-year-old holidaymaker Sidney Barker, and
wounded countless others. Her arrest in August 1871 provoked such an emotional response from
the local public that her trial was moved from Brighton to London's Old Bailey.
The prosecution anticipated an easy victory. Christiana had not confessed, but witnesses
confirmed that she had purchased strychnine and their testimonies placed her at the scene of the
crimes. She had a motive too, argued the prosecution; she was a scorned woman. Despite the
best efforts of the defence, the jury took only one hour to convict her of the murder of Sidney
Barker and the attempted murder of three others. In a last dramatic twist, Christiana was
reprieved after being declared insane by the Home Office and lived out her days in Broadmoor.
Alongside Christiana's case, the book will offer a snapshot of life in Brighton, one of Victorian
England's busiest and most popular leisure resorts. However, this wholesome holiday destination
also had a steamy underworld of sexual licence, which reached even seemingly secure
middle-class young women.

Kaye Jones studied history at the University of Manchester and her dissertation on Victorian
murderesses was published shortly after. She has written three titles for the History In An Hour

Some twenty-five years after its conclusion, yet with its echoes resonating once more in
contemporary East-West relations, the rigors and detail of many aspects of the Cold War are
becoming increasingly of interest. Furthermore, at the very same time many of the records of
the period are beginning to become accessible for the first time. At the forefront of this unique
conflict, that divided the world into two opposing camps for over four decades, were the security
services and the agents of these secretive organisations. 'The Cold War Pocket Manual' presents
a meticulously compiled selection of recently unclassified documents, field-manuals, briefing
directives and intelligence primers that uncover the training and techniques required to function
as a spy in the darkest periods of modern history. Material has been researched from the CIA,
MI5 and MI6, the KGB, the STASI as well as from the Middle East security services and on into
China and the East. As insightful as any drama these documents detail, amongst many other
things, the directives that informed nuclear espionage, assassinations, interrogations and the
turning of agents and impacted upon the Suez Crisis, the Hungarian Uprising, the Cambridge Five
and the most tellingly the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Full introduction and commentary
provided by leading historian and former diplomat Philip Parker. Complete with a catalogue of,
and often instructions for, genuine espionage devices including lock decoders, bugging
equipment, a 4.5mm single-shot lipstick gun, microfilm concealing coins and cameras mounted in
clothing or pens and shoe-concealed tracking devices. Presents for the first time the insightful
documents, many of which inspired Cold War novelists including John Le Carre, Len Deighton and
Ian Fleming, and many of which they would never have seen.

Taunton, 1817. What seems a simple newspaper report of "elopement gone wrong" turns out to
be a rollercoaster story of crime, coercion, illusory triumph and fraudulent defeat.
Barrister George Tuckett wakes to discover that his 16-year-old niece Maria Glenn, reputedly the
heiress to West Indian sugar plantations, is missing. He discovers that she has been abducted by
the Bowditches, a local farming family, who intend to force her to marry one of their sons. Maria
is rescued and Tuckett starts investigating the crime himself, uncovering a complex and
disturbing web of lies and impersonation.
At a drama-filled trial that is the talk of the country, four people are sentenced to prison. When a
cabal of powerful people in Taunton begin a campaign to destroy Maria's testimony, her
supporters fall away and she is openly vilified. Her enemies have her arrested for perjury and,
after a ramshackle trial, she is forced to flee into exile. Yet the story of conspiracy and deception
does not end there, as Maria and her uncle were to suffer one final and devastating betrayal.
But was Maria telling the truth? Both sides had given utterly different versions of events during
the trial - so it was clear that someone had to be lying.

dared invent. She has been portrayed as an enchantress; as an unprincipled advancer of her
family's fortunes and a plucky but pitiful queen in Shakespeare's histories. She has been
alternatively championed and vilified by her contemporaries and five centuries of historians,
dramatists and novelists, but what was she really like? In this revealing account of Elizabeth's life
David Baldwin sets out to tell the story of this complex and intriguing woman. Was she the
malign influence many of her critics held her to be? Was she a sorceress who bewitched Edward
IV? What was the fate of her two sons, the 'Princes in the Tower'? What did she, of all people,
think had become of them, and why did Richard III mount a campaign of vilification against her?
David Baldwin traces Elizabeth's career and her influence on the major events of her husband
Edward IV's reign, and in doing so he brings to life the personal and domestic politics of Yorkist
England and the elaborate ritual of court life.

The Second World War challenged many of the concepts that had provided stability and unity in
the world. As totalitarian regimes in Europe and Asia attempted to impose their world view on
their neighbours, a struggle for what Winston Churchill described as 'Christian civilisation' took
place on many fronts. On the home front, on land, on sea and in the air, as well as in the horrific
concentration camps of Europe and prisoner of war camps in the Far East, people of a Christian
faith found their beliefs challenged. However, for many this challenge provided an affirmation of
that faith, as it provided a rock amidst the ever shifting sands of circumstance. This book
contains the accounts of twenty such individuals, many drawn from previously unpublished
sources. Their testimonies provide evidence that during a time of discord, disruption, dislocation
and death, the Christian faith remained a key force in sustaining morale and a willingness to fight
the good fight.

The Industrial Revolution in Shropshire

Category: History
RRP: $49.99

The first edition of this book, published in 1973, was greeted with universal acclaim by reviewers
around the world. Its scholarship was one of the foundations of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum
and firmly established the importance of the Shropshire Coalfield as a cradle of the Industrial
Revolution. It made the monuments of the Gorge a source of pride to Salopians and objects of
attention for historians and archaeologists from all parts of the world. The book has become a
classic of industrial, social and local history.
Dr Trinder provides a full account of the social and economic history of the area between 1660
and 1860. Changes in ironmaking, upon which new light has been thrown since the last edition
appeared, are examined in detail, in parallel with the development of transport systems and
steam engines. The origins of William Reynold's ‘new town' of Coalport and the career of John
Fletcher, vicar of Madelely, are fully explained and described, while the ways in which the people
of the area found identity in their work, in their homes and in
their religious and recreational
activities are perceptively analysed.
This is the book which helped to make Ironbridge a place of international pilgrimage, and
provides an unmatched account, in 21st-century terms, of why the Shropshire Coalfield is
regarded as one of the birthplaces of modern industrial civilisation.
AUTHOR:
Barrie Trinder is an international authority on the history of industry, the editor of the first
encyclopedia of industrial Archaeology, of the standard work on the industrial landscapes of
England and Wales, and of the first comprehensive survey of 20th-century industrial archaeology
in Britain. He spent thirty years teaching in Shropshire and was closely associated with the
Ironbridge Gorge Museum, serving as the Museum's honorary historian until 1990.

Solving the Murder of Dr Helen Davidson

A cold case for over four decades, the brutal murder of Dr Helen Davidson is finally solved by an
amateur sleuth
On 9 November 1966, popular GP Dr Helen Davidson was battered to death in dense woodland
whilst bird watching and exercising her dog a few miles from her Buckinghamshire home. Her
body was found the next day, her eyes having been pushed into her skull. The basic facts were
published in The Times to the Bucks Free Press: 'She had binoculars round her neck, spied illicit
lovers, was spotted, and one or both of them killed her,' surmised Detective Chief Inspector Jack
'Razor' Williams of New Scotland Yard. He had received fifty police commendations in his career,
yet not one for a murder enquiry. Unsurprisingly, within weeks the police operation was wound
down, Williams retired, and another Cold Case hit the statistics.
However, fifty years later amateur sleuth and author Monica Weller set about solving the murder
– without the help of the prohibited files. As she sifted the fresh evidence, a number of suspects
and sinister motives began to emerge. Not a random killing, then. She uncovered secret
passions, deep jealousies, unusual relationships and a victim with a dark past. Finally, her
persistence and dedication were dramatically rewarded when she uncovered the identity of the
murderer – revealed here for the first time.
AUTHOR:
Monica Weller co-wrote 'Ruth Ellis: My Sister's Secret Life', in which she unveiled fresh evidence
about the last woman to be hanged in the UK. She continues to campaign in her search for the
truth, re-examining evidence upon which Ellis was convicted and hanged in 1955, and is the
foremost authority on the subject. 'Injured Parties' is her second true crime book.
SELLING POINTS:
• Weller demonstrates a Miss Marple-like talent and a flair for investigative research
• 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of Dr Davidson's murder
• To get to the truth, she gathered fresh testimony from a key police officer and a forensic
pathologist, both of whom had worked on the case in the 60s, and from previously
uninterviewed witnesses
• Reveals a police force that ignored evidence that did not fit its theory of a random killing

Did Richard, Duke of York, the younger of the Princes on the Tower, survive his imprisonment?
In this revealing new book medieval historian David Baldwin presents this original and intriguing
scenario:
On 27 December 1550 an old man named Richard Plantagenet was buried at Eastwell in Kent. He
had spent much of his life working as a bricklayer at St John's Abbey, Colchester, but, unusually
for a bricklayer, he could read Latin. Reluctant to give any account of his background, he
eventually told his employer that he was a natural son of Richard III. Yet, if this was true, why
was he not publicly acknowledged by the king? Richard III made provision for his other bastards,
John of Gloucester and Katherine. The fact that he was called Richard Plantagenet is also
revealing. Had he simply been Richard III's bastard, he would have been styled 'of Gloucester' or
given the name of his birthplace. And, most tellingly of all, where is the evidence that Prince
Richard actually died? David Baldwin opens up an entirely new line of investigation and offers a
startling solution to one of the most enduring mysteries in English history and a final exoneration
for Richard III.
AUTHOR:
David Baldwin is a medieval historian who teaches courses for the public at Leicester University's
Vaughan College. He has written widely on aristocratic families and houses and is a frequent

An emotional chain of passion-betrayal-jealousy-revenge-death, expressed with terms such as
murder for love, crimes of passion and honour killings, with the synonyms for murder and
passion combined at will.
Key events are framed by a triangle, where each corner corresponds to a protagonist in the
drama. The story's action often lies in the elimination of one of the two protagonists (sometimes
both), and more than one protagonist may play the role of murderer, victim and object of
desire. The motive: jealousy, plain and simple. But not only that: frequently, for instance, one of
the protagonists, whose presence stops the other two from freely indulging in their passion, will
be eliminated.
This book collects their stories – stories about humanity stricken by their senses, by
hallucinations of possession, insecurity, fear, violent impulses, uncontrollable emotions and at
times even ice-cold opportunism. Consequences brought to extremes.
Though it wouldn't dare claim to be exhaustive – no book can possibly contain the entire
universe of passion – this volume can help us get to know and recognise one of the most
fascinating and blood chilling sides of human nature.

'The Map Makers' World' illuminates the fascinating cultural history of European world maps:
what do historical world maps tell of us of our perception of the world and of places and peoples
that are foreign to us? Who were the makers of these early world maps? How were the maps
created and for whom were they drawn and printed? For what purposes were they used? What
kind of information did they pass on? The answers to these questions open up a fascinating
narrative of discovery and cartography relating not only to ideology and political power but also
the histories of art and science. Rigorously researched and informed by latest academic findings,
'The Map Makers World' is beautifully illustrated presenting some 300 maps from the world's
finest museums, libraries and private collections. The book gives us a revealing and captivating
perspective on the development of European world maps from the Early Middle Ages up until the
modern period, i.e. from the 8th century until the end of the 18th century.
This is a major work which ambitiously showcases all of the early European world map traditions:
Medieval world maps (T-O maps, mappa mundis, Beatus maps, etc.); Ptolemy's maps; seafarers
maps (portolan charts, planispheres and nautical charts), printed world maps and globes from
the pre-Renaissance through to the Baroque era.
Furthermore, it takes its readers through the history of European global discovery and
cartographic research, and also brings to life the exciting times when many of these historical
maps were first discovered in the 19th century, after centuries of oblivion. The volume includes
dedicated features further exploring 100 of the most important cartographic masterpieces from
the period. The book is written as an exciting, flowing narrative, rather than a catalogue or an
encyclopaedia.

The development of forensic pathology in Britain is told here through the lives of five outstanding
medical pioneers. Spanning seventy years, their careers and achievements marked major
milestones in the development of legal medicine, their work and innovation layinh the
foundations for modern crime scene investigation (CSI).
Bernard Spilsbury, Sydney Smith and Professors Glaister, Camps and Simpson were the original
expert witnesses. Between them, they performed over 200,000 post-mortems during their
professional careers, establishing crucial elements of murder investigation such as time, place
and cause of death.
This forensic quintet featured in many of the notable murder trials of their time, making
ground-breaking discoveries in the process. They were treated as celebrities by the media, and
news that they were "on the case" featured in numerous headlines. In the best traditions of
scholarship, they also worked as teachers, passing on their knowledge and experience to future
pathologists.

Relics of the Reich is the story of what happened to the buildings the Nazis left behind. Hitler's
Reich may have been defeated in 1945 but many buildings, military installations and other sites
remained. At the end of the War, some were obliterated by the victorious Allies but others
survived. For almost fifty years, these were left crumbling and ignored with post-war and divided
Germany unsure what to do with them, often fearful that they might become shrines for
neo-Nazis. Since the early 1990s, Germans have come to terms with these iconic sites and their
uncomfortable part. Some sites are even listed buildings. Relics of the Reich visits many of the
buildings and structures built or adapted by the Nazis and looks at what has happened since 1945
to try to discover what it tells us about Germany's attitude to Nazism now. It also acts as a
commemoration of mankind's deliverance from a dark decade and serves as renewal of our
commitment to ensure history does not repeat itself.

Hull was first built as a port by the Cistercian monks of Meaux Abbey, to export wool from their
rapidly expanding sheep flocks. Before the end of the 13th century Hull had been acquired by
Edward I, who developed it as a royal port, and from then on Hull has been one of the country's
most important ports. The port makes Hull a highly defensible strategic position. In the 17th
century Hull's defiance of King Charles I helped drag the country into civil war, while on Town
Taking Day, celebrated in Hull for more than a century after the event, Hull's foiling of a Catholic
plot lost James the whole of north England. Hull established a reputation as a centre of
Puritanism, condemning theatre-going, gambling, drinking and idleness. The saying 'From Hull,
Hell, and Halifax, Good Lord deliver us', indicated the ferocious treatment vagrants could expect
in the town. For Hull's puritans, poverty and sin were very closely related and often required
similar treatment. By the time of Queen Victoria's accession Hull was six times as large as it had
been in 1700, but after the First World War Hull lost its place as the third largest port in the
country, and since the Second World War, in which more than 90 per cent of all Hull's houses
were either damaged or destroyed, Hull could recover only slowly. More recently, unemployment
is still about twice the national average, and terrible flooding in 2007 left parts of the city
uninhabitable. Nevertheless, Hull remains one of the country's largest and most important ports
and this history of its trade, religious and political controversy, architecture, pirates and de la
Poles is well researched, beautifully illustrated, and sure to please both Hull's inhabitants and
visitors alike.

Steven Spielberg please note.
Who will you meet on the journey? Well, there's the usual myriad of lovable characters, from Big
Derek the doorman and Mr Dar the tailor to 'Caribbean-singing Henry' and cross-dressing
'Doreen'; and not forgetting Cecil the resident barman at 'Mucky Mary's'; Marlene the prostitute,
and 'old Fred' the tramp. Among the less savoury are Mr Dirty Bastard, Mr Car Thief, Mr
Money-grabber aka Nasty Pimp, Mr Sticky Fingers the burglar and Mr Nasty the rapist; and
several 'perverts' of the worst kind.
As usual, Martyn's down-to-earth honesty and humour shines through the pages; but he never
loses sight of the human condition in all its forms: good, bad, sad and happy.

During the second World War, the only way Winston Churchill and his American counterpart
Franklin D. Roosevelt could communicate was via a top secret transatlantic telephone link. All
other Atlantic telephone cables had been disconnected to prevent the Germans intercepting
information. Ruth Ive, then a young stenographer working in the Ministry of Information, had
the job of censoring the line, and she spent the rest of the war listening in to the conversations
across the Atlantic, ready to cut the line if anything was said that might compromise security.
Ruth was sworn to secrecy about her work, and at the end of the war all documentation proving
the existence of the telephone line was destroyed. It was not until 1995, when Churchill's private
files were finally declassified, that Ruth was able to research her story. Now, for the first time,
one of the second World War's key workers describes the details of her incredible story, and the
private conversations of two of the war's most important players can be revealed.

RRP: $24.99
9HSKFOE*hafcgf+
A masterpiece of warrior wisdom that shows how to overcome obstacles with positive action. The
best-selling author, Navy SEAL, and humanitarian Eric Greitens offers a self-help book unlike any
other.
Two years ago, Eric Greitens unexpectedly heard from a former SEAL comrade, a
brother-in-arms he hadn't seen in a decade. Drew Sheets had been one of the toughest of the
tough. But ever since he returned home from war to his young family in a small logging town,
he'd been struggling. Without a sense of purpose, plagued by PTSD, and masking his pain with
heavy drinking, he needed help. Drew and Eric started writing and talking nearly every day, and
Eric set down his thoughts on what it takes to build resilience in our lives.
Eric's letters-drawing on both his own experience and wisdom from ancient and modern
thinkers-are now gathered and edited into a timeless handbook. They explain how we can build
purpose, confront the pain in our lives, practice compassion, develop our vocations, find a
mentor, create happiness, follow a role model, think about the story of our lives, and much
more.
'Resilience' grapples with real hardship. The lessons are deep, yet practical, and the advice leads
to clear solutions. This is a profoundly hopeful book: We all face pain, difficulty, and doubt. But
with resilience, we can lead vital, flourishing lives.
AUTHOR:
Eric Greitens was born and raised in Missouri. After earning a Ph.D. as a Rhodes Scholar and
serving as a humanitarian volunteer overseas, Eric joined the Navy SEALs. A boxing champion
and a decorated combat veteran, he is the founder of the non-profit The Mission Continues and
the author of the New York Times bestseller 'The Heart and the Fist'. www.erlcgreltens.com
SELLING POINTS:
• Greitens is currently running for governor of Missouri. Beyond that, he is regularly covered for
his charity, The Mission Continues.
• Everyone can relate to this book. Eric has been speaking and giving workshops on resilience,
with the slogan "we do not bounce back, we move through." They have been hugely successful
and in high demand. This is a book for parents, teachers, and adults in need of help. There is
wisdom on every page, and readers will want to keep the book and return to it again and again.

An engrossing guide to seeing – and communicating – more clearly from the groundbreaking
course that helps FBI agents, policemen, CEOs, ER docs, and others save money, reputations,
and lives.
How could looking at Monet's water lily paintings help save your company millions? How can
checking out people's footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an
argument, calm your kid, or catch a thief?
In her celebrated seminar, the Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts
from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look
closely at images, she helps them hone their "visual intelligence," a set of skills we all possess
but few of us know how to use properly. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to
observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when
investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune
500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her
lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to
recognise the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day.
Whether you want to be more effective on the job, more empathetic toward your loved ones, or
more alert to the trove of possibilities and threats all around us, this book will show you how to
see what matters most to you more clearly than ever before.
AUTHOR:
Amy E Herman developed and conducts all sessions of The Art of Perception using the analysis of
works of art to improve perception and communication. She leads the program nationally for a
range of institutions including the New York City Police Department, the FBI, and the Department
of Defense, as well as for leaders in education, finance, and policy. She holds an A.B., a J.D.,
and an M.A. in art history.
SELLING POINTS:
• Best-selling category: 'Visual Intelligence' is one of those rare books that transforms the way
you see the world around you and gives you the tools you need to act on what it teaches. Think
of it as the handbook you read to put the insights of The Invisible Gorilla and Blink into practice.
• Exciting package: Four-colour art throughout, makes the book as visually engaging as it is
intellectually stimulating. It's also full of interactive exercises that give the reader an opportunity
to try some of Amy's tricks themselves.
• Not an art book: Amy's takeaways and exercises aren't based in art history, but in the basic
tools anyone can use to sharpen their powers of perception. You don't need to know anything

Contains: 'Queen Lucia', 'Miss Mapp' and 'Lucia in London'.
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine, University of Kent at Canterbury.
Lucia is one of the great comic characters in English literature. Outrageously pretentious,
hypocritical and snobbish, Queen Lucia, "as by right divine" rules over the toy kingdom of
'Riseholme' based on the Cotswold village of Broadway. Her long-suffering husband Pepino is
"her prince-consort", the outrageously camp Georgie is her "gentleman-in-waiting", the village
green is her "parliament", and her subjects, such as Daisy Quantock, are hapless would-be
'Bolsheviks'.
In 'Lucia in London', the prudish, manically ambitious Lucia launches herself into the louche world
of London society. Her earnest determination to learn all about "modern movements" makes her
the perfect comic vehicle for Benson’s free-wheeling satire of salon society, and of the dominant
fads and movements of the 1920s, including vegetarianism, yoga, palmistry, Freudianism,
seances, Post-Impressionist art and Christian Science.
In his insightful Introduction Keith Carabine shows that these books are excruciatingly funny
because Benson, like Jane Austen, invites the reader to view the world through the self-deluded
fabrications and day-dreams of Lucia and the self-deluded chronic anger and jaundiced
suspicions of Elisabeth. Carabine also concentrates on the novels' disturbing, bitchy, "camp"
humour whenever "that horrid thing which Freud calls sex" is raised.
AUTHOR:
Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) was a prolific English writer, producing over ninety books
during his long career. Best remembered for the much-loved 'Mapp and Lucia' books, he was
also an adept writer of supernatural fiction.

Contains: 'Mapp and Lucia', 'Lucia's Progress' and 'Trouble for Lucia'.
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine, University of Kent at Canterbury.
These three wonderful comic novels drolly record the battle between Lucia and Elisabeth Mapp
for social and cultural supremacy in the village of Tilling (based on Rye). Their constant
skirmishes ensure that every game of bridge, tea or dinner-party, church service, council
meeting or art–exhibition are thrilling encounters that ensure Tilling is always on "a very
agreeable rack of suspense". Both Elisabeth and Lucia are gross hypocrites, snobs and bullies,
the huge differences in temperament and style ensure the battle is usually unequal. Elisabeth is
incurably mean-spirited and Lucia suffers from splendid delusions of grandeur and personal
prestige. Driven by demons of revenge, Elisabeth always acts impulsively, and therefore every
revelation of her meanness allows Lucia, the consummate actress, to kill her ally with a sickening
kindness.
In his insightful Introduction Keith Carabine shows that these books are excruciatingly funny
because Benson, like Jane Austen, invites the reader to view the world through the self-deluded

Dangerous Liaisons

ISBN: 9781840227314
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 400
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cchdbe+
With an Introduction and Notes by David Ellis
In this famous story of seduction, two highly intelligent but amoral French aristocrats plot the
downfall of a respectable young married woman and a fifteen year old girl who has only just
emerged from the convent. The letters these two conspirators exchange are remarkably frank in
describing how they manage to achieve their ends and, at the same time, reveal nuances of
character which make it impossible to dismiss either of them as simply evil. Those written by
their victims are equally revelatory in a quite different and subtle way, while the manner in
which Laclos handles the epistolary form in order to ensure that his two protagonists are finally
defeated, not by outside forces, but the fissures in their own relationship, is a triumph of
narrative skill.
This novel poses shrewd questions about the relation between love and sex, and suggests that,
in certain sections of eighteenth century French high society, idleness, boredom and wealth had
created individuals whose misfortunes it would be hard to regret when, only seven years after
'Dangerous Liaisons' was published, the Revolution broke out.
AUTHOR:
Pierre de Laclos was a French soldier, who wrote just one novel, 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses'
('Dangerous Liaisons'), in 1782. Considered scandalous in its day, it remained consistently
popular and was the subject of a well-known film adaptation in 1988.

Author: WILDE OSCAR
ISBN: 9781840224016
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 136
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cceabg+
This title comes with an introduction and notes by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of
London.
'De Profundis' is Wilde's eloquent and bitter reproach from prison to his lover, Lord Alfred
Douglas. He contrasts his behaviour with that of his close friend Robert Ross who became Wilde's
literary executor.
'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' is a deeply moving and characteristically generous poem on the
horrors of prison life, which was published anonymously in 1898.
This collection also includes the essay 'The Soul of Man under Socialism' and two of his Platonic
dialogues, 'The Decay of Lying' and 'The Critic as Artist'.
AUTHOR:
"I have put my genius into my life, all I have put into my works is my talents". In many ways,
the written works of Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) are overshadowed by the drama of his life, and
the incandescence of his personality, but they should not be undervalued. Whether it is the wit of
his plays, the intriguing premise of his only novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray, the sporadic
brilliance of his poetry or the delightful charm of his children's stories, not just the talent but the
genius of the man shines through.

With an Introduction by Anthony Briggs. Translated by Isabel F. Hapgood.
Russia in the 1840s. There is a stranger in town, and he is behaving oddly. The unctuous Pavel
Chichikov goes around the local estates buying up 'dead souls'. These are the papers relating to
serfs who have died since the last census, but who remain on the record and still attract a tax
demand. Chichikov is willing to relieve their owners of the tax burden by buying the titles for a
song. What he does not say is that he then proposes to take out a huge mortgage against these
fictitious citizens and buy himself a nice estate in Eastern Russia. Will he get away with it? Who
will rumble him? Does this narrative contain a deeper message about Russia itself or the spiritual
health of humanity?
There is much interest and some suspense in considering these issues, but the real pleasure of
this story lies elsewhere. It is an enjoyable comic romp through a retarded part of a backward
country, a picaresque series of grotesque portraits, situations and conversations described with
Gogolian humour based mainly on hyperbole. This is, quite simply, the funniest book in the
Russian language before the twentieth century.
AUTHOR:
Nikolay Vasilievich Gogol (1809 - 1852) was a Russian dramatist, novelist and short-story writer,
whose satirical works on Russian life in general, and political corruption in particular eventually
led to his exile. His best works, including 'Dead Souls' and 'The Nose', make him one of the
funniest, yet profound, writers in literature.

Author: GALSWORTHY JOHN

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 848
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*ccedic+
With a new Introduction by Professor Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.
'The Forsyte Saga' is Galsworthy's enduringly popular masterpiece.
Initially, the plot centres on Soames Forsyte, a successful solicitor living in London with his
beautiful wife, Irene. A pillar of the late-Victorian upper middle class, wealthy and
well-connected, he seems to lead an enviable life. But beneath the respectable exterior lie acute
tensions and frustrations. The marriage of Soames and Irene culminates in sexual violence and
recriminations. The consequent feud within the family will be long-lasting, with ironic and
dramatic outcomes.
In 'The Forsyte Saga', John Galsworthy analyses the achievements, confusions and hypocrisies of
an era. This renowned chronicle of a divided dynasty, repeatedly filmed and televised, has
engrossed audiences internationally.
AUTHOR:
When John Galsworthy (1867-1933) died, he was at the height of his popularity with the reading
public, and had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932. Already derided by
modernist writers like Woolf and Lawrence for his old-fashioned values, interest in his works fell
away sharply. The revival came in 1967, when the BBC Television adaptation of 'The Forsyte
Saga' firmly established his place in literary history once more.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Siv Jansson, University of Greenwich.
Begun when the author was only eighteen and conceived from a nightmare, 'Frankenstein' is the
deeply disturbing story of a monstrous creation which has terrified and chilled readers since its
first publication in 1818.
The novel has thus seared its way into the popular imagination while establishing itself as one of
the pioneering works of modern science fiction.
AUTHOR:
By the time of her death, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was remembered for two
things: having been the wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and for writing 'Frankenstein'.
Frankenstein's, creation became an iconic figure in literature and film, but in more recent years
Mary Shelley's other works, such as the early science fiction work, 'The Last Man' and the
disturbing 'Mathilda' have come to be widely appreciated.

Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, Honorary
Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent.
Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the
frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters
and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal
of perfection and Dostoevsky's own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is
contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a
harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot
accommodate the goodness of this idiot.
AUTHOR:
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is a Russian novelist. Of his eleven novels, his three
most famous were written later in life: 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot' and 'The Brothers
Karamazov'. His books have been translated into over 170 languages, and have sold over 15

9HSLIPD*cgcecf+
With an Introduction and Notes by Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London.
The product of more than a decade's continuous work (1598-1611), Chapman's translation of
Homer's great poem of war is a magnificent testimony to the power of The Iliad. In muscular,
onward-rolling verse Chapman retells the story of Achilles, the great warrior, and his terrible
wrath before the walls of besieged Troy, and the destruction it wreaks on both Greeks and
Trojans.
Chapman regarded the translation of this epic, and of Homer's Odyssey (also available in
Wordsworth Editions) as his life's work, and dedicated himself to capturing the 'soul' of the poem.
Swinburne praised the resulting translation for its "romantic and sometimes barbaric grandeur,
its freshness, strength, and inexhaustible fire", qualities that reflect the grandeur, fire and
brutality of the original poem. This new edition includes a critical introduction and extensive
notes, rendering Chapman’s extraordinary poetic masterpiece accessible to modern readers
AUTHOR:
The two earliest surviving poetic works of ancient Greece, the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' are
attributed to 'Homer', but it seems likely that no such individual existed, the works being
developed over an extended period of time until they achieved their final form in the 6th century
BC. Whatever their origins, these epic poems were a major influence in the development of
Greek culture.

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William
Shakespeare’s works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the
material a careful reappraisal.
'King Lear' has been widely acclaimed as Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedy. Elemental and
passionate, it encompasses the horrific and the heart-rending. Love and hate, loyalty and
treachery, cruelty and self-sacrifice: all these contend in a tempestuous drama which has
become an enduring classic of the world’s literature. In the theatre and on screen King Lear
continues to challenge and enthral.
This Wordsworth edition of King Lear provides a comprehensive, integrated text of the play.
AUTHOR:
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) needs little introduction. As we approach the four-hundredth

The flaxen-haired beauty of the childlike Lady Audley would suggest that she has no secrets. But
M.E. Braddon's classic novel of sensation uncovers the truth about its heroine in a plot involving
bigamy, arson and murder.
It challenges assumptions about the nature of femininity and investigates the narrow divide
between sanity and insanity, using as its focus one of the most fascinating of all Victorian

An invaluable companion to 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' and 'The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer', 'Life on the Mississippi' is Mark Twain's inimitable portrait of 'the great Father of
Waters'. Part memoir, part travelogue, it expresses the full range of Twain's literary personality,
and remains the most vivid, boisterous and provocative account of the cultural and societal
history of the Mississippi Valley, from 'the golden age' of steam boating to the violence wrought
by the Civil War.
This new edition of 'Life on the Mississippi' contains a comprehensive introduction, extensive
annotations and a guide to further reading designed to appeal to both the student and the
general reader.
AUTHOR:
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 -1910) alias Mark Twain, is considered one of America's
greatest ever writers. Not only did he write enormously popular novels, such as 'The Adventures
of Tom Sawyer', but also a series of classic travel books, including 'Life on the Mississippi' and
'The Innocents Abroad'. Probably his finest work is 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', which is
rated as one of the finest American novels ever written.

Lord Jim

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 304
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgadhh+
First published in 1900, 'Lord Jim' established Conrad as one of the great storytellers of the
twentieth century. Set in the Malay Archipelago, the novel not only provides a gripping account
of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. Its themes also
challenge the conventions of nineteenth-century adventure fiction, confirming Conrad's place in
literature as one of the first 'modernists' of English letters.
'Lord Jim' explores the dilemmas of conscience, of moral isolation, of loyalty and betrayal
confronting a sensitive individual whose romantic quest for an honourable ideal are tested to the
limit. In this novel, Conrad draws on his background as Polish emigre, as well as his first-hand
experience as a seaman, to experiment radically with the presentation of human frailty and
doubt in the modern world.
AUTHOR:
Born Jozef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski in Poland in 1857, Conrad served in the British
Merchant Service (1878-94), travelling to Africa, Australia, India, Indonesia and the Orient,
becoming a British citizen in 1886. Turning to full-time writing in 1894, his years at sea featured
heavily in his early works. His novels, such as 'Lord Jim', and his novella 'Heart of Darkness' (on
which the film 'Apocalypse Now' was based) have brought him an enduring reputation.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex.
Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful
household at 'Mansfield Park', it has quite unexpected results.
The diffident and much put-upon heroine Fanny Price has to struggle to cope with the results,
re-examining her own feelings while enduring the cheerful amorality, old-fashioned indifference
and priggish disapproval of those around her.
AUTHOR
Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among
the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English

Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz)
'Martin Chuzzlewit' is Charles Dickens' comic masterpiece about which his biographer, Forster,
noted that it marked a crucial phase in the author's development as he began to delve deeper
into the 'springs of character'.Old Martin Chuzzlewit, tormented by the greed and selfishness of
his family, effectively drives his grandson, young Martin, to undertake a voyage to America. It is
a voyage which will have crucial consequences not only for young Martin, but also for his
grandfather and his grandfather's servant, Mary Graham with whom young Martin is in love. The
commercial swindle of the Anglo-Bengalee company and the fraudulent Eden Land Corporation
have a topicality in our own time. This strong sub-plot shows evidence of Dickens' mastery of
crime where characters such as the criminal Jonas Chuzzlewit, the old nurse Mrs Gamp, and the
arch-hypocrite Seth Pecksniff are the equal to any in his other great novels. Generations of
readers have also delighted in Dickens' wonderful description of the London boarding-house 'Todgers'.
AUTHOR:
Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870), pen-name "Boz", was the
most popular English novelist of the Victorian era and one of the most popular of all time. He
created some of literature's most memorable characters. His novels and short stories have never
gone out of print. A concern with what he saw as the pressing need for social reform is a theme
that runs throughout his work.
Much of his work first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialised form, a favoured way
of publishing fiction at the time. Dickens, unlike others who would complete entire novels before
serial publication commenced, often wrote his in parts, in the order in which they were meant to
appear. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one cliffhanger after
another to keep the public eager for the next installment.

This title includes introduction and notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of

'Middlemarch' is a complex tale of idealism, disillusion, profligacy, loyalty and frustrated love.
This penetrating analysis of the life of an English provincial town during the time of social unrest
prior to the Reform Bill of 1832 is told through the lives of Dorothea Brooke and Dr Tertius
Lydgate and includes a host of other paradigm characters who illuminate the condition of English
life in the mid-nineteenth century.
AUTHOR:
Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880), better known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English
novelist. She was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in
provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological insight.
She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Female
authors were published under their own names, but Eliot wanted to ensure that she was not seen
as merely a writer of romances. An additional factor may have been a desire to shield her
private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the
married George Henry Lewes

Dickens's final novel, left unfinished at his death, is a tale of mystery whose fast-paced action
takes place in an ancient cathedral city and in some of the darkest places in nineteenth-century
London. Drugs, sexual obsession, colonial adventuring and puzzles about identity are among the
novel’s themes. At the centre of the plot lie the baffling disappearance of Edwin Drood and the
many explanations of his whereabouts. A sombre and menacing atmosphere, a fascinating range
of characters and Dickens's usual superb command of language combine to make this an exciting

Also included in this volume are a number of unjustly neglected stories and sketches, with
subjects as different as murder and guilt and childhood romance. This unusual selection

Introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B. Cook
Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz)
Following the success of Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby was hailed as a
comic triumph and firmly established Dickens as a 'literary gentleman'. It has a full supporting
cast of delectable characters that range from the iniquitous Wackford Squeers and his family, to
the delightful Mrs Nickleby, taking in the eccentric Crummles and his travelling players, the
Mantalinis, the Kenwigs and many more.
Combining these with typically Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the novel is
eminently suited to dramatic adaptation. So great was the impact as it left Dickens' pen that
many pirated versions appeared in print before the original was even finished.
Often neglected by critics, Nicholas Nickleby has never ceased to delight readers and is widely
regarded as one of the greatest comic masterpieces of nineteenth-century literature.

9HSLIPD*cgacfe+
With an Introduction and Notes by Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London.
Homer's great epic describes the many adventures of Odysseus, Greek warrior, as he strives
over many years to return to his home island of Ithaca after the Trojan War. His colourful
adventures, his endurance, his love for his wife and son have the same power to move and
inspire readers today as they did in Archaic Greece, 2800 years ago.
This poem has been translated many times over the years, but Chapman's sinewy, gorgeous
rendering (1616) stands in a class of its own. Chapman believed himself inspired by the spirit of
Homer himself, and matches the breadth and power of the original with a complex and stunning
idiom of his own. John Keats expressed his admiration for the resulting work in the famous
sonnet, 'On first looking into Chapman's Homer': 'Much have I travelled in the realms of gold...'
AUTHOR:
The two earliest surviving poetic works of ancient Greece, the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' are
attributed to 'Homer', but it seems likely that no such individual existed, the works being
developed over an extended period of time until they achieved their final form in the 6th century
BC. Whatever their origins, these epic poems were a major influence in the development of
Greek culture.

Nancy and 'the Artful Dodger'.
For any reader wishing to delve into the works of the great Victorian literary colossus, 'Oliver

Introduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex.
What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think
something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest
and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident,
adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.
A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time
love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by
bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a
regenerated society.

With an Introduction and Notes by David Blair.
From its first publication in 1816 Rob Roy has been recognised as containing some of Scott's
finest writing and most engaging, fully realised characters. The outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor was
already a legendary, disputed figure by the time Scott wrote - a heroic Scottish Robin Hood to
some, an over-glamorised, unprincipled predator to others.
Scott approaches 'Rob Roy' indirectly, through the adventures of his fictional hero, Frank
Osbaldistone, amid the political turmoil of England and Scotland in 1715. With characteristic care
Scott reconstructs the period and settings so as to place Rob Roy and the Scotland he inhabits
amid conflicting moral, economic and historical forces.
This edition features, besides a new critical introduction and extensive explanatory notes, an
essay outlining clearly the novel's historical context and a glossary of Scottish words and phrases
used by Scott's colourful, vernacular characters.
AUTHOR
Sir Walter Scott (1771 – 1832) was a Scottish novelist, playwright and poet. He is notable for
being the first British author that gained an international reputation during his lifetime. Although
the romanticism of his historic fiction later fell out of favour with critics, his major novels, such as
'Rob Roy' and 'Ivanhoe', are acknowledged as classic works of literature.

Introduction and Notes by Professor Stephen Arkin, San Francisco University
'Young women who have no economic or political power must attend to the serious business of
contriving material security'. Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the stratagems, the
hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggle of two very different sisters to achieve
respectability.
'Sense and Sensibility' is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne
represent these two qualities. Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne,
a fervent disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of
survival.
This book, the first of Austen's novels to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today
as it ever was.
AUTHOR
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist, whose realism, biting
social commentary and masterly use of free indirect speech, burlesque, and irony have earned
her a place as one of the most widely read and most beloved writers in English literature.
Austen lived her entire life as part of a small and close-knit family located on the lower fringes of
English gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through
her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to Austen's development as a
professional writer. Austen's artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was
about thirty-five years old. During this period, she experimented with various literary forms,
including the epistolary novel which she tried and then abandoned, and wrote and extensively
revised three major novels and began a fourth.
During Austen's lifetime, because she chose to publish anonymously, her works brought her little
personal fame and only a few positive reviews.

fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'A Study in Scarlet', bringing together Sherlock
Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective's faithful

reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to
the burning plains of Utah.
'The Sign of the Four', the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with one of his greatest

With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Merchant, Canterbury Christchurch University College
'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love,
oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen
Huntingdon, the mysterious 'tenant' of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying
convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father's influence, and
earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert
Markham, who falls in love with her.
On its first publication in 1848, Anne Bronte's second novel was criticised for being 'coarse' and
'brutal'. 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth
century in a strong defence of women's rights in the face of psychological abuse from their
husbands. Anne Bronte's style is bold, naturalistic and passionate, and this novel, which her sister
Charlotte considered 'an entire mistake', has earned Anne a position in English literature in her
own right, not just as the youngest member of the Bronte family.
This newly reset text is taken from a copy of the 1848 second edition in the Library of the Bronte
Parsonage Museum and has been edited to correct known errors in that edition.

Anne Bronte (1820-1849), the sister of Charlotte and Emily, was the youngest of six children and

9HSLIPD*cgcjbd+
With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.
Laurence Sterne's 'The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman' is a huge literary
paradox, for it is both a novel and an anti-novel. As a comic novel replete with bawdy humour
and generous sentiments, it introduces us to a vivid group of memorable characters, variously
eccentric, farcical and endearing. As an anti-novel, it is a deliberately tantalising and exuberantly
egoistic work, ostentatiously digressive, involving the reader in the labyrinthine creation of a
purported autobiography.
This mercurial eighteenth-century text thus anticipates modernism and postmodernism. Vibrant
and bizarre, 'Tristram Shandy' provides an unforgettable experience. We may see why Nietzsche
termed Sterne 'the most liberated spirit of all time'.
AUTHOR:
Laurence Stern (1713 -1768) was an author whose work divided opinion during his lifetime and
has continued to do so ever since. His most notable work, 'The Life and Opinions of Tristram
Shandy' was a ground-breaking novel which experimented with new forms of narration, parodied
other authors and included some bawdy humour for good measure. Dismissed as a novelty by
some critics, his book has been cited as an influence on Virginia Woolf, James Joyce and many
others.

RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgcegd+
With an Introduction and Notes by Charles P.C. Pettit
Thomas Hardy's only historical novel, 'The Trumpet Major' is set in Wessex during the Napoleonic
Wars. Hardy skilfully immerses us in the life of the day, making us feel the impact of historical
events on the immemorial local way of life - the glamour of the coming of George III and his
soldiery, fears of the press-gang and invasion, and the effect of distant but momentous events
like the Battle of Trafalgar.
He interweaves a compelling, bitter-sweet romantic love story of the rivalry of two brothers for
the hand of the heroine Anne Garland, played out against the loves of a lively gallery of other
characters. While there are elements of sadness and even tragedy, 'The Trumpet-Major' shows
Hardy's skills of story-telling, characterisation and description in a novel of vitality, comedy and
warmth.
AUTHOR:
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) had a writing career which spanned more than fifty years, and he is
now considered both a major novelist and poet. His tales of Wessex, a fictional amalgamation of
various south-west counties, have a lasting appeal, and many, such as 'The Mayor of
Casterbridge' and 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' have become popular television adaptations.

With an Introduction by Donald McFarlan
Robert Burns, the most celebrated of all Scottish poets, is remembered with great devotion - his
birthday on 25th January provokes fervour and festivity among Scots and many others the world
over. Born in 1759 into miserable rustic poverty, by the age of eighteen Burns had acquired a
good knowledge of both classical and English literature.
In June 1786 his first collection of verse, Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, which included To
a Mouse and The Cotter's Saturday Night, was greeted with huge acclaim by all classes of
society. His later poems and ballads include Auld Lang Syne, the beautiful song My Love is like a
Red Red Rose, Highland Mary, Scots Wha Hae and his masterpiece, Tam O'Shanter.
AUTHOR:
Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759 in Alloway Scotland, the eldest of the seven
children of William Burness. He was a Scottish poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the
national poet of Scotland who is celebrated worldwide.
He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his
writing is also in English and a "light" Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland.
He also wrote in standard English, and in these works, his political and civil commentary is often
at its most blunt.
Burns is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and after his death became a great
source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism.

Collected Poems of Rudyard Kipling
Author: KIPLING RUDYARD
ISBN: 9781853264054
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 928
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIPD*cgeafe+
Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York
This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the
Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet
Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its
many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic
monologues and extended ballads.
He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive
reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell's
hard-hitting account of Kipling's poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of
the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.
AUTHOR:
Rudyard Joseph Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. In 1982 he started work as a journalist in
India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches and poems – notably Plain
Tales from the Hills (1888) – which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to
England the following year. In 1901 Kim appeared and was followed in 1902 by the Just So
Stories. Tales of every kind – including historical and science fiction – continued to flow from his
pen, but Kim is generally thought to be his greatest long work, putting him high among the
chroniclers of British expansion.
He was the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1907. He died in 1936 and his
autobiographical 'Something of Myself' was published the following year.

9HSLIPD*cgebie+
With an Introduction by Dr Tim Cook
Robert Browning (1812-1889) represents the intellectual and argumentative strand in English
poetry in contrast to the more ornate style of Spenser and Tennyson. His poetry demonstrates
how a poet must be a sharp perceptive observer of the complexity of the human condition.
Perhaps his most moving poetry was written to express his feelings for his wife, the poet
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which he deals in a very 'modern' way with the uncomfortable fact
that we can never quite bridge the gap between ourselves and the people we love.
AUTHOR:
Robert Browning (1812-1889), with Alfred Lord Tennyson, is considered one of the two major
poets of the Victorian age. Though his poetry was known to the cognoscenti from fairly early on
in his life, but he remained relatively obscure as a poet till his middle age.

Isabella Beeton was born in 1836, the eldest of twenty-one children, and died at the age
twenty-eight. Despite the shortness of her life she managed to produce not only her
world-famous book of Household Management but also this lesser known but equally
comprehensive book of 'Garden Management'.
The subjects covered are familiar to all those who read modern journalism and books on
gardening or watch gardening programmes on television: soil structures, manures and compost,
planning and landscaping, walls and fences, ornamental features, tools, sowing, planting and
transplanting. There are chapters on trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit growing;
on frames and glasshouses; and finally twelve chapters covering the gardening year.
Mrs Beeton first published 'Household Management and Garden Management' in the 1860s at a
time when Victorian middle-class families had money to spend but little or no previous
experience of owning or managing houses and gardens. Mrs Beeton's guidance proved
extremely useful and popular. Her information and wisdom were so sound that many of her
precepts remained 'rules' well into the middle of the twentieth century.
'Mrs Beeton's Garden Management' is not only packed with horticultural advice on the use of
traditional methods - always with an eye to new ideas - but it is also a social document providing
an insight into the art of gardening as it was so enthusiastically practised in the past.
AUTHOR:
Born Isabella Mary Mayson in 1836 in Victorian London, she would go on to become the
universally known Mrs. Beeton, the writer of the most famous cookery book in British
history.She died in 1865 at the age of just 28, but her place in gastronomic history had already
been secured.

Vampires, those dark children of the night, who rise from their coffins to suck the blood of the
living, continue to hold a strange fascination and dread. In this unique collection of vampire
stories you will find some of the earliest depictions of these fearful creatures as in John Polidori's
"The Vampyre" and James Malcolm Rymer's "Varney the Vampyre", a tale which held readers in
thrall when it was first published in the mid-nineteenth century. As well as these rare stories and
those featuring the more well known bloodsuckers such as Le Fanu's "Carmilla" and Stoker's
"Dracula", there is a clutch of lesser known but equally frightening tales written by expert
practitioners in the art of raising goose pimples. "Children of the Night" is a volume filled with the
rich blood of chilling vampire fiction.

Elegant, ruthless, hypnotic: enter Dr Nikola and his black cat Apollyon.
He was the world’s first master villain, a Victorian forerunner of Dr Fu Manchu and the mad
cat-stroking evil genius Blofeld in the James Bond books and films. Now Dr Nikola is back,
wielding his sinister powers across the globe. In England, Egypt, Australia, Tibet, he pursues a
priceless holy relic that will help him achieve his ultimate goal: immortality. Whether giving
orders to his henchmen, suave in an evening suit in a private London restaurant, or languidly
interrogating his prisoners in his secret torture chamber, Dr Nikola is always at his ease. And
even when, by some mischance, his plans are temporarily thwarted, Dr Nikola manages to
return, his implacable dark eyes drawing you to obey his will…
Here you will find his two greatest adventures, the vintage Victorian thrillers A Bid for Fortune
(1895) and Dr Nikola (1896) in one breathless, pacy, nightmarish volume. Created by
Anglo-Australian novelist Guy Boothby, these books won praise from Rudyard Kipling and George

'Dracula': Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University.
'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were
changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red
underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which
trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning
eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated.
It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy
leech, exhausted with his repletion.'
Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the
demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula a truly iconic and unsettling tale of
vampirism.
'Dracula's Guest & Other Stories': Edited and Introduced by David Stuart Davies.
The above is followed with a rich collection of Stoker's macabre tales including Dracula's Guest
(which was omitted from the final version of Dracula); a devilishly dangerous haunted room in
'The Judge's House'; a fatalistic tragedy in 'The Burial of the Rats'; a terror of revenge from
beyond the grave in 'The Secret of Growing Gold', and a surprising twist in the tail in 'The
Gypsy's Prophecy'. Other strange and frightening episodes provide a feast of terror for those
readers who like to be unnerved as well as entertained.
AUTHOR:
It has been said of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', that it "not only set the standard for subsequent
novels in the horror-mystery genre but also helped establish the vampire as one of the most
recognizable figures in the popular arts." Stoker (1847-1912) wrote many other works of some
merit, but achieved lasting fame through his iconic invention.

With an Introduction by Kathryn White.
"He saw her wounded, and bleeding to death; saw her ashy countenance, and her wasting eyes
... turned piteously on himself, as if imploring him to save her from the fate that was dragging
her to the grave..."
Ann Radcliffe, author of 'The Romance of the Forest' and 'The Mysteries of Udolpho', is the high
priestess of the gothic novel. In THE ITALIAN, first published in 1797, she creates a chilling,
atmospheric concoction of thwarted lovers, ruined abbeys, imprisonment and dark passages,
with an undercurrent of seething sexuality and presents us with a cunning villain in the sinister
monk Schedoni.
A contemporary review commented on, ‘Radcliffe’s uncommon talent for exhibiting, with
picturesque touches of genius, the vague and horrid shapes which imagination bodies forth...’
Radcliffe's work was hugely influential and H.P. Lovecraft, early twentieth century master of the
uncanny, was impressed by the, "eerie touch of setting and action contributing artistically to the
impression of illimitable frightfulness which she wished to convey."
The novel remains a fascinating, engrossing and unnerving masterpiece of gothic fiction.
AUTHOR:
Although Ann Radcliffe did not invent the Gothic novel, she was a major factor in its development
and popularity, and her work was very influential on many later writers, including Jane Austen.

Horrific, horrendous, unspeakable, The Whitechapel Murderer, Jack the Ripper, stalked the
streets of East London in 1888, slaughtering prostitutes and bewildering the police who were
hunting him.
They never succeeded in apprehending him, and to this day the mystery of his identity remains
an enigma.
But he did leave clues to his identity, and numerous theories have been entertained throughout
the one hundred and twenty years since he held London’s East End in his grip of terror.
This book looks at the evidence left by the murderer and the reports and investigative papers
which recorded the atrocities that the ripper performed.
It takes time to analyse the existing information and evaluate the letters sent to the police.
It is the strongest and most powerful book ever written on the murders. It dispels a lot of myths
attached to the Ripper, and eliminates a lot of the previously conjectured perpetrators, leaving
only those who realistically could have been… Jack the Ripper.

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is famed for his magical stories, Alice in Wonderland
and Through the Looking-Glass, here illustrated throughout the inner pages by Sir John Tenniel's
much loved drawings. However, inspired by the insatiable Victorian appetite for party games,
tricks and conundrums, this eccentric and polymathical Englishman also wrote many other works
of a humorous, witty, whimsical and nonsensical nature such as the mock-heroic nonsense verse
The Hunting of the Snark, as well as dozens of other verses, stories, acrostics and puzzles, all of
which are included in this volume.
Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic,
academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of
imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the
pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.
Other Writings include:
Sylvie and Bruno / Sylvie and Bruno Concluded / Rhyme and Reason Miscellaneous Works
Early Verse / Puzzles from Wonderland / Prolugues / College Rymes and Notes
Acrostics, Inscriptions and other verses / Three Sunsets and other poems / Stories / A Miscellany

With an Introduction by Mark G. Spencer, Brock University, Ontario, Canada. This edition
includes both Volumes One and Two.
Few writers have had a more demonstrable impact on the development of the modern world
than has Karl Marx (1818-1883). Born in Trier into a middle-class Jewish family in 1818, by the
time of his death in London in 1883, Marx claimed a growing international reputation. Of central
importance then and later was his book DAS KAPITAL, or, as it is known to English readers,
simply CAPITAL.
Volume One of CAPITAL was published in Paris in 1867. This was the only volume published
during Marx's lifetime and the only to have come directly from his pen.
Volume Two, published in 1884, was based on notes Marx left, but written by his friend and
collaborator, Friedrich Engels (1820-1895).
Readers from the nineteenth century to the present have been captivated by the unmistakable
power and urgency of this classic of world literature. Marx's critique of the capitalist system is rife
with big themes: his theory of 'surplus value', his discussion of the exploitation of the working
class, and his forecast of class conflict on a grand scale. Marx wrote with purpose. As he
famously put it, 'Philosophers have previously tried to explain the world, our task is to change it.'
AUTHOR:
Karl Heinrich Marx was born into a middle class family in Germany on 5 May 1818 and was the
son of a successful lawyer. He would go on to become the most influential socialist thinker of the
nineteenth century, and although he did not live to see his ideas carried out in his own lifetime
his writings formed the basis for modern communism.

Translated by W.H.White and A.K.Stirling. With an Introduction by Don Garrett.
Benedict de Spinoza lived a life of blameless simplicity as a lens-grinder in Holland. And yet in his
lifetime he was expelled from the Jewish community in Amsterdam as a heretic, and after his
death his works were first banned by the Christian authorities as atheistic, then hailed by
humanists as the gospel of Pantheism.
His 'Ethics Demonstrated in Geometrical Orde shows us the reality behind this enigmatic figure.
First published by his friends after his premature death at the age of forty-four, the 'Ethics' uses
the methods of Euclid to describe a single entity, properly called both 'God' and 'Nature', of which
mind and matter are two manifestations. From this follow, in ways that are strikingly modern,
the identity of mind and body, the necessary causation of events and actions, and the illusory
nature of free will.
AUTHOR:
Benedictus de Spinoza (1632 - 1677) was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese-Jewish origin. He is

With an Introduction by Ellen Rees, Centre for Ibsen Studies, University of Oslo.
The plays of Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) are critically acclaimed throughout
the world. The father of modern drama, Ibsen broke with theatrical conventions and created a
more realistic form of drama that used the stage as a forum for debating social problems,
notably the rights of the individual, and the damaging effects of orthodoxy. This collection of four
plays contains, 'A Doll's House' (1879) and 'Hedda Gabler' (1890), his most striking depictions of
the struggle by individuals - especially women - to realise their full potential; it also presents
'Peer Gynt '(1867), an early verse tour-de-force, not originally intended for the stage, on the
nature of the self, and 'The Master Builder' (1892), a play that explores the clash between the
old and the new in richly metaphorical language. This collection returns to the acclaimed
translations of William Archer (1856-1924), who through these renditions played a major role in
promoting Ibsen's reputation outside Norway. Archer was also a critic, who with actress Elizabeth
Robbins and dramatist George Bernard Shaw was central in the modernisation of English theatre.
AUTHOR:
Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906) was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright. He was one of the
founders of Modernism in the theatre and his major works include 'Peer Gynt', 'A Doll's House',
'Hedda Gabler' and 'The Master Builder'. He is the most frequently performed dramatist in the

RRP: $16.95
9HSLIPD*cgehea+
With an Introduction by Mishtooni Bose.
More’s 'Utopia' is a complex, innovative and penetrating contribution to political thought,
culminating in the famous ’description’ of the Utopians, who live according to the principles of
natural law, but are receptive to Christian teachings, who hold all possessions in common, and
view gold as worthless. Drawing on the ideas of Plato, St Augustine and Aristotle, Utopia was to
prove seminal in its turn, giving rise to the genres of utopian and dystopian prose fiction whose
practitioners include Sir Francis Bacon, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. At once a
critique of the social consequences of greed and a meditation on the personal cost of entering
public service, 'Utopia' dramatises the difficulty of balancing the competing claims of idealism and
pragmatism, and continues to invite its readers to become participants in a compelling debate
concerning the best state of a commonwealth.
AUTHOR:
Sir Thomas More was born in 1478, the son of a prominent judge. He studied law but
determined to become a monk. The prayer, fasting, and culture of penance stayed with him for
the rest of his life. More's desire for monasticism was finally overcome by his sense of duty to
serve his country in the field of politics. He entered Parliament in 1504. In 1510, More was
appointed one of the two undersheriffs of London. In this capacity, he gained a reputation for
being impartial, and a patron to the poor. In 1518 he became a member of the Privy Council,
and was knighted in 1521. More helped Henry VIII in writing his Defence of the Seven
Sacraments, a repudiation of Luther, and wrote an answer to Luther's reply under a pseudonym.
After the fall of Thomas Wolsey in 1529, More became Lord Chancellor, the first layman to hold
the post. While his work in the law courts was exemplary, his fall came quickly. In April, 1534,
More refused to swear to the Act of Succession and the Oath of Supremacy, and was committed
to the Tower of London on 17 April. More was found guilty of treason and beheaded alongside
Bishop Fisher on 06 July 1535. More's final words on the scaffold were, "The King's good servant,
but God's First." More was beatified in 1886 and canonised by the Catholic Church as a saint by
Pope Pius XI in 1935.

A sparkling debut collection from a Pushcart-Prize nominated poet that makes an ecstatic
argument for living
Containing joy and suffering side by side, Ramshackle Ode offers elegies and odes as necessary
partners to bring out the greatest power in each. By turns celebratory, meditative, tender, and
rebellious, these poems reimagine the divisions and intersections of life and death, the human

From an award-winning young poet in the tradition of Marie Howe, Walt Whitman, Gerald Stern,
and contemporary American bard Maurice Manning, Ramshackle Ode presents a new voice
singing toward transcendence, offering the sense that, though this world is fragile, human
existence is a wonderfully stubborn miracle of chance.

The 27th Waffen SS Volunteer

This book is a detailed history of the 27th Waffen-SS Division "Langemarck," the Flemish
volunteer SS combat formation. "Langemarck" was employed chiefly on the Eastern Front, first
in the Ukraine in early 1944, then participating with a combat group in Estonia along the
Tannenberg Line in the summer of 1944, alongside other European Waffen-SS volunteers
subordinate to III.SS-Pz.Korps; covering themselves with glory and suffering heavy losses. After
transformation into a division, "Langemarck" participated in the final fighting on the Pomeranian
and Oder fronts, continuing to fight under extreme conditions, and always holding their assigned
positions, counterattacking whenever possible. Most of the Flemish volunteers were able to
surrender to the Anglo-American forces, thus escaping capture by the Russians. This complete
treatment fills a large gap in Waffen-SS history. Informative appendices relate to the unit's
operational history and also provide details on some of its members, as well as uniforms and
insignia.
AUTHOR:
Massimiliano Afiero is a historical researcher on the Axis forces of the Second World War, and for
at least thirty years has contributed to numerous military history magazines, publishing hundreds

This unique collection of images details the travels of a German infantry division along the entire
Western Front, where it fought from the start until the end of the war. Interspersed with the
captions and photographs are brief summaries of the actions the division fought in, first against
the French and then the British. What makes this book particularly interesting to British readers
is the unique focus provided on battles many are already familiar with, such as the Somme,
Flanders and Arras. Also covered are the initial combats with the French in the Vosges, an area
about which little has been written in English.
The photographs were chosen by the men of the division to form a commemorative book (a
record of service), published in 1920, that detailed their experiences in the four years of war.
None of the photographs have appeared in a British publication, so each will be fresh to the
reader. Arranged chronologically, the illustrations show the changes behind the front as well as
life on the line. The focus is largely on the photographs, taken by men of one the best divisions
in the German Army, with a brief text that shows what they felt of their situation and where they
went. The book provides a completely new look at life in the German Army during the war.
AUTHOR:
David Bilton is a retired teacher who spends his time looking after his family, working as a
University lecturer and researching the Great War. He is the prolific author of numerous books
about the British Army, the Home Front and the German Army. His first book, 'The Hull Pals',

on sea and in the air. With original drawings in full colour, Steven Patricia uses 30 years'
experience as a historical illustrator to give an informative and insightful account of the war,
portraying the human faces of the participants and capturing moments in time with a vividness

In May 2011, after a Mediterranean exercise to prove the Apache's ability to work shipborne,
HMS Ocean and her embarked Apache attack helicopters from 656 Squadron, Army Air Corps
were about to head home. But the civil war in Libya and the resulting NATO air campaign
intervened. A few days later the Author and his fellow Apache pilots were in action at night over
hostile territory. Within the range of Gaddafi's capable air defence systems and land forces once
in sight of the coast, they had to fight their way into Libya, complete their mission evading lethal
ground fire, before the hazardous return to Ocean. Despite Libya's state-of-the-art arsenal of
ground-to-air weapons, the Apaches made nightly raids at ultra low-level behind enemy lines.
'Apache Over Libya' describes the experiences of eight Army and two Royal Navy pilots who
played a significant role in the NATO led campaign. Despite fighting the best armed enemy
British aircrew have faced in generations, they defied the odds and survived. Thrilling first hand
action accounts vividly convey what it means to fly the Apache in combat at sea and over
enemy-held terrain. An unforgettable and unique account which gives a rare insight into attack
helicopter operations in war.
AUTHOR:
Will Laidlaw [pseudonym for security reasons] is a son of the Scottish Borders. Educated in

and he has flown on active service in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
SELLING POINTS:
• A pilot's eye account of flying the Apache attack helicopter in combat.
• One of few first descriptions of the NATO intervention in 2011 Libya Civil War.
• Thrilling first hand action account of flying and team work against a capable and sophisticated
enemy.
• Rare insight into what it takes to fly the most powerful attack helicopter in the world.

While the Allied armies were deadlocked with the Germans in Normandy after D-Day and even
as they broke out and began their long advance, another campaign was being fought against the
Germans in southern France - and it is this campaign, which is often neglected in accounts of the
liberation of Europe, that is the subject of Anthony Tucker-Jones's latest photographic history. In
a sequence of over 150 wartime photographs he tells the story, from the amphibious invasion of
the French Riviera - Operation Dragoon - to the battle at Montelimar, the forcing of the Belfort
gap, the destruction of German resistance in the Colmar pocket and the entry of Allied forces
into southern Germany. His concise narrative gives a graphic overview of each phase of the
operations, and the selection of photographs shows the American, French and German forces in
action. The mechanized and armoured units and their equipment are a particular feature of the
book. The photographs are a valuable visual record of the tanks, guns, jeeps and trucks - the
most up-to-date military vehicles and weaponry of the time - as they moved along the roads
and through the towns and countryside of southern France.

The four battles fought for Kharkov during the Second World War are often overshadowed by
the battles for Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad, yet they were critical stages in the struggle
between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army for control of the southern Soviet Union. Anthony
Tucker-Jones, in this volume in the Images of War series, offers a visual record of the dramatic
and bloody conflict that took place there, showing every grim aspect of the fighting. Kharkov
became one of the most bitterly contested cities during the war on the Eastern Front, and this
book presents a graphic overview of the atrocious conditions the soldiers on both sides had to
endure. In 1941 Kharkov fell to Hitler's Army Group South. In 1942 the Soviets tried and failed
to retake it, losing 240,000 men in the Barvenkovo Bulge. Then, in 1943, the control of the
battered city changed hands twice before the Soviets liberated it for good. The fate of Kharkov
during the war reflects the history of the wider struggle between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's
Soviet Union.

This second book presents the reader with the Northern attack on part of the 6th Panzer army
whose commitment in the Battle of Ardennes represented the "baptism of fire." By studying the
thousands of archives on the American and German forces, the author revisits this division that
must have been the main way through which Hitler hoped to reverse in his favour the outcome
of the war. In this work, Philippe Guillemeot invites us to follow the ferocious and bloody
cavalcade of the Kampfgruppen of the 1st SS-Panzer Division, the unsuccess of the "Hitler Youth"
against the fierce resistance of the GI's, and the force of the II.SS-Panzerkorps. One chapter is
clearly dedicated to the special operations schemed by the German parachutists and the ineffable
Otto Skorzeny.

In his previous book, the author discussed a little-known and insufficiently examined area in the
history of the Second World War: the fighting in Hungary during the winter of 1944 and 1945
and notably the war's final German offensive, initiated by the 6th Panzer Army in mid-March
1945. In this new work, the author tackles a subject which is the antithesis of his previous one as
much from the geographical as the reputational perspective: the famous Battle of the Bulge. This
is the first volume to be offered to readers, with an examination of the northern edge of this
offensive launched by the 6th Panzer Army. Its deployment during the Battle of the Bulge
represented its baptism of fire. Drawing on the examination of thousands of pages of archives
focusing as much on American as on German forces, as well as an analysis of the most recent
studies combined with site visits, the author reviews the northern sector of the battle for us - a
sector which was to be the main axis along which Hitler hoped for nothing less than to shatter
the American front, speed towards Antwerp and reverse the course of the war to his benefit.
Throughout these pages, the author invites us to follow the fierce and bloody run of the
Kampfgruppen from the I.SS-Panzer Division, the failure of the Hitlerjugend in the face of the
GIs' determined resistance and the charge ofthe II.SS Panzer Korps. However, this book also
specifically provides a detailed review of the special operations which were to facilitate the 6th
Panzer Army's achievement of its aims: von der Heydte's paratroopers' night jump or the
operations of Otto Skorzeny's 150th Panzer Brigade. Finally, the author provides a detailed
survey of preparations for the offensive, the combatants' logistical challenges, the Allied
information service fiasco or the suffering of Belgian civilians trapped within this inferno, in the
middle of an especially harsh winter. Through this research, the author is able to reveal new
factors to us, reexamining cliches and dismissing misconceptions. The reader will find among
these pages, alongside a wealth of illustrations and precise maps, answers to many questions
including, for instance: how was Patton able to redirect his army so quickly to go to Bastogne's
aid? Could the 6th Panzer Army really have reached Antwerp or even the Meuse river? Why
could the victorious 1940 offensive not be replicated in 1944, although the Americans were
completely taken by surprise? What were the factors explaining the failure of an army seemingly
as powerful as the 6th Panzer Army, which represented the Reich's last strategic Panzer reserve
and yet still assembled four full SS Panzer divisions, at least in terms of men? Finally, the
appendices to this volume offer enthusiasts a wealth of information to enhance their knowledge:
for those curious to examine history a little more closely, a series of archive documents has been
translated and reproduced - both reports and telegrams, often from or received by the SHAEF.
These enable us to approach history from a different angle. We will also find the translation of
the surviving fragments of Hitler's harangue to his generals on the 12th of December to
strengthen their resolve in this battle in which the fate of the Reich would be played out.

The British invasion of Mesopotamia was initially successful in securing the oil fields around Basra
by November 1914. Despite evidence of stiffening Turkish resistance and inadequate supply lines
which relied solely on the River Tigris, the Expeditionary Force was disastrously ordered to
advance on Baghdad under the command of the ambitious, capable but flawed Major General
Charles Townshend. After a pyrrhic victory at Ctesiphon in November 1915 the British were
forced to withdraw to Kut. After a five month siege Townshend had little option but to surrender
due to heavy losses and inadequate supplies. Such was the humiliation and loss of life that the
British Parliament ordered a Mesopotamia Commission to be set up. This attributed responsibility
and blame to the toxic combination of incompetent leadership and wholesale military
misjudgement. This fine book re-examines the circumstances and personalities that brought
about such a disastrous and costly outcome to a classic example of 'mission creep'.

In the inter-war years Richard Perkins, a keen amateur photographer and avid collector,
amassed one of the world's largest personal collections of warship negatives. This he eventually
bequeathed to the National Maritime Museum, where it still forms the core of the historic photos
naval section. While he was actively acquiring photos, he found that many were neither identified
nor accurately dated, so he began to compile an album of his own drawings, which incorporated
as much detail as possible on individual ships that could be amended as he discovered more
information. His main concentration was on features differentiating ships of the same class and,
wherever possible, precisely dating alterations to their appearance, all portrayed in exquisite
multi-coloured annotated line drawings. This project grew into an enormous resource covering
virtually every Royal Navy ship from 1860 to 1939, when security restrictions forced Perkins to
stop work. This material was also donated to the NMM, where it was bound into eight large folio
volumes that became a key reference for the curators of historic photos, but unknown and
almost inaccessible to the interested public.This makes this first publication an event of the
utmost importance for every enthusiast and ship modeller - it reproduces all the drawings at full
size and in colour, and will eventually form a multi-volume set of unique reference value.

The nineteenth century saw the British army engaged in a series of conflicts around the globe.
Iin almost every continent the redcoats of British soldiers seemed to be in perpetual action
against enemies of the Crown. The Anglo-Zulu War, fought in southern Africa in 1879, was one
of the bloodiest of these conflicts, and one of the most famous, and it has fascinated historians
ever since. But the story has never, until now, been re-told in verse - and that is what Harry
Turner does in the sequence of poems he has composed for this memorable volume. He
concentrates on the relationship between the British and the Zulus, on the politics and ambition
that gave rise to the war and on the series of bloody battles that followed - in particular at
Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift and Ulundi. Graphically he recalls how King Cetshwayo's Zulu warriors,
armed mainly with spears, gave the British a mauling before they were finally overcome. The
story has often been told before, but rarely in such an original and evocative way.Harry Turner's
work will be an absorbing introduction to the subject for readers who are coming to it for the first
time, and it will add a new dimension to the understanding of readers who are familiar with the
many more conventional histories of the conflict.

What was the soldier's experience of the Battle of the Somme? How did the men who were there
record their part in the fighting or remember it afterwards? How can we, 100 years later, gain
an insight into one of the most famous - and contentious - episodes of the Great War? Matthew
Richardson's graphic account, which is based on the vivid personal testimony of those who took
part, offers us a direct impression of the reality of the battle from the perspective of the
ordinary soldiers and junior officers on the front line. He draws heavily on previously unpublished
personal accounts - letters, diaries, and memoirs, some never before translated into English - to
build up a multifaceted picture of the Somme offensive from the first disastrous day of the
attack, through the subsequent operations between July and November 1916. In their own
words, the soldiers who were caught up in the conflict recall in unflinching detail the fighting
across the entire Somme battlefield. The narrative features the recollections of British,
Commonwealth, French and American soldiers, and interweaves their testimony with descriptions
left by their German adversaries. For the first time in a single volume, the reader has the
opportunity to explore all facets of this momentous five-month-long struggle. Over 100
black-and-white contemporary photographs, many previously unpublished, accompany the text,
whilst a selection of artefacts recovered from the battlefield is illustrated in colour. These striking
objects bear silent witness to the ferocity of the battle, and often reflect some moment of
personal tragedy.

After an immense but useless bombardment, at 7.30 am. On 1 July 1916 the British Army went
over the top and attacked the German trenches. It was the first day of the battle of the Somme,
and on that day the British suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, two for every yard of their front.
With more than fifty times the daily losses at El Alamein and fifteen times the British casualties
on D-day, 1 July 1916 was the blackest day in the history of the British Army. But, more than
that, as Lloyd George recognised, it was a watershed in the history of the First World War. The
Army that attacked on that day was the volunteer Army that had answered Kitchener's call. It
had gone into action confident of a decisive victory. But by sunset on the first day on the
Somme, no one could any longer think of a war that might be won. Martin Middlebrook's
research has covered not just official and regimental histories and tours of the battlefields, but
interviews with hundreds of survivors, both British and German. As to the action itself, he
conveys the overall strategic view and the terrifying reality that it was for front-line soldiers.
AUTHOR:
Martin Middlebrook needs no introduction. Author of 16 books and he is well known for his
detailed research and clarity of style. His books include 'The Peenemunde Raid'; 'Your Country
Needs You', (both Pen and Sword Books), 'Task Force: The Falklands War' and 'The Fight for the

activities, particularly with photography and artwork.

In every movie, every television show, every novel of wartime intrigue, one phrase stands out
as typically German: "Show me your papers." The German Wehrmacht ran on paperwork,
evidenced by the complicated maze of interrelated forms necessary for troops to move either on
leave or for official business from one end of the Third Reich to another. This work, a unique and
thorough compendium of original paperwork carried by the soldiers themselves, documents the
forms required for German soldiers to travel, go home on leave, or visit the spoils of occupation.
A methodically detailed collection that parallels the meticulous nature of the era that produced it,
this work is the most thorough collection of original travel ephemera from Nazi Germany
assembled to date, one that any collector would be proud to add to his or her collection.

This is the amazing story of legendary WWII U-boat commander, and Knight's Cross recipient,
Peter Cremer. Cremer was appointed commander of U-333, a type VIIC submarine with a
close-knit crew. During his first North Atlantic patrol the U-333 sank three ships; unfortunately,
his third victim was actually a German blockade-runner. Cremer was acquitted before a court
martial. During his second patrol, the U-333 was rammed by an Allied tanker before reaching
American shores. His later patrols were equally amazing. In April 1945, Cremer was ordered to
take command of a panzer unit, Marine-Panzer-Vernichtungsbataillon, that was credited with
destroying twenty-four tanks! Cremer ended the war as head of Grossadmiral Donitz's security
battalion. This biography details all WWII patrols by U-333 and features over 200 images and
maps.

Volume three (of a four-volume series) reveals the fate of the ninety-two German U-boats that
passed through Lorient from August 1942 to August 1943. From October 1942, Type IX U-boats
left Lorient for distant seas beyond the South African Cape and succeeded in sinking three times
as many ships as those that attacked the North Atlantic convoys! This book also details the
terrible effects of the massive Allied bombardments on both the base and town during the
following months and discusses Allied progress in anti-U-boat techniques and armaments that
forced the U-boats to abandon the North Atlantic at the end of May 1943 and the Allied offensive
seeking to destroy German U-boats in transit in the Gulf of Gascony. This work is illustrated with
over 600 exceptional war-era photographs as well as maps and plans. A unique colour section
presents the remains, documents, and memories relating to the presence of the U-boats in
Lorient.

Endorsements: ...'This book is the product of careful and painstaking historical detective work,
and the three authors deserve the thanks of everyone with an interest in the British army of the
First World War' Professor Gary Sheffield, Military Illustrated 'Ghosts on the Somme is a
painstaking detailed analysis of every second of the famous film of the battle. Overall it is an
admirable piece of work and a very good book. It is perhaps, given the level of detail, one for
Great War or film buffs ...enjoyable and thought-provoking reading.' The Long, Long Trail The
Battle of the Somme is one of the most famous, and earliest, films of war ever made. It records
the most disastrous day in the history of the British army - 1 July 1916 - and it had a huge
impact when it was shown in Britain during the war. Since then images from it have been
repeated so often in books and documentaries that it has profoundly influenced our view of the
battle and of the Great War itself. Yet this book is the first in-depth study of this historic film, and
it is the first to relate it to the surviving battleground of the Somme. The authors explore the
film and its history in fascinating detail. They investigate how much of it was faked and consider
how much credit for it should go to Geoffrey Malins and how much to John MacDowell. And they
use modern photographs of the locations to give us a telling insight into the landscape of the
battle. This painstaking exercise in historical reconstruction will be compelling reading for
everyone who is interested in the Great War.

What exactly is military history? Forty years ago it meant battles, campaigns, great
commanders, drums and trumpets. It was largely the preserve of military professionals and was
used to support national history and nationalism. Now, though, the study of war has been
transformed by the 'war and society' approach, by the examination of identity, memory and
gender, and a less Euro-centric and more global perspective. Generally it is recognised that war
and conflict must be integrated into the wider narrative of historical development, and this is why
Ian Beckett's research guide is such a useful tool for anyone working in this growing field. It
introduces students to all the key debates, issues and resources. While European and global
perspectives are not neglected, there is an emphasis on the British experience of war since 1500.
This survey of British military history will be essential reading and reference for anyone who has
a professional or amateur interest in the subject, and it will be a valuable introduction for
newcomers to it.

A History of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry 1900 - 1946
This account, following on from 'Unicorns - The History of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry
1794- 1899', covers the Regiment's war service between 1900 and 1945. During the Boer War
the SRY formed part of the first volunteer unit to see active service overseas fighting the Boer
Commandos as cavalry. For its role in the ill-fated 1915 Gallipoli campaign, the Regiment was
awarded the King's Colour and then fought Allenby's victorious campaign against the Turks.
During the Second World War the Regiment initially saw service in Palestine, at the siege of
Tobruk and the fall of Crete. After acting as Special Forces in Ethiopia, they were converted to
armour and fought through from Alamein to Tripoli before returning to North-west Europe for
D-Day and the advance to Germany. In so doing they won thirty Battle Honours and 159 awards
including eighty-three for gallantry. General Sir Brian Horrocks later wrote 'no armoured
regiment can show a finer record of hard fighting.' Hence the title of this invaluable regimental
history.

The third volume in Nik Cornish's photographic history of the Second World War on the Eastern
Front records in vivid visual detail the sequence of Red Army offensives that pushed the
Wehrmacht back across Russia after the failure of the Operation Citadel, the German attack at
Kursk. Previously unpublished images show the epic scale of the build-up to the Kursk battle and
the enormous cost in terms of lives and material of the battle itself. They also show that the
military initiative was now firmly in Soviet hands, for the balance of power on the Eastern Front
had shifted and the Germans were on the defensive and in retreat. Subsequent chapters
chronicle the hard-fought and bloody German withdrawal across western Russia and the Ukraine,
recording the Red Army's liberation of occupied Soviet territory. Not only do the photographs
track the sequence of events on the ground, they also show the equipment and the weapons
used by both sides, the living conditions experienced by the troops and the devastation the war
left in its wake.

America's Forgotten Military Leaders, 1776-1876
A fascinating survey through America's first century of warfare, focusing not on the famous
names who ultimately claimed success, but on the down-and-dirty fighters—sometimes killed in
action—who made such triumphs happen . . .
History plays tricks sometimes. During the course of America's experience it has enshrined an
exceptional few military leaders in our collective consciousness as "great," while ignoring others
often equally as deserving. In the Shadows of Victory takes a look at an array of American
battlefield commanders who were as responsible for triumph as their more famous peers, yet
have often gone unsung. For example, few of the thousands who pass by the traffic square
between Fifth Avenue and Broadway in Manhattan each day realize that it houses a tomb. Fewer
still understand that beneath the obelisk rests one of America's best military
commanders-William Worth-a hero in not one but two of the nation's wars. Similarly, the Civil
War general who never lost a battle and who many military historians believe fought one of the
two most perfect battles in history was not Grant, Sherman, Lee, or Jackson; it was Thomas-who
never extolled his own cause but in all likelihood saved his nation's. From the War of
Independence, through the Mexican War and Civil War, and during the numerous Indian wars
throughout, great combat leaders have emerged across America's battlefields, yet have just as
suddenly slipped through the cracks of history once the guns went silent. At the same time
conflicts themselves have often disappeared from consciousness, the public forgetting the fights
the country waged against the Barbary Pirates, the British in 1812, and against the Seminoles
and Apaches. In the Shadows of Victory describes the heroics and command acumen of 25
superb military leaders whose sacrifice and skill have often been neglected. As such it provides a
fascinating tour through early American military history and the various martial challenges the
young nation faced during its first century of existence.
SELLING POINTS:
• Unveils a host of undersung combat leaders who won battles, if not public acclaim
• Provides focus on some of America's smaller wars during its first century of existence
• Exciting tales of battle throughout, rather than the pure laying of laurels

The battleships of the Third Reich have been written about exhaustively, but there is little in
English devoted to their predecessors of the Second Reich. This new book fills an important gap
in the literature of the period by covering these German capital ships in detail and studying the
full span of battleship development during this period. The book is arranged as a chronological
narrative, with technical details, construction schedules and ultimate fates tabulated throughout,
thus avoiding the sometimes disjointed structure that can result from a class-by-class approach.
Heavily illustrated with line work and photographs, many from German sources, the book offers
readers a fresh visual look at these ships, beyond the limited range of images available from UK
sources. A key objective of the book is to make available a full synthesis of the published fruits
of archival research by German writers found in the pre-WW2 books of Koop & Schmolke,
Grossmer's on the construction programme of the dreadnaught era, Forstmeier & Breyer on
WW1 projects, and Schenk & Nottelmann's papers in Warship International.As well as providing
data not available in English-language books, these sources correct significant errors in the
'standard' English sources. This entirely fresh study will appeal to historians of WWI German
naval developments as well as to enthusiasts and modelmakers.

The 100th Anniversary of the most publically aware battle of WW1 - the battle of the Somme,
will be on 1 July 2016 and every media form will be covering it from January onwards. The book
has taken 20 years to mature from its first edition to this new 'Definitive' edition, the Seventh,
each time being updated and expanded. It is a legacy that should be on every bookshelf.
The book is based upon over 30 years of traveling and writing about battlefields by two people Major and Mrs Holt - who are credited with having started the modern era of battlefield tours and were awarded the Somme Centenary Medal for their work in 'opening the doors to the
battlefields' with their books.
This Guide Book is MORE than a guide book - Sir Martin Gilbert said, ' the Holts have raised the
Guide Book to a new high level,' and ' the golden thread that runs through it (the previous
Somme Guide) - is the focus that the Holts give to the stories of individuals'. It will therefore

This illustrated series presents the uniforms and equipment of the United States Army from the
nineteenth century to the present day. Each volume combines detailed and informative captions
with over 100 rare and unusual images. These books are a must for anyone interested in
American military uniforms and the history of the United States Army. On the morning of March
8th, 1965, the men of the United States Marine Corps prepared to land on Red Beach II in the
Republic of Vietnam. The resulting conflict became the most protracted war of the Corps' history.
The Marines evolved through early, nervous attempts to fend off the North Vietnamese enemy,
to 'hearts and minds' programmes with the local population, and the larger operations Hastings
and Dewey Canyon, where fighting resembled some of the worst in the Pacific arena of World
War II. This illustrated guide brings together more than 100 rare and unusual photographs to
demonstrate the uniforms, insignia and equipment of the U.S.M.C., including the M14 rifle (later
replaced by the M16); grenades, mines and flamethrowers; body armour flak jackets, helmets,
camouflage and jungle boots; and transports such as the LVTP-5, Sea Knight and Chinook.

While best known as being the scene of the most terrible carnage in the WW1 the French
department of the Somme has seen many other battles from Roman times to 1944. William the
Conqueror launched his invasion from there; the French and English fought at Crecy in 1346;
Henry V's army marched through on their way to Agincourt in 1415; the Prussians came in 1870.
The Great War saw three great battles and approximately half of the 400,000 who died on the
Somme were British – a terrible harvest, marked by 242 British cemeteries and over 50,000 lie
in unmarked graves.
These statistics explain in part why the area is visited year-on-year by ever increasing numbers
of British and Commonwealth citizens. This evocative book written by the authors of the iconic
First Day on the Somme.is a thorough guide to the cemeteries, memorials and battlefields of the
area, with the emphasis on the fighting of 1916 and 1918, with fascinating descriptions and
anecdotes.
Author:
Martin Middlebrook needs no introduction. Author of 16 books, including 'The First Day on the
Somme', he is well known for his detailed research and clarity of style.

SELLING POINTS:
• The name Middlebrook is greatly respected by experts and laymen alike.
• Covers not just the WW1 battles but the full span of history.
• Full of useful information and points of interest.
• Well illustrated and beautifully written.

President Omar al-Bashir is Africa's and arguably Arabia's most controversial leader. In power
since 1989, he is the first sitting head of state to be issued with an arrest warrant, for war
crimes, by International Criminal Court.
He has been a central personality in Islamic and African politics, as well as a love-to-hate figure
for the US in the 'war on terror'.
For military history readers, Al-Bashir is a field marshal who has fought possibly the world's
longest conflict. Modern Sudan has been embroiled in war since 1955.
No proper biography has been written on him before. Nor has there been a comprehensive
military history of Sudan. The book briefly covers the military background until independence.
Then it dissects the long north-south civil war until Bashir's Islamist military coup in 1989.
Thereafter it narrates the wars in the east, south, west (in Darfur), International political and
military intervention is also factored in.
The author draws on in-depth one-on-one interviews with Bashir himself and his family and close
political, military and intelligence colleagues.
AUTHOR:

A revelatory narrative of the 535 Pennsylvania and New Jersey privateers, privately owned ships
of war some called pirates. Manned by nearly 18,000 men, these privateers influenced the fight
for American independence. From the halls of Congress to the rough waterfronts of Delaware
River and Bay to the remote privateering ports of the New Jersey coast and into the Atlantic, a
stirring portrait emerges of seaborne raiders, battles, and derring-do, as well as incredible
escapes from the great British prison ships "vulgarly called Hell," where more than 11,000 men
perished. A work 40 years in the making extracted from archives in both Europe and America, it
is a tale unrivaled by any Hollywood fiction.

June - September 1944
On the night of 5/6 June 1944, D-Day, a Lockheed Hudson dropped a small group of parachutists
into the mountainous Morvan area of central France. Their mission was to operate as an advance
reconnaissance party 400 miles behind the German lines and to make contact with the French
Resistance. One of the team, later to become its commander, was Ian Wellsted, known by his
nom-de-guerrre of Gremlin. During the next three months No.1 Troop of the 1st Special Air
Service Regiment relayed vital information about enemy troop locations and movements,
sabotaged bridges and supply lines, skirmished with German columns and harried the occupying
forces as they retreated eastwards in the face of the Allied invasion. Camped deep in the woods
of the Montsaughe region, the small force worked alongside the local groups of Maquis, forging
strong links of mutual respect and friendship. Ian Wellsted's exciting first-hand account of his
operations behind enemy lines is a tale of gallantry and daring, of comradeship and cooperation,
full of humour and perceptive insight - revealing one of the most significant chapters in the
history of the SAS.

The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of
famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history
of the subject class, then moves to an extensive photographic survey of either a high-quality
model or a surviving example of the ship. Hints on building the model, and on modifying and
improving the basic kit, are followed by a section on paint schemes and camouflage, featuring
numerous colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings. The strengths and weaknesses of
available kits of the ships are reviewed, and the book concludes with a section on research
references - books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites.
This volume is devoted to the famous ships of Admiral Hipper’s First Scouting Group. Slower but
more robust than their British equivalents, German battlecruisers enjoyed a reputation for
absorbing punishment, and although Lutzow was sunk at Jutland, Seydlitz and the rest of the
Scouting Group survived heavy damage. This book concentrates on the seven completed ships
but coverage extends to the 'proto-battlecruiser' Blucher and the ships building or designed by
the end of the war.

Dramatic and heart-warming tales of nursing from a First World War field hospital
Following the outbreak WWI, the British Red Cross appealed for volunteers to train as frontline
medical staff, and a major volunteer field hospital was built at Etaples in France. Women
volunteered for a variety of reasons.
Some believed that they were responding to a vocational or religious calling, others were
following a sweetheart to the front, whereas others had been carried away on the wave of
jingoistic patriotism that had gripped the nation in 1914. One such volunteer was Lily Fielding.
Despite her training, however, Lily and the young friends she was to make at the Somme were
ill-prepared for the stench of gangrene and trench foot. Isolated as they were from friends and
family at home, they forged new and close relationships with one another, establishing a
camaraderie that was to last the entire war and beyond.
This book is a heartwarming account of life in one field hospital at the Somme, based on the true
stories of the nurses who were there.
AUTHOR:
Penny Starns has a PhD in the history of medicine from the University of Bristol and is an

This book describes nine transplanted Poles who participated in the Civil War. They span three
generations and are connected by culture, nationality and adherence to their principles and
ideals. The common thread that runs through their lives-the Polish White Eagle-is that they came
from a country that had basically disintegrated at the end of the previous century, yet they
carried the concepts of freedom they inherited from their forefathers to the New World to which
they immigrated. Once in America the pre-war political feuds, ferocious ensuing battles,
captures, prison camp escapes and privations of war-often in the words of the soldiers
themselves-are fully described. More highly trained in warfare than their American brethren-and
certainly more inured to struggles for nationhood- the Poles made a more significant contribution
to Civil war combat than is usually described. The first group had fought in the 1830 war for
freedom from the Russian Empire. The European revolutionary struggles of the 1840's moulded
the next generation. The two of the youngest generation came of age just as the Civil War
began, entered military service as enlisted men and finished as officers. Of the group, four sided
with the North and four with the South, and the other began in the Confederate cavalry and
finished fighting for the Union side. All but one came from aristocratic backgrounds. In a war
commonly categorized as a "brother against brother", a struggle between two American regions,
history has not devoted a great deal of attention to the participation of Poles, and foreigners in
general. These men fought with a belief in European democratic liberalism. Whether for the
North to keep a Union together or to form a new nation from the Southern states, they held to
their ideals, and in America's own greatest conflict continued to fight for their beliefs.
SELLING POINGS:
• The first book that recognises the immense combat expertise Polish officers fresh from the
wars of Europe provided to the nascent War Between the States
• Describes heretofore unknown heroism, also combat actions, in which the Polish emigres took
part
• Will appeal to all Civil War readers seeking new information, as well as the strong Polish
audience whose heroes are so often neglected in military history

Rudolph Hess' flight to Britain in May 1941 stands out as one of the most intriguing and bizarre
episodes of the Second World War. In 'The Truth About Rudolph Hess', Lord James
Douglas-Hamilton explores many of the myths which still surround the affair. He traces the
developments which persuaded Hess to undertake the flight without Hitler's knowledge and
shows why he chose to approach the Duke of Hamilton. In the process he throws light on the
importance of Albrect Haushofer, one-time envoy to Hitler and Ribbentrop and personal advisor
to Hess, who was eventually executed by the SS for his involvement in the German Resistance
movement. Drawing on British War Cabinet papers and the author's unparalleled access to both
the Hamilton papers and the Haushofer letters, this new and expanded edition of 'The Truth
About Rudolph Hess' takes the reader into the heart of the Third Reich, combing adventure and
intrigue with a scholarly historical approach.

Winston on the Western Front 1916
Following his resignation from the Government after the disastrous Gallipoli campaign, Winston
Churchill's political career stalled. Never one to give in, Churchill was determined to continue
fighting the enemy. He was already a Major in the Territorial Reserve and he was offered
promotion to Lieutenant Colonel and with it command of a battalion on the Western Front. On 5
January 1916, Churchill took up his new post with the 6th (Service) Battalion, Royal Scots
Fusiliers. The battalion's adjutant was Captain Alexander Dewar Gibb who formed a close
relationship with Churchill that lasted far beyond their few weeks together in the war. Dewar
Gibb subsequently wrote an account of his and Churchill's time together in the trenches. Packed
with amusing anecdotes and fascinating detail, Gibb's story shows an entirely different side to
Churchill's character from the forceful public figure normally presented to the world. Churchill
proved to be a caring and compassionate commander and utterly fearless. Despised on his
arrival, by the time he departed he was adored by his men. Supplemented with many of
Churchill's letters, the observations of other officers and additional narrative this is the most
unusual and absorbing account of this part of Churchill's life that has ever been told.
AUTHOR:
Following graduation, Gibb became a member of the Scottish Bar in 1914. During his service with
the Royal Scots he reached the rank of Major. After the war he continued with his legal career.
Andrew Dewar Gibb was also a founder member and leader of the Scottish National Party. He
died in Glasgow on 24 January 1974 aged eighty-five.
SELLING POINTS:
• Churchill as a battalion commander on the Western Front
• Little-known aspect of Churchill’s life revealed by a fellow officer

Approximately a third of all Allied merchant vessels sunk during the First World War were by
German boats and submarines based at Bruge-Zeebrugge on the coast of Belgium. By 1918 it
was feared that Britain would be starved into surrender unless the enemy raiders could be
stopped. A daring plan was therefore devised to sail directly into the heavily defended port of
Zeebrugge and then to sink three obsolete cruisers in the harbour in the hope they would block
German vessels from reaching the English Channel. The cruisers were also to be accompanied by
two old submarines, which were filled with explosives to blow up the viaduct connecting the mole
to the shore, whilst 200 Marines were to be landed to destroy German gun positions at the
entrance to the Bruges Canal. On 23 April the most ambitious amphibious raid of the First World
War was carried out, told here through a huge collection of personal accounts and official reports
on the bitter fighting which saw more than 500 British casualties from the 1,700 men who took
part, and saw the awarding of eight Victoria Crosses.

Rescuing Hummingbirds in Hollywood
A heartwarming account of the trials and triumphs a hummingbird rehabber encounters while
caring for her tiny, fragile patients
Before he collided with a limousine, Gabriel, an Anna's hummingbird with a head and throat
cloaked in iridescent magenta feathers, could spiral 130 feet in the air, dive 60 miles per hour in
a courtship display, hover, and fly backward. When he arrived in rehab caked in road grime, he
was so badly injured that he could barely perch. But Terry Masear, one of the busiest
hummingbird rehabbers in the country, was determined to save this damaged bird, who seemed
oddly familiar. During the four months that Terry worked with Gabriel, she took in 160
hummingbirds, from a miniature nestling rescued by a bulldog and a fledgling trapped inside a
skydiving wind tunnel at Universal CityWalk, to Pepper, a female Anna's injured on a film set. In
their time together, Pepper and Gabriel form a special bond and, together, with Terry's help,
learn to fly again. Woven around Gabriel's and Pepper's stories are those of other colourful birds
in this personal narrative filled with the science and magic surrounding these fascinating
creatures.
AUTHOR:
Terry Maser has taken time off from teaching English as a Second Language at UCLA Extension
to devote time to researching and writing about hummingbirds. Terry and her network in
Southern California rescue and rehabilitate over five hundred orphaned and injured
hummingbirds each year.
REVIEWS:
"This is a book about birds that is actually a book about love, and Masear does us a favor by
risking heartbreak every day. The last words of Fastest Things on Wings are: 'I am flying.' A
fitting end to a book that will change forever the way you look at these little birds." — Los

Cats live in our homes not as guests, but as bona fide residents: our daily habits, rituals and
schedules are assimilated by our cats more than we might imagine. Those who share their days
with a feline know quite well how it is able to intuit our intentions merely by the wardrobe we
open or the box we take from a shelf. All this is due to its innate capacity to assess the
surroundings and the habits of those living in it with the utmost attention.
But while cats understand us, in our eyes felines continue to be regarded as unpredictable and
mysterious creatures. So, if we have decided that our new life-long companion will be a cat, we
must prepare ourselves to discover its world.
How does one welcome a new kitten? How can your home be 'made to measure' for your cat?
What is the most appropriate food? Why does it behave in a certain way? How does it see and
perceive its surroundings? What should you do if it gets sick?
These are only some of the questions you will find in this book, the pertinent answers to which
have been elaborated by an animal care expert, along with a good deal of useful advice that will
help you understand our four-legged friend and make it grow healthy, while at the same time
debunking certain myths about the cat world. In this book you will find everything you need to
know in order to be the well-informed owner of a happy cat.

The relationship between humans and dogs is age-old and has remained intact over the
centuries, becoming so strong that Fido, who is rightly called Man's best friend, is considered a
bona fide member of the family it happens to live with. However, this does not mean that the
man-dog relationship is all that simple: a true relationship with our dog is achieved only by
having the key to understanding its diversity. Besides learning to become familiar with and
understanding the canine world, deciding to have a dog live under the same roof and share our
house and our life entails a series of important assessments.
The choice of having a dog is delicate and should never be made rashly, and this is precisely the
reason why this book attempts to answers all the questions that a potential dog owner should
ask before making this delicate decision. And it does so in a curious, entertaining, intriguing and
rapid manner, without losing sight of the contents, which are written by an expert in animal care.
How can one choose the most suitable dog? Is it better to buy or adopt a dog? What must the
dog to stay in perfect form? How does it communicate with and with other canines? Why does it
act in a particular way? What does becoming the 'pack leader' of puppy mean, and what are the
important rules involved/entailed here? These are only some of the many subjects dealt with:
because although your animal cannot talk, it asks questions and wants answers (of which there
many in this book).

Modern interior decoration offers many more solutions today compared to the past, and the
main focus is on furniture and home accessories. Despite that, walls too can be the subject of
our decoration: painting them, or applying wallpapers, posters and pictures can decorate the
rooms in which we live. Most of these solutions are permanent, and some time expensive too.
That is why, in contemporary interior design, there is a growing use of wall stickers. After being
considered for years a mere children's hobby, wall stickers are many and varied, which make
them the perfect solution for people who want their homes to be unique. They will stick on any
surface, are easily removable, washable and reusable; they come in many shapes, sizes, can be
used one by one or combined with others in intricate patterns… and now thank to new printing
techniques, they can be also coloured as you wish! These collections, arabesques and the world
of animals, offer a great variety of drawings to be coloured following personal tastes. You can
use them to decorate your home and can be applied not only on the walls, but also on shelves,
mirrors, wardrobes… they are the best choice when it comes to decorating and revitalising your
home.

The acclaimed photographer Christopher Roche offers a stunning panoramic portrait of Banaras,
the spiritual capital of India.
Banaras, or "Varanasi" in Hindi, is a Northern Indian city on the banks of the Ganges in Uttar
Pradesh. One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, it is also one of the holiest
in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist cultures. In this large-format book, the landscape and spiritualism of
this beautiful city come to life through the lens of award-winning photographer Christopher
Roche. Spending two years covering the city's daily events, Roche turned his lens toward its holy
men, temples, shrines, and religious ceremonies. He depicts the ubiquitous lingams and yonis, as
well as the city's fabled burning Ghats—a series of long, wide steps leading to the Ganges. Rarely
photographed due to cultural restrictions, Banaras teems with life, colour, and emotion. In his
large, brilliantly hued images, Roche manages to capture the throbbing vitality of this important
city as no one ever has before.
AUTHOR:
Christopher Roche's photographs have been published and exhibited widely. Dividing his time
between working as a filmmaker and a photographer, he is now based in London.

A new and racial vision of the great American icon
The cowboy, one of America's most enduring cultural icons, has become identified with the white
gunslinger in the popular imagination. However, in the 19th century over one-third of these
cowboys were actually Black cowboys. With this photo series included in the exhibition Andrea
Robbins & Max Becher. Displacements, the photographic duo shines a spotlight on Black cowboy
culture, a phenomenon practically unheard-of outside the United States due to segregation in
competitive rodeos and the exclusion of Black cowboys from the iconography of the Western
genre. Robbins and Becher travelled across the country, conducting interviews and research and
using their camera to merge the artistic tradition of documentary photography with a conceptual
approach that critiques society.

around him. His camera released him from the boundaries of his youth and opened the doors to
a lifetime's work. Vicki Goldberg's authoritative text explores the wide range of his vision and
technique, and reveals how his work has played a critical role in 20th-century photography. The
text includes beautifully reproduced images from his most iconic series such as Brooklyn Gang,
East 100th Street, Subway, and Time of Change: Civil Rights Photographs, along with
never-before-seen archival material from Davidson's private archive. Davidson's photographs
reveal his curiosity about, and empathy for, his subjects; whether he is documenting circuses,
gangs, East Harlem tenements, Jewish cafeterias, Welsh miners, or Central Park, Davidson
imbues his work with an eye for narrative. His pictures tell stories—and he lets them speak for
themselves. The result is a comprehensive and elegantly presented portrait of an artist's life and
work.

Colour is the very heart of the vast majority of today's photographs. The colours that we include
in the frame have a profound effect on the success of our images. There is a psychology to
colour: certain colours evoke certain moods. Some colours visually recede, while others "pop"
from the frame. Colour creates mood, it tells a story, and can make moments recorded in a
frame appear truly lifelike—or it can be used to make a scene appear more of a fantasy. It also
affects your clients' skin tones. Though these points serve to underscore the importance of colour
in our images, it's a pictorial aspect that has not received the attention it deserves—until now. In
this book, one of the industry's top celebrity, portrait, and fashion photographers, Hernan
Rodriguez provides an in-depth look at everything your every wanted to know about
colour—from basic colour theory, to the psychology of colour, to the use of colour filters for
enhanced colour results, to the effect on your clients' skin colour, to using colour for specific
portrait applications, and more. Rodriguez also explains how various lighting sources—from flash
to continuous light to natural light—will impact the way that colour in your scene will be rendered
in the final print/product. You'll also learn important strategies for controlling colour from capture
to post-production (the latter will include lessons on creating desaturated looks, enhancing colour
using Photoshop's Curves and Selective Colour tools, creating cross-processing effects, and using
third-party actions to amp up your artistry). Armed with these discussions, you'll come away with
a brave new attitude toward colour—and a full understanding of how you can use it to make
photographs that please your clients and reinvigorate your own love of capturing images.

Unofficial Histories Behind the Mass Expansion of Makkah
Through a series of photographs, Ahmed Mater charts the city's origins to its more recent history
over the last 5 years. It is a study of the site's recent transformation — Makkah, until recently,
embodied a unique urban tapestry, layered with histories that are stitched together by an
abundance of organically rooted communities and cultures. It is a place that accommodated not
only sacred structures and sites but also huge fluctuations in population during Ramadan (up to 3
million visitors a year travel to Makkah for Eid and Hajj). More recently, these sites and
communities have been eradicated and are being replaced with five-star-studded high rise
developments, transforming it from an active metropolis to the world's most exclusive, yet most
visited religious tourist destination, reflective of an unprecedented experimentation with
architecture and its possible impact on social stratification.
This photographic essay is a celebration of Makkah's real and projected or imaginary states. It
provides singular access to this site and its associated social and religious rituals, along with its
architectural urban planned and proposed development.
AUTHOR:
Ahmed Mater, born in 1979, grew up in Saudi Arabia. He led a young artist collective, was a
founding member of Al-Miftaha Arts Village in Abha, and went on to co-founded the non-profit

'The Ghetto Tarot' mixes the magical with the real world and motivates you to activate your
imagination; the mystical and ancient tarot cards come alive in this modern, vivid and
provocative deck
In this book multi-award-winning artist Alice Smeets interprets traditional tarot cards through the
art of photography. The scenes are inspired by the Rider Waite Tarot Deck, designed in 1919,
and were recreated with a group of Haitian artists, the Atis Rezistans collective, in the ghettos of
Haiti. The traditional symbolism of 78 tarot cards is transformed into timeless images. "Taking
ordinary pictures of the scenes seemed too simple, my aim was to create a very personal deck
without losing the spirit of the cards. I combined my passions: the spiritual world, the Haitian
culture, the philosophical reflections about the dualities in our world and, of course,
photography," says Alice Smeets. Atis Rezistans played a special part in the realisation. They
acted as models in front of the camera and constructed the objects needed. Smeets doesn't
show the expected image of despair in the slums, instead she presents life in the ghetto full of
power, joy and creativity.

Smeets has shown her work in many countries and received numerous awards.
REVIEWS:
"The creativity of some photographers astounds me. Just when you think you've seen every
creative, strange and unique photo idea, another comes along. These fascinating images by

captured in the ghetto of Haiti." Photo blogger DL Cade, 500px

Through which devices are ideas communicated? Where do images reside?
A selection of eight of Joan Fontcuberta's most significant projects confronts us with these
questions. Herbarium, Fauna, Sputnik, Securitas, Pin Zhuang, Miracles & Co, Deconstructing
Osama and Trepat stake out between 1984 and 2014 an artistic inquiry rightly known as the
problematization of the "regimes of truth" in photography.
Over the course of his career, Fontcuberta has successfully presented the photographic image in
various forms. Seeking to reach beyond two-dimensional representation, he has regularly used
different objects, devices and installations in his work to support the discourse of every new
proposition he has put forward. 'Imago, Ergo Sum' brings to light the display mechanisms that
have habitually accompanied the development of a creative project in the shape of a book, a
visual narrative conceived of as a work of art that enables photography to best deploy its
syntactical potential. For the artist, both the distribution in space—be it inside or outside a
museum—and the published volume are both equally important, both act as tangential
approaches at the service of a single concept.
AUTHOR:
Joan Fontcuberta (Barcelona, 1955) is an artist, curator, essayist, and lecturer. He is considered
one of Europe's most important contemporary photographers and one of the most respected and
highly regarded voices in the international scene. He has been recognized with the David
Octavius Hill medal, awarded by Germany's Fotografisches Akademie GDL (1988), was made a
Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture (1994), and has
been the recipient of Spain's National Photography Prize (1998) and National Essay Prize (2011).

Learn how to position and power your light sources to make your subjects look their best.
Portrait lighting is part art, part science. There are so many tools at the photographers'
disposal—and myriad settings and setups that can be used. So, how do you master the light for
consistent, predictable results, indoors and out? In this guide, award-winning photographer
Curley Marshall teaches you the nuts and bolts of portrait lighting. You'll learn to work with
natural light and studio lighting sources, both as they exist and in modified forms. You'll discover
posing and lighting combinations that will help you to ensure that your subject's face — the focal
point of every portrait — appears dimensional and, where need be, slimmer. You'll learn how to
give the eyes sparkle through proper catch-light placement and how to bring out the colour of
the eyes. You'll also learn the basic lighting setups heralded by portrait artists throughout time —
including loop lighting, Rembrandt lighting, butterfly lighting, and more.

"Most sessions are shockingly harmless. What the people whose stories are shown in my pictures
have in common is a meaningful quest for elementary human needs, such as freedom, warmth
and comfort, maybe even happiness," Florian Müller recounts. He photographs fetishists; people
who dress up as dogs or let themselves be bound and hung from the ceiling. It is their way of
relaxing and achieving fulfilment. At first sight what you see is masquerade, Kafkaesque scenes,
danses macabres, transformations into animals, into slaves, into a shrink-wrapped maggot.
Behind the masquerade lurks stories of people and their needs. Of desires, wounds and dreams
and the pictures tell us these stories. Florian Müller worked on fetishism in Germany for several
years. Sometimes it took weeks before the people trusted him and let him in on their sessions.
He did not abuse their trust. His pictures are not revolting, but close, almost tender.

Master low-light techniques and capture the wedding images your clients crave.
Wedding photographers are under tremendous pressure to capture once-in-a-lifetime
moments—from the bride’s preparations, to the ceremony, to the reception and the exit. They
are forced to shoot in low light in every wedding— whether in poorly lit ceremony and reception
venues or, later in the day, when the peak lighting has faded. This presents myriad problems
and obstacles to achieving beautiful, artfully executed images of the events of the wedding day.
In this book, popular photo educator Brett Florens and contributors provide digital photo
techniques and lighting solutions— from reflectors, to LED lights, to flash—that will help you
ensure that no important image is lost to poor light or exposure concerns. From choosing and
using the best camera settings to scouting locations with interesting, workable light, to creating
gorgeous artistic effects, this book provides the skills you need to get THE shot at every stage of
the wedding and in any locale.
AUTHOR:
Internationally acclaimed South African photographer Brett Florens launched his career in 1992
while fulfilling national service obligations in the police riot unit. Fortuitously, a photographic unit
was formed to document political changes, and Brett jumped at the chance to join it. With no
photographic experience, Brett had to learn how to document volatile situations. His unit evolved
into a department dealing with politically motivated crimes and township violence, and
photography was necessary to record this important slice of South Africa’s history. Brett thrived
in the role and soon found himself in the thick of newsworthy events, creating images that found
a ready market in newspapers and other media. His work was being published around the world,
and his passion for photography took hold.
SELLING POINTS:
• Readers will learn how to set up their camera to ensure the best-possible capture in low light.
• Readers will learn how various lighting options can be used to produce a host of lighting
effects—from soft and romantic to dynamic and dramatic.
• Readers will learn tips and can study creatively inspiring images from a number of top
shooters in the field and replicate the look or use it as a springboard for unique images.

The Argentine photographer uses his camera to sketch the social and political scene of Venezuela
today. He reflects the main events in the country's everyday life, conflicts and demonstrations in
Venezuela's nascent democracy. His images serve as both a journalistic report and an urban
chronicle, as there is no dearth of images of the city itself, its motorways, constructions and
buildings.
They are where "the experimentation of new techniques and formats link the course of an
almost cinematographic recording which is interwoven with the narrative counterpoint of the
different interpretations possible in their compositions," say the curators Lorena Gonzalez and
Vasco Szinetar, who wrote the prologue to the book.

Explore the fascinating myths of Greek and Roman civilizations!
The tales of gods and heroes are often turned into tedious discourse that even Ovid would
reject. This easy-to-read guide cuts out the boring details, and instead, provides you with a
thrilling lesson in classic mythology.
From the heights of Mt. Olympus to the depths of the Underworld, this book takes you on an
unforgettable journey through all the major myths born in ancient Greece and Rome, such as
Achilles's involvement in the Trojan War; Pluto's kidnapping of the beautiful Proserpina; and the
slaying of Medusa by Perseus, the heroic demi-god. You'll also learn all about the wonders of the
world as well as the greatest creatures ever recorded in history.
Like Charon navigating the River of Wailing, 'Mythology 101' will guide you through the most
glorious (and completely terrifying) tales the ancient world has to offer.
AUTHOR:
Kathleen Sears has had a passion for classical mythology since first reading 'D'Aulaires' Book of
Greek Myths'. Since then, she has studied the Greek and Roman myths in their various
translations, interpretations, and adaptions.

'The fastest lorries in Europe', the Italian carmaker Ettore Bugatti laconically described Walter
Bentley's huge, snarling British race cars that aggressively dominated motor racing for years.
Driven by hard-partying young men known as the Bentley Boys, they consistently beat all
comers, winning the Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race five years out of six. They also dominated
Brooklands - the cradle of motor racing - and its thundering, steep banking, becoming the
world's most admired and feared sporting cars. Bought by Rolls-Royce in 1931, Bentley
languished in semiobscurity for decades as their parent company concentrated on its main
marque. In the 1980s Bentley re-emerged with mighty turbo-charged super cars, and saved the
financially ailing Rolls-Royce from going under. Bentley was back, and today is the world's
leading performance luxury car.

Was R.J. Mitchell truly a genius? Delving into the projects that remained stuck on the drawing
board
Reginald Mitchell's death at just 42, soon followed by the defence of Britain by pilots flying his
finest creation, the Spitfire, elevated him to legendary status. He spent his whole career as a
designer with Supermarine, whose products came from his pen or those that worked under him.
Histories focus on the successful aircraft; those that failed to make the grade tend to be glossed
over. But beyond this is a large body of concepts, early designs and projects that have never
seen the light of day, the ideas generated by Mitchell and his team that never left the drawing
board; stepping- stones on the way to later aircraft, sketched out concepts that withered on the
vine, and projects that failed to attract orders. This book attempts to look at the entirety of
Mitchell's portfolio in perspective. Was Mitchell truly a genius?
Hopefully this book will allow the reader to draw their own conclusions.

convertibles, the estate Clubman, the five-door Countryman, the Coupe, the Roadster and the
three-door crossover Paceman. Mini enthusiast and motoring journalist Sophie

development of the new Mini, launch and reception by the press, its many model variations and
special editons, and an owner's and buyer's guide.

Great Western Moguls & Prairies is a volume in Pen & Sword's series, 'Locomotive Profiles'. It
describes the conception, design, building and operation of the fleet of Prairie 2-6-2 tank engines
and the Mogul 2-6-0s designed by Churchward in the early part of the twentieth century and
perpetuated by his successor, Charles Collett, in the 1920s and 1930s. These engines formed the
backbone of the GWR locomotive fleet for secondary passenger and freight work for over half a
century and were some of those that remained to the end of steam traction on the Western
Region of British Railways. The book also covers some of the lesser known Moguls developed in
the Dean/Churchward transition at the end of the nineteenth century and briefly looks at the
Mogul and Prairie designs proposed by Churchward, Collett and Hawksworth but were never
built. The book is copiously illustrated with over 250 black and white and 60 coloured
photographs and is a comprehensive record of a group of locomotives found throughout the
Great Western and its successor, the Western Region, for over fifty years.

Chatham Railway. Ron's later photographs, from 1946 onwards, continue to show remaining
working pre- grouping locomotives and also portray the newer Oliver Bulleid-designed Pacifics
introduced during 1941. Visits to the Isle of Wight during the 1930s, '40s '50s and '60s enabled
him to capture images of almost the entire fleet of locomotives working there during those four
decades.

viewpoints of the Catalan capital? What Gaudi buildings are essential? Where does Barcelona's
modernism reach its zenith? Where to take the children? What's the best place to buy wine? And

urban details you are likely to miss. Barcelona is an incredibly rich city. Just the amount of
restaurants is overwhelming: this is the home of the universally praised "Mediterranean" diet ,

Shangri-la:
Along the Tea Road to Lhasa

The legendary Chamagudao, the Tea-Horse Road, winds through dizzying mountain passes,
across famed rivers like the Mekong and the Yangtze and past monasteries and meadows in a
circuitous route from Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces in western China to the Tibetan capital city
of Lhasa. Actually a network of roads, trails and highways, rather than one distinct route, the
Chamagudao once stretched for almost 1,400 miles (2350 km) a conduit along which the historic
trade between the mighty Chinese empire and the nomadic Tibetans linked remote villages and
ethnic groups. The Chinese military needed strong horses for their wars against Mongol invaders
from the north, and the fiercely religious Tibetans desired tea both for sacred rituals and
sustenance. Once tea was introduced into Tibet around the 10th century, demand for it grew.
Tea soon became a staple for Tibetans, especially when combined with their other staple, yak
butter. But with Tibet's extreme temperatures and altitudes, tea cultivation on a large scale was
impossible. This set the stage for the tea-horse trade, which, by the 11th century, flourished
along the Chamagudao, continuing until the 1950s.
AUTHOR:
Michael Yamashita was born in San Francisco, California, and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey,
in suburban New York City. He graduated from Connecticut’s Wesleyan University in 1971 with a
degree in Asian studies and went on to spend seven years in Asia. While he had no formal
instruction in photography, Yamashita managed to turn what began as a hobby into a career that
combined his two passions-photography and travel. A regular contributor to National Geographic
Magazine since 1979, his assignments have focused on Asia, but he has covered such
wide-ranging locations as Somalia and Sudan, England and Ireland, New Guinea and New Jersey.
Fluent in Japanese, he has covered the length of Japan, the country of his parents. Yamashita's
particular specialty has been following the "paths" of both man and landscape, resulting in stories
on Marco Polo, the Japanese poet Basho, the Chinese explorer Zheng He, the Mekong River and
the Great Wall. The Ghost Fleet, a feature film narrated by Yamashita and based on his article on
the world’s largest wooden armada and its admiral Zheng He, won the Best Historical
Documentary prize at the New York International Film Festival. Yamashita's sister was an
accomplished amateur photographer who sparked his own interest in the craft.
Elizabeth Bibb first moved to New York to attend Columbia University Graduate School of
Journalism and has since lived uptown, downtown and in-between. She is a writer and editor who
works in both magazine and book publishing. Bibb is a frequent collaborator with her husband,
photographer Michael Yamashita. She lives with her husband and daughter in Murray Hill in
Manhattan, as well as in rural New Jersey.
