The History of Science Tom Jackson Kondeatis Designs Limited, Christos, Bath, England, 2019

Mankind has forever strived to learn. The tribe with the better weapons can hunt more efficiently, defend itself better and take what it lacked from their neighbours.

The History of Science follows mankind s journey from primitive stone tools and weapons, through the bronze and iron ages, through the Renaissance and on to a quest for the stars. With informative text, illustrations, diagrams and maps and a continuous timeline The History of Science will take you on a journey the like of which has never been seen before.

The history of World War II Anthony A Evans; Dave Gibbons Worth Press Limited, First published, Bath, 2017

Only six decades ago the greatest war ever fought drew to a close - a global conflict that many people still remember because they were part of it. They can vividly recall what they went through and the dramatic events that unfolded across the globe. Their children and grandchildren hear the stories, see the movies and are fascinated by what happened. World War II remains a source of unending fascination for us all. This book chronicles that epic war in its many locations and in its many forms, from the exhausting heat of Burma's jungle to the icy waters of the Arctic Convoys, and from the spectacular panzer thrusts of the blitzkrieg to the desperate hand-to-hand conquest of tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean. Throughout the book runs a continuous timeline, month by month identifying the events in each theater of war. This is illustrated with more than 400 photographs and maps, with data tables, biographies of the main leaders and generals, and assessments of the armies, their weapons and personnel. In addition to the military history there are sections on resistance in occupied countries, civilians at war, the Holocaust, and war crimes trials. Clear, concise and painstakingly researched, it makes the ideal companion to major histories and other media, a quick and easy reference for experts and enthusiasts alike

Dracula (Signature Classics) Bram Stoker Kondeatis Designs Limited, Christos, Signature Classics, Bath, England, 2019

xxxv, 406 pages : 22 cm When Irish born Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897, vampires were creatures of myth and fantasy. It had taken seven years of research into European folklore and a nightmare (allegedly caused by eating too much crab) about a vampire king rising from the grave before the book was finished. There were many adventure writers at this time penning books about impending threat and invasion of the Empire and Dracula was well received. However, despite literary acclaim, Stoker was never able to make much money from his work and died in 1912 almost penniless. It was not until the advent of film that a new genre was truly born. From Nosferatu to the Blade Trilogy vampires are very much here to stay Originally published: 1897 "Includes full colour features of: Bram Stoker timeline, full character list, map of Dracula's route to England" --Cover Includes bibliographical references

Classic Fairy Tales From The Brothers Grimm Gebrüder Grimm [Brothers Grimm] Worth Press Limited, Signature classics (Bath, England), Bath, England, 2019

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German academics who collected and published folklore during the 19th century. Many of the tales they wrote down had previously only been passed down orally. The first collection of their fairy tales was published in 1812 to a lukewarm reception as they were not considered suitable for children. Over the next 45 years they were to be rewritten, expanded upon and sanitized seven times. There were originally around 150 stories, but now they are credited with having penned over 200. Their tales will be forever immortalised in popular culture helped in no small way by a string of Walt Disney films

Mathematics An Illustrated History of Numbers (100 Ponderables) Tom Jackson Shelter Harbor Press and Worth Press Ltd, Hardcover w/ fold-out Time Chart, PS, 2012

Legend has it that the first magic square, where all lines and diagonals add up to the same figure, was revealed more than 2,000 years ago when a river turtle appeared to have ancient Chinese numerals inscribed on sections of its shell. Patterns are everywhere in nature, and counting, measuring, and calculating changes are as old as civilization itself, as are many of the theorems and laws of math. The Pythagorean Theorem was used to plot out fields for planting crops before the ancient Greek Pythagoras was even born, but the story begins long before that, with tally marks on rock and bone surviving from the Stone Age.<p>Here is the essential guide to mathematics, an authoritative reference book and timeline that explores the work of history's greatest mathematicians. From the teasing genius of Pierre de Fermat, who said he knew the answers but rarely gave them up, to the fractal pattern discovered by Waclaw Sierpinski now used to plan the route a mailman takes, here are 100 landmark moments in this intensely rigorous discipline, seen through the eyes of the people who lived them.</p><p>Glimpse the abstract landscape of infinite numbers and multi-dimensional shapes as you learn about the most famous math men of all. Pythagoras had a love of numbers so strong it led to a violent death. Then there is Fibonacci, whose guide for bookkeepers changed the way we add and Descartes, who took inspiration from a fly to convert numbers into shapes and back again, changing math forever.</p><p>Over many centuries, great minds puzzled over the evidence and, step-by-step, edged ever closer to the truth. Behind every one of these breakthrough moments there's a story about a confounding puzzle that became a discovery and changed the way we see the world. Here are one hundred of the most significant and we call these <i>Ponderables</i>. In <i>Mathematics: An Illustrated History of Numbers</i>, you'll get a peak into the <i>Imponderables</i>, too, the mysteries yet to be solved that will one day lead great thinkers forward to an even greater understanding of the universe.</p><p>Includes a removable fold-out concertina neatly housed in the back of the book. This fold-out provides a 12-page <b>Timeline History of Mathematics</b> that embeds the story in historical context and shows <b>Who Did What When</b> at a glance. The reverse side features some of the greatest mathematical enigmas and interesting facts about the world of numbers.</p>

The power of ... herbs : origins, traditions, facts & flavours Davies, Gill, 1946- author Worth Press Ltd, Place of publication not identified, 2015

The oldest document reporting the use of herbs is the Ebers Papyrus which is dated as being from around 1,500BC. This Egyptian scroll, measuring nearly 20 meters in length, lists some 700 magical formulae and remedies. Undoubtedly herbs were being used long before this official report and throughout the centuries have been a powerful element in diet, medicine and magic. They have been used to flavour food, make perfumes, create potions and spells and to serve countless medical and spiritual needs. Although any part of the plant might be considered for herbal medicine flowers, leaves, roots, seeds, berries, resin or bark, in culinary use, only the leafy green parts are classed as herbal; other portions serve as spices. This exquisite album is a portrayal of herbs in all their floral glory. It discovers anecdotes, traditional lore, historical comment and a long-lost era of superstition and magic, together with many ideas and hints on how to get the best from your herbs, be it in your cooking or as an alternative medicine.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Hound of the Baskervilles (Signature Classics) Arthur Conan Doyle Worth Publishers, Incorporated, Signature classics (Bath, England), Bath, England, 2017

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set in 1889 largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Holmes and Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival. One of the most famous stories ever written, in 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel". In 1999, a poll of "Sherlockians" ranked it as the best of the four Holmes novels.

Worth the Detour : A History of the Guidebook Nicholas T. Parsons History Press (US), Bookwire GmbH, New York, 2013

Where would we be without guidebooks? All over the world travellers check out the sights of their chosen destination with their noses glued to a guidebook, and rely on them for every aspect of their visit - ordering meals, understanding the locals or avoiding wandering into the red-light district. Few realise the guidebook has a long and distinguished history, going back to Biblical times and encompassing major cultural and social changes that have witnessed the transformation of travel. Much as the modern "Blue Guide" will tell the visitor what the essential sights of Paris or New York are so, in the fourth century AD, a "Guidebook to the Seven Wonders of the World" was produced. In 1480, an 'official' guidebook to the Holy Land warned 'For the sake of good relations with foreign hosts, a grave and courteous manner must be maintained ...'. This is very similar to the advice given in one of the most recent guidebooks to Iraq: 'Be especially courteous when dealing with officials ...if you upset them, they can be your worst enemies'. In this delightful book Nicholas Parsons takes us on a fascinating journey through centuries of travel writing.
