50 BATTLES THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
William Weir
50 BATTLES THAT CHANGED THE WORLD looks at the clashes the author believes have had the most profound impact on world history. Listed in order of their relevance to the modern world they range from the ancient past to the present day and span the globe many times over. This book is not so much about military strategy as the implications of the battles that were vital in shaping civilisation as we know it. Some of the battles in this book are familiar to us all-Bunker Hill which prevented the American Revolution from being stillborn and Marathon which kept the world's first democracy alive. Others may be less familiar-the naval battle at Diu (on the Indian Coast) which led to the ascendancy of Western Civilisation and the discovery of America and Yarmuk which made possible the spread of Islam from Morocco to the Philippines. All battles are human dramas and those discussed here include some of history's most fascinating characters-from Narses the eunuch ex-slave who reconquered the Roman Empire to Don Juan of Austria the swashbuckling bastard who stopped the Turks at Lepanto. From George Dewey the elderly fire-eater who sank the Spanish fleet at Manila Bay and defied the German Kaiser to Enrico Dandolo the blind ancient who led the misguided crusade that conquered impregnable Constantinople. Battles have been fought lives have been lost causes have been advanced and stories of great warriors have been told over and over again. Here are the stories of the 50 greatest and most significant battles and those who fought won and lost them.

CAT Photomanual and Dissection Guide Fred Bohensky
In the BOHENSKY DISSECTION SERIES each book has been designed to guide the student through the study of anatomical structures. The books do this through the use of clearly marked photographs and illustrations. Accompanying text offers the student both easy-to-follow dissection instructions and factual information about the section under observation. At the end of each chapter there are tests which can be used for self-study or for course evaluation. Within the traditional dissection portion of a biology course many programmes include the sheep heart eye and brain. Within many of these guides the author has incorporated photographs of these structures to more closely follow standard course curriculum. The author also provides important information on human organs such as the eye ear and heart. In this way the student can better understand the role and function of these organs as they relate to human life processes. Add to this each book's large-size format lay-flat spiral binding and reasonable cost and you can see why the Bohensky Dissection Series is an important tool for any student of biology.
