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.

The Complete Illustrated Guide to Monty Python CDs and DVDS
Alan Parker and Mick O'Shea

This is the story of six men, five English and one from America, who, in the space of forty-five half-hour television shows, four full length feature films, a bunch of albums, the odd single; and some pretty impressive books, transformed everything we know about comedy today.

They were translated into German twice (Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus), banned on the big screen (Life of Brian) and played sold out shows at The Hollywood Bowl--yeah, just like The Rutles!

The impact that the members of Monty Python have had around the world is incredible. Now, Python associate Alan Parker has compiled the definitive guide to all "Monty Python" CDs and DVDs.

Includes previously unavailable material from the brand new Monty Python CD (released April 2006) and will be tied-in with the new CD

BEES MAKE THE BEST PETS
All the Buzz about Being Resilient, Collaborative, Industrious, Generous, and Sweet- Straight from the Hive
Jack Mingo

Writer and beekeeper Jack Mingo, who set up his first backyard hive in 2004, offers his humorous and unique observations of the world of the mystical, matriarchal, gentle, sweet bee in BEES MAKE THE BEST PETS.

Full of fun facts, Mingo shares a potpourri of bee and bee-keeping trivia; practical tips and legend and lore. And here are just some of the reasons bees make the best pets:
· They don't bark and whine all night if you leave them in the backyard. In fact, they rather prefer it.
· Bees don't demand petting, attention, or a food dish. They find their own food.
· Bees greet you with honey for your toast and beeswax for your candles, not dead mice.
· You will never be tempted to succumb to your worst self, dress your bees in funny costumes, and humiliate them on YouTube.
· When bees pay attention to your plants, it's not to dig them up. They actually help them blossom, bear fruit, and thrive.
· Bees don't track mud, poison ivy, or fleas into your house.
· Bees don't have kittens.
