Description:

In this first comprehensive study of Ancient Greek warfare for over 35 years, Tim Everson discusses clearly and thoroughly the background, weapons and tactics of the ancient Greeks. He describes the weapons, armour, helmets, chariots and other military equipment used in from c. 1550 to 150 BC and traces how and when various pieces of equipment came into use; whether they were introduced from other regions or were native developments; the effectiveness of the armour and weapons used and when and why things changed (or not). Set against a background of a broad history of Greek warfare – how they fought, why they fought and the developments in tactics over the centuries – he examines both the archaeological evidence of actual finds, as well as ancient depictions of military equipment on vases and in sculpture and literary evidence of Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides and many other ancient authors.

Description:

Have you ever wondered why we say, “It’s raining cats and dogs” and other funny old sayings like, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”? Often we know what they mean, but do we know where they originated?
Well in this book, you are about to find out!
For example, when we want to wish someone a good nights sleep, people often say, “Night night, sleep tight.” Who would have thought that this dates back to Shakespeare’s time, when mattresses were secured onto a bed frame by ropes. In order to make the bed firmer and more comfortable, people would have to pull on the ropes to tighten the mattress and hence the saying came about.
This delightful book is full of well known sayings, beautifully matched with fun and original illustrations, which will make you laugh out loud. Part of the fun is seeing whether you can guess the saying just from looking at the picture.
This book will appeal to lovers of trivia, history and language. It makes the perfect little gift for the someone that has everything! Keep it in on the coffee table and provide a little bit of amusement for all!

Description:

At a time when science can seem complex and remote, it has a greater impact on our lives, and to the future of our planet, than ever before. It really matters that its discoveries and truths should be clearly and widely communicated. That its enemies, from the malicious to the muddled, the self-deluding to the self-interested, be challenged and exposed. That science should be brought out of the laboratory, taken into the corridors of power and defended in the maelstrom of popular culture. No one does this better than Richard Dawkins.

In bringing together his forewords, afterwords and introductions to works by some of the leading thinkers of our age – Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert – and a selection of his reviews, both admiring and critical, of a wide range of scientific and other works, Books do Furnish a Life celebrates the writers who communicate the ideas of science and the natural world in both fiction and non-fiction. It celebrates the courage of those who write about their experiences of escaping religion and embracing rationality, of protecting the truths of science and analytical rigour against charlatanry and obfuscation.

Less cost! More features! Bragging rights!
Let’s face it: Woodworking isn’t cheap. Wood and materials alone can cost a small fortune. And well-designed commercial woodworking machines are often so expensive that they are beyond the reach of many home woodworkers. So what’s a woodworker to do? Do what Stumpy Nubs does and build your own!
In The Homemade Woodshop, James Hamilton, creator of the popular Stumpy Nubs website, shows you how to build woodworking machines for a fraction of the cost of store-bought models-and with more features to boot! You’ll discover 12 detailed projects for building precise, durable shop-made machines including:
• Sliding-top router table that makes joinery safe and easy
• Multi-function downdraft table that combines dust collection with countless workholding applications
• Sliding crosscut table that gives your table saw the precision and convenience of a high-end European saw
• 24" band saw that offers all of the throat capacity of an industrial model in a size that will fit on a benchtop
• Crosscut "super-sled" that allows you to create box joints, splined miters, tenons and more
• Table saw workstation that affords you a complete workshop in a 4′ x 8′ footprint
• And 7 more!
The projects in this book not only save you money, but they allow you to add more features and, ultimately, greater precision and more versatility to the machines in your shop. And let’s face it: Having a shop outfitted with machines that you built yourself is just cool.

Description:

The turbulent Tudor Age never fails to capture the imagination. But what was it truly like to be a woman during this era?
The Tudor period conjures up images of queens and noblewomen in elaborate court dress; of palace intrigue and dramatic politics. But if you were a woman, it was also a time when death during childbirth was rife; when marriage was usually a legal contract, not a matter for love, and the education you could hope to receive was minimal at best.

Yet the Tudor century was also dominated by powerful and dynamic women in a way that no era had been before. Historian Elizabeth Norton explores the life cycle of the Tudor woman, from childhood to old age, through the diverging examples of women such as Elizabeth Tudor, Henry VIII’s sister; Cecily Burbage, Elizabeth’s wet nurse; Mary Howard, widowed but influential at court; Elizabeth Boleyn, mother of a controversial queen; and Elizabeth Barton, a peasant girl who would be lauded as a prophetess.
