Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Peter Lancaster
R395 Discovery Miles 3 950 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Have you ever experienced a strong compulsion to head for the hills? In your dreams have you ever pictured yourself running free over some beautiful moorland landscape, with the wind in your hair and the heather tickling you elsewhere? Perhaps, until now, you have put it down to eating cheese before going to bed? Well, maybe it is the Call of the North - inviting you to explore the Pennines. Maybe it is time to set aside life's problems, step into the footprints of the heroes of old and lose yourself in some exquisite wilderness. Join Peter Lancaster as he dodges death and disaster travelling the Pennines, with only 'Auntie' (his 1963 Rover) for company...apart from his wife Jane, sheepdog and pint of beer. When life is an uphill struggle, why not pause and take a look at the view for a while?

Eats, Cheats and Leaves (Paperback): Jane Bailey Eats, Cheats and Leaves (Paperback)
Jane Bailey
R271 Discovery Miles 2 710 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Eats, Cheats and Leaves (How to deal with your philandering cad) is a humorous, self-help book in light verse. Beautifully illustrated by the cartoonist Gemma Hastilow (of Horrible Science fame), each verse takes us through the traumas of the woman betrayed, and how to deal with that philandering man. Starting with the caveat that: It isn't just men who're unfaithful, Some women are equally bad, But this booklet is written For women once bitten By the classic philandering cad. It therefore makes no apology for addressing women, who are told how to spot the philanderer, and then, for the unfortunate majority who don't spot him in time, how to deal with him and the chaos he causes. The verse takes us through 5 clearly marked parts, from discovery, through grief, anger and action-plan to recovery, and each part addresses the reader directly. This is a book for all women who have ever been betrayed, and for all women who are likely to be betrayed (so pretty much every woman). It is fast-paced, optimistic and a bit of a lark. As Caroline Sanderson from The Bookseller says: 'This witty and wise consolation in verse should be made available on prescription for every wronged woman. It dispenses oodles of sisterly succour, and lashings of healing humour.'

Here is a collection of short stories and doggerel, told by a man who, due to retirement, has too much time on his hands.

Nothing is straightforward and very little goes right. Whether it's riding on a toboggan with his granddaughter or taking his cat to the vets, the results are invariably the same - disaster.

A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.

Species evolve over time to become perfectly adapted to their environments, right?Well, sometimes. Consider that an elephant will not grow a seventh set of teeth, even though wearing down the sixth will condemn it to starvation; that hosts of the European cuckoo seem unable to tell that the overgrown monster in their nest is not their own chick; and that whales are fully aquatic mammals who, millions of years after first abandoning the land, still cannot breathe underwater. This book is about evolution, but not its greatest hits. Instead, it explores everything in the animal kingdom that is self-defeating, ill-made, uneconomical, or downright weird – and explains how natural selection has favoured it. In the grand struggle for survival, some surprising patterns emerge: animals are always slightly out-of-date; inefficiency tends to increase over time; predators usually lose, and parasites usually win. With equal parts humour and scientific insight, Andy Dobson is here to explain the how and why of evolution’s limits and liabilities.

David Pannick
R2,009 Discovery Miles 20 090 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

There are law books about constructive trusts, the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964, and the rule in Foss v Harbottle. This law book is not one of them. Writer David Pannick has always been much more interested in unpersuasive advocates and injudicious judges. In this entertaining and sometimes shocking collection of his fortnightly columns from The Times (London), Pannick passes judgement on advocates who tell judges that their closing submissions to the jury will not take long because "I would like to move my car before 5 o'clock." Pannick also sentences judges who claim to have invisible dwarf friends sitting with them on the Bench, who order the parties to "stay loose - as a goose," and who signal their rejection of an advocate's argument by flushing a miniature toilet on the bench. Pannick will entertain and inform the reader about judges, lawyers, legal culture, and law reform. I Have to Move My Car is an ideal gift for all those who appreciate the lighter side to court life.
