The best dad joke book you'll ever read. Yes, it's that bad. As the
ancient adage goes, 'A good dad joke is as bad as a bad dad joke'.
On that fuzzy logic alone, 100 per cent of the 180+ dad jokes in
this book are pure comedy gold. The jokes included in this tiny
tome are revered by dads all over the world - that's how bad they
are. Some jokes are old, some are new, some are unrepeatable - but
all of them are worn out and tired. If you're a dad, you'll love
them. If you're buying it for your dad, don't worry, the book is
little for a purpose: should the urge to throw it down the toilet
arise, it'll fit in one flush. Like dads themselves, these dad
jokes are absolute stinkers. They haven't showered or gone to the
gym in a while and, due to bloating, haven't seen their funny bones
in a long time. But, like dads themselves, you'd miss them if you
didn't hear them every once in a while. They are loveable in their
own charming way. But, remember, don't eat all these jokes at once
- you'll have a severe nervous breakdown. You have been warned!

Lighthouses may stand watchfully over serene waters one day and be
bombarded by immense waves the next. They may look out on the most
spectacular views, mark the entrance to a busy harbour or be placed
in some of the world's most desolate locations. To seafarers they
are guiding lights in dangerous waters, but, once decommissioned,
they can acquire an air of mystery. They are the most strictly
functional of all civilian buildings and yet they can be
surprisingly beautiful and varied in design. Are they square,
cylindrical or octagonal? Are they single structures or towers on
top of other buildings? Are they made of wood, stone, brick, or
concrete? Are they coloured with stripes or bands? From Lake
Michigan to the Arctic Circle, from the British Isles to Brazil,
Lighthouses celebrates more than 200 structures and the stunning
vistas that surround them. Taking examples from all around the
world, the book features an immense array of operating and disused
lighthouses from the 18th century to the present day, from those
marking ocean coastlines to structures besides lakes and on rivers,
from lighthouses cloaked in ice to Art Deco classics to tilting
structures abandoned in sand dunes. Presented in a handy
pocket-sized format, Lighthouses is arranged geographically, with
more than 200 colour photographs and captions explaining the
construction, operation and history of each entry.

Strategy is the craft of a warrior – Miyamoto Musashi Written
around 1645, Miyamoto Musashi’s Five Rings is a classic Japanese
work on mastery in swordsmanship, leadership and conflict. Musashi
was a swordsman, philosopher and strategist, and today his work
remains of influence not only in the realm of martial arts but in
the business world, too. Musashi’s no-nonsense approach to the
martial arts and combat includes eliminating technical flourishes,
understanding that technique should simply be understood as
defeating your opponent, and appreciating that the same qualities
apply in both small- scale and large-scale conflicts. Repeatedly,
he stresses the importance of learning through practice, rather
than merely reading about them. Produced in a handy pocket format,
Five Rings is presented in an exquisite illustrated edition with a
brand new modern translation.
