Intended as an informative but light and accessible exploration of
all things Geordie, this book examines the origins of the Geordie
dialect of Tyneside, through its Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and
Dutch roots. It includes an A-Z glossary of Geordie words along
with explanations of the Northumberland burr and topographical
words like chare, lonnen, heugh and haugh. The book examines the
Geordie dialect's relationship to the Scots language and Geordie's
place in a wider European context. The book includes a table
comparing Geordie and north European words including those of
Scandinavia. The two main theories explaining how the word Geordie
came about are examined linking its roots to either the Jacobite
rebellion of 1715 or the development of a miners' safety lamp - the
Geordie lamp - by George Stephenson in 1815. Comparisons are made
to the neighbouring dialects of Sunderland, Northumberland and
Teesside and the book pinpoints the origins of local rivalries
within the region. Some of the best-known Geordie songs are
featured in the book including the Blaydon Races, Keel Row, Bonny
Bobby Shafto and Cushie Butterfield with an explanation of their
origins. There is a brief history of Newcastle Brown Ale, Newcastle
United, the Geordie Netty and some examples of Geordie food. There
are features on the keelmen, a particularly distinct Tyneside
community who made a significant contribution to Tyneside culture
and an examination of their links to the Tudor and Elizabethan
clans called the Border Reivers. The reiving roots of the Geordie
surnames Charlton, Robson and Armstrong are explored in which it is
revealed that the region's passion for football is more than four
centuries old.

If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win numerous
battles without a single loss. – Sun Tzu, The Art of War Written
in the 6th century BC, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is still used as
a book of military strategy today. Napoleon, Mae Zedong and Douglas
MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration from it. And beyond
the world of war, modern-era business and management gurus have
also applied Sun Tzu’s ideas to politics and corporate strategy.
This pocket illustrated dual-language edition not only presents the
original Chinese characters with James Trapp’s translation on the
facing page, it also tests Sun Tzu’s ideas against history. Each
of the 13 chapters includes a new commentary giving examples of how
Sun Tzu’s wisdom has been borne out on the world’s
battlefields. When, for example, has information provided by spies
changed the course of a battle? How has history shown Sun Tzu’s
ideas on the importance of terrain in conflict to be true? And
where can we best find examples of strategic warfare being waged?
From the ancient world to the 20th century, the battles featured
will be illustrated with colour battle maps, paintings and
artworks. Of immense influence to leaders across millennia, The Art
of War Illustrated is a classic text richly deserving this
illustrated and expanded dual-language edition.

When a mysterious green knight arrives unbidden at Camelot one Christmas, only the young and inexperienced Gawain is brave or foolhardy enough to take up his challenge . . .
This story, first told in the late fourteenth century, is one of the most enthralling, enigmatic and beloved poems in the English language. Simon Armitage's version is meticulously responsive to the tact, sophistication and dramatic intensity of the original. It is as if, six hundred years apart, two poets set out on a journey through the same mesmeric landscape - physical, allegorical and acoustic - in the course of which the Gawain poet has finally found his true translator.
The poem's key episodes have been visualised into a series of bold, richly textured screen-prints by British artist Clive Hicks-Jenkins. They are reproduced here, alongside Armitage's revised text, to create a special edition of this marvellous classic.
