John Quirk loves history, drawing and boats and these three
elements come together in this attractive and entertaining book. He
has sought out obscure episodes or familiar events from the past
and written engagingly about them, illustrated with his excellent
colour cartoons. Where possible he relates the historical
happenings and maritime moments to the present day, be it when
tracing the history of the screw, misinformation (fake news) during
the Second World War, plague ships in the fourteenth century, or
Russia's ill-fated war with Japan in 1904. The events covered range
from Henry V's invasion of France in 1415, consisting mainly of
chartered French ships and paid for partially by Dick Whittington,
to episodes in the Second World War, like the Somali Camel Corps
capturing a German U-boat. Other historic figures involved include
Horatio Nelson, Napoleon, Rudolf Diesel and Lawrence of Arabia. The
25 stories and over 100 cartoons are a treasure-trove of
compelling, salt-infused, tales told with imagination and humour,
with an eye on the present day, which will be enjoyed by anyone
with an interest in maritime history (or even just history).

concerns (some life and death), war, violence, loss, mystical
experiences, or even getting through just one day. To assist with
these varied issues, Inspirations for Survivors comes to you with a

messages and beautiful imagery to encourage growth, healing, and
new constructive thought patterns as a survivor, you will be drawn

The act of blessing is a powerful one in Christianity with deep
biblical roots, reaching back to the early chapters of Genesis. It
expresses a very basic human instinct - the longing for protection,
peace and happiness. So it is not surprising that the world is full
of blessings for that most basic of human provisions - a place to
call home. Peter Watkins has collected together over 100 house
blessings from widely differing cultures and sources - the Bible,
Celtic spirituality, Latin prayers (translated here!), prayers of
St Francis and other saints, poems of blessing from Robert Herrick
and other literary figures, contemporary liturgies for rites of
blessing for each room of a home - and much more.
Fountain-Pens - The Super-Pen for Our Super-Men Ladies! Learn To
Drive! Your Country Needs Women Drivers! Do you drink German water?
When Britain declared war on Germany in 1914, companies wasted no
time in seizing the commercial opportunities presented by the
conflict. There was no radio or television. The only way in which
the British public could get war news was through newspapers and
magazines, many of which recorded rising readerships. Advertising
became a new science of sales, growing increasingly sophisticated
both in visual terms and in its psychological approach. This
collection of pictorial advertisements from the Great War reveals
how advertisers were given the opportunity to create new markets
for their products and how advertising reflected social change
during the course of the conflict. It covers a wide range of
products, including trench coats, motor-cycles, gramophones,
cigarettes and invalid carriages, all bringing an insight into the
preoccupations, aspirations and necessities of life between 1914
and 1918. Many advertisements were aimed at women, be it for
guard-dogs to protect them while their husbands were away, or soap
and skin cream for 'beauty on duty'. At the same time, men's
tailoring evolved to suit new conditions. Aquascutum advertised
'Officers' Waterproof Trench Coats' and one officer, writing in the
Times in December 1914, advised others to leave their swords behind
but to take their Burberry coat. Sandwiched between the formality
of the Victorian era and the hedonism of the 1920s, these charged
images provide unexpected sources of historical information,
affording an intimate glimpse into the emotional life of the nation
during the First World War.

From all over the world, picture book illustrators sent original
images and personal messages, in postcard form, for Migrations, an
exhibition at the Biennial of Illustration, Bratislava, in 2017,
curated by the University of Worcester's International Centre for
the Picture Book in Society. Over fifty of the cards are reproduced
in this very special book. The book is divided into themes of
Departures, Long Journeys, Arrivals and Hope for the Future. The
facsimile postcard text includes personal messages of hope from the
illustrators, as well as quotes from writers including Emily
Dickinson, WB Yeats, John Clare, and Anita Desai. Robert Macfarlane
has written a poem specially for the postcard drawn by Jackie
Morris. Illustrators include Christopher Corr, Marie-Louise Gay,
Piet Grobler, Petr Horacek, Isol, Jon Klassen, Neal Layton, PJ
Lynch, Roger Mello, Jackie Morris, Jane Ray, Chris Riddell, Axel
Scheffler and Shaun Tan. In total, illustrators from 28 countries
have contributed. Migrations carries a powerful message about human

Explore ideas, consider the big questions and learn life lessons in
your garden. Gardening is an innately thoughtful as well as
practical pastime: planning ahead, imagining how plants will grow,
deciding what will make a 'good' garden, wondering at the beauty of
flowers and noticing how ecosystems work. This delightful and
engaging collection of essays illustrate how many philosophical
ideas arise naturally in gardeners' everyday work. Growers by their
nature are in fact already philosophers: existentialists who try to
live and work by their own rules in a garden; stoics who put up
with slug damage again and again, and try to work in harmony with
nature; and practical quantum scientists who witness incredible
processes going on in plant cells beneath the ground. In Philosophy
for Gardeners, Kate Collyns uses aspects of gardening to introduce
and explore a range of philosophical ideas and schools of thought;
cultivating a greater understanding and appreciation of intriguing
concepts, propagated from science, evolution and aesthetics through
to politics, economics and ethics. Broken into four sections, Soil,
Growth, Harvest and Cycles, each section explores questions of
philosophy through the lens of the garden. A fascinating read, this
book is as perfect for students of philosophy as it is for
gardeners, filled with thought-provoking reflections on life, being
and existence.
