Exploring some of the world's eeriest places, Abandoned Islands
features American civil war forts, Europe's last leper colony and
South Atlantic whaling stations, along with once grand mansions and
colonial settlements and churches, and much more. Arranged
geographically, the book takes us from New York's East River to
islands off Alaska, from a French Napoleonic-era fort off the coast
of Normandy to deserted villages on remote Scottish isles, from
Venetian sanatoria to Croatian penal colonies, Japanese mining
colonies to Sudanese deserted ports and abandoned atolls in the
Indian Ocean. Leafing through these pages, the reasons for
abandonment are revealed: climate change sealing off fresh water or
river channels, shifting economic forces making life too hard,
religious conflict, or wars disrupting daily life - or the absence
of war rendering a military settlement unnecessary. With more than
180 outstanding colour photographs and fascinating captions,
Abandoned Islands is a brilliant pictorial exploration of lost
worlds.
With his customary wit, charm and invention, Alex Quick walks the
reader through 102 springtime activities, ranging from the simple
to the more challenging; the familiar to the exotic.

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 using beautiful
traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques, Five Rings Illustrated
is presented in an exquisite illustrated edition with a brand new
modern translation.
