The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively
bred over thousands of years. Today they’re man’s best friend
– but while many are pets, many, too, are working animals: for
the police, for the blind, as guard dogs, as sheepdogs, pulling
sleds and as therapy animals. Arranged in chapters covering
physical characteristics, senses, lifecycle, communication,
behaviour and working dogs, Dogs is a hugely informative visual
celebration. From huskies to German shepherds, from collies to
Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to
Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds, the book includes a huge range of
breeds. With fascinating captions on every page, even dog lovers
will learn something new. Dogs is a brilliant examination in 150
outstanding colour photographs.
On June 27, 1835, New Hampshire chartered the Boston & Maine
Railroad, and a juggernaut was born. By 1900, the B&M operated
some 2,300 miles of track in northern New England, having taken
over an astonishing forty-seven different railroads since its
inception. The B&M loomed particularly large in the Granite
State, where it controlled 96 percent of all tracks and was the
primary conveyance through the rugged heart of New England s most
formidable mountain range.
From the gravity-defying Mount Washington Cog Railway to logging
transport trains to the famous Depression-era Snow Train, "A
History of the Boston & Maine Railroad" traces the fascinating
history of New England's most renowned railway.
In this whimsically charming colouring book, 80 imaginative scenes
will come to life as you express your creativity. Featuring
coloured examples to follow if you wish, create new and interesting
fairy tale art and fill each page with colour. Whilst some designs
span across a double spread to fully capture a wider scene, others
stand alone on a single page.

America's southernmost state is a place of great diversity and
energy. The United States' fourth largest economy and home to more
than 20 million people, Florida also hosts more than 100 million
visitors every year, most of whom arrive to enjoy the beaches, warm
weather and entertainment of 'The Sunshine State'. Images of
tanning tourists, retired seniors and Mickey Mouse give an
incomplete picture of Florida. The state is also home to the
Everglades, a vast area of sub-tropical wetlands and swamps filled
with alligators and flamingos; Miami's Cuban culture and cuisine;
the international race course at Daytona Beach; the Kennedy Space
Center, which has been launching NASA space shuttles since 1964;
and the famous Florida Keys, a coral archipelago stretching out
into the Gulf of Mexico. Presented in a handy, pocket-sized
landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each
photo, Florida is a stunning collection of images bringing to life
the vitality of this sunny American state.

A cat's-eye view of history! Discover secrets, stories and facts
about history’s most fascinating felines! Young historians may
never look at the past - or cats! - in quite the same way again.
Cats have prowled Earth for millennia, yet the history of the world
has always been told through the eyes of humans. But now it's time
to - finally! - set the record straight and uncover the key role
that cats have played in shaping the course of history. Did you
know that ancient Egyptians loved cats so much that they had
special laws to protect them? Or that Isaac Newton's cat helped him
develop the theory of gravity? How about that Féliette, a French
street cat, was the first cat to go into space in 1963? A History
of the World (According to Cats!) introduces us to fur-raising
facts and adventures from around the world and across the
centuries. Discover unknown stories about real-life felines,
including WWII heroes, courageous adventurers and even an astrocat
that travelled in space (and made it back to Earth to tell the
tale), this book places cats as the heroes of their own stories.
Full of real-life stories, with all the boring stuff left out, this
book takes a look at the world's history through feline eyes.
