After a family day out, Rebecca would record where they had been
and what they had done whilst visiting a landmark, point of
interest or town in Yorkshire/North Lincolnshire. The journal
aspects to 'The Visiting Book' allows users to doodle, colour,
comment and remember their fantastic days out. Rebecca has
illustrated the book to encourage not only people to visit these
places but to also remember them in the most unique way! The
possibilities are endless, this is just the beginning with covering
Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
This guidebook introduces the reader to the visible memorabilia of
science and scientists in Budapest - statues, busts, plaques,
buildings, and other artefacts. According to the Hungarian-American
Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyoergyi, this metropolis at the
crossroads of Europe has a special atmosphere of respect for
science. It has been the venue of numerous scientific achievements
and the cradle, literally, of many individuals who in Hungary, and
even more beyond its borders, became world-renowned contributors to
science and culture. Six of the eight chapters of the book cover
the Hungarian Nobel laureates, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences,
the university, the medical school, agricultural sciences, and
technology and engineering. One chapter is about selected secondary
schools from which seven Nobel laureates (Szent-Gyoergyi, de
Hevesy, Wigner, Gabor, Harsanyi, Olah, and Kertesz) and the five
"Martians of Science" (von Karman, Szilard, Wigner, von Neumann,
and Teller) had graduated. The concluding chapter is devoted to
scientist martyrs of the Holocaust. A special feature in surveying
Hungarian science is the contributions of scientists that left
their homeland before their careers blossomed and made their
seminal discoveries elsewhere, especially in Great Britain and the
United States. The book covers the memorabilia referring to both
emigre scientists and those that remained in Hungary. The
discussion is informative and entertaining. The coverage is based
on the visible memorabilia, which are not necessarily proportional
with achievements. Therefore, there is a caveat that one could not
compile a history of science relying solely on the presence of the
memorabilia.

A guidebook to 40 walking routes on the Isle of Man. The varied
selection of day walks, which range from 1 to 14 miles long (2 and
22km) take in the best scenic routes right across this delightful
island. Many routes can be combined to create longer more ambitious
walks. The Isle of Man offers the walker a wonderfully diverse
range of landscapes within a relatively compact island setting, and
the routes reflect this diversity - scale the highest point
Snaefell (620m), cross wide-open moorlands, drift over beaches and
climb coastal clifftops. The assortment provides walkers with
fantastic trails, along with detail on the wildlife, wild flowers,
unique history and points of interest encountered. Alongside
detailed route descriptions and OS 1:50,000 maps (blown up to
1:40,000 for greater clarity), there is plenty of practical
information on getting to and around the Manx Isle and advice on
making the most out of any exploration of the Isle of Man.

They return home to discover it has a secret drawer containing a
