First published in 1977, this cult classic has been reissued for a
new generation of ghost-hunters. This book is for anyone who has
shivered at shadowy figures in the dark, heard strange sounds in
the night, or felt the presence of a mysterious ‘something’
from the unknown. Ghost stories are as old as recorded history and
exist all over the world. Many of the different kinds of ghosts
that are thought to haunt the Earth and their behaviour are
described here. You will meet haunting spirits, screaming skulls,
phantom ships, demon dogs, white ladies, gallows ghosts and many
more. This book also explains the techniques and equipment of ghost
hunting and tells how lots of ‘ghosts’ have been exposed as
fakes or explained away as natural events. Also included are some
theories that attempt to explain the possible existence of ghosts.
With a brand new foreword by BAFTA-winning writer, comedian and
actor Reece Shearsmith, otherwise the book remains unchanged from
the original.

Christopher Maynard!
As America watched the fall of the Berlin Wall with great
enthusiasm, President George H. W. Bush called the incident simply
""a good development."" He knew that the Cold War was far from over
and that bringing it to an end would require not only symbolic
gestures but also practical diplomacy.During Bush's presidency
(1989-93), the Berlin Wall fell, the Warsaw Pact dissolved, Germany
was reunified, and the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Yet, many
people believe the Cold War ended under Reagan and that Bush's
foreign policy achievements were merely an extension of Reagan's
policies.In this in-depth look at the Bush administration's
handling of the end of the Cold War, author Christopher Maynard
argues that Bush actually made a fundamental shift in foreign
policy regarding the Soviet Union. In part, he believes, historians
have downplayed Bush's contribution because they have focused on
the strong ideological rhetoric of Reagan and Gorbachev without
looking at the day-to-day process of policymaking during the Cold
War.""Out of the Shadow"" incorporates a variety of important,
previously unused sources. Its focused treatment of the topic will
appeal to scholars interested in both the first Bush presidency and
the Cold War.
