The Butterflies of Britain & Ireland provides comprehensive
coverage of all our resident and migratory butterflies, including
the latest information on newly discovered species such as Cryptic
Wood White and the Geranium Bronze. When first published in 1991 it
won the Natural World Book of the Year Award and won plaudits from
all quarters. Fully revised, considerably expanded and reset in
2010, it was judged that year's Guardian Nature Book of the Year.
Now revised again to reflect the latest research findings, and with
up-to-date distribution maps, this remarkable book is THE guide to
the appearance, behaviour, life cycle and ecology of the
butterflies of Britain and Ireland.
Written by a man who has lived and sailed a great part of his life
in the waters around Chichester Harbour, this book aims to capture
the beauties and excitement of the place. It tells the history of
the region in a series of chapters, ranging from the arrival of the
Romans to the evacuation from Dunkirk, that recreate a series of
local incidents.
Academy Award-nominated Norwegian drama based on explorer Thor
Heyerdahl's 1947 expedition in which he journeyed across the
Pacific Ocean on a raft from South America to Polynesia. Heyerdahl
(Pål Sverre Hagen) aims to prove his theory that the Hanau epe, an
ancient Peruvian tribe, settled on the Polynesian islands 1500
years ago. To do so, he builds a raft named Kon-Tiki which
resembles the type of vessel the tribe would have had the
technology to make. Then, with five crew members and a parrot he
sets off from Peru and takes to the ocean, despite the fact he is
unable to swim or sail, to show that such a journey would have been
possible even in the pre-Columbian era. During the 4300 nautical
mile-voyage he and his crew encounter numerous difficulties. Will
they make it safely to Polynesia and prove Heyerdahl's theory?

The true story of Derek Bentley (Christopher Eccleston), hanged,
aged 19, in the 1950s after a controversial decision holding him
responsible for the murder of a police officer. Despite a history
of mental illness, and with the court accepting that he did not
actually pull the trigger, Bentley was still sentenced to death -
on the basis that his ambiguous cry of 'let him have it!' caused
his young accomplice to fire the fatal shot. The release of this
film focused attention on the case once more, and Bentley
eventually received a posthumous pardon.
