While there are many commercially available weapons and accessories
for military miniatures, sometimes you wish you had a different
rifle or sword with which to arm your latest figure. In Kim Jones's
third informative book on modeling military miniatures, he shows
you how to construct that perfect weapon so your figure will stand
out from the rest. Using step-by-step photographs Kim illustrates
his tried and true methods of creating rifles, swords, pistols,
cartridge pouches, and other accessories to add that extra touch of
realism for your creation.
Building upon his previous book, Sculpting Miniature Military
Figures, Kim Jones shows how his various techniques and hand-made
tools can make the sculptor's project easier. Kim gives tips on
constructing weapons, adding straps and belts to a figure, and
creating realistic terrain using materials that can be found around
the house. In this new book, Kim helps solve some of the seemingly
difficult problems that can confront the novice sculptor. Each
technique is detailed using close-up photography and clear, concise
captions to explain every step. This book is a must for not only
military miniaturists, but modelers of all kinds.
Once you've finished your latest military miniature, you'll want to
display it at its best. You could simply attach it to an attractive
base, but just imagine posing it in a slice of terrain in which
your particular soldier fought. A British paratrooper from World
War II charges from a bombed-out building. A pair of Buffalo
soldiers defend a waterhole in the Arizona desert. In his latest
book, Kim Jones shows you in step-by-step, close-up photographs how
to do just that. The artist describes his techniques for creating
groundwork, foliage, and diorama settings. With this book you can
use his proven methods for creating scenes for your military
miniatures to give that perfect finishing touch.

The Amoeba's Secret tells the story of Dr Bruno Marchal's quest for
understanding some of the deepest aspects of reality, starting from
an initial interest in invisible immortal beings as a child, and a
realisation that amoeba are both invisible and effectively
immortal. This led to questions touching some of the most
fundamental theorems of computer science and mathematics, and a
surprising reversal in the ontological status of psychology and
physics. For this, he was awarded a PhD at the university of Lille,
and received the coveted Prix Le Monde de la Recherche
Universitaire. This book, Le Secret de l'Amibe, was commissioned by
Le Monde for publication by Grasset, and then mysteriously, the
prize was withdrawn, and the book never published. Now translated
into English for the first time, you can read the incredible
journey and ordeals that Dr Marchal faced. Plus, this book remains
the most accessible introduction to Dr Marchal's ideas, as he
explains what motivated him to formulate and study these questions
in this way.
