The Krumbles seem an ordinary family - busy mum, hardworking dad,
and their two children Liam and Piper. Boys, as Piper would tell
you, are annoying and boring. Girls, as Liam would say, are equally
annoying but also devious and at times, too smart for their own
good! When Liam makes himself invisible Piper sets out to discover
the truth, is he really a scientist? Or a scammer? Sisters always
seem to have a way of finding out. Liam then discovers a secret
cellar full of rats and zombies, and wants to turn it into his very
own laboratory, but Piper has other ideas. In a dark and spooky
corner Liam finds a briefcase full of amazing secret formulas that
once belonged to Professor Nutbolt, a mad old scientist who
mysteriously vanished years ago. Now that the world of science is
at his feet, will Liam discover the truth behind the Professor's
disappearance or will he become a victim too? Liam and Piper are
about to find out...

The Golf Swing Exposed shows you how the swing works. It exposes
the essential drivers and the swing's natural and instinctive
action. How do the great players move? What aspects of the swing do
they have in common? And how do they do it? Golfers know the quest
for a reliable swing can be a frustrating experience. The good news
is your brain, hands and feet control the action; they are the team
that harmonize balance and acceleration. Armed with this knowledge
you can start to build your own reliable swing. Color photographs
throughout the book illustrate and underscore the swing's innate
simplicity. The legendary Ben Hogan revealed his own swing secrets
in the foreword to a 1985 edition of his celebrated book. What he
had to say holds vital information for all golfers. The Ben Hogan
chapter also features rare photographs taken at his last recorded
swing demonstration. The pictures, alongside his canny advice, go
right to the heart of the matter. The Golf Swing Exposed busts the
common myths like weight shift, head movement and centrifugal
force. This book shows you easy ways to test and feel the real
forces that control your swing. And if your swing goes wrong,
you'll know why and how to fix it.
This textbook is endorsed by OCR and supports the specification for
AS and A-Level Ancient History (first teaching September 2017). It
covers the whole of Component 1, both the compulsory Period Study
and the three optional Depth Studies: Period Study: Relations
between Greek states and between Greek and non-Greek states,
492-404 BC by Steve Matthews and James Renshaw Depth Study: The
Politics and Society of Sparta, 478-404 BC by Charlie Cottam Depth
Study: The Politics and Culture of Athens c. 460-399 BC by David L.
S. Hodgkinson and James Renshaw Depth Study: The Rise of Macedon,
359-323 BC by Lucy Nicholas How and why did a small group of city
states defy the might of the Persian Empire? Why did the same city
states subsequently descend into 60 years of conflict among
themselves? Were Sparta and Athens very different? How did
Alexander later redefine the Greek world? These are the sort of
questions that you are required to consider for A-Level Ancient
History. This book investigates how the birth of democracy and the
defeat of Persia allowed a flourish of political and philosophical
thought that subsequently defined western civilisation. It further
explores the contrasts between Spartan and Athenian culture. The
ideal preparation for the final examinations, all content is
presented by experts and experienced teachers in a clear and
accessible narrative. Ancient literary and visual sources are
described and analysed, with supporting images. Helpful student
features include study questions, further reading, and boxes
