Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The reign of Richard III was one of the shortest in British history, yet he remains one of the most enigmatic and controversial personalities who occupied the throne. This informative guide traces the life of Richard and his seemingly contradictory qualities, of loyalty and perfidy, generosity and self-interest, honesty and manipulation. From his initial position far down the line of succession to his position as Lieutenant-General of the North and move to the throne in 1483, Richard's story is fascinatingly explored. Sections engagingly cover the controversies surrounding Richard such as the Princes in the Tower and the Battle of Bosworth. In February 2013, a skeleton uncovered in the ruins of Grey Friars Church in Leicester was identified as the remains of Richard III. The remains found were proved to be Richard's 'beyond reasonable doubt' through DNA tests. But what was this man really like? A ruthless manipulator, or a tragic figure? Michael St John Parker's guide delves into the life of Richard with colour photographs, illustrations and artefacts. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Pitkin presents the fascinating and engaging story of everyday life in and around castles - from 1066 to the 1400s. Alongside the Church, the stone castle was one of the enduring symbols of medieval life. To the poor, its intimidating walls represented the preordained social order. To many, the castle represented business, and the heights of ambition. And to the rich it represented fun and frivolity in the form of feasting, chivalry and games. The guide uncovers the complexities of life in and around such settlements: the family, the workers, the food, the wars and the entertainment.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A highly entertaining, myth-busting read for anyone with even a passing interest in science. Hot on the heels of the fascinating compendium Everything You Know About London Is Wrong, this next book in the series, written by author Matt Brown in his trademark humourous style, debunks the scientific myths we all take for granted. Does nothing travel faster than the speed of light? Well, in certain circumstances, a winded tortoise can go faster. Are there actually seven colours in a rainbow? Think again. And our author merrily explains why our hair and nails don't keep growing after we die and why chemicals in our diet might not be the toxic threats we are led to believe. Covering everything from pseudoscience to phenomena of physics, scandals of space and scientific misquotes, Everything You Know About Science is Wrong shatters a range of illusions we have accepted unquestioningly since childhood and demystifies this most puzzling of subjects. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Probably originating in Central Europe in c.1500 BC, the Celts' culture has exerted a powerful influence in the West ever since, not least from their boundless imagination of lore and legends. Transmitted orally for centuries, Celtic myths and legends began to be collected and written down in the Middle Ages. These tell us much about the Celtic way of life, reflecting a love of the land, of fighting and drinking, and a delight in the richness of the world around them as well as respect for the great mythology of the sacred land. Packed full of beautiful colour photographs of the landscapes, and including a map of legendary and mythic sites in the British Isles, this guide details myths of heroes, voyages and quests as well as the legacy of Celtic mytholody. Magic and wonder, humour and romance, and heroic deeds all await in this colourful and entertaining guide. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is increasingly important nowadays for senior personnel in the construction industry to be aware of the wider social, organizational and economic context within which they work. The impact of building in the community is such that it is no longer excusable (if it ever was) to design and build them in isolation from other buildings and from their immediate surroundings. Equally, to achieve a satisfactory end result, which is both profitable and adequately serves the needs of a building's users, it is vital for the range of professions involved in construction projects to work harmoniously and effectively together. These are the two main themes of the third volume on building technology within the present series. It outlines the framework within which technological decisions have to be made, by setting out the factors which have to be considered at each of the crucial stages in a project - design, production and maintenance. It does not give answers to specific problems, or go into the details of building construction; rather, it presents issues and concepts, and techniques for analyzing and solving problems which arise in practice. This book is relevant to the needs of students taking the CIOB Member Parts 1 and 2 examinations. It is also suitable for use on degree and HND courses in Building and Surveying; by those preparing for the professional examinations of the RIBA, RICS and IQS; and as background for Continuing Professional Development. Ian Chandler is also the author of Materials Management on Construction Sites. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. For as long as the cultivation of alpine plants has been a significant activity, the need to imitate certain conditions of their natural environment has been apparent. To cultivate them to an acceptable standard requires a well-drained compost where the available plant foods are released slowly, low temperatures and the correct moisture balance. Light levels also need consideration, for one of the main challenges in growing alpines away from their native habitats is to reproduce the tightness of form and condensed appearance that frequently characterise healthy plants in the wild. Finally, when they do flower, it is not always at a time when viewing them in the open garden is convenient or desirable. Much can be achieved in the open garden, and the number of alpines that will thrive outside is certainly far greater than people have until quite recently acknowledged. But even given piecemeal winter cover, extra efficient drainage and well-judged planting positions, many alpines will, indisputably not tolerate the local climate in all its phases. The alpine house, which in one form or another has been with us for over a century, provides ideal conditions, under glass, for the cultivation of many alpines and the over-wintering of others. Many growers would consider the ability to grow plants in an alpine house as one of the most important and challenging aspects of alpine gardening, particularly if they exhibit their plants. This book provides a thorough and complete overview of the care and cultivation of alpines under glass. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
