These seven characters go through a dance of attraction & repulsion, misunderstanding & revelation, the centre of which is the enigmatic Carel himself

Every significant choice, every important decision we make, is determined by our perception of time. This is the most influential force in our lives, yet we are virtually unaware of it. In this fascinating book, the award-winning past president of the American Psychological Association, Philip Zimbardo, & his co-author, John Boyd, show how:

- the way you perceive time is as unique as your fingerprints
- these individual time perspectives shape your life, & the world around you
- you can change the way you perceive time, so you get the most out of every minute
- if you don't, the power of time in the modern world is so immense that it will take its toll on you

The Time Paradox is a highly readable, stimulating look at a subject that absorbs us all.

This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare & Henry who have known each other since Clare was six & Henry was thirty-six, & were married when Clare was twenty-two & Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets & he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous & his experiences are alternately harrowing & amusing. The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry & Clare's passionate love for each other with grace & humour. Their struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control is intensely moving & entirely unforgettable. ...

The Time Team Guide To The History Of Britain

We all know that the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, London's 'one big burning blaze' tore through the capital in 1666 and that Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in 1939, but many of us remember the most important moments in our history by the folk stories which are attached to them. So we remember Henry VIII for his wives rather than the Reformation and Charles II for climbing a tree rather than the Civil War. But if we set aside these stories, do we really know what happened when, and why it's so important?

Which came first, the Bronze Age or the Stone Age? Why did the Romans play such a significant role in our past? And how did a nation as small as Britain come to command such a vast empire? Here, Tim Taylor and the team of expert historians behind Channel 4's
Time Team, answer these questions and many more, cataloguing British history in a way that is accessible to all. This book will give you and your family a clear and concise view of what happened when, and why.
