- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles.

From the acclaimed author of The Adventures of Henry Thoreau & The Story of Charlotte`s Web comes the new story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the mind behind Sherlock Holmes & the creator of the modern detective novel As a young medical student at the University of Edinburgh, Arthur Conan Doyle studied under the vigilant eye of Dr Joseph Bell. He observed as Dr Bell identified a patient`s occupation, hometown & ailments both imagined & genuine from the smallest details of dress, gait & speech. Although Doyle was training to be a surgeon, he was meanwhile cultivating essential knowledge that would help him to develop & define the art of the detective novel. From Doyle`s early days surrounded by poverty & violence, to his escape to University & finally to his first days as a surgeon in his own practice, acclaimed author Michael Sims traces the circuitous yet inevitable development of Arthur Conan Doyle as the father of the modern mystery, whose most famous creation is still the most well-known & well-loved of the canon`s many members. Through Sims`s deft analysis of Doyle`s childhood & adult life, the incomparable Sherlock Holmes emerges as a product of Doyle`s varied lessons in the classroom & professional life. Building on the traditions of Edgar Allan Poe, Emile Gaboriau, & even Voltaire, Doyle`s new detective is not just a skilful translator of clues, but a veritable superhero of the mind in the tradition of his most esteemed teacher, Dr Joseph Bell. Sims`s Arthur is just as vivid Doyle`s own Sherlock Holmes in this enthralling biography of the man behind the most famous detective of all time. ...
