Still recruited from the Pathan tribes that live in the no-man`s land between Pakistan & Afghanistan, the Khyber Rifles continue to stand guard over this area, one of the world`s most volatile borders.

Jules Stewart tells the incredible story of Colonel Sir Robert Warburton, the man who raised the Khyber Rifles in 1878, & describes the Khyber Rifles in action, in particular in the 1897 Frontier uprising & the Third Afghan War. In 1947, Pakistan gained its independence & the Khyber Rifles took on new duties, amongst them pursuing drug smugglers & terrorists. In the past two years, they have been actively involved in the war against Al Qaeda & the opium trade.

The idea of this book is to tell children what happens when boats are built, whether this is in a working boatyard or in someone's back garden. Wherever this happens children are drawn to watch, & sooner or later they will be asked to hold something, or else they will do so of their own free will, out of interest. This book is about conveying & explaining the sights, sounds, smells & most of all the feel of boatbuilding to youngsters, to inspire & entertain them. The lively appealing illustrations will both explain the various stages of building a boat & will entertain young readers, inspiring them to build...who knows what! ...

One of the titles in a series of topographic maps covering much of north-west Africa, produced as part of the IMW* project in 1960’s. Each map covers an area spanning 6° in longitude & 4° in latitude. There is some variation in colouring & the depiction of terrain, but hill-shading, spot heights & contours are used to show the general relief. Additional graphics show features such as dunes, rock outcrops, cliffs, sand areas, escarpments, marshes, seasonal lakes & watercourses, & areas liable to flooding. Bathymetric contours are also included. Communications detail

Includes:: roads, major trails & railways, although there is some inconsistency in colouring & the extent of classification, e.g. not all maps distinguish seasonal roads. On most maps intermediate road distances are indicated on main routes. Symbols show airports, mosques, mines, oil & gas fields, lighthouses, ruins & significant isolated buildings. Administrative boundaries are marked & latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals, with further margin ticks at 1’ intervals. The map legend is in French only on some sheets, & in English & French on others.* The International Map of the World was a project conceived in the early 20th century to compile a world map series at 1:1, 000, 000 through the efforts of participating nations. The value of the program has declined since 1970 & the IMW is no longer regarded as an active international series.
