- self-styled Queen of the Headhunters
- changed everything. This is the compelling story of her part in their downfall.

Variations may occur on charts adopted into the Admiralty Series that were originally produced by another hydrographic office. Where these symbols & abbreviations are easily understood they are not included as examples in this title.

Money has always been a subject of interest, today more so than ever. For centuries it has performed a key role around the globe most obviously in trade & the economy, but also in the development of national identities, religions & the spread of empire. Introduced as measurements of weight to serve the most basic of functions, these currencies have changed appearance & meaning throughout the ages & developed into complex monetary units we know today. With a brief but informative biography of each of the currencies, it reveals where & how each originated, the various roles they performed, & how they spread, survived & changed over the years. Some may have fallen into disuse but they might also have been revived in new & unexpected forms, & in different locations. Charting the rise & fall of each, the book will look at how the movements, developments & designs of currencies can highlight broader themes of history such as the characteristics of empire, trade & migration & the personalities of kings & rulers & how they can be identified as barometers for the political fortunes of a nation. Packed full of facts & interesting stories, & thoughtfully illustrated with images from the British Museum & beyond, Symbols of Power is an illuminating account of world currencies & the crucial role they play in our world. ...

From internationally acclaimed YA author M. T. Anderson comes the true story of a city under siege, thrillingly told & impeccably researched. In September 1941, Adolf Hitler`s Wehrmacht surrounded Leningrad in what was to become one of the longest & most destructive sieges in Western history. After three years of bombardment & starvation, culminating in the bitterly cold winter of 1943-44, more than a million citizens lost their lives. In order to survive, many residents burned books, furniture & floorboards to keep warm; they ate family pets &, eventually, each other.
