Histories

A very readable guide which fills the gap between academic analysis & less critical retellings of the myths & legends.

A Brief Guide To Star
Wars ? The
Unauthorised Inside
Story
£1.99
George Lucas was a rebel, refusing to make films in the style of the dying studio system, relentlessly pushing the technology of the day & almost alone in understanding the potential of merchandising, but he was a rebel who built an empire. From the staggering unexpected success of the original Star Wars in 1977, when cinema attendances exceeded 20 million for the first time since 1963, through The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi, then the ?dark times? ? the 16 years leading to the blockbusting prequel trilogy ? this is the fascinating story of how it all happened. Life-long Star Wars fan & movie journalist Brian J. Robb edited the official Star Wars magazine for a decade & visited the sets of Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith in Australia (observing director George Lucas at work), as well as the famous Skywalker Ranch. He has interviewed many of the stars & crew of all six Star Wars movies. ...

A Brief History Of The Anglo Saxons
A Brief History Of The
Anglo Saxons
£8.99
Starting AD 400 (around the time of their invasion of England) & running through to the 1100s (the ' Aftermath'), historian Geoffrey Hindley shows the Anglo-Saxons as formative in the history not only of England but also of Europe.

The society inspired by the warrior world of the Old English poem Beowulf saw England become the world's first nation state & Europe's first country to conduct affairs in its own language, & Bede & Boniface of Wessex establish the dating convention we still use today. Including all the latest research, this is a fascinating assessment of a vital historical period.

A Brief Guide To The Great Equations By Robert Crease, Hobbies &
Interest Book

Here are the stories of the ten most popular equations of all time as voted for by readers of Physics World, including - accessibly described here for the first time - the favourite equation of all, Euler's equation. Each is an equation that captures with beautiful simplicity what can only be described clumsily in words. Euler's equation [eip + 1 = 0] was described by respondents as 'the most profound mathematic statement ever written', 'uncanny and sublime', 'filled with cosmic beauty' and 'mind-blowing'. Collectively these equations also amount to the world's most concise and reliable body of knowledge. Many scientists and those with a mathematical bent have a soft spot for equations. This book explains both why these ten equations are so beautiful and significant, and the human
stories behind them. This book has 272 pages and is 19.4 x 12.8 x 2.2 cm
