The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close-the meeting of the great detective & Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. Their struggle, seemingly to the death, was to leave many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but was also to lead to his immortality as a literary figure. However illogical as a detective story, The Final Problem has proved itself an unforgettable tale. The stories that precede it included two narratives from Holmes himself, on a mutiny at sea & a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house, as well as a meeting with his brilliant brother Mycroft, of whom Holmes says, If the art of the detective began & ended in reasoning from any armchair, my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived. ...

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes collects together eleven stories detailing the famous exploits & adventures of Baker Streets greatest detective.

Arthur Conan Doyles compilation was originally published in 1894 & contains these stories: " Silver Blaze", " The Adventure of the Yellow Face", " The Stockbrokers Clerk", " The Gloria Scott", " The Musgrave Ritual", " The Adventure of the Reigate Squire", " The Adventure of the Crooked Man", " The Resident Patient", " The Greek Interpreter", " The Naval Treaty" & " The Final Problem."

The Men Who Mapped the World takes you on a journey through the history of cartography & is essentially a history of the world & how its territories were discovered & explored. Maps have been an integral part of the way humans have lived for Approx. 8, 000 years. The first accurate maps were produced in Ancient Babylonia. The earliest world map is the Babylonian World Map, which is symbolic & not an exact representation. It deliberately doesn't include the Persians or the Egyptians. The Ancient Greeks also produced maps, although they were mostly imaginary reconstructions of the world. Maps have been crucial in the development of empires, have helped to win wars, & have encouraged man to venture further than his or her known boundaries. Beautifully illustrated, The Men Who Mapped the World is a fascinating look at how the science of cartography developed, how maps are used not just for getting from A to B, & why cartography is so important to our history of the world & the world we live in. Nowadays, we take the use of Sat Nav & Google maps for granted, but this book reflects on the fact that it all began with human imagination & the desire for knowledge. ...
