An awe-inspiring journey through the eons & across the globe in search of visible traces of evolution in the living creatures that have survived from earlier times. In this groundbreaking book, prize-winning science writer Richard Fortey chronicles life's history not through the fossil record, but through the stories of organisms that have survived, almost unchanged, through geological time. Fortey takes us on a journey to ancient worlds: on a moonlit beach in Delaware where the horseshoe crab shuffles its way through a violent romance, we catch a glimpse of life 450 million years ago. Along a stretch of Australian coastline, we bear witness to the sights & sounds that would have greeted a Precambrian dawn. &, in the dense rainforests of New Zeal&, where the secretive velvet worm burrows into the rotting timber of the jungle floor, we marvel at a living fossil which has survived unchanged since before the break-up of Gondwana, the ancient supercontinent, over 150 million years ago. Written with Fortey's customary sparkle & gusto, this wonderfully engrossing exploration of the world's oldest flora & fauna brilliantly combines the best science writing about the origins of life with an explorer's sense of adventure & a poet's wonder at the natural world. ...

In November 1942, as the Battle of Stalingrad continued to rage, the Red Army launched a devastating counter-attack from outside the city...

The Soviet forces smashed the German siege & encircled Stalingrad, trapping some 290, 000 soldiers of the German 6th Army inside. For almost three months, during the harshest period of the Russian winter, the besieged German troops endured atrocious conditions.

Freezing cold & reliant on dwindling food supplies from Luftwaffe air drops, thousands died from starvation, frostbite or infection, if not from the fighting itself. This important work reconstructs the grim fate of the 6th Army in full by, for the first time, examining the little-known story of the field hospitals & central dressing stations.

The author has trawled through hundreds of previously unpublished reports, interviews, diaries & newspaper accounts to reveal the experiences of soldiers of all ranks, from simple soldiers to generals.

The book

Includes::
first-hand accounts of soldiers who were wounded or fell ill & were flown out of the encirclement; as well as those who fought to the bitter end & were taken prisoner by the Soviets.
