Books Contemporary Fiction Books Alex would like to believe she’s a woman who has it all. Or, that’s what she tells everyone...including herself. But this is far from true. Actually she’s on the cusp of losing her home, her dream career as a writer is in tatters, her ex won’t speak to her, & her mother’s gone forever. But then a chance meeting with a stranger named Hope gives her the opportunity of a lifetime, when Hope jokes that perhaps Alex should take over her job in a cafe while she goes travelling. Just at that moment, it sounds like the answer to all her problems. So Alex persuades Hope to let her step into her shoes for a month. She brushes away Hope’s attempts to explain about the café, instead demanding to know more about the owner Tom. But she should have asked to know more. Because the ‘ Wrong Order Café’ isn’t like anywhere she’s ever been before. & Alex’s life is about to change forever… Product Information:  •†ISBN:†9781835618981 •†Author: Sam... ...

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. ...

Product Description


Details:
In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known military practice – & indeed the laws of physics – they believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, &, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them.

They were the First Earth Battalion. & they really weren’t joking. What’s more, they’re back & fighting George Bush’s War on Terror. Often funny, sometimes chilling & always thought-provoking, The Men Who Stare at Goats is a story so unbelievable it has to be true.

Ideal for:
A great read for fans of the hit film starring George Clooney.

This paperback book measures: 19.7 x 12.9 x 1.8cm.
