The Eastern Fells include the greatest single concentrated mass of high ground in Lakeland: a tremendous barrier running north & south high & steep all along its length rising to above 3000 feet on Helvellyn
- the most-often climbed mountain in the Lake District. Popular resorts such as Ambleside & Grasmere lie in this sector of the fells as does the beautiful Patterdale valley (the best base in Wainwright's view for exploring the area). The Pictorial Guides by A. Wainwright written half a century ago have been treasured by generations of walkers. This edition of The Eastern Fells is freshly reproduced from Wainwright's original h&-drawn pages.

A groundbreaking historical study Norman Stones The Eastern Front 1914-1917" was the very first authoritative account of the Russian Front in the First World War to be published in the West. In this now-classic history he dispels the myths surrounding a still relatively little-known aspect of the war showing how inefficiency rather than economic shortage led to Russias desperate privations & eventual retreat. He also interprets the connection between the war & the chaos that followed arguing that although fighting had almost ceased by the end of 1916 Russia was still in turmoil
- undergoing a period of change that would inexorably lead towards revolution. "A landmark in its field.. .it is still the best book on the eastern front". (Orlando Figes). "A classic account.. .that even after thirty years remains essential reading". (" Sunday Times"). " Without question one of the classics of post-war historical scholarship". (Niall Ferguson). " One of the outstanding historians of our age". (" Spectator"). " Fills an enormous gap in our knowledge & understanding of the Great War". (" Sunday Telegraph". Norman Stone is one of Britains most celebrated historians. He is the author of " The Atlantic & its Enemies" " Hitler: An Introduction" " Europe Transformed" & " World War One: A Short History"."
