"In April 1586, Queen Elizabeth I acquired a new and exotic title. A tribe of North American Indians had made her their 'Weroanza' - Big Chief. The Queen and her favourite, Sir Walter Raleigh, were delighted. His first American expedition had brought back a captive, Manteo, who's tattooed face had enthralled Elizabethan London. Now Manteo was returned to his homeland as a feudal lord. It was a strange story that was to have an eve more extraordinary twist. Ralegh's gamble would result in the first English settlement in the New World, but it would also lead to a riddle whose solution lay hidden in the forests of Virginia. A meticulously researched tale of heroism and mystery is illuminated by first-hand accounts to reveal a remarkable and long-forgotten story.' Weight (before packaging): 465g

Portrait, 2005. Softcover (16 x 23 cm), 355 pages. ISBN: 0749950862. Very Good condition. Bumped, lightly creased. "Henry Morton Stanley - the man who found Dr Livingstone - undertook the greatest African expedition of the nineteenth century. The ostensible aim was to rescue Emin Pasha, last lieutenant of the murdered General Gordon and governor of southern Sudan. Emin had been cut off by an Islamic jihad to the north, and was at the mercy of brutal slave traders. Instead of months, Stanley's trip took three years and cost the lives of thousands of people, as his column hacked its way through the Congo - the last great unexplored territory of Africa. Stanley's secret agenda was territorial expansion, and what it revealed so vividly in the accounts of those who accompanied him is the dark underside of both the man and the colonial impulse. Stanley's books have long provided the only official record of the expedition, but in this enthralling narrative, the authors expose the…

The wraps are bumped, chipped and lightly creased. Page edges lightly soiled, foxing. "The division of the Kurdish people among the modern nation states of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran and their struggle for national rights have been constant themes of recent Middle East history. They are also issues which, particularly in Iraq, Syria and Turkey, have never been so pressing as they are today. In this detailed history of the Kurds from the nineteenth century to the present day, McDowall updates his examination of the interplay of old and new aspects of the struggle, the importance of local rivalries with Kurdish society, the enduring authority of certain forms of leadership and the failure of modern states to respond to the challenge of Kurdish nationalism. Drawing extensively on primary sources, 'A Modern…

"It's 1995 and two scientists are poised to unlock an enigma: the source of the Earth's magnetic field. Without this invisible barrier, life on our planet would be impossible, wiped out by the violent onslaught of solar wind and cosmic rays. But what causes magnetism? And what makes Earth so magnetic? For centuries this has absorbed the world's greatest scientific minds. Albert Einstein called it one of the last great unsolved mysteries of physics. Now, using a supercomputer, these scientists will attempt to simulate Earth's magnetic field - everything know about it from four hundred years of direct observation and geologic records stretching back to the beginning of time. Their results will stun the scientific community."

"The history of China is, in a way, a history of battles and wars. In fact, these events were so important that many of them have given rise to household proverbs and become an organic part of the culture of the nation. The eleven stories in the book are, undoubtedly, the most representative of warfare in ancient China, including the earliest and largest wars and those that led to the fall of empires and dynasties. The wars described in this book are not only spell-binding stories, but they also reflect the wisdom of ancient strategists, providing an insight into the attitudes and thinking of the ancient people about warfare and a window into ancient Chinese society."
