Today most people, with some notable exceptions, would agree that humans have been responsible in changing the Earth?s atmosphere in dramatic ways over the last two centuries and thus causing ?global warming?. Were we to agree, or doggedly ?stick our heads in the sand? and flatly disagree, that the Earth is experiencing a phase of global warming, we all have to accept that very strange things have happened in recent years. Precipitation in exc...

In the comparatively short time since 1953 there have been ground-breaking discoveries that have changed the way we look at ourselves, and have been instrumental in addressing many of the problems associated with 'genetic diseases' in general.A new vocabulary has evolved in the light of these discoveries. Intron, exon, prion, hox, codon, polymerase, epistasis, gyandromorph, telomere, Morgellon's, BRCA and many others have crept into the vocabu...

This book represents a 'snapshot' in time. Tomorrow we will discover something new about the humble atom which may modify or even radically change the paradigms we have held so sacrosanct until then. It is hoped, though, that it will present sufficient ground-work as to provide a spring-board to students in their quest for a greater understanding of the atom and of its fundamental particles. It is also hoped that a more profound understanding ...

Pick up any mathematics book and take an objective look at the contents of any one topic. The chances are that the writer falsely believes that prior essential knowledge has already been gained as a precursor to addressing the topic. In truth, the student may have indeed gained some insight to essential knowledge, but this is never made completely clear at the outset and consequently the student is, more often than not, left to look for such r...

Hundis refer to financial instruments which evolved on the Indian sub-continent and appear to have been in use there from at least the sixteenth century. They were used in trade and credit transactions and, as such, were used as remittance instruments for the purpose of transfer of funds from one place to another. In the days of the Princely States and the British Raj these hundis served as Travellers Cheques. What makes hundis so interesting ...

Mathematics and Statistics in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry' comes as the third in the series, following in the footsteps of 'Easy as You Go!" and 'A-Star Question Bank. It fills the vacuum which exists, being caused by the apparent difficulty in professional Biologist, Psychologist and Chemist to effectively teach the necessary Mathematics for their students to pass examinations. Much of the mathematics and statistics for students' studie...

The main character in this book is Jenny, a beautiful Persian cat. She is a very special cat, though, because she has one thing that no other cat normally has. She has two tails! She lives with her two carers, John and Nomsa and they happen to be very fond of animals, especially cats. Jenny therefore has quite a few friends. It turns out that these friends are also special in one sort of way or another. But then, every cat has something specia...

The first US Wooden Nickel 'Flat' was issued in Tenino as a result of the Great Depression in 1931. The issue of such an instrument to cope with the shortage of money at the time proved such a success that other communities quickly followed suit. It was not long before communities were issuing Wooden Nickel 'Flats' to commemorate land-marks in their history. This book looks at just a mere sampling of these interesting bits of Americana and wha...

This book takes a look outside the box in many Biological subject areas. That is not to say that only Ôoutside the boxÕ topics are addressed. The student will find that the understanding of other topics is strengthened by a more liberal approach, looking in greater detail than would generally be done in the normal text book. Furthermore, a Ôstep-by-stepÕ approach has been adopted for many topics, where tricky concepts are built upon brick-by-b...

Easy as you Go' was originally intended to be solely a support for the learning of Mathematics. However it has evolved into something more than just that. The two volumes are packed with a total of 950 pages of mathematics, covering no less than 230 topics and containing a multitude of worked examples, equations and formulas, graphs and charts, tables, diagrams and illustrations. Together, the two volumes address all the significant issues enc...

He is forced to change his outlook to life many times through his experiences in Africa, Europe, and the USA, as well as the variety of people with whom he comes into contac...

The notes exhibited in this catalogue are Hell 'Bank' Notes. In fact, they are what is called 'faux' money and as such are certainly not justifiable bank notes. They are used in China and many countries in Eat Asia specifically to burn as offerings to the spirits of departed loved ones in the belief that such money can be drawn from the Bank of Hell and used in Paradise. In this context, Hell and Heaven are synonymous with one another. They ar...

Johnny Duggan joined a bank in the newly independent country of Zambia, and soon found that life in Africa was quite different to that back in England. He soon found himself embroiled in a sequence of events that followed him up to the desolate Northern Province in Zambia where life took on a quicker pace than that in England. Johnny became drawn into what turned out to be a wide-spread conspiracy which one of Johnny's bank colleagues had to b...

This book presents over 100 A-star problems which you may find in any GCSE Mathematics examination paper. The book comes in two 'flavours', one book contains the 'problems only' and the other with the 'same problems but accompanied by the solutions'. One is suitable as a class-book and for homework, whilst the other for self-study and enrichment. The choice is yours.

The Third book follows Johnny to Switzerland and then back to Africa, firstly to South West Africa (now Namibia), and then to South Africa and then the USA before he finally returns to the United Kingdom to hang up his roving shoes. It was not long after Johnny had ret...
