In Search of Gems


An evocative journey through geology and landscape, seen through the eyes of one of Scotland’s most beloved poets and storytellers. Blending lyrical prose with personal reflection, Kenneth Steven explores mountains, glens and shores in search of gemstones and crystals. He recounts his delight at discoveries of gold glinting in Highland burns, freshwater pearls embedded in mussel shells, and aquamarines, garnets, amber and agates hidden in the wild places where others rarely roam. Beguiled by their forms, colours, and sometimes glittering bril- liance, he finds the thrill of unearthing riches more precious even than the gems themselves. Stone by stone, he considers the origins and allure of these natural treasures, revealing not only their geo- logical stories but their place in history and imagination. Steven’s deep connection to the land shines through as he interprets the meaning and magic, inviting readers to see both the landscape and its hidden gems with fresh wonder.

The Rise of Mammals in Africa


A beautifully illustrated account of the evolutionary journey of mammals in Africa. For more than 80 million years, "Island Africa" was a vast, isolated landmass south of the ancient Tethys Sea. Despite this isolation, waves of pioneering mammals crossed the sea, sparking remarkable evolutionary success stories that include the ancestors of elephants, primates, aardvarks, and more. Follow the extraordinary evolutionary journey of African mammals in this definitive account of how Africa's unique isolation shaped the development of some of Earth's most iconic species. Emmanuel Gheerbrant, a world-renowned expert in mammal evolution, weaves together paleontological discoveries and cutting-edge molecular research to illuminate this fascinating history. Through a comprehensive exploration of fossil evidence and stunning original artwork, this book reveals the origins and adaptations of extraordinary creatures, from the extinct Arsinoitherium and Moeritherium to today's elephants and lemurs. Gheerbrant explores the environmental and climatic forces that shaped these mammals, the impact of Africa's collision with Eurasia, and the enduring legacy of its evolutionary innovations on today's global biodiversity. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, The Rise of Mammals in Africa provides an unparalleled window into a critical chapter of natural history. Whether you're a paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, or a curious reader captivated by Africa's natural wonders, this book is a gorgeously illustrated resource for understanding the origins of life as we know it.

Jaguar XJ40


With a heritage that harks back to the early Twenties, Jaguar is one of UK’s oldest automobile marques still in business. As well being famous for several iconic sports cars such as the XK120, E-type and XK8 along with its many successes in international motorsport, it also has a reputation for producing elegant, luxurious and powerful saloons. These have included the Mk VII, Mk 2 and Mk X, plus eight generations of XJ, all of which set a new standard for their performance, ride and comfort. Launched in 1986, the fourth XJ model – internally known by Jaguar as the XJ40 – not only had a new and more modern design than its more traditional predecessors but also featured an innovative, and at the time class-leading, specification that included a clever onboard diagnostic system. However, never a car without issues – the XJ40’s gestation alone took well over a decade – its many reliability issues would have a long lasting impact on both its reputation as well as Jaguar itself.

Kertészet kézikönyve


A kertészet olyan foglalkozás, amely kellő szakértelemmel és szorgalommal gyakorolva nemcsak anyagi hasznot hajt, de egyszersmind sok gyönyörűséget is okoz a vele foglalkozóknak. Ezen kívül pedig egészségi tekintetben is igen nagy jelentőséggel bír, mert akárhány olyan esetet lehetne itt felsorolni, amidőn egyes betegségeknél, mint pl. a hisztéria, neuraszténia s az idegbetegség más nemeiben szenvedők nemcsak megkönnyebbülést, hanem gyakran teljes gyógyulást is elértek a kertészet különböző ágainak odaadó művelése folytán. Azt is mindnyájan tudjuk, hogy az ülő foglalkozást folytató emberekre mennyire felélénkítő hatással bír úgy testileg, mint a kedélyre nézve, ha a romlott, nehéz levegőjű, füsttel telt irodából vagy munkateremből kiszakadva a szabad levegőn bármely, testi erőt igénylő munkát végezhetnek. Azt hiszem tehát, hogy az ilyen emberek közül mindenkit érdekelni fog annak rövid leírása, hogy miként tehetjük magunkat úgy a konyhakerti, mint a gyümölcsös és virágoskertben való munkálkodásunk által saját magunkra és másokra nézve hasznosakká. - írja előszavában maga a szerző. A könyv az 1912-ben megjelent mű reprint változata.

F8U Crusader


This richly illustrated volume explores the F8U Crusader’s storied role in Cold War and Vietnam-era naval aviation, from setting speed records to earning its reputation as the “Last of the Gunfighters.” With unmatched dogfighting performance and a legacy spanning over four decades, the Crusader remains a standout in the history of carrier-based aircraft. Building upon the expertise of the authors and historians of the Naval Institute Press, the Naval History Special Editions are designed to offer studies of the key vessels, battles, and events of armed conflict. Using an image-heavy format, these Special Editions should appeal to scholars, enthusiasts, and general readers alike. From its first flight in 1955, the F8U Crusader proved to be an extraordinary aircraft, establishing a renowned fighter legacy for naval aviation. Building on its success with the F4U Corsair, aviator pioneer Chance Vought brought the Navy into the supersonic age with the Crusader, the first carrier-based fighter to exceed 1,000 mph in level flight. The Crusader earned the Navy its first Thompson Trophy for military aircraft speed and won the Collier Trophy for its innovative carrier suitability features. In 1957 future astronaut John Glenn set a new intercontinental speed record in an F8U-1P, flying from California to New York in just 3 hours and 23 minutes. At a time when guns were being replaced by missiles, Vought designers retained an integrated aircraft cannon, solidifying the Crusader’s reputation as the “Last of the Gunfighters” and earning the loyalty of its pilots. The contribution of the Crusader to U.S. Cold War operations was substantial. The F8U-1P photoreconnaissance variant, the longest-serving Crusader model, debuted operationally during the Cuban Missile Crisis, providing irrefutable low-level imagery of Soviet activity. During the Vietnam War, Crusader pilots achieved an enviable 6-to-1 kill ratio, outperforming both Air Force and Navy F-4 Phantom pilots—a testament to the aircraft’s maneuverability and the dogfighting ethos of the Crusader’s pilot community. The Crusader retired from U.S. Navy service in 1987, but its legacy endured as it continued to serve with the Philippine Air Force and the French Navy until 1999, forty-four years after its first flight. Author Ernest Snowden, a former naval aviator, provides an in-depth look at the design and operational history of this iconic aircraft, making this book a must-read for air combat history enthusiasts.
