Summary

This vintage book contains Alexander D’Agapeyeff’s famous 1939 work, “Codes and Ciphers - A History of Cryptography”. Cryptography is the employment of codes and ciphers to protect secrets, and it has a long and interesting history. This fantastic volume offers a detailed history of cryptography from ancient times to modernity, written by the Russian-born English cryptographer, Alexander D'Agapeyeff. Contents include: “The beginnings of Cryptography”, “From the Middle Ages Onwards”, “Signals, Signs, and Secret Languages”, “Commercial Codes”, “Military Codes and Ciphers”, “Types of Codes and Ciphers”, “Methods of Deciphering”, etcetera. Many antiquarian texts such as this, especially those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

    There's no getting away from it; survival expert Bear Grylls has eaten some pretty extreme things in his time-live tarantulas, raw goat testicles, elephant dung, you name it. In a situation when your life depends on it, you need to put your prejudices aside to keep your stomach filled and your strength up.Whether it's mastering the art of foraging and cooking up a tasty feast around the campfire or learning about the more extreme end of wild food (ever tried a scorpion kebab?), there's a lot to learn when it comes to dinner time in the wild. This book will teach listeners all the necessary skills and techniques to obtain meals some might never have thought of as food in the first place-and, crucially, how to recognize plants and animals that might end up doing you more harm than good.In today's world, we rarely need to venture beyond the local supermarket and we turn our noses up at the thought of snacking on bugs and grubs. But out in the wild, Mother Nature has provided us with a plentiful supply of nutritious-if not always delicious-food for the taking. And when needs must, we just have to know where to look.
