  Although cryptozoology is often scoffed at and widely considered a pseudoscience, one of the reasons it made men like Barnum rich and continues to fascinate people today is the fact that people realize they’ve only scratched the surface when it comes to identifying all the different forms of life on Earth. As Martin DelRio pointed out in The Loch Ness Monster, “Animals previously unknown to science have been found more than once in the past hundred years. For instance, there's the megamouth shark (megachasma pelagios), a fifteen-foot-long creature weighing nearly a ton. The first specimen was discovered on November 15, 1976, when it was found entangled in the drag anchor of a U.S. Navy ship. The new creature wasn't described scientifically until 1983…The megamouth remains the only species in its genus, and the only genus in its order.”  
  	While cryptids like Bigfoot and the Yeti have become popular in recent decades, none of them can touch the notoriety of the Loch Ness Monster, a large, unknown creature allegedly living in a loch in the Highlands of Scotland. Was it a relic dinosaur or perhaps an entirely new species? New photographs and new eyewitness sightings fueled a growing debate and transformed the Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, into an instantly recognizable staple of pop culture, to the extent that hundreds of thousands of visitors came to Loch Ness every year in hopes of catching a glimpse of the loch’s famous inhabitant.  
  	The Loch Ness Monster remains an international brand and the best-known cryptid in the world, but after almost 100 years of fame and media attention, what do people really know about this cryptid, and is there any proof that there really is something large and unknown living in a remote Scottish loch?

  AMBASSADORS THE: Elizabeth I's...

  In the dangerous world of sixteenth-century Europe, diplomacy was rarely polite — and almost never safe. 
  In The Ambassadors: Elizabeth I’s Spies in Europe, historian and writer Simon Courtauld tells the remarkable story of the men who represented England abroad during the reign of Elizabeth I. Operating in the great courts of France, Spain and beyond, these diplomats were far more than messengers between monarchs. They were intelligence gatherers, negotiators, informants and sometimes conspirators — the front line of England’s survival in a continent divided by religion, rivalry and war. 
  Through vivid portraits of figures such as Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, Sir Thomas Smith, Thomas Chaloner and Thomas Randolph, Courtauld reveals the realities of Tudor diplomacy: dangerous journeys across Europe, constant financial hardship, and the delicate art of navigating courts dominated by powerful rulers such as Catherine de Medici, Philip II of Spain and Mary Queen of Scots. Their letters, intrigues and negotiations formed the intelligence network that allowed Elizabeth and her advisers — notably William Cecil and Francis Walsingham — to understand and outmanoeuvre their enemies. 
  Rich in anecdote and grounded in contemporary sources, The Ambassadors brings to life a world in which information was power and a single diplomatic misstep could alter the balance of Europe. 
  Simon Courtauld is the author of several previous books including Footprints in Spain, To Convey Intelligence, and Lady of Spain: A Life of Jane Dormer, Duchess of Feria, as well as works on travel, culture and history. A former legal correspondent of The Times and deputy editor of The Spectator, he writes with the insight of a historian and the narrative skill of a seasoned journalist. (quartetbooks.co.uk) 
  In this compelling study, Courtauld turns his attention to the shadowy world of Elizabethan diplomacy — revealing the spies in ambassadors’ clothing who helped shape the fate of England.

  Tsar Nicholas II - A Life from...

  Reigning from 1894 to 1917, Nicholas II was the final emperor of Russia. His rule marked the twilight of a centuries-old dynasty—caught between the fading echoes of imperial ambition and the rise of revolutionary fervor that would ignite the Soviet era. 
  Nicholas was, by many accounts, a contradictory figure: kind and soft-spoken in private, yet seemingly detached and indecisive in the face of sweeping national upheaval. His reign saw tragedy, rebellion, war, and ultimately, the collapse of an empire that had stood for over three hundred years.
