Beschreibung

It is our aim, in this book, to show what the war aeroplane has done, and can do. At present, its work has been confined to scouting. But it has other, and grimmer possibilities. It can, and without doubt will, be used as an engine of destruction—not by means of the bomb-dropping attacks of a few aeroplanes, but by the organised onslaught of large squadrons of weight-lifting machines, which will be able to rain down tons of missiles over any given spot.
Thus—probably waged with light guns firing explosive shells—the next great war will begin, not on earth, but several thousand feet in the air.
Claude Grahame-White.
Harry Harper.
London, 1912.

    There isn't much blossom about at this time of the year, but the ferns are flourishing everywhere, even on the trunks of the oaks and deodars. In the winter and early summer, one has to go down to streams or shady places to see the ferns. In August, they come to see us. 
     
    Ruskin Bond is most at home in his cosy room in Landour, a room with a window - from which he looks out on the world. A room where he writes his daily journal. 
    In these leaves from his journal, written over the past two years, Ruskin describes his days in his unique way: from the joy of seeing a new flower bloom to the pain of a toothache that just can't be ignored. Outside, the seasons change. In his room, for Ruskin, every morning brings new thoughts, new observations. 
    Another Day in Landour is an absolute delight for anyone who enjoys Ruskin's warm, gentle, witty prose, and his wonderful way of looking at nature, at people, at life itself.

    You've been invited to play Diplomacy with friends or colleagues and you don't want to look foolish. That should be easy enough: in everyday life and the office you're smart and confident. 
    So no, avoiding coming across as an imbecile is not enough. You want a crack at winning. 
    Every standard game of Diplomacy features 7 players, so you are unlikely to win. If all your opponents are of equal ability, the odds are 6:1 against you. Your chances of winning are barely 14%. Let's improve your chances by leveling up your competence.

    A literary meditation on memory, time, love, and loss
    		 
    Fishing With Tardelli contemplates the relations among four parents — mother, father, stepfather, and a Brazilian fishing companion — and the author. Over marriages and remarriages, fathers and mothers become stepfathers and stepmothers, and brothers gain and lose stepbrothers and half-brothers, sisters and half-sisters across two continents. The various homes become part of Besner’s internal geography; memory, dream, story, fable become permeable layers folded over bald facts baldly stated.
    		 
    Beginning with an older man’s recollections of himself as a young teenager fishing with Tardelli in the bay in Rio de Janeiro, the memoir reflects on time lost and time regained. The narration ranges across the mid-’40s in Montreal, where two couples marry, divorce, and remarry in a new configuration; proceeds to Rio de Janeiro in the mid-’50s, when one of these newly formed families emigrates; and returns to Montreal in the late ’60s and early ’70s. After a 50-year interlude, Besner returns from Western Canada to the pandemic moment in Toronto.

    The History of England

    The History of England from Henry IV to Charles I, by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.  N.B. There will be very few dates in this History! Jane Austen wrote The History of England in 1791, at the age of just 15, as a satirical parody of 18th-century historical textbooks.  It pokes fun at the apparent impartiality of contemporary historians and contains more opinions about the monarchs' relative characters than any facts or dates. The History of England was not published until 1922, more than a century after Austen's death.
