  An in-depth series of chapters devoted to the use of our memory system; as the title suggests, how to develop our memory system, how to train it to improve it, and how to make the best use of it in our everyday lives, and to improve our positions in life. This is not intended to be a series of chapters to impress friends and colleagues, nor to play 'tricks' on others, rather it is for the betterment of individuals in whatever walk of life in which they may be involved by training and using their memory toward that end.

  Alcibiades: The Life and Legacy...

  The Peloponnesian War, as the great historian Thucydides wrote in the introduction to his eponymous book, which has become one of the greatest historical treatises of antiquity, was an event of such calamitous magnitude that Greece had never witnessed its like in all of recorded history. Not the Trojan War, not the Dorian Invasion, not even the recent Persian invasions – which had devastated mainland Greece and seen Athens herself evacuated and put to the flame, the buildings on her Acropolis razed into dust – could compare to the scale of the devastation that engulfed all of Greece for almost three decades, causing tens of thousands of deaths, if not hundreds of thousands.  
  	No individual was in the center of the maelstrom more than Alcibiades, and few people in history walked a finer line between brilliance and instability. Born around 450 BCE into an elite family in Athens, just as the city-state reached its zenith, he came of age at a time when ambition could elevate a man to greatness or destroy him just as easily. If the age of his guardian, Pericles, represented the height of Athenian confidence, then the life of Alcibiades symbolized its unpredictable and restless spirit.  
  	Throughout his life, Alcibiades donned many masks. To some, he was a fearless general, and for others he was an effective diplomat. But to those who knew him the longest, he was a political chameleon who would stop at nothing to get what he desired, and this particular form of reckless ambition and ego ultimately endangered the very city that gave him so many opportunities and an affluent life. Alcibiades was a figure who thrived on risk and reinvention, seen through his decisions in the Peloponnesian War, where he not only fought for his native Athens, but also for its enemy, Sparta. His shifting loyalties not only shocked contemporaries, but continue to fascinate modern historians.

  ‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr 
  A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains. 
  On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts. 
  Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago. 
  In this non-fiction biography, Mallory's letters reveal the raw and unfiltered thoughts of a man who dared to challenge nature. His experiences, his fears, his triumphs, all laid bare in this literary collection, make Letters from Everest a must-read for anyone fascinated by the world of mountaineering and exploration.

  History for Kids: Sacagawea and...

  *Perfect for ages 7-10 
  In Charles River Editors’ History for Kids series, your children can learn about history’s most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. Pictures help bring the story to life, and the concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid’s attention all the way to the end. 
  It is the most fabled and storied journey in American history. From 1804-1806, the first expedition across the North American continent was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, who had recently bought a vast swath of territory from France. Though he knew he had bought a huge amount of land, Jefferson wasn’t entirely sure of what he had bought, so he asked a team led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to traverse the continent until they reached the Pacific, studying everything from the ecology to geography along the way to get an understanding of the country’s new region. 
  Lewis and Clark would find far more than they bargained for. The 33 members who made the trip came into contact with about two dozen Native American tribes, many of whom helped the men survive the journey. Though they suffered deaths on their way west, the group ultimately reached the Pacific coast and got back to St. Louis in 1806, having drawn up nearly 150 maps and giving America a good idea of much of what lay west. 
  As a young woman who was married to a French trapper from Quebec, Sacagawea happened to be in the right place at the right time for the legendary Lewis and Clark expedition, which set off for the Pacific coast after President Thomas Jefferson negotiated the Louisiana Purchase with France. The young Shoshone girl acted as a guide and interpreter for the expedition, helping it safely travel thousands of miles west from North Dakota to the Pacific over unfamiliar ground and amongst unfamiliar peoples. Put simply, the expedition could not have succeeded without her.
