  The book that sets the record straight on classroom inaccuracies, from erroneous history and wobbly geography to sloppy science and bad math. 
   
  Everyone knows that you shouldn’t believe everything you read in the newspapers, hear on TV, or find on the Internet, but you don’t expect the same advice to apply to what you learned at school. Well, think again, because you can guarantee there’s heaps of stuff in your head that you’ve been taught that just isn’t true, or it if is, has been dumbed down so much as to be just plain wrong. And that’s before you even begin to consider the political bias that may have been added to your schooling. If you don’t believe us, read this book and you’ll discover how much dodgy information you’ve been carrying around in your noodle all these years.Two plus two doesn’t always equal fourHenry VIII only had two wivesNapoleon wasn’t FrenchMirrors don’t reverse everythingCold isn’t the opposite of hotClouds are heavyGravity is weak, and there’s plenty of it in spaceBen Franklin’s kite wasn’t hit by lightningElectrons travel slowlyNothing in the universe is really uniqueThe big bang wasn’t big or a bangThe U.S. isn’t a democracy (it’s a constitutional republic)

  Create your own farm in your garden with tips on growing, harvesting and eating your own produce.
  Nicki Trench has created her own garden farm from scratch, and now shares with you everything there is to know about growing vegetables, fruit and herbs, including making your own compost, growing in raised beds and protecting your crops from pests and disease. Nicki also explains how to rear chickens for eggs and bees for honey, and gives advice on keeping goats and pigs. The benefits of creating your garden farm are not just economic – the energy once obsessively expended on the exercise bike can now be channelled more productively by digging the vegetable patch, turning the compost or cleaning out the hen coop. Communities are reappearing over garden fences as neighbours share their harvest of courgette, spinach and eggs. Whatever you choose to grow or rear on your garden farm, this book offers a taste of the good life that is easy, satisfying and inexpensive to achieve.

  “A guitar nerd’s dream . . . more than 700 photos of some of the most famous guitars in the world.” —Alternative Press 
   
  These are the guitars so famous that fans know their names: B.B. King’s Lucille, Eric Clapton’s Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s First Wife, Billy F. Gibbons’ Pearly Gates, Neil Young’s Old Black, and many more. This is the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual “star guitars”—the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby’s auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Musicians buy guitars to emulate the stars—Clapton’s Strat, Slash’s Les Paul—and this book explains the stars’ modifications, showing how others can recreate those famous tones. 
   
  “Aside from being a thoroughly captivating read, it’s fully stocked with superb photos, tour posters, and artwork.” —Guitar & Bass Magazine
