    A guide that blends the history behind this German World War II tank with resources for military vehicle modeling enthusiasts.   In the last years of the Second World War the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) and Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV) played a vital role as assault guns during the German army’s struggle to block the Allied advance on the Western Front. As the Wehrmacht’s tank forces declined, these armored vehicles were thrown into every defensive operation. They are not as well-known as the Tigers and Panthers, but German resistance would have been much weaker without them. They were also among the most frequently encountered German armored vehicles on the battlefields, which is why they are such a fascinating subject for Dennis Oliver in this volume in the TankCraft series   He uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the StuG III and StuG IV deployed by the German army and the Waffen-SS during these doomed campaigns. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic armored vehicles.

    Create your own William Shakespeare classics with this laugh-out-loud Mad-Libs-style word game for adults. 
 
Shakespeare thought it should be “light” through the window and Juliet is the “sun.” But what did he know? A few blind word replacements and everyone is laughing over such ad-libs as, “What fart through yonder window breaks? It is the poop, and Juliet is the cow.” 
 
By answering a series of questions, you can rewrite the most famous scenes ever penned, tearing asunder immortal words in merry pursuit of amusement. All the world’s a game and all the bard’s dramas and sonnets mere playthings for such outcomes as, “Alas, poor Bob! I spanked him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite wang of most excellent flatulence.” 
 
A great way to share some laughs or have fun while discovering Shakespeare, this book’s page after page of silly literary games makes an ideal gift.

    Two Owls at Eton - a classic British tale of eccentricity, education and owls. Witty, poignant and nostalgic, this bestselling memoir continues to find new fans and delight young and old alike. Now available for the first time in audiobook.When Jonathan Franklin takes two baby tawny owls back to Eton, he has no idea how chaotic the following months will be. The birds show no respect for Etonian routine and tradition. They trash his room and rule his daily life, and are known throughout the school as 'Dum' and 'Dee'. Although a keen naturalist, Jonathan struggles to understand his charges and to find the right food for them; at first meat and feathers, soon mice and rats. Even so, they nearly die of malnutrition on two occasions. Frantic, he searches for natural food. How to keep them alive is a constant worry. He watches them grow from ugly balls of fluff into beautiful adults, every change of plumage and behaviour noted. They play truant, they shock others, and lead Jonathan into hilarious adventures. They charm his housemaster and everybody who meets them. Best of all is seeing them flying about over those famous playing fields. All the time, Jonathan works to train them for eventual return to the wild. Will that be possible? He is never sure whether he will succeed.
