Loved this! A great reference to parts of London we see every day, but ignore so easily.
One of the buildings I walk past going to work every day is in here, and I look at it now, and soak in the History. This is a great little book, if you love London and its history, you will really enjoy Derelict London. >>More Details |

I found the book rather chatty. Some key messages/topics were repeated too often for my taste - I even got bored at times. For example the author kept stressing the fact that it was hard for a woman without a male provider to keep herself, especially in a time when women's job opportunities were rare. I felt as if this statement appeared on every page. If the author had shortened some chapters, and kept the writing more concise, it would have been a better book.
Altogether, I'd buy the book again. It makes an interesting reading, and reminds today's women that their rights have been hard fought for. >>More Details |

This book sparked my interest in London's history generally because you can clearly relate the happenings and statistics in this book to our present times and recent past. A thoroughly enjoyable read, and I'm looking forward to reading his 20th century history of London.

Coming from an Infantry background, I, along with hundreds of callsigns, have suffered at the hands of the AAC when arranged pick up confirmations are met with 'no flying, weathers closed in'. This then involved the heli pilots in sitting off in the crew room, watching a dvd whilst bourboning themselves to death with their brews while the call sign tabs back to base location or invites themselves to another unit's location-which are usually unbearbly cramped to start with.Under these too familiar circumstances,the AAC slagging is in a league of its own.
Enter Damien Lewis. Apache Dawn left me with a complete turnaround of opinion. Infanteers love fire support. Thats why they love Apaches. Damien gets you in the cockpit with the guys and enables ... Read More: >>More Details |

Empires of the Sea: The Final Battle for the Mediterranean, 1521-1580by: Roger Crowley May 01, 2008 Best Selling > Books > History |

Crowley does an extraordinary job putting together three extraordinary stories that marked the 16th Century in the Mediterranean: The siege of Rhodes, the siege of Malta, and the Battle of Lepanto. These stories, especially that of the siege of Malta, makes the book read like a novel, most enthralling and nail biting.
Although Crowley has written a very accurate and detailed account of these clashes between the Christian and Muslim worlds, one gets the impression, that he tends to minimize the role of Christian leaders, their armies and the importance of their victories, and maximizes that of the Ottoman side. For example, he doesn't give much importance to the conquest of Tunis by Emperor Charles V, while he gets to the detail with other minor Turkish ... Read More: >>More Details |

After reading Dominique Enwright's excellent biography on Winston Churchill I had high hopes for this.I was not disappointed because this is fantastic addition to that book.
The thing that I like about her books on Chuchill is the fact that they aren't overblown at all.They stick to the basic facts and hold your interest throughout.This fine effort showcases the wit of the great man in an easy to follow way and I have no hesitation in giving this a full five stars to go alongside Ms. Enwright's first book. There are many books out there about Churchill but I doubt you will find two finer ones simply because they are so easy to digest.Very highly recommended. >>More Details |

The London Encyclopaediaby: Christopher Hibbert, Ben Weinreb, John Keay, Julia Keay August 15, 2008 Best Selling > Books > History |

The old 'Weinreb' was the best single-volume reference book on London, despite a few minor but still niggling errors. Happily most of these have been pulled out, the book's been expanded with more entries and even better illustration, and I had no hesitation whatever in grabbing a copy as soon as it went on sale. There's nothing to touch it, frankly: magnificent, endlessly fascinating, and outstanding value even before the discount. My 'Desert Island Discs' read, as indeed it's been for the last 25 years.

Most people probably don't pick up a book after noting the publisher, but I invariably do if it's a Frances Lincoln book. Her titles are always beautifully done, enhanced with stunning photographs, full of information. Such is surely the case with The Gardens At Kew, a gorgeous celebration of Kew's 250 years.
In this beautiful volume the history of this remarkable place is traced, noting the development of what now comprises 300 acres of riverside land. While today we find it home to the Royal Botanic Gardens, it once held cottages, country house estates, and even poor pasture. Among the royals who took a hand in the improvement of the grounds was Princess Caroline, the daughter-in-law of George I. She was an inveterate garden-maker who ... Read More: >>More Details |

I got this wee book and after reading it knocked together a hen house, bought 3 hens and never looked back.
Whilst the book is short it tells you all the basics you need to know about keeping hens. >>More Details |
