Àííîòàöèÿ: From the trenches of France in the First World War, through the violence of the Johannesburg strikes of the 1920s, the last chapter of Sean Courtney's epic life takes him home to the serene splendours of the African wilderness. The man who made and lost 5,000,000 pounds on the goldfields of Witwatersrand, who fought his way through the blood and the battles of the Boer War, now makes his final appearance as a soldier, statesman and power in the land...

Àííîòàöèÿ: It is Festival Week in Lichfield and the cathedral city is teeming with people; some resident, some invited, and some not... There will never be another festival like this one.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Bolivia is a Lonely Planet specialty! Lose yourself among blinding-white salt flats, creep through the jungle seeking wildlife, shop in a bustling indigenous market and explore exquisite colonial cities. Adventure awaits - let us take you there

Àííîòàöèÿ: As a companion and guide, he is well-informed, cheery and indefatigable; as a writer,he is given to flowery phrasemaking ('steepling piles— and 'moon-rimed dales—) and dangerously prone to alliteration ('terpsichorean tramplings—,a 'peripatetic pedagogue—). These stylistic tricks are tiresome, but his book brings together some surprising and entertaining information. Smith is not afraid of sweeping statements. The English, he maintains, have always been particularly keen on caves, and Nottingham, a name derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'snodenge— (caves) and 'ham— (house) is 'the most cave riddled city in England—, where people lived in them until the 1970s.Today, you can still descend into a cave underneath a branch of the fashionable men—s clothes shop, Paul Smith. In Wolverley, not far away, Smith finds a cave recently converted by its proud owner into a three bedroom house, on the market for a substantial sum.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Australia has many faces, many moods, many climates. The Australian scenic pageant contains much that is unique, but in striving to portray this uniqueness, too many artists and writers have represented the continent as a sad, brooding, perserve country.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Adam Smith (member of Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts) was a Scottish economist, philosopher and author as well as a moral philosopher, a pioneer of political economy and a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment era. Smith is best known for two classic works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This book presents itself as a survey, from the first to the latest, of English-Canadian poetry. The book differs from previous Penguin Anthology, the earlier poets more solidly represented, the periods better balanced. This revised edition, coinciding with Canada's own Centennial, presents a surney of the work done in English by Canadian poets during the past one hundred years.
