Описание: `Bugs Britannica`, a companion volume to the bestselling classics `Flora Britannica` and `Birds Britannica`, is structured along a roughly evolving path, from simple cell life-forms - amoeba, worms, crustaceans - to bugs we all might recognise - spiders, butterflies, bees - and back into the water to meet molluscs and `almost-fish`. The book works so triumphantly because Peter Marren and Richard Mabey have examined bugs in the dusty corners of our houses and gardens as well as traversing mountains, lakes and fields. In addition to the fascinating habits of the bug world they have also included the eccentric behaviour of the bug obsessives themselves.

Описание: The Nordic region of northern Europe is indelibly linked in the minds of many with the Viking cultures that populated the area eons ago. Yet, as this intricate study of Denmark, Finland, and Sweden attests, there`s so much more to the story than that. These nations have emerged from the long shadow of their early days in the Viking era to become vibrant societies with proud traditions, distinct customs, and promising futures. Readers will learn about the land, people, governments, and economies of these fascinating countries, and examine the historical paths each took to achieve the successes they enjoy in the modern age.

Описание: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Motorpsycho (initiated 1989 at Trondertun, Melhus, Norway) is a band from Trondheim.

Автор: Morris Jan Название: Pax Britannica ISBN: 1094014249 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781094014241 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 47200.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
The Pax Britannica trilogy is Jan Morris' masterly telling of the British Empire from the accession of Queen Victoria to the death of Winston Churchill. It is a towering achievement: informative, accessible, entertaining, and written with all her usual bravura.
Pax Britannica, the second volume, is a snapshot of the Empire at the Diamond Jubilee of 1897. It looks at what made up the Empire-from adventurers and politicians to communications and infrastructure, as well as anomalies and eccentricities. This humane overview also examines the muddle of jumbled ideologies behind it and how they affected the Empire's 370 million people.
