The Putin Paradox - Bok av Professor Richard Sakwa - Häftad

Vladimir Putin has emerged as one of the key leaders of the twenty-first century. However, he is also recognized as one of the most divisive.

Tacitus' Wonders - Bok av James McNamara - Häftad

Robert Graves - From Great War Poet to Good-bye to All That (1895-1929) - Bok av Dr Jean Moorcroft Wilson - Inbunden

The writer and poet Robert Graves suppressed virtually all of the poems he had published during and just after the First World War. Until his son, William Graves, reprinted almost all the Poems About War in 1988, Graves's status as a 'war poet' seems to have depended mainly on his prose memoir (and bestseller), Good-bye to All That. None of the previous biographies written on Graves, however excellent, attempt to deal with this paradox in any depth. Robert Graves the war poet and the suppressed poems..

Stress-Free Navigation - Electronic and Traditional - Bok av Duncan Wells - Häftad

You might think stress-free navigation sounds like an impossible paradox. But it need not be. All boaters, whether under sail or under power, need to be able to navigate safely on the water - both to keep themselves and their crew out of trouble and to avoid endangering others. Yet navigation has often been presented almost as a black art - complicated, full of tricky maths, and with alien concepts to get your head around. Step in 'Mr Stress-Free': having in his previous books presented techniques..
