The broads are shallow, reed-fringed lakes associated with rivers that wind slowly through the lowlands of east Norfolk and neighbouring Suffolk to flow into the North Sea through a common harbour at Great Yarmouth. Their waters are often ruffled by sea breezes and salt tides affect them from time to time; indeed, but for coast defences, they and many thousands of acres of adjacent marshes would be at the mercy of regular sea flooding. It used to be thought that they were relict pools of an estuary clogged by centuries of silting and reclaimed by the spread of marsh vegetation; but the recent researches of Dr. J. M. Lambert and her associates have proved (seechapter 3) that although estuarine conditions have prevailed temporarily in the lower parts of the east Norfolk river valleys on more than one occasion in the past, the broads originated comparatively recently as peat-pits, flooded and linked by artificial channels with the rivers, as the general water-level rose in late historic times.
Great Sporting Wisdom: Legendary Quotes from the World of Sport
Great Sporting Wisdom: Legendary Quotes from the World of Sport
John Scally
¥30.61
In 1906 Ambrose Bierce defined quotation as ‘the act of repeating erroneously the words of another. The words erroneously repeated.’ Down through history much has been said and written about the people and events that have shaped the sporting world. This book assembles some of the most commonly misquoted and misattributed of those sporting quotations.Humour is a difficult thing to define. What reduces one person to helpless laughter may leave another indifferent. And what makes a funny quote? The context can be crucial.In normal circumstances the following would not be of great interest: ‘Sharp are currently working on bringing 3D TV into your living-rooms. Mr Koshima hopes it will be so realistic that viewers will have to duck when Eric Cantona takes a shot.’

Over the centuries the dog has become ‘Man’s best friend’ and an increasing number of people own dogs for companionship. Most of today’s breeds evolved as working dogs with specific functions from their common ancestor – the wolf.Whichever breed of dog you own, he will become your loyal friend and companion for many years to come, and you must take your responsibilities seriously.Living in a human-canine pack can be a rewarding experience for both the owner and the dog. You will need to look after your dog and provide for both his mental and physical welfare as well as developing an understanding of his behaviour and body language if you are to become a responsible owner. Your dog must learn to adapt to family life if he is to grow into a well-behaved member of your ‘pack’.

A Right Ambition (Text Only)
David Gower,Derek Hodgson
¥66.61
The origins of this book lie in its predecessor, Heroes and Contemporaries, published by my good friends at Collins in 1983. It was then felt that these present memoirs and observations would represent an interim collection of writings before I embark upon the story of my complete cricketing career.There is such intense interest in the lives and performances of public figures that one would need to be a recluse of hermit-like proclivity to avoid revealing personal details, opinions and beliefs. The trick is to try to satisfy that interest without leaving oneself entirely naked and I have not, as far as I know, committed myself in this book on race, religion, sex, politics or on the cricket correspondents of popular newspapers. A Right Ambition starts where every book on cricket should begin, with a small boy’s wish to wield a bat. It ends, like all good fairy stories, with that small boy having grown up to join an England team which won back the Ashes from Australia and with his joy and delight at having been able to play the game in so many wonderful places and to have made so many lasting friends.

Чудо в перьях - Сказки для подростков
Валерий Герланец
¥22.81
Свою новую экзотическую повесть о зверях и людях ?Чудо в перьях? ее автор адресовал тинейджерам. Именно в этом возрасте многие из них впервые задумываются над такими извечными вопросами, как: кто я? для чего живу? что такое любовь? Этими вопросами озабочен и главный герой повествования — неизвестный науке птицезверь по имени Хрум, обитающий в джунглях одной из далеких стран Юго-Восточной Азии. Он не желает жить ?по законам джунглей?, потому что окружающая его действительность наполнена насилием и кровожадностью. Хруму больше нравятся законы доброты, взаимной помощи и уважения, по которым живут дикие слоны, повстречавшиеся ему по пути к Большой Мутной реке. Главными героями повести выступает также троица юных представителей человеческого сообщества — Элиз Смит, Майк Питерс и Рэй Картер, которые приходят на помощь попавшему в беду странному зверенышу. Хрум вновь оказывается в своем привычном мире, где встречает похожее на него самого ?чудо в перьях?. Встреча с незнакомкой впервые пробуждает в нем неведомое ему ранее чувство… Повесть ?Чудо в перьях? написана в стиле экшен, с присущими автору мягким юмором и ?киношной? калейдоскопичностью построения сюжета. Издательство Animedia Company желает вам приятного чтения.

Harris Rosen
¥0.01
A fascinating genuine narrative formed in the crucible of Golden Age Hip-Hop mindfulness. New York State of Mind 1.0, the 7th book in the series, provides you with a real flavour of the personalities, in all their raw forms, who breathed life into the streets of the city, taking the music to new heights and in radically new direc-tions.? Tragedy Khadafi is as real as it gets. Through impressive MC skills and a for-midable street reputation, he lived the life of an original hoodlum, surviving gun-shot wounds, stabbings and broken bones. The compelling lyrical message of Brand Nubian reflects on the group's identity as Five-Percenters and the philoso-phy of the Nation of Gods and Earth, while Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth arrived on the scene in the midst of a Hip-Hop impasse of sorts.? New York State of Mind 1.0 is a candid look deep inside the psyche of each and an examination of what makes them tick. Take a ride alongside them and learn how they made their mark in a generation.
