The History Press Ltd The Little Book of the London Underground
Book SynopsisDid You Know? In 1884 the Circle Line opened and was described in The Times as ‘a form of mild torture which no person would undergo if he could conveniently help it.’ According to one psychologist, Tube commuters can experience greater levels of stress than a police officer facing a rioting mob or even a fighter pilot going into a dogfight. Underground trains have only twice been used to transport deceased people in coffins: William Gladstone and Dr Barnardo. Some of the most bizarre items handed in to lost property include 250lb of sultanas, a 14ft canoe, a child’s garden slide, a harpoon gun, a pith helmet, an artificial leg, someone’s brother’s ashes and a sealed box containing three dead bats. WITH well over a billion passengers a year, more than 250 miles of track, literally hundreds of different stations and a history stretching back at least 160 years, the world’s oldest underground railway might seem familiar, but how well do you actually know it?This book offers a feast of Tube-based trivia for travellers and lovers of London alike.

i2i Publishing Diabolical Pairs
Book SynopsisI have always been fascinated and amused by the way words sound and came to realise that puzzles could be created using pairs of words to make another word or phrase. For example “Goat” and “Appeases” is like “Go to pieces”; “Hissed” and “Oracle” is like “Historical”; “Totally” and “Clips” is like “Total eclipse” Each puzzle in this book has twenty clues. To answer them you have to pair up words from the 41 given words marked “All the answers”. One of these words is a rogue word and doesn’t figure in any of the answers to the clues. Each puzzle also has an example at the start whose “answer” words are from the word list but are not used together in answering the clues below it. As you will discover some of the answers are diabolical pairings and may well cause you to groan on realising the pun. That is all part of the enjoyment which I hope you will experience from solving the clues. Tick or cross off the words in the list as you use them but remember you might have used them incorrectly. Each word is only used once. Answer lists are given as a last resort and the rogue word in each puzzle is identified. These are on the reverse of each quiz. Have fun!

Batsford Ltd Everything You Know About Science is Wrong
Book SynopsisA highly entertaining, myth-busting read for anyone with even a passing interest in science. Hot on the heels of the fascinating compendium Everything You Know About London Is Wrong, this next book in the series, written by author Matt Brown in his trademark humourous style, debunks the scientific myths we all take for granted. Does nothing travel faster than the speed of light? Well, in certain circumstances, a winded tortoise can go faster. Are there actually seven colours in a rainbow? Think again. And our author merrily explains why our hair and nails don't keep growing after we die and why chemicals in our diet might not be the toxic threats we are led to believe. Covering everything from pseudoscience to phenomena of physics, scandals of space and scientific misquotes, Everything You Know About Science is Wrong shatters a range of illusions we have accepted unquestioningly since childhood and demystifies this most puzzling of subjects.
