An imaginative and action-packed story with a particularly relevant message for today – wash your hands!

An hilarious story that children will love to read again and again Stunning illustrations featuring hundreds of quirky characters A special four page gatefold fold-out feature shows the germ armies lined up for battle

Also available How to Cook Children 9781862057715 | HB | £12.99

Our story begins with the rumble of war as Sam, a young germ, is conscripted to fight in the germ army. Their ultimate goal? To attack the boy in striped pyjamas who comes into the bathroom each day.

When the boy in the striped pyjamas fails to wash his hands one day, the germs seize their opportunity to attack... only to be met with the friendly antibody army! A great battle ensues – but which side is Sam really on?

A humorous look at the germs that live with us every day and their battle to take control of our bodies, with unforgettable characters every child will love.

‘Quite simply the best book for cooking with children ever written. The recipes are mouth-watering and Esmelia Sniff is a laugh-out-loud kitchen nightmare. There are very few chefs who can change the way we think about food, but thanks to Esmelia and her pointy-hatted friends I’ll be putting youngsters on the menu in all my restaurants from now on.

Flippin excellent!’

One of the world’s greatest chess players reveals the secrets of how he plans his play Packed with invaluable information on how to mobilise your forces, avoid threats and win the game Illustrated with a wealth of annotated examples from the author’s own games

The legendary Anatoly Karpov has won over 250 Grandmaster tournaments, many more than any other player in chess history. In his chess games he gradually and patiently pushes an opponent back to the wall, before finally finishing him off with a deadly blow.

In this unique book, aimed at ordinary club players, Karpov gives a wealth of tips on how to incorporate this dramatic style of play into your own repertoire, through careful planning and evaluation of positions: looking at the fire-power of your forces, being aware of threats to your own king and how to safeguard it, and careful control of open lines. As he says himself: ‘Finding the right plan is the key to success’. Warmly and accessibly written, but with Karpov’s usual air of authority, this book makes you feel like you are spending an evening with the man himself, and will help you to absorb a little bit of the Karpov magic.

The legendary Anatoly Karpov has won over 250 Grandmaster tournaments, many more than any other player in chess history. In his chess games he gradually and patiently pushes an opponent back to the wall, before finally finishing him off with a deadly blow.

In this unique book, aimed at ordinary club players, Karpov gives a wealth of tips on how to incorporate this dramatic style of play into your own repertoire, through careful planning and evaluation of positions: looking at the fire-power of your forces, being aware of threats to your own king and how to safeguard it, and careful control of open lines. As he says himself: ‘Finding the right plan is the key to success’. Warmly and accessibly written, but with Karpov’s usual air of authority, this book makes you feel like you are spending an evening with the man himself, and will help you to absorb a little bit of the Karpov magic.

BATSFORD CHESS

BATSFORD CHESS

Anatoly Karpov is a living legend; he dominated the chess world for over a decade as the world chess champion between 1975 and 1985. Garry Kasparov dethroned him and the two ideologically opposed Russians have had a bitter rivalry ever since. He is considered the best positional player in the history of chess and is the author of several books on chess theory.

From common spelling mistakes to fool-proof posh pronunciation guide Make sure you use the correct phrases in good company Don’t say you’re disinterested when you’re uninterested

Wherever you are, whatever the company, good English will always stand you in good stead. The world’s most important language has a number of difficult areas and pitfalls, and almost all of us have some area to improve, whether it’s how to spell ‘millennium’, how to pronounce ‘schedule’ the English way (as opposed to the American way), or find the correct word for the ‘toilet’ when talking to bishops and barons. Her Ladyship’s Guide quickly takes you through the major problem areas. It covers: common mistakes in grammar (which will belie a lowly upbringing), common misspellings, commonly misused words, and the all-important choice of words and phrases to use in posh society with a pronunciation guide.

From common spelling mistakes to fool-proof posh pronunciation guide Make sure you use the correct phrases in good company Don’t say you’re disinterested when you’re uninterested

Wherever you are, whatever the company, good English will always stand you in good stead. The world’s most important language has a number of difficult areas and pitfalls, and almost all of us have some area to improve, whether it’s how to spell ‘millennium’, how to pronounce ‘schedule’ the English way (as opposed to the American way), or find the correct word for the ‘toilet’ when talking to bishops and barons. Her Ladyship’s Guide quickly takes you through the major problem areas. It covers: common mistakes in grammar (which will belie a lowly upbringing), common misspellings, commonly misused words, and the all-important choice of words and phrases to use in posh society with a pronunciation guide.

To accompany a major BBC Two series presented by Dan Snow Written by one of Britain’s most respected naval historians Illustrated with a superlative collection of artworks and photographs including stills from the television series

‘Well researched and at times deeply inspiring’ Andrew Roberts, The Mail on Sunday

The Royal Navy of today has far more firepower and reach than it ever had in the days of Drake, Pepys and Nelson. Yet it was the navy of their times that became the expression of British power and the object of public affection, and changed Britain and the world in all sorts of subtle and unexpected ways. Documenting the progress of the British navy from late Tudor times to the First World War, Brian Lavery reveals how the Royal Navy shaped British industry, innovation and identity and became the essential creator and guardian of British democracy. Rising through the brilliance of naval personalities such as Robert Blake, Admirals Anson, Rodney and Nelson, the author illuminates how that naval sense of leadership, initiative and courage began to stagnate during the ‘long peace’ of the nineteenth century, leading eventually to the bruising experience of the Battle of Jutland. Lavishly illustrated with dramatic artworks, documentary photographs, and stills from the television series, the book also includes special features from the programme in which presenter Dan Snow gets first-hand experience of sailing a fifteenth-century ship or working a tall ship while surviving on the naval rations of an eighteenth-century sailor.

In Which They Served 9781844860975 | PB | £8.99

The latest Conway anthology of first-hand combat accounts Third title in the series, following the successful volumes Destroyer and Submarine Edited by acclaimed maritime historian Jean Hood

Carrier is a fascinating anthology of first-hand accounts from aircraft carrier pilots and crew.

Comprehensive in scope, it brings together twentieth-century combat accounts from the Second World War and beyond, covering later conflicts and campaigns such as the Korean War, the Falklands, and the Persian Gulf War, with a final section devoted to the commissioning of the latest British Queen Elizabeth class and US Nimitz and Ford class supercarriers. Accounts have been researched and drawn from a vast range of sources, including previously published material, museum archives, diaries and official news reports, and interviews with active service personnel and veterans. The book offers a genuine insight into life on board, offensive fleet operations and the many difficulties involved in flying on and off an aircraft carrier. With this unique anthology Jean Hood has expertly edited a complete historical record of carrier development and service – vessels that heralded the end of the big-gun ships and introduced a new form of naval warfare. Split into four parts, the book initially examines the development of these ships and their aircraft with some early accounts of the period, including fraught and dangerous flight tests. Part 2 focuses on the key period 1939–1945 in which the aircraft carrier concept proved its tactical worth in naval combat. Part 3 covers other significant conflicts of the second half of the twentieth century in which carriers also performed pivotal offensive roles. Finally, Part 4 documents the latest carriers and their role in modern navies, looking at future procurement and technological advances that have further cemented the place of the carrier as the primary vessel in (and in many cases flagship of) naval fleets across the globe.

‘Jean Hood has created a lasting tribue to all those who fought and died in these “iron coffins”.’

Jeff Tall, OBE, RN, Royal Navy Submarine Museum

‘It is the sheer volume and breadth of information that will appeal both to the naval history buff as well as the genealogist.’

With this unique anthology Jean Hood has expertly edited a complete historical record of carrier development and service – vessels that heralded the end of the big-gun ships and introduced a new form of naval warfare. Split into four parts, the book initially examines the development of these ships and their aircraft with some early accounts of the period, including fraught and dangerous flight tests. Part 2 focuses on the key period 1939–1945 in which the aircraft carrier concept proved its tactical worth in naval combat. Part 3 covers other significant conflicts of the second half of the twentieth century in which carriers also performed pivotal offensive roles. Finally, Part 4 documents the latest carriers and their role in modern navies, looking at future procurement and technological advances that have further cemented the place of the carrier as the primary vessel in (and in many cases flagship of) naval fleets across the globe.

‘Jean Hood has created a lasting tribue to all those who fought and died in these “iron coffins”.’

Jeff Tall, OBE, RN, Royal Navy Submarine Museum

‘It is the sheer volume and breadth of information that will appeal both to the naval history buff as well as the genealogist.’

An important contribution to the study of trading companies, their establishment, influence and eventual decline Combines fascinating social history with extensive research in an interesting, readable narrative Broad in scope, discussing all major commercial entities of the age, including the British, French, Dutch, Canadian and North American trading companies

An engaging blend of biography and economic/colonial history, Merchant Kings tells the story of the trading companies that monopolised vast territories all over the world during the first great period of globalisation. The leaders of these trading companies exercised dictatorial power over millions of people, and devoted their time and resources to the accumulation of wealth through hunting, trapping, trade and exploration. It was a harsh existence on the frontiers of the civilised world, and these kings of commerce were larger-than-life characters; adventurers as well as merchants. They included men like Peter Stuyvesant, the one-legged governor of the Dutch West India Company; Cecil Rhodes, founder of the De Beers company (and after whom Rhodesia took its name); and George Simpson, the infamous ‘Little Emperor’ of the Hudson’s Bay Company, who was chauffeured around his vast fur domain in a giant canoe, exhorting his oarsmen to paddle harder in order to set canoeing speed records. Merchant Kings examines their rise and fall in the centuries before colonialism and empire, analysing the political, social and cultural legacies of this fascinating, cut-throat age.

Stephen R. Bown is an acclaimed Canadian historian and writer, who has won numerous awards and prizes. His books inlcude Scurvy, A Most Damnable Invention: Dynamite, Nitrates and the Making of the Modern World and his most recent publication Madness, Betrayal and the Lash.

Timely reissue of a classic text, analysing the difficulties involved in attempting any forceful intervention in Afghanistan A detailed look at the history of conflict in this troubled nation-state, hugely relevant to modern understanding Fully revised and updated to reflect key strategic and tactical issues, teaching important lessons for politicians, military leaders and the soldier on the ground

The recent history of Afghanistan has been one of struggle and intractable warfare. Yet even before the launch of Operation ‘Enduring Freedom’ that followed the terrorist attacks of September 2001 the British had fought in Afghanistan three times in the last 160 years, with far-reaching consequences. Afghan Wars clearly delineates the complex history of the country and the antecedents of the current war in Afghanistan, from the three Anglo-Afghan wars that formed part of the ‘Great Game’ to the Soviet invasion of 1982 and the subsequent civil war, which continues to this day. The book takes a strategic view through history, examining tactics employed, relative successes and failures, key determinants such as the Mujahedin resistance, and the significance of external forces – whether technological, political or military. Edgar O’Ballance’s prescient commentary forecasts the certain hazards of intervention in Afghanistan – lessons that contemporary politicians would have been well advised to consider. The book is being updated to reflect the author’s views of the important role of history in this continuing conflict. This comprehensive account, with its keen military grasp of key issues and changing situations, is essential in understanding Afghanistan today.

Following his major BBC Two series, James May delves deeper into the stories behind Britain’s favourite toys A fascinating look at the history of the iconic brand that is Airfix, from the earliest model kits to the present day With exclusive imagery and a range of projects to build

After his ambitious project to create a 1/1 scale Spitfire, James May returns to the brand synonymous with model kits to learn more about the history of Airfix. Over the years Airfix’s range has included figures, trains, trackside accessories, military vehicles, engines, rockets, sailing ships, warships, liners, vintage cars, performance cars, motorcycles, spaceships and more, available in many different scales and for different skill levels. Modern kits are increasingly accurate and minutely detailed, as precision mouldings and sophisticated techniques and materials have meant scale modelling is truly a 21st century hobby – but with more than half a century of heritage. James raids the Airfix archives to find out how designers, graphic artists and production teams get a scale model from drawing board concept to finished product. He also looks at the world of modellers and collectors, discovering it has come a long way since his childhood memories of gluey fingers, fiddly decals and busted propellers.

Fresh from his world record achievement at the legendary Brooklands motor racing circuit, in which the Toy Stories team built a full-size circuit entirely out of Scalextric track, James May re-enters the high-speed world of Scalextric, Britain’s leading slot-car racing brand.

The Comeback Kid will be the first biography of Robert Downey Jr. A detailed and authoritative account of the career, controversy and comeback of this generation’s favourite leading actor A behind-the-scenes look at the making of his most famous and infamous movies, talking to the people closest to him, from actors and directors to those he has encountered during his trips to the dark side

“I’ve always felt like an outsider in this industry. Because I’m so insane I guess.” – Robert Downey Jr.

The Ballad of Britain 9781906032548 | PB | £12.99

Robert Downey Jr.’s life isn’t a movie – but it could be. Robert Downey Jr. now commands $25 million a movie – not bad for someone who ten years ago was praised for his performance in Chaplin, then spiraled into prison, drug addiction and one bad choice away from death. His 2009 films The Soloist and Sherlock Holmes are expected to be the year’s most anticipated awards bait and biggest blockbuster respectively. His summer blockbuster Iron Man 2 is expected to break all box office records. It is without doubt Hollywood’s greatest ever comeback.

Also available Gael Garcia Bernal and the Latin American New Wave 9781906032258 | HB | £16.99

The Comeback Kid is an insightful, devastating, scathing and ultimately uplifting journey into the realms of Hollywood’s darkest excesses and successes.

The first in-depth look at the history of football in Africa, its development in the modern era, and immense popularity across the continent Huge interest in this subject with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa By noted sports journalist Ian Hawkey, Sunday Times International Football correspondent

A comprehensive study of African football that traces the development of the world’s favourite sport through the tangled history and complex social and political life of this fascinating continent. Drawing on his own extensive experience, years of research and interviews with those involved in all levels of the African game, Ian Hawkey has crafted a remarkable book to satisfy the surge of interest in African football in 2010. He discusses the emergence of top African players in the European leagues, stars like Michael Essien and Samuel Eto’o. He also analyses African football’s unique qualities and the successes that both national and domestic teams have enjoyed - from Al-Ahly’s performance in the World Club Cup to Cameroon’s previous World Cup campaigns and Nigeria’s Olympic gold medal in 1996. Yet African football is not without problems, and has had to overcome tragedy - the book shows how football has fought against racism, corruption and political interference. Feet of the Chameleon is a compelling mixture of analysis and insight, a timely and entertaining study of African football’s colourful history, players, supporters and legends.

A celebration of all the marvellous mums and devoted dads there are in the world!

A lovely look at mum and dad types – from DIY-mad dad to driving-you-mad mum!

Share laughs and fun with your mum and dad this Mother’s/Father’s Day with these great gift books!

Parents. Aren’t they great? They come in all shapes and sizes, with wildly differing personalities and packaging. But every parent, each and every single type, whether they’re mad, marvellous, devoted or dotty, deserve celebrating.

Being a parent is the toughest, most stressful and under-appreciated job in the world. It’s also the worst paid and the hours are lousy. Mumtastic! and Dadtastic! are a well-deserved celebration of all the types of Mums and dads there are – from the overprotective mum who worries constantly to the grumpy old technophobe dad who absolutely refuses to read the manual for the DVD player, right through to the modern mum who has discovered the joy of texting 24hrs a day and the dad who has no idea how to turn the oven on!

Mumtastic! and Dadtastic! are brilliant for that Mother’s Day/ Father’s Day gift that’s sweet, playful, and unashamedly lovely – perfect for letting your parents know that you love them, especially if you don’t call home as often as they’d like anymore!

Martha Valentine has had first-hand combat experience with Mums and Dads since the 1980’s. Mumtastic! and Dadtastic! are her first books.

Spread the Word! Introducing a quirky humour book by a very unique ‘man of the cloth’ Signs from God, and a celebration of Faith, from a church with a message Wonderfully funny church signs that should have you rolling in the aisles!

Now Open Sundays! is a joyful and very funny gift book from Reverend Paul Sinclair. For the past twenty years, he has put up humorous church signs outside his Willesden church, grabbing the attention of passers-by - and the media too. Each sign is a witty and thought-provoking reminder of faith, spreading peace and love in a wonderfully eccentric way. Regardless of religion, this book celebrates life and laughter. Now Open Sundays! is a unique counterpoint to Richard Dawkins’ serious messages, skewering the foibles of the modern world with sharp wordplay and with God on its side.

A hilarious study of blokes and girls, and how they interact with the world around them, through their subtle and secret (and sometimes not so subtle or secret) body language!

A fun and unique way of using body language to demonstrate the differences between the two species!

Fully illustrated with a guide on ‘How To…’ spot, and master, the moves for yourself!

The Secret Body Language of Blokes/Girls are a fantastically funny set of guides to help the human sexes understand each other better by studying and deciphering the thousands of everyday secret (and not so secret) body language gestures that the human species uses to impress, charm, flirt and interact with each other.

The books are the perfect accompaniment to a great night out with your mates – to help you understand all the complex, dynamic and sometimes baffling lengths all human beings will go to in order to communicate their emotions with each other no matter how ridiculous it will look. From bar-room body posing and posturing to silent (but lethal) pouting, to outrageous displays of flirtation along right through to good ol’ reliable and crude displays of affection and aggression, it’s all here. Start learning today!

Side-splitting humour from a serial letter-writer with a wonderfully twisted imagination Featuring replies from princes, archbishops, company directors and a host of long-suffering customer services departments More than 250 letters and responses – a complete course of crazy correspondence...

A hilarious collection of witty and outrageous letters, ranging from inventive job applications and requests for unusual (and often non-existent) items to complaints about the fantastical, the impossible and the mundane. For example, author Michael A. Lee pens an application to become the Beast of Bodmin Moor, enquires where he might be able to purchase a ‘corporate ladder’ to help his career, and writes a grumbling complaint to Harry Ramsden’s about the chip on his shoulder. Irrereverent, imaginative and sometimes downright silly, these letters provoke responses from the recipients that are equally funny. There are indignant, confused and sympathetic replies from such venerable institutions as MI5, the office of the Archbishop of York, assorted Royal Societies and peers, the French Navy and even the Pope – absolutely no-one is safe from the author’s acerbic pen and unique imagination.

Michael A Lee is a talented – and persistent – writer of letters who is very handy with a pen. His first letter for Written in Jest, in which he applied to become the Mayor of El Paso, appeared on CBS Channel 4 News. He followed this up by (successfully) applying for the post of Beast of Bodmin Moor. He has published three humour titles for Anova, and is an established after-dinner speaker.

Letters From a Professional Nuisance

A hilarious study of blokes and girls, and how they interact with the world around them, through their subtle and secret (and sometimes not so subtle or secret) body language!

A fun and unique way of using body language to demonstrate the differences between the two species!

Fully illustrated with a guide on ‘How To…’ spot, and master, the moves for yourself!

The Secret Body Language of Blokes/Girls are a fantastically funny set of guides to help the human sexes understand each other better by studying and deciphering the thousands of everyday secret (and not so secret) body language gestures that the human species uses to impress, charm, flirt and interact with each other.

The books are the perfect accompaniment to a great night out with your mates – to help you understand all the complex, dynamic and sometimes baffling lengths all human beings will go to in order to communicate their emotions with each other no matter how ridiculous it will look. From bar-room body posing and posturing to silent (but lethal) pouting, to outrageous displays of flirtation along right through to good ol’ reliable and crude displays of affection and aggression, it’s all here. Start learning today!

The very funny follow up to 2008’s One Grump or Two, The Grumpy Driver’s Handbook will have you honking your horn in hysterics!

The spot-on present for the grumpy driver in your family – and there’s always one! It may even be you!

Driving brings out the worst in even the most mild mannered individual and so a book on the worst habits in motoring and the ‘joys’ of car ownership is the natural gift for the career grump. Spurred on by endless roadworks, coned-off lanes, BMW drivers, white van men, speed cameras, lunatic cyclists, rude taxi drivers and kamikazi motorcyclists, the grump has an ocean of opportunity for expression. The Grumpy Driver’s Handbook (including ‘The Highway Grump’) tackles the evils of lane swappers, caravan owners, bumper huggers, rubber neckers, light jumpers, hard shoulder cruisers, sleeping policemen and speaking policemen.

A book to send shivers down the spine of any parent who has spent years protecting their children from the slightest bump and bash A glorious romp though some of the most reckless photos from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s, tagged with side-splitting captions If photographed today the perpetrators would be up for serial court cases and custodial sentences

Ah, the past. A time when children could play in the snow without a helmet, crampons and a risk assessment report. When footballs were made from rhino hide and cricket was played with one pad, if you were lucky. When I Were a Lad... looks at the gloriousyet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the Health and Safety officers told us we couldn’t do everything because it was too dangerous. It reflects on a time when children were allowed in with the animals at London Zoo; a time before the car seatbelt was invented (let alone used); a time when you were allowed to dress up endangered species in goalkeeping kit and take penalties against them. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch happily on lethal, limbmangling machinery, stand all-smiles on live crocodiles, feed brown bears with their hands and get scooped from the street by passing tram conductors. In one photo they happily pose on recovered artillery shells.
