Castles A global history of fortified structures Castles takes a uniquely architectural approach to deconstructing the work of the defensive architect, stonemason and engineer. It uses stylish two-tone engravings, ‘anatomies’ that annotate classic structures and ‘riches to ruins’ features that offer unique comparisons between castles in their pomp in illuminated manuscripts and matching colour photographs of those same castles as they stand in ruins today.

Charles Stephenson is a published military historian, whose books include Germany’s Asia-Pacific Empire: Colonialism & Naval Policy 1885–1914 (2009).

New architectural approach to an ever-popular subject

Everything from Jericho to 19th-century military installations

The Chicken A natural history The Chicken is a timely, encyclopedic, science-based study that offers a true understanding of the species, reclaiming it from its commercial status as a mere egg and meat provider. Topics include anatomy, developmental biology, ancestry, breeding and origins, and there is a comprehensive look at chicken behaviours. The bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final chapter is devoted to a beautiful visual study of the characteristics of particular breeds, providing quick-reference information on their origins, particulars and appearance.

Dr Joseph Barber is Adjunct Assistant Professor at Hunter College, City University of New York, and Associate Director at the University of Pennsylvania.

Eight zombie characters are laid out here in neat sets, each part knitted quickly and separately. Each zombie has a range of outfits and props – trailing entrails, hatchets and mouldy frockcoats – to add to their individuality.

Fiona Goble is a best-selling author of knitting books and is known for her charming and original yarn characters. In Knit Your Own Zombie, she explores her dark side. And she proves to have a very dark side indeed.
