IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS

THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF TREES

In Search of Happiness is the first book to present a range of happiness traditions separately, allowing you to opt for the one that suits you best in terms of your temperament, values and circumstances. Of course, you can mix and match, since the six traditions presented here are far from mutually exclusive. The traditions covered are: HYGGE: Danish ways to enhance your pleasure in home, company, nature, the seasons and the senses, and find your authentic self. POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: Proven ways to boost fulfilment through self-awareness, values, relationships, kindness, self-care, “flow” and positivity. LYKKE: Danish ways to build contentment through trust, togetherness, independence, health, compassion and new perspectives on what wealth means. IKIGAI: Japanese ways to find a rewarding sense of purpose matched to your character, interests, abilities and life circumstances. LAGOM: Swedish ways to attain happiness through moderation, simplicity, balance, fairness and gratitude. TIBETAN BUDDHISM: Buddhist ways to accept life’s challenges and discover value in non-attachment; mindfulness, compassion and awareness.

As well as offering wood and charcoal fuels, timber for buildings and ships, latex rubber, dyes, shade, shelter from the weather, fruits and nuts to enjoy and poisons to avoid, trees provide the world with oxygen while their roots stabilize soil to prevent flooding and erosion. Moreover, bark, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits or seeds also offer medicinal products. Meanwhile, the forest has ever been a magical place inspiring writers and poets such as C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien, Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Coleridge. The Secret Language of Trees explores fifty different species of tree. It looks at the history of the tree, its medicinal and other uses, as well as its language meaning and symbolism. Each entry is supported by a beautiful watercolour of the tree itself as well as its leaves or fruit. Contents: Contents ● Forewords ● The World of Trees ● Small Trees and Shrubs ● The Power of Trees ● Trees as Treatments ● Trees as Inspiration ● Spirit of the Forest ● Fungi and Other Parasites ● Forests in Crisis ●Acknowledgments and Bibliography ● Index GILL DAVIES is author of over 400 books for some 50 publishers from all around the world.

THE HISTORY OF WORLD WAR I

THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

On the 28th June 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo. This provided the trigger for the start of the bloodiest war the world had seen to date. Nicknamed the War to end all Wars, World War 1 saw over 70 million military personnel mobilized. Four years later over nine million of these would be dead, along with approximately seven million non-combatants. The History of World War I chronicles that Great War in its many locations and in its many forms, from the exhausting heat of the African desert to the fields of France, and from the spectacular Battle of Jutland to the desperate attacks and counter-attacks of trench warfare. Throughout the book runs a continuous timeline, month by month identifying the events in each theatre of war. This is illustrated with more than 400 photographs and maps, with data tables, biographies of the zeppelins and tanks, civilians war,generals, the rise in importance of air power, main leadersatand and assessments of the armies, the Armistice andtheir the creation thepersonnel.

THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE

PONDERABLES

Mankind has forever strived to learn. The tribe with the better weapons can hunt more efficiently, defend itself better and take what it lacked from their neighbours. With the advent of farming and the ability to domesticate wild animals, the first civilisations began to form. Better housing, advances in medicine and the ability to pass knowledge down through the generations increased mankind’s knowledge of himself and his environment. The History of Science follows mankind’s journey from primitive stone tools and weapons, through the bronze and iron ages, through the Renaissance and on to a quest for the stars. With informative text, illustrations, diagrams and maps and a continuous timeline The History of Science will take you on a journey the like of which has never been seen before.

William Shakespeare

Bath Children’s Classics Treasury

The Complete Works

A luxurious new range of favourite children’s classics

Here are all of Shakespeare’s recorded plays, poems and sonnets, gathered together in a glorious volume that should take pride of place in every home, as well as making a vital contribution to schools, colleges and libraries. Augmented by over 500 illustrations and an exclusive Timeline Poster, this is no tedious textbook but emphasizes the enjoyment that can be had when exploring the Bard’s output. Hailing from Queen Elizabeth’s I’s Merrie England – since when over four centuries have passed – today William Shakespeare is the most-read author in the world, drawing enthusiastic admiration from every age group, every nation, and every category of audience ever known. Owning this prestigious volume will provide an opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the joy of the drama and climatic plots plus the magic of the words therein – the incredible manipulation and often creation of language.
