| Description: |
In 1900 London was the greatest city on earth. This book examines its power and influence at the turn of the century and investigates its relationship with Britain's far-flung empire. Schneer concludes that it is the people of London who made their city and continually remade and reshaped it - as they continue to do today. |
| Synopsis: |
In 1900 London was the capital of an empire that spanned the globe. This engrossing book is the first to examine the powerful city and its relationship with the British empire at the turn of the century. |

The One and Only Ivan
Inspired by a true story, this is the beautifully written tale of how a mighty gorilla wins his freedom. A winning blend of humour and poignancy that will appeal to fans of Michael Morpurgo.

Religion for Atheists
Argues that the supernatural claims of religion are of course entirely false - and yet that religions still have important things to teach the secular world. This book proposes that we should look to religions for insights into how to build a sense of community, make our relationships last, overcome feelings of envy and inadequacy, and more.
