Mia thinks of herself as a grown up. Her twenty-two-year-old sister, Clare, is once again in the death throes of an affair that was always doomed to failure.

Beginning with an unlikely stowaway`s account of life on board Noah`s Ark, A History of the World in 10??? Chapters presents a surprising, subversive, fictional history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Noah disembarks from his ark but he and his Voyage are not forgotten: they are revisited in on other centuries and other climes - by a Victorian spinster mourning her father, by an American astronaut on an obsessive personal mission. We journey to the Titanic, to the Amazon, to the raft of the Medusa, and to an ecclesiastical court in medieval France where a bizarre case is about to is no ordinary history, but something stranger, a challenge and a delight for the reader`s imagination.

Open your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, and get ready for a history lesson like none you`ve ever experienced. You`re about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men`s magazines-not magazines about sports, not fashion, not hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse in ten easy steps, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men`s hearts and other body parts: the undraped female form. Former men`s magazine editor Dian Hanson traces its development from 1900 to 1980 in six massive and informative volumes. Why two volumes on the 1960s? Because when men`s magazines were finally accepted on the newsstands something had to fill their old niche under the...

Completed in 1136, The History of the Kings of Britain traces the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by Brutus to the coming of the Saxons some two thousand years later. Vividly portraying legendary and semilegendary figures such as Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin the magician and the most famous of all British heroes, King Arthur, it is as much myth as it is history and its veracity was questioned by other medieval writers. But Geoffrey of Monmouth`s powerful evocation of illustrious men and deeds captured the imagination of subsequent generations, and his influence can be traced through the works of Malory, Shakespeare, Dryden and Tennyson.
