"I`m the Cat in the Hat, and we`re off to have fun. We`ll visit the planets, the stars and the sun!" And so Dr. Seuss` famous Cat in the Hat whisks young readers off on a fun-filled tour of the solar system.

Women have participated in war throughout history, but their experience in Russia during the First World War was truly exceptional. Between the war`s beginning and the October Revolution of 1917, approximately 6,000 women answered their country`s call. These courageous women became media stars throughout Europe and America, but were brushed aside by Soviet chroniclers and until now have been largely neglected by history. Laurie Stoff draws on deep archival research into previously unplumbed material, including many first-person accounts, to examine the roots, motivations, and legacy of these women. She reveals that Russia was the only nation in World War I that systematically employed women in the military, marking the first time that a...

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it`s wasted (like the underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there`s never enough time. But the construction of the world`s first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone`s problems. Thief Of Time comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes, villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).
