Maths is often cited as the ‘most difficult’ or ‘complex’ subject to study, many people admitting to a wariness that was probably ingrained into them in their schooldays. In Maths in Bite-sized Chunks, Chris Waring proves that it’s easy to break the subject down into accessible, understandable information, much of which, in fact, we use in one way or another every day of our lives. Each chapter takes readers through the theory, demonstrating how to master it with worked-through problems and examples from the real world. Topics that once seemed impenetrable suddenly become relatable and easier to unpick. So whether it’s algebra or statistics that once had you flummoxed, get ready for a new way of being mathematically minded. ISBN: 9781782438564 24 Hours in Ancient Rome 198x129mm • 272pp A Day in the Life of the People b/w illustrations Who Lived There Hardback • World • £12.99 Philip Matyszak Publication date: 05/10/2017 Walk a day in a Roman’s sandals. What was it like to live in one of the ancient world’s most powerful and bustling cities – one that was eight times more densely populated than modern-day New York? In this entertaining and enlightening guide, bestselling historian Philip Matyszak introduces us to the people who lived and worked there. In each hour of the day we meet a new character – from emperor to slave girl, gladiator to astrologer, medicine woman to water-clock maker – and discover the fascinating details of their daily lives. www.mombooks.com Michael O’Mara Books @OMaraBooks 4 ISBN: 9781782439110 24 Hours in Ancient Egypt 198x129mm • 272pp A Day in the Life of the People b/w line illustrations Who Lived There Hardback • World • £12.99 Charlotte Booth Publication date: 18/10/2018 Spend twenty-four hours with the ancient Egyptians. Ancient Egypt wasn’t all pyramids, sphinxes and gold sarcophagi. For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra. During the course of a day in the ancient city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor), Egypt’s religious capital, we meet 24 Egyptians from all strata of society – from the king to a prostitute, a priest to a laundry man, a midwife to a soldier – and get to know what the real Egypt was like by spending an hour in each of their company. We encounter a different one of these characters – all from different walks of life – every hour and every chapter, and through their eyes see what an average day in ancient Egypt was really like. ISBN: 9781782439028 The Mysteries of History 198x129mm • 256pp Graeme Donald b/w line illustrations Hardback • World • £9.99 Publication date: 19/04/2018 As Napoleon once observed, history is largely a set of lies agreed upon by the winners and, once a lie attains the dignity of age, it becomes the truth. As everyone knows, Marco Polo travelled to China to become Kublai Khan’s right-hand-man; Pope Joan was a medieval woman who fooled the Catholic Church; and the Great Fire of Rome was started by Nero to clear the way for his urban redevelopment of the city … Well, no, actually. Marco Polo got no further than Turkey, where he sat picking the brains of those who had actually been to China; there was no female Pope; and as Nero said all along, it was the Christians who torched the city. As this intriguing book reveals, the greatest mysteries of history centre on who invents such false accounts in the first place, how they gain traction so quickly and why others are so willing – anxious, even – to believe them. www.mombooks.com Michael O’Mara Books @OMaraBooks 5 ISBN: 9781782438496 How to Behave Badly in 234x153mm • 288pp Renaissance Britain b/w line illustrations Ruth Goodman Hardback • World • £20.00 Publication date: 05/04/2018 Journey through a history of offensive language, insulting gestures, insolent behaviour, brawling and scandal in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with practical tips on just how to horrify the neighbours. • Drunkards, swashbucklers and harridans rub shoulders with people with disgusting table manners and neighbours whose dung heaps and noise drove others crazy. • Bestselling historian and popular TV presenter Ruth Goodman draws upon advice books and manuals, court cases and sermons, drama and imagery to outline bad behaviour from the gauche to the galling, the subtle to the outrageous. • Discover just how far apart your feet should be if you wish to mock a soldier or how to parody the walk of a preacher to the amusement of your friends and, if you do blow your nose during dinner, how to put everyone off their food.

  • A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography
    A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 4 Periodical Articles circa 1994-2010 Primary References, Alphabetical Listing Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2018 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Volume 4, Periodical Articles, Primary References INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. Volumes 3-6 in the supplement are assembled from the general periodical literature and from selected Sherlockian or Doylean periodicals; it now includes 8,879 citations. Those selected periodicals or newsletters include (at this point): The Baker Street Journal Baker Street Miscellanea Baker Street West 1 The Beeman’s Christmas Annual The Camden House Journal Canadian Holmes The Friends of the Sherlock Holmes Collections Newsletter The Holmes & Watson Report The Illustrious Clients News The Musgrave Papers The Nezire Zanmai International The Ritual The Serpentine Muse Sherlock The Sherlock Holmes Gazette The Sherlock Holmes Journal Sherlock Holmes - The Detective Magazine Shoso-In Bulletin The Strand Magazine (Birmingham, MI) Varieties of Ash Coverage of these periodicals or newsletters begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other periodical titles will be added at a later date. Articles selected from the general periodical literature include items in which the keywords “Sherlock Holmes” or “Conan Doyle” were found within the body of the text or abstract of the article.

But in the meantime, here are few brief paragraphs to tide you over: The BSI’s Distinguished Speaker on Thursday evening was Theodora Goss, an award-winning author of poetry, short stories, and novels in the fantasy genre (Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are characters in three novels about the Athena Club). On Friday the Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where Emily Miranker proposed the traditional preprandial first toast to her mother, Cathy Miranker, as The Woman. The annual dinner’s agenda included the usual toasts, rituals, and papers, and Mike Whelan (the “Wiggins” of the BSI) presented Birthday Honours (Ir- regular Shillings and Investitures) to Mary Alcaro (“Ivy Douglas”), Frank Cho (“The Duke of Balmoral”), Walt Colby (“Neil Gibson”), Carlina de la Co- va (“The Anthropological Journal”), Nancy Holder (“Beryl Garcia”), Freda Howlett (“The British Government”), Ken Ludwig (“Jack Stapleton”), David Richards (“Colonel Warburton’s Madness”), and Jim Webb (“The Curious Inci- dent of Sherlock Holmes in Japan”). And Andy Fusco received the prestig- ious Two-Shilling Award.
