dominic s discovery phinn gervase

Dominic's middle name is trouble, but not because he's got a troublesome nature, but quite simply because he's ALWAYS in the wrong place at the wrong time. So it's not surprising that he's only allowed on the school trip to Thundercliff Bay - home to pirate legend, chilling ghost stories and lost treasure - by the skin of his teeth. Or that strict Mr Risley-Newsome, who has his beady eye on him, makes him stay at the youth hostel for forgetting his walking boots. What is surprising is that a very special discovery made by Dominic saves the day when the whole class is in serious danger, and proves to everyone that sometimes he can be in the right place at the right time.

Kniha básniček a říkadel nejen pro Dominičky a Dominiky, ale pro všechny holčičky a kluky. Básničky o všedních věcech, které ještě nikdo nečet. Říkadla jsou tuze krátká, lehčí jsou než školní látka. Děda, babka, když je čtou, jisto jistě neusnou. Dětem se to bude líbit, je to totiž vyzkoušené, nejde všechno jistě slíbit, ale je to potvrzené. Je tam báseň o Agátě, jak se trochu válí v blátě. O Emilovi, co nemyje se, o lišce, která běhá v lese. Jaro, léto, podzim, zima, období co jsou tak prima. Každý měsíc v řadě slok, číst to můžeš celý rok.

State of Emergency : Britain 1970-74 is a brilliant history of the gaudy, schizophrenic atmosphere of the early Seventies. The early 1970s were the age of gloom and glam. Under Edward Heath, the optimism of the Sixties had become a distant memory. Now the headlines were dominated by social unrest, fuel shortages, unemployment and inflation. The seventies brought us miners'' strikes, blackouts, IRA atrocities, tower blocks and the three-day week, yet they were also years of stunning change and cultural dynamism, heralding a social revolution that gave us celebrity footballers, high-street curry houses, package holidays, gay rights, green activists and progressive rock; the world of Enoch Powell and Tony Benn, David Bowie and Brian Clough, Germaine Greer and Mary Whitehouse.

From the acclaimed Wolfson Prize-winning author, a dazzling history of the world''s emperorsFor millennia much of the world was ruled by emperors: a handful of individuals claimed no limit to the lands they could rule over and no limit to their authority. They operated beyond normal human constraint and indeed often claimed a superhuman or divine authority. In practice they ran the gamut from being some of the most remarkable men who ever lived, to being some of the worst and least remarkable.Dominic Lieven''s marvellous new book, In the Shadow of the Gods, is the first to grapple seriously with this extraordinary phenomenon. Across the world peoples, willingly or unwillingly, fell into orbit around figures who reshaped or destroyed entire societies, imposed religions and invaded rivals. Lieven describes the anatomy of imperial monarchy and the principles by which it functioned. He compares the great emperors of antiquity, the caliphs and the warrior-emperors of the steppe before he turns to the Habsburg, Russian, Ottoman, Mughal and Chinese emperors, packing the book with extraordinary stories, astute observations and a sense of both delight and horror at these individuals'' antics. The entire breadth of extreme human behaviour is here - from warlords to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Death and taxes are our inevitable fate. We''ve been told this since the beginning of civilisation. But what if we stopped to question our antiquated system? Is it fair? And is it capable of serving the needs of our rapidly-changing, modern society? In Daylight Robbery, Dominic Frisby traces the origins of taxation, from its roots in the ancient world, through to today. He explores the role of tax in the formation of our global religions, the part tax played in wars and revolutions throughout the ages, why, at one stage, we paid tax for daylight or for growing a beard. Ranging from the despotic to the absurd, the tax laws of the past reveal so much about how we got to where we are today and what we can do to build a system fit for the future.Featured on Stepping up with Nigel Farage''An important book for investors in gold and bitcoin'' - Daniela Cambone, Stansberry Research''This entertaining, surprising, contrarian book is a tour de force!'' - Matt Ridley, author of The Evolution of Everything''In this spectacular gallop through history, Frisby shows how taxation has warped, stunted and thwarted human progress'' - Mark Littlewood, Director General, Institute of Economic Affairs''Frisby''s ...
