Non-Fiction Books for Sale (posted separately)
I had put this post on Neighbourly previously, but Neighbourly have asked me to place each book in a separate post, so I will give the details of each book, separately in each post, with the price of each book, all of which are very interesting books, and all in very good condition, and I will attach a copy of the front of each book, the first one being as follows:
THE 20th CENTURY: THE PICTORIAL HISTORY (Published 1989) (560 pages) This monumental volume provides a complete pictorial record of our century year by year. Drawing on the resources of one of the world’s largest picture libraries, it presents a superlative collection of over 1,500 photographs, accompanied by an authoritative and lively text which describes the key events of the last 89 years – from the relief of Mafeking and the death of Queen Victoria to the Chernobyl disaster and the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. The book covers not only the military and political events that have made headlines throughout the world, but also has international milestones in the arts, sciences, exploration, sport, and daily life. Each decade has its own introduction, highlighting the major themes – socialism, nationalism, fascism, civil rights – so that the reader can trace the social and political developments that have taken place. Each year begins with a short chronology of important events worldwide, and goes on to highlight major themes.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
