The hilarious minds from A Day in the Life of a Poo, a Gnu and You have teamed up once again, this time to give a taste of a day in the life of the most famous faces and fascinating places throughout history. Featuring a day in the life of early humans as they paint woolly mammoths on the walls of a cave, a fierce gladiator battling in the Colosseum and a codebreaker at Bletchley Park during World War II. And not forgetting the animals of history - from a day in the life of Hannibal's war elephant marching over the Alps and an Egyptian cat (worshipped as a god, of course) to a Galapagos tortoise who meets Charles Darwin on his famous voyage of the Beagle and Ham the space chimp. Readers can also discover the bigger picture behind famous constructions, including Stonehenge, the Great Wall of China and the Acropolis, and delve into the secret diaries of a swashbuckling pirate, a knight's horse and Edward Jenner's milkmaid. With over 90 entries told in the friendly, informative style of Mike Barfield and brought to life by Jess Bradley's fun illustrations, this book will have children learning and laughing as they go.

Should she risk everything to smuggle out nuclear secrets that will kick off the Cold War?

Got the Paleo blues? Eating the perfect diet for your genetic blueprint, but mysteriously feeling worse? Think it's because you’re not trying hard enough? Think all these problems are due to the one croissant you had 6 months ago? Think again! There are some serious flaws with the Paleo Diet. Sure, many people lose weight when they switch over to a boring diet of mostly meat and vegetables, and many see health improvements– legitimate ones, as happens when the nutrition content of a diet goes up dramatically. But many get ravaged by it in the long term, and there are clear, obvious, and very basic physiological reasons for it. This book goes into great detail about these reasons & includes a discussion of some of the most basic Paleo Diet tenets which are illogical or scientifically wrong. And of course, it includes valuable information on how to overcome and reverse some of the problems you may run into. Read this if you have been seduced by paleo logic, false promises, and scientific fairy tales.
