Описание: For centuries, philosophers, scientists, and charlatans have attempted to decipher the baffling mysteries of our past, from Stonehenge to the lost continent of Atlantis. Today, however, DNA testing, radiocarbon dating, and other cutting-edge investigative tools, together with a healthy dose of common sense, are guiding us closer to the truth. Now historian Peter James and archaeologist Nick Thorpe tackle these age-old conundrums, presenting the latest information from the scientific community-and the most startling challenges to traditional explanations of mysteries such as:

- The rise and fall of the Maya
- A lost cache of Dead Sea Scrolls
- The curse of Tutankhamun
- The devastation of Sodom and Gomorrah
- The Nazca Lines and the Vinland Map
- The existence of Robin Hood

These true mystery stories twist and turn like a good whodunit, as James and Thorpe present the evidence for and against the expert theories, shedding new light on humankind's age-old struggle to make sense of the past. Ancient Mysteries will entertain and enlighten, delight the curious and inform the serious.

Описание: Like most of us, Nick Thorpe wants to be in control. But being his own boss has proved trickier than he expected: the harder he pushes himself, the more resistance he meets. Heading towards another desk-bound deadline crisis he decides it's time to ask for help.

Starting with a sympathetic female life-coach, Nick goes in search of that modern Holy Grail: mastery of self. The trail begins with Samuel Smiles, the Victorian Scots GP who published the first self-help book 150 years ago, and whose disciples include, slightly unnervingly, Margaret Thatcher. From there it's a short step to naturism, the ultimate act of self-revelation.

Nick also joins a team of base-jumping parachutists to test himself in a life-or-death situation. Seeking a change of pace, he visits the monks of Soctland's Nunraw Abbey, and tries on the habits of society's most cloistered advocates of self-sufficiency. These are just some of stops on a hilarious, revealing and touching journey towards a renewed sense of balance and purpose.
