Jewish London
London has had a strong Jewish presence since the 11th century. In this evocative and richly illustrated guide to Jewish London, authors Rachel Kolsky and Roslyn Rawson offer a fascinating look at Jewish London today. The Jewish population hovers around 196,000; by contrast, the Jewish population of the entire United Kingdom is slightly less than 300,000. Whether visiting the bagel and falafel bars of Golders Green or the Orthodox community of Stamford Hill, Kolsky and Rawson offer smart and thoughtful observations.
The illustrations are especially noteworthy. The wonderful mural "Story of East End" by Beverley-Jane Stewart is a marvel in its own right, while the contemporary photographs place Jewish London in a historical context. All chronicle the changes that have occurred over the centuries. The historic community of Brick Lane, for example, has been transformed from a 20th-century Jewish neighborhood into the well-known center of London's Bangladeshi neighborhood.
The guide features a series of walking tours based on Kolsky's experience as a Blue Badge London Tourist Guide with an emphasis on the East End (the Jewish Whitechapel Walk contains everything from historic murals to the site of former settlement houses), Central London and Hampstead. The authors describe synagogues; Jewish or Jewish-themed museums (from the Freud Museum to the Jewish Museum); and kosher cafes, restaurants and shops.
In addition, wonderful sections explore aspects of Jewish London in more detail, including a portrait of Disraeli's London (Benjamin Disraeli, the noted 19th-century British prime minister), Holocaust memorials (such as the Holocaust Exhibition at the Imperial War Museum and the Holocaust Memorial Garden in Hyde Park) and Jewish cemeteries. The guide concludes with a glossary of Jewish terms.
The book is a must for anyone interested in exploring Jewish life in London past and present.

The Book of Leaves
It's what it says it is - a visual guide of six hundred leaves representing some of the world's most beautiful trees. It can be used for identification, knowledge, as a treasury of leaves. Each leaf is beautifully photographed, in addition there is a small line drawing of the tree showing height and form, information about the tree and similar species. Also on each page is a map of the world and key facts. It's fascinating to see the subtle differences between species. This is a book that many people would pay ten times the asking price. As an author of gardening books myself that involve much research, I really admire the detail and research that have gone into making this book. It is a triumph. Recommended for anyone who loves trees.

The Garden Bird Handbook
Whether you know your garden birds well or find it hard to recognise more than a sparrow, this is a wonderful book. It not only helps you to recognise birds but also to encourage them into the garden. The book is full of useful information on providing for birds - habitat, food and more. It even gives instructions for making a nesting box. I liked the section on types of gardens for birds, including the £100 a year, 30 minutes a week bird garden. This book has wide appeal and is aimed at everyone. For the real aficionado, there is an interesting look at bird behaviour. The garden bird year will help you to understand migration and what birds are around at a particular time of year. This can be used together with the identification section so that you know what you are looking at. The book includes many colour photographs and very good illustrations of birds.

Feed The World - Birhan Woldu And Live Aid
I am compelled to write this commendation of Oliver Harvey's both moving and deeply disturbing biography of Birhan Woldu "Feed the World - Birhan Woldu and Live Aid" which I have just read. Last night when I tried to sleep all my dreadful nightmares returned as I was back in 1984 trying to feed dying babies.Through my work as an A-CET Trustee and over the years I have come to know Birhan well, so this book was a seminal "must read" task for me. Normally I shun these books, films and reports as my feelings of utter inadequacy return. I feel I just can't do enough and this hurts me deeply. What the book does and what Oliver Harvey has captured in a unique way was how it actually was at that time. By chronologically weaving together world events together with Birhan and her father's indomitable courage and determination, it brings it all alive to me. This is a vibrant resounding story of Birhan and her family, but it could be any of thousands even millions of other Ethiopians who have came through this terrible time stronger. Do not be discouraged to read this because this is a very positive story set in incredible country that tells how "AID", for all its faults and detractors, really does and can work helping to literally change lives, communities and countries for the better. This is compelling read for anyone who cares about the world and humanity. I strongly urge you to read it as it has the potential to change your life as well.

Fishy Fishy
Excellent photography brings an atmosphere of the sea. However I found myself more interested in the photography - beautifully styled in blue, than the recipes. There are some good recipes in here - there are some that are too simple to need a recipe and there are plenty of recipes without a photograph. If you are a real fish lover, then I would buy this book. If you want to expand your simple repertoire, give it a go - you'll find many dishes you perhaps have not thought of. If you are looking for fantastic gourmet recipes to dish up to friends then I would give it a miss. A well priced book that offers good value.

Home Sewing Techniques
This is an easy to use book that explains and demonstrates sewing techniques. I found it extremely easy to follow. It includes everything you need to know to make things for the home. Projects are clearly illustrated and templates are given at the back. The projects are varied and each demonstrates a different sewing skill such as piping, casings, trimmings, chair seat covers, vertical border curtains and much more. I have many sewing books on my shelf and I have often found it hard to learn anything from them - not so with this. If you struggle with perfecting your sewing techniques or learning sewing skills, then this is the book for you.

25 Foods Kids Hate (And How To Get Them Eating 24)
How do you get kids to eat foods that are good for them? I remember when I was 10 and I refused to eat anything but pickled onions, pickled cabbage and a mars bar on Sunday afternoons. Fiona Faulkner knows all about finicky eaters. In this book she presents scrumptious ways to get kids to eat the foods they hate. I like the 25 rules and the nutritional tips. Getting the kids involved with cooking is a good start, but beware that in practice if they see the food they hate, no matter how you dress it up, you might have a revolt on your hands. I once cooked bean burgers for some nieces, they loved them. So I thought we would cook them together, when they saw the ingredients they refused to touch them. This colourful book includes all sorts of recipes, even ice creams.

Wild Flower Wonders Of The World
This is a fantastic book for anyone interested in wildflowers. Seeing wildflowers in their natural habitat is awesome. If you cannot get to the sites in person, this is a wonderful book to transport you there. The photography is terrific and the book is so colourful. Bob Gibbons takes us to fantastic wildflower places from Europe including Ireland and the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, Australasia and North America. See the machair of the Outer Hebrides, flowery hay meadows below Mont Aiguille in France, the grasslands of southern Transylvania, the Namaqua desert, rare orchids, mountain scapes and more. Soak up the colour and see flowers as they are meant to be. These natural habitats have a knack of making you realise just how beautiful the natural world is and why we should treasure and preserve such beauty. The text is interesting and informative. Each site has an information panel which helps you to decide when to visit and reasons to go. This is a book I enjoyed very much and is of interest to those who love natural flora, the gardener and the traveller alike.

The Food-Lover's Guide to Europe
Guides to local festivals and farmers markets round off the short chapters, helping to satiate those with the 'travel bug' by taking down language barriers and allowing people to select the specific cities they want to visit and includes restaurant recommendations to boot! As far as guides go, I'd say this is a good starting block, each country and region could be expanded on in their own separate titles. But as a reader and a keen traveller wanting to explore more of Europe myself, I can't help but feel slightly short-changed as only the more familiar countries seem to have been explored.

Barn Owl
Why should you buy this? Firstly, it is beautifully illustrated will numerous colour photographs which should satisfy even the most demanding 'Tytophile', each showing a different aspect of the owl's lives and behaviours. Secondly, the writing is far from cursory. David Chandler presents the facts in a very thorough yet readable style and looks at Barn Owls across their entire world range, rather than concentrating solely on the UK's birds. An excellent and attractive distillation of what is known about this iconic species

The Atlas of Empires manages to convey a stunning amount of information, covering over 4000 years of history. Teachers may find this book suitable as high-quality teaching material, often surpassing the summaries of empires found in high school textbooks. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wishes to have an overview of the empires of the world.

A Fan's Guide to World Rugby
This book could become a bible for all those ludicrously fortunate people who have the time and money to wander the world taking in all the culture and cuisine and all the top rugby. However, it will also be a useful travelling companion for all those taking delight in one-off trips. The illustrations and pictures are absolutely top quality, the book is easy on the eye as well as splendidly useful

Atlas of Rare Birds
This fascinating book is about why many birds are disappearing from our planet. The bird chapters read like thrillers - always exciting, sometimes mysterious or very sad (the Hawaiian po'ouli or the Indian vultures). Couzens is a master writer and the book is impossible to put down. I read Atlas of Rare Birds cover to cover - undoubtedly the best bird and conservation book I've read for years.

Barn Owl
The writing is both concise and detailed but not too 'heavy' or academic and the book should therefore appeal to a broad readership. The book deserves particular praise for avoiding any hint of Anglocentrism. The numerous references to Barn Owl studies across Europe and particularly in North America give the book a commendably international feel and also draw out interesting differences between populations in size, plumage, food preferences and movements. There are, for example, a number of good photographs of Dutch Dark-breasted Barn Owls. In summary, this is an excellent introduction to the Barn Owl. With large, clear, readable text and an abundance of photographs, it is a highly accessible book that represents good value for money.

The Little Book of Medical Breakthroughs
Naomi Craft's small book is a handy reference guide to the development of medicine over the years. She takes us through some of the most significant advances in chronological order, with each entry being one or two pages long, and also covering the main people behind the discoveries and breakthroughs, the time of the breakthroughs, and the places the advances originated. There is enough context and surrounding information in each short article for the book not to feel too much like a dictionary and, as everything is in chorological order, it is something you could read to get a general feel for the history of medicine.

Atlas Of Empires
What I admire most about the Atlas of Empires is its succinct and perceptive account of history from the earliest days of settlement and civilisation in Mesopotamia about eight millennia ago to the European Union. It is an ideal introduction to the human story. It is beautifully and meaningfully illustrated, the maps placing the narrative in detailed geographical context.

The Private Life of Spiders
Hillyard is a true spider devotee, and he cheerfully informs us that there is no escape from his subject. . . . The Private Life of Spiders is a stroll through their largely hidden world, highlighting the most spectacular, unusual, and instructive of the eight-legged brethren. After a brief overview of spider evolution and biology, Hillyard launches into the meat of his subject-a sweeping overview of spider diversity, commencing with those species whose habits and bodies are the most primitive, and culminating with those paragons of arachnid evolution, the elegant orb-weavers

The Art Of Perspective
This is a technical book that takes you through every element of learning perspective. This new approach studies perspective in depth - it is not for the beginner or the hobby artist. Over 600 schemes accurately represent how to work out perspective. I did get a little bit lost once we got into the 45 points, but the book starts off simply enough on vanishing points etc. I know many artists who struggle with perspective and I don't think this book would help them much. However if you are into technical drawing and have a mathematical brain, this is the book for you. You will truly learn everything there is to know about perspective. If you really want to grips to grips with perspective, this is a must read. The book is beautifully laid out and the line drawings, as you would expect are brilliant.

Atlas Of Empires
This is not just a book of maps detailing the extent of empires, but also a fascinating history of how the empires came into being. The 60 maps are detailed, showing natural resources. Although this is not really a large format book that one normally associates with atlases, it packs in a great deal of information. Anyone interested in empires and older civilisations would do well to read this. It starts with the Sumerians and Egypt and ends with the European Union. The book is divided into several chapters organised by the leading force which forged the empires: war and peace, the classical world, faith, horse, isolation, global empires, nations, industrial capitalism and utopia.

Vegetarian
A celebration of vegetarian food proving that meat is not King and that vegetarian cookery is varied, interesting and wholesome. This book is not your usual vegetarian beans and pulses or salad and pasta book. I have been vegetarian for many years but was not familiar with some of the ingredients - Indonesian and Vietnamese dishes. This book contains a wealth of recipes from the ordinary to the unusual. Dishes include pumpkin ravioli, quiche, ratatouille strudel, butternut squash soup, gado gado and so much more. Not every recipe is photographed, but the photographs are excellent and the recipes very tempting indeed.

Bread
This is one of those books that makes your mouth water as soon as you flip through it. There are so many recipes you want to try you don't know which to choose. You curse your luck that you have not got the ingredients in the pantry to start baking bread straight away. I did also curse the fact that the recipes are for a bread machine, but with a little magic, I can make these bread recipes work without one. For all bread machine owners - this is an essential book- containing all kinds of recipes including gluten free, ciabatta, french bread, tea-time breads and much more besides. I shall make the tomato breads and many more. There is nothing like the smell and taste of home-made bread.

Specialist Series: The No Dig Garden Specialist
The No-dig method is a proven way to improve the crop yield in your vegetable patch. It has to be the way to go for anyone who has tried the double-dig, back-breaking method. This book provides essential information on growing the basic, ordinary veg and fruit crops in a no-dig garden. Whilst much of the book is dedicated to the individual fruit and veg, not a great deal is given to the no-dig method itself - there is just enough concise information to get you started. The layout is rather old-fashioned and could do with updating.

Allotment Source Book
It is aptly titled and is the sort of book that you have on hand when you need information. I can't see that it omits anything. I found the opening explanation of the historical origins of allotments particularly interesting. It was concise but well written and very clear. The strong emphasis on organic principles will appeal to many modern allotment people. All the advice for pest and disease control is helpful as is the guidance on encouraging a natural environment around and within the allotment to produce good results. The pictures and illustrations are excellent and we will recommend it to our membership. It would make an great gift for anyone who has an allotment.

The strong emphasis on organic principles will appeal to many modern allotment people. All the advice for pest and disease control is helpful as is the guidance on encouraging a natural environment around and within the allotment to produce good results. The pictures and illustrations are excellent and we will recommend it to our membership. It would make an great gift for anyone who has an allotment.

Allotment Source Book
The Allotment source book is a book that even the most experienced allotment holder could learn something from.It starts by giving a background history of allotments through the years and then you are taken into every aspect of allotment life.This is a perfect book for somebody who has just taken over an allotment but I also think that even the most experienced grower could learn something.I would certainly recommend the book to my fellow allotment holders.

Sleep Manual- How to achieve the perfect night's sleep
If anyone needs this book - it's me. I often survive on two hours sleep. I get to sleep but wake in the night and rarely regain that state of slumber. So I was very intrigued to see if I could learn the secret of sleeping. This book offers some sound advice. In the first half, it tells you all about sleep and the effects of the lack of it. I learned about sleep apnoea. Discover how to evaluate your insomnia. Find out about alternative therapies. Use the CD. See the part played by physical activity. I'm not saying this book has cured my insomnia, but I understand it better. The problem is no-one ever follows a book like this to the letter - if we did, I have a feeling we would sleep better.

Allotment Source Book
This book is a two inch thick hardback with excellent quality pages. The photos are also fantastic and whilst some are just pretty, most of them are really useful and informative. As someone who teaches allotment gardening, I would highly recommend this as it is extremely well written, covering the basics thoroughly and yet with lots of fascinating extra detail, such as how to make nettle string and comfrey tea. There is a month by month guide and sections on an enormous range of fruit and veg. Both beautiful and useful!

The book contains information as densely-grained as mahogany and just as sturdy for building plans around. The author clearly has excellent source material to draw on in many subject areas and her writing quickly establishes absolute trust that this isn't just another Lakes book that takes the name of the national park as a licence to do just-good-enough work. Imposing and rich in its scholarship while conversational and accessible in its tone. A book truly worthy of its subject.

All the essentials plus a lot more.

Elizabeth I - Virgin Queen?
Full of interesting facts, this is an enjoyable argument as to whether Elizabeth had secret affairs. I must admit I had never given this any thought. The Tudor court is a fascinating period of history and Philippa has researched the topic well. In places it gets a little bogged down with strings of names and who was related to whom. I like the pictures that are included. I still cannot decide whether Elizabeth was a life-long virgin or bore children. Can you? Worth reading and easily envisaged as a film or TV series, as is Philippa's book 'The Other Tudors' - read both.

The Other Tudors: Henry VIII's Mistresses & Bastards
I wanted to read this because I find Henry VIII a most interesting person. This book told me more than I wanted to know. Gone is my idealised vision of Henry as a man manipulated by his ministers to sire a heir to the English throne. Philippa does not quite persuade me that Henry was romantic, seeking the perfect woman and love. Instead I now view him as a womaniser, a man whose eye was caught by any pretty maid. The book is readable, interesting and well researched. However, owing to the intense nature of the detailed research, small anomalies have appeared. This does not mar the book as a whole. I don't think it is intended for historians but mainly for its entertainment value. I like the way the book is divided up although sometimes this has led to repetition. At times I got lost in the endless strings of names - I read mostly late at night. Yet, Philippa manages to put across the characteristics of the people involved very succinctly. Overall, I think that anyone interested in this period of history will find this book fascinating. Easy to see this as a TV series or film.

Highlighting some of the author's favourite London walks with detailed maps, this is superb for visitors but also those living in the capital. The 30 walks include Windsor and Eton.

I can't help but feel that this is one of those books with the wrong title. I thought it would be full of yummy Christmas cake recipes.

Drawing With Coloured Pencils
This fabulous 128 page book is one of the best I have seen for coloured pencils. There is an excellent introduction. The book then covers four different areas - still life, landscapes, people and animals. In each section, skills are taught such as achieving realism, skin tones and much more. Each section contains four step-by-step drawings, making a total of sixteen. So often with this type of book, the step-by steps are not at all interesting, but this book has achieved a balance between the ease of instruction and maintaining the interest in the subject. I love the turtle, the cat is brilliant too (and I'm not a cat person). I want to have a go at all 16 demonstrations. Well illustrated, this 128 page book is well worth the money.

With 7 million extra spent on holidays in the UK by the British public last year - this is a very timely book. Nothing could be more persuasive in its powers to get you to the British seaside than this guide. Its fabulous photography is stunning, portraying the true beauty of the coastline. A flick through this book could persuade you that you are looking at anything but Britain. The turquoise seas, fabulous stretches of golden sands, tiny sandy bays and coves, beautiful landscapes and incredible sunsets - yes, it's all here in Britain. So forget the long waits at airports, the worry of terrorism, the nightmare of long haul because this book will persuade you that what you want is right here on your doorstep. 38 of the best destinations that will put Britain back on the holiday map. Includes a guide to the area, best places to stay and eat, getting there and places to visit. A couple of years ago, I was amazed by the rugged beauty and long sandy beaches of Tynemouth, not featured but the beauty of our own coastline cannot be denied.

Cornwall, Devon and Somerset
Part of a series of new guides for Britain, this book explores one of the best areas of Britain and includes the place I love the most - Cornwall. It has enough for first time visitors from those on foot and using public transport to those with cars. For the seasoned visitor, this might not be enough as the unusual has not really been sought out. This corner of England is such a delight that it is so worth while to visit and this is a handy companion for visitors new to the area. Includes getting there and getting around, where to eat and stay and all the sights to see. Setting the book in context, there is a short history of the area and some photos to tempt you to visit.

Crisp Packet Fireworks
I get a lot of requests for interesting and exciting science experiments to do at home. There are a books with good experiments but poor science or good science but boring experiments. Now, at last, there is a book that is packed full of great experiments that really work and spot on science explanations, by real scientists. I now happily recommend this book to everyone that asks. I've even been giving it as presents to my friends' science-hungry kids. Well done Naked Scientists!

Clematis
Clematis are one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. They are so much more than the large hybrids most gardeners plant. The species are worth getting to know. Examples of these are covered in this book. This book is a good introduction to clematis. It provides good cultural notes and interesting information about the plants. Most of the photos are fine, but some are poor and do little to express the natural beauty of the plants.

This is a handsome book full of good advice on growing vegetables accompanied by good layout and photography. It covers the usual vegetables and fruit but nothing out of the ordinary. There is a list of suppliers but again the usual names, nothing unusual or out of the ordinary. What a pity she did not mention the Seed Search, the book which helps gardeners to find all kinds of seed.

Love... Knitting
Good beginner's knitting instructions with excellent photography throughout. Toasty slippers are one of my favourites from the 25 projects in this book. The cashmere stole is also excellent as well as the skinny scarf and the shrug. Like its counterpart, Love...Crochet, I found the rest of the pattens a little dated but well worth buying for the patterns I have mentioned. There are hats, scarves and sweaters too.

Crochet is fashionable once more. This book has a good mix of 25 projects that will build your confidence in crochet. There is an excellent how-to section. I love the cobweb gloves and spiky scarf. Some of the projects still a little old-fashioned, but a good introduction to crochet.

Make a Monster
Bright, playful and full of joy, these monsters are not only for kids but for grown-ups too. Secretly, I'm in love with Rufus and dying to take him to bed - but don't tell anyone. Instead of pinching the kids' sweets, you could start pinching the toys. This book could divide families! 15 gorgeous, fun-loving projects made with easy fleece. Very clear instructions with templates, so suitable for beginners. More experienced sewers might like to add their own character faces to these wonderful patterns. I want them all. Recommended for the young and young at heart. A great introduction for kids starting to sew too, under supervision by an adult of course. Projects are graded. Sheer delight!
