From zero to infinity, The Book of Numbers opens up a new world of knowledge based on the magic of numbers. Within these pages, every number of significance is listed together with its special qualities and associations. Along the way, there are many detours and diversions as well as detailed box-outs which help throw further light on every number that counts. This book is a sequence of numbers, starting from zero and working forward, all presented in a fascinating and fun fashion. Numbers have occupied human thoughts since man first realized he had not one opposable thumb but two. And from simple enumeration they have grown to be the most important and universal language there is. This book highlights the dominant role that numbers play in everyday life, as well as exploring how numbers and number systems evolved, and delving into the mysteries of mankind's most powerful numbers. From algebra to astrology, music to mythology, from religion to recreation and from science to superstition, The Book of Numbers embraces this infinitely broad subject and puts it all in order—beginning with 0.

Words have come a long way since they were invented as a nifty tool to help us communicate. We have played with them, made up rules for them, added bits to them and taken bits off. We've gathered them into languages, adopted and defined them, then redefined them. The words we use say so much about who we are, yet most of them slip from our mouths without a second thought. The Book of Words is a brief pause for reflection in the ever-changing life of words, a snapshot of the English language and how we use it today. It includes a look at long words, short words, old words, new words, brilliant words, and, of course, annoying words. From the historical to the grammatical, the biographical to the sociological, this is an A-Z of words about words for word lovers, from "aardvark" to "zythum" and beyond. This book also includes the profiles of the men and women whose creativity with words has enriched the world for ever more: Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Lewis Carroll, as well as the odd unfortunate whose struggles with words have given us untold mirth: Mrs. Malaprop, Rev. Spooner, and George W. Bush.

Within these pages, every number of significance is listed together with its special qualities and associations, featuring explanations, for example, of how a pack of playing cards came to have fifty-two cards, or why there are fifty-two weeks in a year. Where else in one place could you find out how the illegal numbers racket works, what makes some people see numbers as colors, why the standard US rail gauge exactly matches the axle width of an ancient Roman chariot, and the numerological connection between Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden? Our lives are ruled by numbers and this book tells you about every one that counts.

The Book of Words

A stunning iconic photographic collection where evocative black and white photographs from the past are placed side by side with the present in vivid colour, this nostalgic visual journey joyously contrasts related images from the past with those from the modern era. This includes Arsenal's open-top bus ride through Islington in 1930 shown opposite the Gunners' triumphal double-winning 21st century parade; or the 1950s Brylcreem Boy pin-up, Dennis Compton, juxtaposed with David Beckham. "Football Yesterday and Today"'s unique concept allows the modern fan to see just how much things have moved on over the years but also how football remains the great game it always was.
