<p>Vladimir of Russia (960-1015), a prince of Viking origin, founded the Russian State and converted his people to Christianity. This is the first complete biography of his life, based on Russian, Greek, German, Arabic and Icelandic sources. Endowed with exceptional talents as a warrior, diplomat and administrator, Vladimir seized his brother's throne and expanded his rule over the whole of Russia. A shrewd, hospitable and progressive ruler, later to become the benevolent "Red Sun" of Russian folklore, he adopted the Christian faith from the Greeks in 989 and is now recognized as a saint by the Christian churches. Vladimir Volkoff has written several plays and novels and has won the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Academie Francaise, the Prix Chateaubriand and the Prix Jules Verne.</p>

<p>Is the story about the Star in the East true? And, if so, what exactly was the 'star'? While Sir Patrick cannot give a definitive answer, in The Star of Bethlehem he looks at various astronomical theories and comes up with a possible answer of his own. Who has not heard of the Star in the East? It is one of the most famous stories in the Bible, and tells us how the Wise Men came to Bethlehem to seek out the infant Jesus; they were guided by a brilliant star, which 'went before them' and stopped over the place where the child lay. Though all this happened two thousand years ago, the fascination of the Star of Bethlehem is a great as ever. This book presents the astronomical candidates in detail. Was it a star, a planet or planets, a comet, a nova or a supernova, or a shooting star? Unique artwork shows precisely how the sky would have appeared from Jerusalem at that time, so readers can assess for themselves which astronomical phenomena are likely solutions to the puzzle. Everyone who has wondered about this part of the nativity will enjoy Sir Patrick's honest and engaging account.</p>

Mr Tottenham Hotspur provides a fascinating insight into one of football's greatest-ever managers, the late Bill Nicholson OBE, who died in October 2004, aged 85. Although he won England caps as a full-Back, Nicholson is best remembered as the manager whose Spurs team became the first English club in post-war history to win the League Championship and FA Cup double in 1961, setting records that are still unbeaten. He went on to lead Tottenham to European glory in 1963, the first English club to win European honours. Of the 16 trophies the famous North London club has won, Billy Nick was involved in nine of them. Mr Tottenham Hotspur looks back through the life and times of Nicholson, a dour Yorkshireman whom Spurs fans believe deserved a knighthood. The book reflects on how Bill did more than anybody to establish Spurs as a club famed throughout the football world in the 60s and 70s for its style, panache and glory. Spurs legend Steve Perryman contributes a poignant foreword and there are also heart-warming tributes from a long list of Tottenham greats and past favourites, including Jimmy Greaves, Terry Venables, Cliff Jones, Pat Jennings and Glenn Hoddle. Sir Alex Ferguson heads a star cast of rival managers who pay tribute to Bill, while friends and family of Tottenham's greatest manager, members of the media and supporters from all over the world, also provide anecdotes and personal memories of a genuine giant of the game.

Like the Spitfire, and a relatively small number of other classic aircraft, the DC-3/C-47 Dakota is a breed apart, distinguished not only by her exceptional design, engineering, durability, performance, and her many other fine characteristics, but by her enormous base of admirers. To the millions of her passengers, and the enthusiastic captains and crews who have operated these planes for more than 70 years, and those whose lives have been affected by her in the most dramatic ways, she is unforgettable. Without question, the great Douglas Plane changes history, opening the era of modern air travel in the 1930's and as the backbone of allied air transport in the Second World War. In this new book, "Legend", the fascinating wartime and post-war history of a significant surviving veteran of that war, the C-47A N1844A is traced, along with the pre-war, wartime and post-war story of the fabulous DC-3/C-47 Dakota type. "Legend" is a powerful, impressive celebration of one of the most important machines of all time. In his book Crusade in Europe, General Dwight Eisenhower wrote: 'Most senior officers regard as the most vital to our success...the bulldozer, the jeep, the two and a half ton truck, and the C-47'. None of these had been designed for their combat role.
