The Savage Storm - James Holland - Bog - Transworld - Plusbog.dk

''Richly impressive, hard to surpass'' William Boyd ''A notable account of an epic human experience'' Max Hastings ‘James Holland brings every inch of this battle vividly to life’ History Revealed ‘This excellent book… The Savage Storm reinforces Holland’s reputation as certainly the busiest and probably the most popular military historian of the second world war working today’ Spectator ‘A must for anyone wanting to better understand the brutal campaign… thoroughly deserves a place on the bookshelf’ Soldier Magazine _____________________ From the bestselling author of Brothers in Arms comes the story of the most pivotal Allies campaign of World War II. With the invasion of France the following year taking shape, and hot on the heels of victory in Sicily, the Allies crossed into Southern Italy in September 1943. They expected to drive the Axis forces north and be in Rome by Christmas. And although Italy surrendered, the German forces resisted fiercely and the swift hoped-for victory descended into one of the most brutal battles of the war.Even though shipping and materiel were already being safeguarded for the D-Day landings, there were still huge expectations on the progress of the invading armies, but those shortages were to slow the advance with tragic consequences. As the weather closed in, the critical weeks leading up to Monte Cassino would inflict a heavy price for every bloody, hard fought mile the Allied troops covered.Chronicling those dark, dramatic months in unflinching and insightful detail, The Savage Storm is unlike any campaign history yet written. James Holland has always recounted the Second World War at ground level, but this version telling brings the story vividly to life like never before. Weaving together a wealth of letters, diaries, and other incredible documents, Holland traces the battles as they were fought - across plains, over mountains, through shattered villages and cities, in intense heat and, towards the end, frigid cold and relentless rain - putting readers at the heart of the action to create an entirely fresh and revealing telling of this most pivotal phase of the war. _____________________ Praise for James Holland ''Impeccably researched and superbly written'' Observer ''Holland has something new to say.... Filled with insight and detail'' Neil Oliver ''James Holland is the best of the new generation of WW2 historians'' Sebastian Faulks ''[A] captivating and dramatic account. . . Drawn from letters and diaries, Holland’s immersive narrative is told through the eye-level perspectives... Readers will be enthralled'' Publishers Weekly ‘A remarkable achievement by a historian at the height of his powers. Holland has successfully illustrated both the significance and the savagery of the Italian campaign... through a powerful and compelling narrative’ Military History Matters

Birds - Simon Papps - Bog - New Holland Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Birds - Simon Papps - Bog - New Holland Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The second title in the new and lavish ‘Deluxe’ natural history series from Reed New Holland, this book is packed with sumptuous photography of more than one hundred of the world’s most amazing bird species. So many people watch birds, perhaps because they can be seen almost anywhere. Look out of any window and there is a good chance that before long you will see some of our feathered friends. And while some species can be seen in our gardens, others have very specific requirements meaning that they are restricted to tiny fragments of habitat in remote forests or mountains. Another attraction is the sheer number of species. At the last count there were more than 10,000 bird species in the world. The images celebrate the astonishing variety and beauty of birds, from swans and flamingos to kingfishers and hummingbirds. And the images have stories to tell, from spectacular courtship displays by frigatebirds, cranes and birds of paradise to specialised feeding adaptations such as the barely believable beak of the Sword-billed Hummingbird. Amazing shots of birds from around the world, including portraits, action pictures and mind-boggling images of flocks, are brought together via a foreword explaining why birds have been such an evolutionary success story. In short, Birds is a glorious memento of a fascinating subject, brought together in a luxurious book that celebrates the many astonishing species from all around the planet, making it ideal for nature lovers, as a gift, or as an interior-design feature in any home.

Reptiles - Steve Wilson - Bog - New Holland Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Reptiles - Steve Wilson - Bog - New Holland Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Packed with sumptuous photography, this is one of the first titles in the new and lavish ‘Deluxe’ natural history series from Reed New Holland. The images celebrate the beauty and marvellous design of some of our most misunderstood animals, the reptiles. They share a magnificence and elegance that we are now beginning to really appreciate. They are, in the true sense of the word, awesome! The images have stories to tell. A gecko with padded toes dashes across vertical glass, seeming to mock the laws of gravity as it moves effortlessly over that smooth surface. In just a fraction of a second a chameleon unleashes its tongue, a high- velocity projectile, with the accuracy of a marksman to snatch an insect from a twig a body’s length away. In a powerful test of strength and endurance, two great Komodo Dragons, the largest living lizards, rise on their hind limbs and try to topple each other in a meeting of muscles and scaly hides. Stunning shots of snakes, lizards, crocodiles and turtles from around the world are brought together via a foreword from expert herpetologist Steve Wilson, who explains why reptiles are such an ongoing success story, having been around for 200 million years and with 12,000 extant species adapted to habitats as varied as arctic tundra, deserts, rainforests and open oceans. All in all ‘Reptiles’ is a glorious memento of a fascinating subject, brought together in a luxurious book that celebrates the many astonishing reptile species from all around the planet, making it ideal for nature lovers, as a gift, or as an interior design feature in any home.
