Great Events That Changed the World

DK PUBLISHING

A beautiful pictorial atlas charting the lands of the Bible, bringing the stories of the Bible to life in an exciting new way. Have you ever wondered where the amazing stories of the Bible took place? Which route Moses and the Israelites followed to get to Canaan? The size of the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus's birth? How far the Persian Empire stretched at its peak? The Bible Atlas covers all this and much more. The Bible Atlas examines the geography of the Holy Lands and the great nations that rules them. It looks at the lives of the people of the Old and New Testaments -- how they lived, traveled, and worshipped. And some of the most dramatic and important events of the Bible are lyrically retold with beautifully illustrated scenes that bring the stories to life. Archeological remains of some of the most important biblical sites are included, which modern-day pictures show the Holy Lands as they are today. With lively, authoritative text and beautifully detailed maps, the Bible Atlas takes us on a fascinating journey.

In the Beginning: The Nearly Complete History of Almost Everything

Dorling, Kindersley

Few tank designs have been as effective, versatile and long-lived as that of the British Centurion. Conceived during the Second World War as the answer to the superior German Tiger and Panther tanks and to the lethal 88mm gun, this 52-ton main battle tank incorporated the lessons British designers had learned about armored fighting vehicles during the conflict, and it was free of the major faults that had impaired the other British tank designs of the time. The Centurion was so successful that it served in the British Army and in numerous other armies across the world from 1945 until the 1990s. Pat Ware’s highly illustrated history of this remarkable tank covers its design and development, its technical specifications and the many variants that were produced. He tells the story from the design brief of 1943, through testing and trials to the tank’s entry into service. In addition, he traces the course of the Centurion’s subsequent career, as it was up-dated, up-gunned and adapted to operate in varied conditions and conflicts all over the world including Korea, the Indo-Pakistan wars, Vietnam and the Arab-Israeli wars. His expert account of this remarkable fighting vehicle is accompanied by a series of color plates showing the main variants of the design and the common ancillary equipment and unit markings. His book is an essential work of reference for enthusiasts.
