HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it. After a harrowing tour in Afghanistan, Dr Watson returns to London to convalesce at 221B Baker Street, home to the enigmatic Sherlock Holmes. Their lives are irrevocably thrown together by news that a man has been found dead in a grimy 'ill-omened' house, with the word 'rache' - German for revenge - written in blood on the wall. This grisly discovery is complicated further by the look of utter horror on the victim's face, and the complete absence of any wounds on the body or sign of a struggle. First published in 1887, 'A Study in Scarlet' is the remarkable first-outing of one of literature's most famous partnerships.
A magnificent summation of the ideas already made popular in Baxter's three previous Xeelee Sequence novels: Raft, Ring, and Timelike Infinity, and a panoramic vision of a deeply strange and exotic human future over a period of millions of years.
From the author of YOURE WEARING THAT? (recent New York Times bestseller), this bestselling classic work, with a new afterword by the author, draws upon groundbreaking research by an acclaimed sociolinguist to show that women and men live in different worlds, made of different words.
The Hells Angels have been the most notorious group of motorcycle bad boys in America for the last forty years.Perhaps the baddest Angel of all is founding member and club visionary, Sonny Barger - who has been sanctioned by the club to tell, for the first time ever in this New York Times bestseller, the truth about the rat-packing group of free spirits who are simultaneously feared and envied throughout the world.
'Nonsense is the breath of my nostrils', wrote Edward Lear (1812-88), and this collection demonstrates the wonderfully varied ways in which he pursued his philosophy of life. He created an extraordinary world filled with bizarre creatures - from the Dong with a luminous nose to the Pobble who has no toes - who misbehave with joyful abandon. Here can be found such exuberant and timeless verse as 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat, The Quangle Wangle's Hat' and numerous comic limericks, along with stories, letters, alphabets and recipes, all accompanied throughout with his fantastical line drawings. Gently pointing out human follies and the absurdities of the conventional Victorian society in which he lived, Lear's nonsense has enchanted children and adults alike for generations.

The third edition of Crusader Archaeology updates previous editions to include coverage of important recent work in the field. It examines what life was like for European settlers and travellers to the crusader states during the centuries of Latin rule.Examining past, recent and ongoing archaeological discoveries, and research in the field from Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and Cyprus the volume includes recent findings and approaches including new exploration work in urban sites such as Jerusalem, Acre and Caesarea, new work on industrial sites and new discoveries in research including DNA studies, the field of weaponry and many other topics. It covers such topics as settlement types, fortification, daily life, day-to-day activities, warfare, religious life, arts, industry, leisure pursuits, building technology, agriculture, medicine, death and burial. It considers, in all these fields, the manner in which the Frankish population was influenced by the local and neighbouring populations, and how, in many of their endeavours, the Franks evolved and developed their own, unique and often remarkably advanced material culture. Together with the archaeological evidence, Crusader Archaeology provides a historical background to the various topics in order to provide context to each of the discussions. Crusader Archaeology remains the only comprehensive study of the architecture and material finds of the Crusader period.This well-illustrated volume serves as a basic textbook for students and scholars with an interest in the Middle Ages and in particular the Crusades and the Latin East.

Cussy's not onlya book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else.
