[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
I am reading second edition of this scientific feast that is published every year. It is for astronomers both academic and amateurs. It is kind of encyclopedia. I liked story on voyager one and effect of starlink satellites on astronomy. Book is full of wonderful insights about upcoming astronomical events and has spotlight on heroes of the past.

A good overview of the different ways to use rags and fabric to make rugs. The opening chapters cover the history of fabric and of using rags. Following this are chapters on methods, materials, and on specific techniques. Included throughout are inspiring pictures of work by the author. Each chapter on a technique includes a starter project.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars If you trembled with terror as the T-Rex thundered towards you, prayed you would reach the end of a level with only a sliver of health or tried to lock the elderly butler in the freezer, then this rigorous unofficial history of the birth of Tomb Raider and its sequel is the book for you. I vividly remember loading up Tomb Raider for the first time and being dumbstruck by its atmosphere and realism. It cost around £40 which was a fortune back in 1997, but I still have it and play it. This was something nobody had seen before; it required an entirely new sklllset from the player. The freedom of movement, though limited by today’s standards, was mind blowing. Once it clicked, I lost hours of my life inside its world. Released in the time of the Spice Girls, Tony Blair and Britpop, Tomb Raider quickly became a global phenomenon. Author Daryl Baxter has interviewed every member of the creative team behind the games (including Lara’s voice artists) and vigorously.. Read more

' [i]The Grim Test[/i] is an immensely satisfying read, and is highly recommended... An impressively researched and immaculately written history of an era that, for perfectly understandable reasons, cricket historians have hitherto tended to neglect. It is also well produced, nicely illustrated and has an excellent index.'

There is a huge focus on mental health and well-being right now, whilst we are in the middle of the pandemic. Adam Shaw's book will be of some help to certain people, and is a welcome addition to the literature on people's mental health problems.
