The Time Travel Handbook
Not many of us can claim to have dipped our handkerchiefs in Charles I's blood after his execution, or to have watched Vesuvius erupt, but that's about to change... Wyllie, Acton & Goldblatt's Time Travel Handbook offers eighteen exceptional trips to the past, transporting you back to the greatest spectacles in history. We offer the chance to join Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and to march on Versailles with the revolutionary women of Paris. You can sail with Captain Cook to Tahiti and Australia, and spend time at Xanadu with Marco Polo and Kubla Khan. Or, closer to the present, you might accompany Charlie Parker at the birth of bebop or The Beatles in Hamburg, and take part in the VE Day celebrations in London or the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The notable authors and time travel agents, Wyllie, Acton & Goldblatt are your guide to these and other unmissable events, charting the action as it will unfold, and advising on local customs, and what to wear, eat and drink, for the most authentic of experiences. Forget museums, forget history books - the only way to do history is to live it.

The Man who Touched the Sky
When Joe Kittinger finally came to a halt, he found himself in a paradoxical world of preternatural colour where the sun blazed from a sky as black as pitch. A few minutes on the very border of space were enough to persuade him to throw himself form his open gondola with relish.

The Ideas Companion
Everyone is interested in new ideas. So much so, that there's an entire industry behind every invention, trademark, design, domain name and brand that we come across every day of our lives. It's been estimated that each one of us comes across 1,500 trademarks every single day (and a staggering 30,000 when we go to the supermarket!). This book tells the stories behind the ideas. From Coca-Cola's slogans to Alan Shearer's goal scoring celebrations, from DNA to John Deere tractors via Einstein's day job: this is the book that links them all. Which famous brand was known as the Mae West? Why did the 'Got Milk' ads offend the Spanish? What on earth is a face bra? 'The Ideas Companion' has all the answers and so many more. You'll even discover the invention that warns about nuclear air strikes, and protects the owner's cat flap... at the same time! And, like all the books in the Companion series, there's a magnificent piece of statistical trivia to match each page number. 'The Ideas Companion' has been compiled in association with Computer Patent Annuities Ltd Partnership - one of the world's leading intellectual property service providers.

Built for Speed

The smells, the noise and the speed were all there for me to experience. It was like a massive injection in my head and it just blew my mind. I knew within seconds that I was going to be a TT racer. I didn’t know how or what I was going to have to do to achieve this, and my dad wasn’t going to be keen. Everyone around me was aware of the dangers, but from that moment I knew I had to do it.’ John McGuinness is one of the all-time giants of road racing, with a huge host of victori...
