A
As you accompany author Nick McDonald on his journey
through France, you’ll feel like you are really there with
him. My Trip And Other Mistakes isn’t just the usual
collection of local people and landscapes. With real
practical tips on where to eat, it’s a must for every tourist.
B
Squaring the Triangle , from Vivian Norris, is one of those
rare books that gives you a new understanding of an old
subject. Everyone knows that planes and ships have
disappeared in the part of the Atlantic known as the
Bermuda Triangle, but no one knows why. Norris discounts
all previous ideas and comes up with one or two
interesting theories of her own to solve the problem.
C
Crime writer Carol Masterton has done it again. In her
latest work Not One Before Another , she creates a mystery
that will have you scratching your head. The unusual name
of the book comes from the last words of Shakespeare’s
well-known play “A Comedy of Errors”, and like that work,
this book involves a lot of confusion over who is who.
D
After the success of the hardback version last year, it was
only a matter of time before Introducing Myself appeared in
paperback. Now everyone can enjoy Henry Bannerman’s
stories of his travels round London as a taxi driver. It’s
only 3,99 pounds, compared to 5 pounds for the hardback,
so there’s no excuse for not getting to know this lovable
character.

will love Shooting Animals by Ian Clarke. Clarke shows
you in great detail how to catch those moments when
animals are in their best. If you want to improve your
picture of wildlife, then this is the book for you.

For years now Karen Wilde has been recreating history on
our TV screen in Past Lives . Finally, fans of the show can
buy her book that shows exactly how our great-
grandparents lived. Past Lives : The Book is the result of
three years of research and it gives you a very accurate
idea of what it was like to be a child back then.

This is the perfect book for those of you who are thinking of
taking up a new pastime. The author, Greg King, certainly

Dear Editor,
I really don't think that readers need your journal any more. In your articles you write about new achievements of scientists and about all those "man made wonders". I'm strongly against the propaganda of technological progress. It has done people more harm than good. It has created the nuclear bomb, it has made lots of animal species extinct, and now it's destroying the ozone layer and causing global warming. It will bring us to collapse very soon.
I demand that scientific research of any kind should be prohibited, and journals like yours should be closed. People need fresh air and clean water and don't need any technological progress.
Sincerely your,
John Lester

Achievements in medicine make it possible for people to live longer.

Dear Mr Lester
I've read your letter on the technological progress but cannot agree with you. Though technology affects nature and the environment, it would be unfair to say that they don't do people anything good.

However,you are right that we should do something to stop the negative effects of the technological progress. We all need to think about it and be reasonable and constructive.
