Echoes of Eerie Encounters
‘Something rose out of the bottom of the pool. It looked like a giant snail, but its head was part human, its body and limbs part squid or octopus. An enormous succubus.

Amazing Discoveries In Science
Science is full of surprises—not just in what we discover, but in who gets the credit. From the innovations of ancient civilizations to the breakthroughs of modern medicine and technology, this book traces the ideas that transformed human life. Alongside the celebrated figures of history, it reveals the lesser-known pioneers whose contributions laid the groundwork for what we know today. Did you know that Pythagoras did not discover his famous theorem, or that Darwin was not the first to describe natural selection? Many scientific milestones were the result of cumulative effort, chance encounters, or forgotten insights later revived and credited to others. With clear explanations and vivid storytelling, Amazing Discoveries in Science explores the ingenuity, persistence, and occasional accidents that shaped our world. It is both a fascinating history of science and a reminder of the unsung figures who changed it. Ideal for curious readers, students, and anyone interested in the human stories behind the great ideas of science.

The Children of Hurin
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, this paperback of the epic tale of The Children of Húrin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves, dragons, Dwarves and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. It is a legendary time long before The Lord of the Rings, and Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Túrin and his sister Niënor will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Húrin, the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth, and destroy the children of Húrin. Begun by J.R.R. Tolkien at the end of the First World War, The Children of Húrin became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.
