Whether chocolate is good or bad for us has been the subject of much speculation since it was first discovered, with one camp saying it makes us fat, gives us spots, headaches & heart disease & the other imbuing it with aphrodisiac-like properties, working on our endorphins to make us happy. Migraine sufferers, weight- watchers & people with no taste buds aside, chocolate (from Lindt bunnies to h&-made truffles) is still considered to be one of life`s most tempting & delicious pleasures. While chocolate consumption in the Western world is at an all-time high with the average Briton consuming 8kg of it each year, it is something of an anomaly that inhabitants of The Ivory Coast- the world`s leading cacao producer- consumes little more than the equivalent of a handful of Maltesers every 365 days.A self-confessed chocophile, Paul Richardson travels around the globe in Indulgence uncovering the secret history of chocolate & sampling recipes from the most divine to the downright diabolical along the way. ...

Miguel Indurain is Spain`s greatest cyclist of all time & one of the best Tour racers in history. He is the only bike rider to have won five successive Tours de France, as well as holding the title for the youngest ever race leader in the Tour of Spain. This is his story. As the all-conquering hero of the 90s, Indurain steadfastly refused to be overwhelmed by fame; remaining humble, shy & true to his country roots. Along with his inhuman calmness, iron will-power & superb bike handling skills, he was often described as a machine. Yet 1996 saw Indurain, the Tour`s greatest ever champion, spectacularly plummet, bringing his career & supremacy to an abrupt end. In Indurain, Alasdair Fotheringham gets to the heart of this enigmatic character, reliving his historic accomplishments in vibrant colour, & exploring how this shaped the direction taken by generations of Spanish racers
- raising Spanish sport to a whole new level.

Industrial Narrow Gauge Railways

This book examines those railways in Britain that served industry and had a track gauge smaller than the British standard gauge of 4 feet 81/2 inches. Whether they were temporary contractor s lines or more permanent installations, these meandering, often poorly maintained railways have a special fascination. This book deals in turn with the locomotives, the rolling stock and the track, describing their development. It pays tribute to the inventors of an earlier age and to the more recent groups of enthusiasts who have been keeping the narrow tradition alive. About the authorIan Dean was appointed founder Director of the Amberley Working Museum, Sussex in 1979. Developing this new open-air museum involved the incorporation of a major collection of narrow-gauge equipment. In 1989 he
became Managing Director of the Mid Hants Railway, later a freelance consultant. He is now retired.”
