Behind the wholesome image of the world`s most popular drink lies a strangely murky & often violent past. When tea began to be imported into the West from China in the seventeenth century, its high price & heavy taxes made it an immediate target for smuggling & dispute at every level, culminating in international incidents like the notorious Boston Tea Party. In China itself the British financed their tea dealings by the ruthless imposition of the opium trade. Intrepid British tea planters soon began flocking to India, Ceylon & Africa, setting up huge plantations; often workers were bought & sold like slaves. Roy Moxham`s account of this extraordinary history begins with his own sojourn in Africa, managing 500 acres of tea & a thous&-strong workforce. His experiences inform the book & led him to investigate the early history of tea
- & the results of his researches reflect little credit on the British Empire, while often revealing a fascinating world story.

First published in 1953, Teach Yourself Cycling is a beautiful, lovingly reproduced window into a distant age, where understanding the good manners of the road & enjoying the innocence of the family picnic dominated life on two wheels. Yet few vehicles have changed as little as the bicycle in the 65 years since this book first published. For all that they have become immeasurably lighter & better adapted to a range of terrains, the basic mechanics remain the same
- & a deeply recognisable spirit of joy runs through this book, even though the author, Reginald Shaw, feels he needs to reassure his readers that cycling can be ”a pleasurable activity as well as a mode of transport”. This book is perfect for fans of cycling interested in how the art & practice of riding a bike has changed. From a stout defence of `the good manners of the road` to a surge of enthusiasm when mapping out the itinerary of a good cycling holiday, this book is warm, interesting & enlightening. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.

Originally published in 1958, Teach Yourself Good Manners is a fascinating guide, packed full of both timeless advice & tips that demonstrate just how much life has changed in the 60 years since it published. Indeed, the author, W S Norman, would doubtless be horrified by modern manners & would implore us to study his rather uptight but very funny rules for modern living. Amusing, intriguing & sometimes rather inspiring, this handbook is a window into how life would have looked had we lived in a `a simpler age`
- in which, confusingly, they had rather a lot of strange rules. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.
