Magic takes many forms. The ancient Egyptians explained the night by suggesting that the goddess Nut swallowed the sun. The Vikings believed a rainbow was the gods` bridge to earth. These are magical, extraordinary tales. But there is another kind of magic, & it lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality
- science. Packed with inspiring explanations of space, time & evolution, laced with humour & clever thought experiments, ” The Magic of Reality” explores a stunningly wide range of natural phenomena. What is stuff made of? How old is the universe? What causes tsunamis? Who was the first man, or woman? This is a page-turning, inspirational detective story that not only mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think like a scientist too. Richard Dawkins elucidates the wonders of the natural world to all ages with his inimitable clarity & exuberance in a text that will enlighten & inform for generations to come.

The Magic of the Swatchways was Maurice Griffiths` favourite book. In the words of John Leather, `few sailing books become classics like this one`, & since first publication in 1932 it has lost none of that fresh charm which has endeared it to so many generations of sailing. The book tells of cruising in a 6-ton cutter, a lean hulled 7-ton yawl, a converted smack, a sloop-rigged converted ships` lifeboat, a small barge yacht & a centreboard sloop in the heart of Maurice`s beloved East Coast shoal waters, & all infused with the Griffiths` trademark evocative charm. The Magic of the Swatchways will enthrall anyone who is entranced by the peace & solitude of the creeks at night & the moan of the sea on the sands. It provides a fascinating insight into a unique area which may never again be the same. ...
