Talk
about diversity! Chartwell
Books presents four new books from about the most diverse range of subjects
imaginable: WWII, Art Supplies, The Bible and The Beatles!
Author
William B. Breuer examines WWII in a unique an intriguing new way: by writing about
the little mentioned facet of the war; top secrets and secret weapons.
World
War II was the war that determined the survival of Western civilization—or at
least a free democratic Western world, and undoubtedly with the rest of the
known world as well.
To
put it blunt-war is nasty and often even the good guys have to use some pretty
questionable tactics to win.
So
too do the bad guys.
In
this fascinating book: ‘Top Secret Tales OF World War II’, the author delves into
the hidden corners and crevices of the war and explores the shadowy worlds of
espionage, assassination, deadly weapons and other darker and sinister aspects
of the war.
It’s
a fascinating study and examination of the part of war most people seldom see
and for good reason.
As
former art teacher and artist and designer myself I’m always looking for new
art techniques and media with which I can express myself or complete a project.
‘The
Complete Guide To Art Materials & Techniques’ is an invaluable resource for
any new or veteran artist.
Illustrators,
painters and designers are privy to a plethora of new and old art materials, their
uses, advantage and disadvantages.
Full
color photos offer easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by examples of each medium
and technique.
Everything
from pencils to watercolor and oil painting are explained in full detail
accompanied by handy tips and tricks.
As
a Christian I’ve found it hard to find a book that explains in simple and clear
terms the history of the Scriptures.
In
‘The Illustrated Guide To The Bible’ author J.R. Porter uses period art, photos
and other visual aids along with captivating and researched text to carry
readers through the Bible.
It
makes for a satisfying trek through the Holy Word as it brings the Bible alive
with references, art depicting Bible times and explanations of the significance
of events and how they tie into ancient and modern times.
I
look forward to absorbing every page and sharing my new found knowledge with
fellow Believers.
What
was it like to be a member of The Beatles?
How did they spend their days both in front of the public eye and alone?
The
Fab Four were a world-wide phenomenon with everyone wanting a piece of
them. Imagine the tremendous pressure
put on the members of the band and how hectic their lives must have been.
In
author Richard Harver's new book: ‘The Beatles The days Of Their Life’ readers
get a rare behind-the-scenes look into the day-to-day activities of the famous quartet.
From
the earliest days to their breakup the book follows the band members as they
deal with fans, family, friends and their own personal struggles.
It’s
a delightful and personal look at the four young men who changed music forever
and influenced society in the 20th Century. Changes felt even today.
Filled
with photos, documents and interesting insights the book is a treasure trove of
information about the band that changed the world.
