Book Description
A word of warning: Do NOT purchase this novel if you intend reading the Tilbert trilogy novels (see below). Reading this novel will somewhat spoil the trilogy.After finishing the Tilbert trilogy so long ago, and then voyaging back there via Where on Earth, I felt I had wrapped it up. Then the Bossley series of stories came along. That was it, yes? There was no more to say about Tilbert.But wait. The earliest time period we explore with Tilbert is when he was in his mid twenties. What happened before that time? We know about his father and mother from Books 1 and 2 of the trilogy. We heard in Book 3 that he first timejumped when he was young, to impress his father, and that he was off timejumping when his father was killed. That's about all we know. What was his childhood like? How did he cope in those first years within palace life without a mother, and with a father who seemed to be constantly off timejumping?You will find these answers, and many more, in this novel, as we explore Tilbert's early life, right up to the time he finally confronts his nemesis. You will discover why Tilbert is the way he is, and you finally discover how he came to be in that gully, bloodied and bruised, before he met Mrs Stickles for the first time. Yes, the adorable old dimwit is back too, as well as some others we first met in Book One, and some we did not personally meet back then.The Tilbert Trilogy:A Timeless AdventureTime for TruthsComing of Age.Follow-up novel to the trilogy:The Beginning.Companion novel:Where on Earth.Companion novellas in the Bossley Series:The Centurian Courier (short story)On Trebulas ThreeHarold and DaphneWhere Did They Go?Kathleen and Isabel.

Book Description
“Hypnotic….It is ever tempting to try to fathom his restless spirit and his determination to challenge fate.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man) is one of the most revered and enigmatic filmmakers of our time, and Fitzcarraldo is one of his most honored and admired films. More than just Herzog’s journal of the making of the monumental, problematical motion picture, which involved, among other things, major cast changes and reshoots, and the hauling (without the use of special effects) of a 360-ton steamship over a mountain , Conquest of the Useless is a work of art unto itself, an Amazonian fever dream that emerged from the delirium of the jungle. With fascinating observations about crew and players—including Herzog’s lead, the somewhat demented internationally renowned star Klaus Kinski—and breathtaking insights into the filmmaking process that are uniquely Werner Herzog, Conquest of the Useless is an eye-opening look into the mind of a cinematic master.

Book Description
Inventing Africa is a critical account of narratives which have selectively interpreted and misinterpreted the continent's deep past. Writers have created alluring images of lost cities, vast prehistoric migrations and golden ages of past civilizations. Debates continue on the African origins of humankind, the contributions of ancient Egypt to the world and Africa's importance to global history. Images of "Africa," simplifying a complex and diverse continent, have existed from ancient Mediterranean worlds, slave trading nations and colonial powers to today's political elites, ecotourists and aid-givers. Robin Derricourt draws on his background as publisher and practitioner in archaeology and history to explore the limits and the dangers of simplifications, arguing -- as with Said's concept of "Orientalism" -- that ambitious ideas can delude or oppress as well as inform. Defending Africa against some of the grand narratives that have been imposed upon its peoples, Inventing Africa will spark new debates in the history of Africa and of archaeology.

Book Description
This edition of Herzog on Herzog presents a completely new set of interviews in which Werner Herzog discusses his career from its very beginnings to his most recent productions. Herzog was once hailed by Francois Truffaut as the most important director alive. Famous for his frequent collaborations with mercurial actor Klaus Kinski - including the epics, Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo, and the terrifying Nosferatu - and more recently with documentaries such as Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Into the Abyss, Herzog has built a body of work that is one of the most vital in post-war German cinema.
