Matchbox Toys
Lesney Products was formed in 1947 to make zinc castings, mainly for the building industry; toys were a sideline when business happened to be slow. To cash in on the upcoming 1953 Coronation of Princess Elizabeth they decided to model a miniature of the Coronation Coach. When this sold a million pieces it spurred on and financed a new venture that would become a household name: Matchbox Miniatures. In 1954 came the #5 London Bus and the #7 Horse Drawn Milk Float and the range took off, with road vehicles of all sorts, all modelled at a size that would fit in a child's hand. And these were joined by Accessory Packs and Major Packs, slightly larger toys but made to Matchbox size, plus fold-out Card Roadways, Service Stations, Pocket Catalogues and Carry Cases. Then in 1969 came great change. Mattel had released their range called 'Hot Wheels' with high-speed wheels and axles, and in order to compete Matchbox retooled everything to have their own Superfast wheels and axles, along with brighter or newer colour schemes. 'Superfasts' regained their lost sales and were a common sight in every playground and young person's bedroom in the 1970s and 80s. Beloved of two generations of children, and now highly collectable, the Matchbox 1-75 range is a British institution that has now found its perfect introduction in this book.

The Battle of the Berezina
First full-length study of the climax of the 1812 campaign - the battle at the Berezina river.In the winter of 1812, Napoleon's army retreated from Moscow under appalling conditions, hunted by three separate Russian armies, its chances of survival apparently nil. By late November Napoleon had reached the banks of the River Berezina - the last natural obstacle between his army and the safety of the Polish frontier. But instead of finding the river frozen solid enough to march his men across, an unseasonable thaw had turned the Berezina into an icy torrent. Having already ordered the burning of his bridging equipment, Napoleon's predicament was serious enough: but with the army of Admiral Chichagov holding the opposite bank, and those of Kutusov and Wittgenstein closing fast, it was critical. Only a miracle could save him... In a gripping narrative, Alexander Mikaberidze describes how Napoleon rose from the pit of despair to the peak of his powers in order to achieve that miracle. Drawing on contemporary sources - letters, diaries, memoirs - he recreates one of the greatest escapes in military history - a story often half-told in general histories of the Russian campaign but never before fully explored.

Unofficial Wrestling Figure Retrospective 1990-1994
Regardless of what was going on in the real world, the early 1990s was a great time to be a child. Suspend belief as the tanned heroes of the wrestling world that came to life with the release of the WWF Hasbro wrestling figures. In the real world of wrestling it was a period of change for the WWF and this was the same with the action figures. LJN had just lost the contract for the figures and although they looked good they didn't look too much like their real-world counterparts. Along came the WWF Hasbro figures and change all that. Like most men in their early/mid/late 30's I grew up with the wonderful world of the WWF. These were the days when every wrestler was a superstar (unless they were 'currently in the ring') and became names you'd know and love almost 30 years on. The majority of these heroic superstars were immortalised forever in wrestling figure format. This book brings together the love, appreciation and obsession for these figures. As you look through the pages you'll reminisce about those feeling of running to your local store to see which figures feature in the aisles. Looking for that elusive figure you've been hunting for. The elation of finding them and the struggle of who will be your next champion. With this book, the Unofficial Wrestling Figure Retrospective 1990-1994, all those memories come flooding back. Find out what happened to the Rhythm & Blues Greg Valentine. What about the mythical Brutus Beefcake Red & Yellow figure? I'm sure someone said something about The Beverly Brothers tag team? The fabled Orange Card series? All this and a whole lot more can be discovered inside this book... So read it now, before it pins you 1-2-3!

Transnational Art Crime
How does transnational crime interact with legal companies andgovernments? Are legal actors primarily victimized by transnationalcriminals or are the two connected by collaborative relationships? Andhow are these crimes often transformed into legitimate activities?This book seeks to answer these and related questions. Its main topicis the translational illicit art and antiquities trade, based on a thoroughempirical study of data gathered in France, Italy, the Netherlands andother places around the world. The reader will encounter a large numberof case studies, from auction houses selling looted antiquities to violentrobberies of museums and castles, and much more.Added to this is an analysis of the way legal and illegal actorsinteract around all kinds of transnational crimes, from terrorism to drugtrafficking, cigarette smuggling, trade in blood diamonds and covertoperations of intelligence agencies around the world. This analysis istranslated into an analytical model to understand the interfaces betweenthe legal and the illegal, and in fact the absence of a meaningfuldistinction between "upper" and "underworld." After reading this book, one will never think in the same way about transnational crime and theillicit art and antiquities trade as a most interesting part of it.

Gun ControlWhat Australia did, how other countries do it & is any of it sensible?
Australians have been repeatedly told that their gun laws have made them safer. But the data does not support that and there's no reason it should - gun availability and violent crime are independent variables. A high level of gun control does not reduce violence, and a low level of gun control does not increase it. Countries with stringent gun control would not become violent if their gun laws were relaxed, and countries with relaxed gun laws would not become less violent if they adopted stringent gun laws. This book takes a detailed look at Australia's gun laws and their impact on gun violence including mass murders. It also considers gun laws in the UK, New Zealand, India, Czech Republic, Ireland and the United States, in chapters written by people who live there.
