|title=An Empire on the Edge

|rating=5

|genre=History

|summary=The history that we are taught is centred on events. Often we know the dates, the central characters and the outcome. We seldom identify and study the causes. 'An Empire on the Edge' is history writ large and looks at the chain of events leading to the Boston Tea Party, and subsequent American War of Independence. What emerges is a catalogue of human failings and frailties that shaped the destiny of America and Britain in the eighteenth century. Many of the failings were avoidable but the accumulation and chain reaction they caused had a catastrophic effect on thousands of lives and has shaped the character of two nations ever since.

~~|title=Star Wars: Galactic Atlas~~

~~|rating=3.5~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=At the time of writing this review, people are eagerly tapping away at phones, laptops and screens everywhere to find out what they can about ''Rogue One'', the ''Star Wars'' film that's the first live action cinema effort to be off to one edge of the canon, and is five whole weeks away. Perhaps, however, there is a chance that all the many books being released that mention the ability to tie in to ''Rogue One'' will let slip something important. The volume at hand ''includes a map from…'' said movie, and all the maps here initially seem to feature a huge amount of information. Could valuable secrets be herein?
