Book by Evan, I. O.

This profusely illustrated book traces the history and the development of the gun, from the most primitive handheld cannon introduced some six hundred years ago, to the sophisticated prototypes under trial today. Between these extremes lies an enormous variety of guns, ancient and modern, from all parts of the world, many of which are available to collectors and to enthusiasts. A detailed account is given of the introduction and use of each type and class of gun with particular emphasis on the varieties of guns not commonly encountered and seldom described or illustrated elsewhere. The first part of this book describes how a collection of guns and other related objects may be built up, and an account is given of the care and restoration of firearms. Directions in which the collector may research his own material are described.

This updated edition contains a large amount of new knowledge of British fishes which stems from scientific fishery research, the upsurge of interest in natural history and the increased number of sea anglers. The text will enable the general naturalist, the angler or school child to identify any of the common sea fishes. Information is given on the food, migration, breeding habits and distribution around the British Isles; there are other natural history notes on all common species and some rarer ones. 32 illustrations are in full colour with many others in black and white.

This pocket-sized guide, with its numerous illustrations, many of which are in colour, is an invaluable source of information for the music-lover. The first chapter, on sound, is followed by descriptions of the instruments of the modern orchestra, their origins and development, together with notes on the ancient instruments of the past. Stringed instruments, wind, percussion, the organ—all are dealt with, and the reader learns what each instrument looks like, and how it works. The second half of the book contains explanations of terms which the reader is likely to find in the concert programme, and also a section containing biographical notes on the composers of today and yesterday. An appendix explains elementary musical terms employed in the text.

Book by Whitehead, Stanley B

Manned Spaceflight, this exciting addition to the well-estabilished Observer's series, provides a factual reference book which not only informs but entertains. The author, Reginald Turnill, has been covering manned spaceflightsince Yuri Gagarin first soared into orbit in 1961. As the BBC's Air and Defence Correspondent, he has been able to follow in detail the rapid and impressive development of missiles, rockets and spacecraft. His first-hand coverage of every major US spaceflight, from Shepard's first, tentative suborbital 'lob', right through to the historic day when Armstrong first stepped on the moon, and the remarkable lunar exploration mission that followed has provided the facts and descriptions contained in this volume. Since no Westerner has yet been allowed to witness the launch of a Soviet cosmonaut, no similar first-hand accounts are possible of the rival Russian space programme. But all available sources have been stuwdied to provide an equal careful account of Soviet flights. As the Skylab picture on this dust jacket demonstrates, The Observer's Book of Manned Spaceflight also looks ahead, and provides invaluable information about future spaceflights and spacecraft.
