New Releases by Stephen BIESTY

''The ancient city of Rome is the perfect subject for Stephen Biesty''s illustrations - beautifully constructed, technologically advanced, and teeming with life. Titus''s Roman Holiday takes in the Temple, the Forum and the Baths, the Colosseum and chariot racing at the Circus Maximus, allillustrated in stunning, painstaking detail. There are cross-sections, cut-aways and explosions, authoritative annotations, lists and explanations. Biesty captures the epic scale of the city - the capacity crowd at the Colosseum, for example - and there is some wonderful attention to detail in thearchitecture and the engineering. But he also succeeds in capturing the humanity of the city and has a great eye for the quirky minutiae of daily life A well-researched reference work with a sizeable glossary and index, Rome is a witty and brilliantly illustrated book, pitched at the 9-12 year old,but destined to bring the ancient city to life for a wide range of readers.''[From a review in The School Librarian]

II y a des milliards d''années, l''explosion d''étoiles a donné naissance à l''or. Un morceau d''or, extrait des déserts de l''Egypte, va devenir le masque funéraire d''un pharaon. La tombe royale sera profanée, le masque volé, l''or fondu. Ainsi, au fil des siècles, cet or change sans cesse de formes et de mains. Il nous entraîne à travers le monde, des civilisations anciennes à New York aujourd''hui, au temps des empereurs romains, des enlumineurs du Moyen Age ou des capitaines corsaires du XVIe siècle... Une aventure, un récit simple et captivant, les illustrations somptueuses de Stephen Biesty, pour parcourir avec curiosité tout un panorama historique.
