Bøker av Kate Jackson

A study of George Newnes and journalism in Britain between 1880 and 1910. The essays are divided into three sections covering: the new journalism - a liberal profession or a branch of business?; liberalism and imperialism; and specialization and diversification - targeting niche audiences.

In these pages lie the clues you will need to crack the most impenetrable of cases. Culprits lurk between the lines of word searches. Imposters are unearthed in anagrams. A keen eye and a quick wit are your best tools for eliminating the suspects in a range of puzzles, suitable for all ages and levels.

In 2005 Jackson ventured into the remote swamp forests of the Congo to collect reptiles and amphibians. This book is an account of her research on the front lines of the biodiversity crisis-coping with endless delays in obtaining permits, learning to outrun army ants, subsisting on Spam and manioc, and ultimately falling in love with the forest.
