A travel guide as well as a historical text; this volume looks at castles not just as ruined buildings; but as part of the cultural and scenic landscape. The 88 photographs illustrate the different architectural concepts and castle features discussed in the text. The book includes glossaries of terminology; an appendix listing all the castles mentioned and their locations; notes; bibliography and index.

Penguins as teachers ROCKBy LizI Love penguins and of course want to learn all I can about them. Now with this book. I can learn from them. It has very beautiful pictures and great "life lessons" This is a fun book to read when you have a few minutes or are having a bad day. Penguins remind us what life is about and show us to keep it simple. A great book!
