The city of Verona is second only to Rome in the antiquities that can be seen. This book aims to give the tourist an opportunity to visit and enjoy not only the few major attractions that a guided tour usually includes, but also many of the other interesting sights that many people do not see. In addition to the famous amphitheatre, cathedral and sights linked to Romeo and Juliet, you will also visit the monumental gateways, beautiful bridges, castles, fortresses, palaces, gardens, graves, remains of Roman villas and other places that show the magnificence of Verona's past. By providing five different walking routes and detailed information about each attraction passed it puts a visitor to Verona in charge of the time spent at any particular place rather than having to rush and keep up with a guide. With detailed instructions of how to get from one place to another, this book is the perfect way to experience the many wonderful things that Verona has to offer without having to join costly and rushed guided tours.

This book is not about global warming and whether it is taking place or not, how fast it is and what effects it will have. Nor is it about population growth. Nor is it about running out of effective vaccines and antibiotics. Those issues, in isolation, are covered in great depth by many other sources. This book brings the three together, considering the possibility of the triad becoming critical at the same time.Experts disagree on exact dates, but the most likely period this triad will happen to us is some time between 2030 and 2040 if we are lucky, a little earlier if not. If... or when this three-fold tipping point occurs, there will be only a short period before a major collapse in global population, a humanitarian disaster on a scale of unprecedented magnitude.This book is not designed to scare or frighten the reader, but to help them consider the true risk of this upcoming catastrophe. After explaining the triad, it then details a powerful solution available to us with current technology: the Global Bio-Active Carbon Sink.

Another collection of strange conversations about oddly specific subjects from the hand of Scott Tierney. What would an Orlando Bloom cake taste like? Would Bruce Willis spit in Leeloo's face? Who cleans up the Starship Enterprise's Holodeck once you are finished? These and other similarly pressing issues will be rigorously discussed.Pointless Conversations: The Expendables.In the fourth issue of the comic series all about the pointless, it's offbeat film references aplenty, with Robin Hood, The Expendables, and some surreal cake talk (not just any cake talk...SURREAL CAKE TALK!...yeah...). Loud explosions and incoherent old men...a better title for The Expendables? Was the King of England a lion? Maid Marion a child killer?...yes! What would an Orlando Bloom cake taste like? * * * Pointless Conversations: The Fifth Element In the fifth issue of the comic series all about the pointless, the film and cartoon related topics for (not very) serious discussion are Batman button mashing, the Queen atop a robotic polar bear, and of course the insanity which is The Fifth Element. Batman button mashing...does every switch in the Batmobile do the same thing? Captain Planet gets taken down a peg! The Queen on the back of a robotic polar bear? Would Bruce Willis spit in Leeloo's face? * * * Pointless Conversations: The Big One: It's the question that has dogged scholars for a millennia....what actually happens when you take a poo on the Star Trek Enterprise's holodeck? In the sixth issue of the comic series all about the pointless, it the one that got everyone talking - the Star Trek special!: Why is there a 'P' in pterodactyl? Who cleans the Holdeck once you're finished? If you eat holo-food, would you do a holo-poo? Would you drink Odo? *Disclaimer* This issue is rather immature, and if you are easily offended by "rectal forcefields" and "poo quiche" (not to mention an almost infinite number of "poo"s) then this issue isn't really for you...but if you do find these funny, then you are in for a real treat!
