In 1940, as Britain braced for war, a group of poor London girls were dispatched to a children's home in Ascot to escape the merciless Luftwaffe bombing. At Englemere Wood they came under the care of the formidable but kindly Matron Doris Bailey - the Angel of Englemere - who cherished each girl as her own.  Through first-hand accounts from the surviving girls, their stories and anecdotes shed light on life at the time - from the emotional upheaval of evacuation to adventures on the royal grounds of their new home - and the work of a woman who helped save a generation.  Product Information: • ISBN: 9781405976510 • Author: Karen Farrington • Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd • Format: Paperback • Pages: 352 • Dimensions: 19.6 x 12.8 x 2.2cm

The universe encompasses everything we were, are and will be, everything we knew, know and can know.  When we decide to understand the universe as a whole, new truths come to light, and unexpected perspectives illuminate our take on life. Explore all the tantalising concepts, principles and theories that make up our knowledge – the Higgs particle, gluons, quarks, the multiverse, how certainty itself can be uncertain, and of course, where our world came from, and where we’re going and what will happen in the end – and it explains these astrophysical answers succinctly, each entry taking only 30 seconds to read, with further exploration flagged, and key scientists noted.  This one small book sheds light on the biggest ideas, concepts and discoveries in life, in the universe, in everything.
