Unseen Academicals |
$55.00 |

Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go gloing when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else.
The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too). As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever.
Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.

From xylophones to your favourite type of sausages, the theory of economics affects everything you do. And yet how much, if anything, have you told to your children?
This book sets out to explain "the dismal science" in a way that kids between the ages of four and six can really understand. It answers all the hard questions: What is counting? What is money? Why is it wrong to be poor? Why are rich people so alluring and wonderful?
Starting with simple matrix algebra, your child is led painlessly through complex numbers and Fourier transforms, and eventually to abstract economic concepts such as wood and concrete -- opening up a pedagogical window into the fascinating world of reserve banking in New Zealand.
Now, at last, you can find out what wealthy parents have been secretly telling their children for years! |
