Find out the facts!

I write information books. Most of them are for children and teenagers, but some are for adults too. You will find my books in homes, schools and libraries around the world. Do you want to find out about treasure or shipwrecks or castles? What was it really like to live in Pompeii, to look through Galileo’s telescope or sail the southern oceans with Captain Cook? Do you want to find out about distant lands and the people who live there, or discover the wonders of the natural world? Perhaps you are interested in the way our society works, or in debating the big issues that are in the news. Read, ask questions – and have fun.

Click on the sidebar topics to find out my past and present published titles. You will find topic books, atlases, encyclopaedias, guide books and biographies. You may even find books that pop up, fold out, light up or make noises! All of these books have exciting and colourful illustrations. The more recent publications will still be in print, available from your local bookshop, from online retailers and some book clubs. Many titles are available in overseas (non-UK) editions. Less recent titles may still be found in libraries and are reissued in new formats from time to time. To purchase those books currently available on Amazon UK, just click on the Amazon link next to the title. Many older titles may still be available second hand at http://www.abebooks.co.uk/. Books published by Llyfrau Magma can be ordered online from http://www.llyfrau-magma.co.uk/.




  What's in the news?

Publications from Wayland in August and November 2011 include three challenging and fascinating new titles for young people prepared to tackle some of the real stories behind the news. All three books try to unpick some of the complexities of international crises by looking at the historical roots, at questions of politics, diplomacy, military intervention,  ethics, culture, religion, protest and media coverage. Their aim is to spark off classroom discussion and to encourage young people to think about common humanity and conflict resolution.
