Brand: Milton Bradley Company
Origin: Made in USA
Category: Abstract strategy
Number of players: 2
Suitable for: Age 10+ years
Leverage is an exciting board game of strategy with a unique action feature; it includes various weighted pieces and is built around universal laws of balance and force. Leverage has been hailed as a favorite of GAMES MAGAZINE in 4 different years.
Rules and game pieces are simple and easy to understand, yet tactics and strategy can be as sophisticated and challenging as the players themselves. Two opposing strategies (speed & sacrifice vs. conservation & mass force) provide intrigue and depth, as either may be merged into the other as the game unfolds.
Constant action potential -- Jump, capture, sacrifice, block; and, the players may rock the board at any time to see how the leverage advantage is changing.
Suspense -- The board always stabilizes at a level position until a move is made that tilts it down to rest at one end; there is no halfway tilt! When the board tilts down, scoring pegs are removed until it returns to level.
The winner is (1) the one who tilts the board down towards his opponent when the opponent has no scoring pegs left to remove, or (2) the one who moves all of his remaining playing pieces into the opposite Safety Zone while having more or an equal number of scoring pegs than his opponent.

Life's Grandeur
by Stephen Jay Gould
The Spread Of Excellence From Plato To Darwin
'Reading Gould is not merely a pleasure but an education and a chronicle of the times' - Roy Porter, Observer
In his characteristically iconoclastic and original way, Stephen Jay Gould argues that progress and increasing complexity are not inevitable features of the evolution of life on Earth. Further, if we wish to see grandeur in life, we must discard our selfish and anthropocentric view of evolution and learn to see it as Darwin did, as the random but unfathomably rich source of 'endless forms most beautiful and wonderful'. Any rational view of nature tells us that we are a simple branch on an immense bush, and that life on Earth is remarkable not for where it is leading, but for the fullness and constancy of its variety, ingenuity and diversity.
'A hard, even ruthless completion of Darwinism which is, nevertheless, exhilarating and allows for future argument' - Melvyn Bragg, Books of the Year, The Times
'Gould only enriches the texture of his writing with each successive phase... He would not be the great science writer that he is if he were not also a great humanist' - Marek Kohn, New Statesman & Society
'Gould's depth and humanity fit him for Montaigne's mantle more plausibly than anyone else currently writing... Lucid, exciting, accessible' - John Carey, Sunday Times

The story of Veteran & Vintage Cars
by Cyril Posthumus
From the earliest prototypes of the horseless carriage to the classic Vintage models of the 1920s, this book recounts the fascinating story of the growth of motoring in the years before efficient but impersonal flow-line production took over from traditional, individual craftsmanship. Motor historian Cyril Posthumus tells of the dogged perseverance of the great pioneers in the face of forbidding mechanical problems and public prejudice, and how they successfully converted the fantasy of a 'horseless carriage' into a practical means of transport.
In its first two decades the motor car remained largely the wealthy man's pleasure but the First World War resulted in a complete change of attitude. Through the services many thousands of people came in contact with motor vehicles of some sort or other, and peace brought an unprecedented demand for cars from all levels of society. The Vintage years saw an unparalleled wealth of design enterprise with cars for the millionaire and cars for the million, ranging from exquisite luxury carriages for royalty and film stars down to utilitarian 'baby' cars such as the unforgettable Austin, Seven, the Morris Minor and many others, all of which are described in this book.
The Story of Veteran and Vintage Cars is superbly illustrated with over 50 drawings by J. W. Wood and Associates, and many contemporary photographs which recapture an age of motoring long since past but for the Veteran and Vintage Car Clubs active all over the world.
