Is the way you think like the colour of your eyes - something you are born with and cannot alter? Or is thinking a skill that can be improved with practice, like swimming, tennis or cooking? In this provocative book, which has already sold over 90,000 copies, Edward de Bono demonstrates how the techniques of thinking can be enhanced and improved through attention, practice and the use of simple tools, such as lateral thinking, CAF (Consider All Factors) and AGO (Aims, Goals and Objectives). He shows that the operating skill of thinking is, in fact, quite different from intelligence and reveals how many intelligent people are actually bad thinkers because they are caught in the 'intelligence trap'. Each part of this fully revised and updated fourth edition covers an important...

For nearly two thousand years after the last pharaoh ruled Egypt the wonders of this ancient culture remained hidden, seemingly lost and forgotten for ever. Then, in the late eighteenth century, Napoleon's invasion of the country sparked an explosion of interest in ancient Egypt that burns as strongly today as ever. The obsession with anything and everything Egyptian has inspired many to dedicate their lives to the search for treasure in Egypt's sands.

All of these explorers, collectors and archaeologists can be loosely classified as 'Egyptologists' and this relatively new science has been blessed with more than its fair share of intriguing characters, some of whom, by virtue of their larger-than-life personalities, curious habits or spectacular finds, have come to...
