Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know what we know. We know that one plus one will always equal two. That what goes up must inevitably come down. That each day, from the east, the sun will without exception rise and that, later in the same day, it is then destined to set in the west, crossing the horizon to repeat its endless cycle anew. We know that despite the sun’s setting, the only monsters to lurk in the night are those conjured by our own imaginations or anxieties. But what happens when what we know comes into conflict with the reality standing in front of us? When the Boogieman no longer stalks in the nightmares of children, but among the streets and sanctuaries of all humankind? What depths would a man sink to in order to confront such a reality? And, perhaps, most terrifying of all…what is a man willing to become, in order to fight back?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Amazing . . . A must-have must-read bible for lovers of toy history and in particular toy soldiers. Absolutely glorious!” —Books Monthly Humans have made and collected toy soldiers from time immemorial. They amuse and comfort us, awaken our curiosity, turn aggressiveness into creativity. In The History of Toy Soldiers, Luigi Toiati, himself an avid collector and manufacturer of toy soldiers, conveys and shares the pleasure of collecting and playing with them. Far from a dry encyclopedia, it leads the reader through the fascinating evolution of the toy soldier from ancient times to the early twenty-first century. The author, as a sociologist with an interest in semiotics (the study of signs), offers truly original insights into why different types of toy soldiers were born in a given period and country, or why in a given size and material. The author’s writing is packed with factual detail about the different types of toy (and model) soldiers and their manufacturers, but also with anecdotes, nostalgia, wit and his enduring passion for the subject. Six hundred beautiful color photographs, many depicting the author’s own collection, complete this delightful book. “Toiati creatively delivers exhaustive details, captivating anecdotes and a sense of nostalgia that exudes the fundamental childhood joy of playing with toy soldiers combined with adult collectors’ wonderment at their charms.” —Toy Soldier & Model Figure “A book that will enter the annals of Toy Soldier collections as one of the best and most complete books on this topic.” —IPMS/USA “A great journey of exploration.” —Miniature Wargaming
