The Napoleonic Wars DVD
3 of 3 found this helpful This is a good DVD but it is not so informed as the earlier Waterloo one. Although this gets Napoleon's rise and fall, it does not include the peninsula War which would give the whole Napoleonic war in one DVD. It is not the best and the music discracts from the information. I feel the books would be better for information but as a general information tool, it is OK and if you want the 1812 Russian campaigne then this will suit your taste.
I would recommend it but you may not be filled with joy if you want all the information.

Great Ice Cream Maker and easy to use.
This is a great ice cream maker and when it did pack up, I sent it off and it was replaced with a new machine. It is easy to use and all you do is put the ice cream custard in the machine at room temperature and it makes the ice cream. The only problem is that if you see the ice cream is stiff and you have 5 mins or less you can't decrease the time. After an hour it keeps it cool if you are not around. I found that if it has made the ice cream, I just turn it off. It has an easy to remove bucket and you get a free scoop to put the ice cream into a container. Sometimes it is soft and easy and other times a bit stiff. I have been making ice cream (first by hand then by the freezer pots and now by this machine) for years and this is a really good item. I have tried some of the recipes that you get with the machine but I use it for my own ice cream that I make with my own recipes. The only bad side that I can see is that it takes about an hour each time you use it rather than 40 mins or 30 mins that I am used to but having said that, it is easy to clean and the paddle is very different in it's design. I have not got a full 2 ltrs out of it yet but I have had a ltr and two bowls full. All in all and despite the problems with the first machine. I do like it and how it runs. It is good that I don't have to make room in the freezer anymore other than putting in ice cream.

Maps and Information all in one book.
The book is a great background to the various Napoleonic books around but also has maps that cover the period from 1789 to 1815 but also includes the Emperor’s house in St Helena in 1819. The Introduction gives the headlines and basic information that are helpful and has portraits of Ney, Blucher and Napoleon. There is a map of India in 1797 to go with Wellington's background and a Facsimile of the Waterloo Medal and Certificate and a photo of a French soldier in the 20th Century.
There is then an assortment of maps including The Bastille in 1789, France 1790 and maps of the naval battles. Then there's the battlefields of various sites some good and some not so good. The Antwerp Fortifications are very good and have great detail as do the Copenhagen city plan dated September 1807.
The Canadian and USA maps are interesting but not really helpful as are the European maps but it is very interesting to see maps of the period. The map of New Orleans in 1815 does not really have any detail other than a tourist map. I did like the map of Elba in 1814 but it is not like a map of today so has hills and the main port. The Waterloo Maps one by W.B. Craan in 1816 and the other by A.K Johnston show the difference in detail as do the sketches by various captains of the period.
These maps and the background information are not up to the modern map maker but is a valuable look at how our ancestors looked at maps. It is well worth buying for a historical perspective and is a great read and you can spend hours looking at it.
I wanted to buy a book with Napoleonic maps to cover national boundaries including battles and campaigns and I was not disappointed. I even got a bonus or two giving a total of about 92 maps which people may find interesting but not all the maps will be useful to them. Out of the 92, I found 24 very interesting and 24 the kind of information I was looking for but some were OK to look at but not that much.
