Hello, reader. My name is Docter* Noel Zone and I am a Dangerologist. I used to work as a swimming-pool lifeguard. Until I realized what actually makes swimming pools dangerous: Water! So I got rid of all the water. What is the point of this Book? That is a good question. Good questioning! To remind you that Danger is Everywhere To make you into a qualified Dangerologist (Level1) I've braved every everyday danger so you don't have to . . . * I gave myself the first name Docter so I could concentrate all of my energy on being a Dangerologist. It saved a lot of time and hardly anyone notices the spelling. www.dangeriseverywhere.co.uk

In this humorous handbook, Dr. Noel Zone, the world's only Dangerologist, navigates chaos after a mishap with his DANGER MOBILE.

Targeted at reluctant readers aged 7 and up, this series promises laughter and engaging stories that captivate young audiences.

A pioneer in the new-wave Irish food movement, Michelle Darmody opened the doors of The Cake Café in 2006 - a small bakery and café, tucked away in Dublin's south side. With her love of great food and great design, The Cake Café Bake Book combines the two in a beautiful compact publication about baking, filled with deliciously vibrant illustrations, tactile and informative about the love of preparing food. The baking in the book focuses on all things cake, from tray bakes to buns, biscuits to jam tarts, and of course plenty of 'cake cakes' proper. It features a section on icings and fillings, together with much practical information, diagrams, equipment and ingredient advice, and even how to make your own vanilla extract with a bottle of vodka and vanilla pods. The Café has become a neighbourhood staple with an international reputation, a place that is embedded in the conscience of the customers, and is as much a part of the city as the Forty Foot or Busáras. So much so that one of the regular customers - comedian David O'Doherty - has written the foreword to the book. Specializing in good quality home baking with contemporary attitude, rather than fancy, intricate cakes, all of the recipes in the book are ones used in the Café on a day-to-day basis.

But any POD (Pupil of Dangerology) knows that schools are full of danger in the classrooms, in the lunchroom, and most definitely in the gymnasium. Thank goodness readers have a professional on their side! With art on every page, silly acronyms, and recurring characters, this follow-up to Danger Is Everywhere and Danger Is Still Everywhere will have readers laughing their heads off--and ready to go back to school!

V tretej časti HROZBOLÓGIE rýchlo zistíte, že HROZBY SÚ FAKT VŠADE OKOLO NÁS. A navyše ešte aj to, že dosiahnuť vyššiu hrozbologickú úroveň nie je vôbec ľahké. Drocent Leon Neón o tom jednoducho musel napísať ďalšiu príručku, a ako už naznačil v prvých dvoch častiach, medzi naozaj, ale fakt naozaj najnebezpečnejšie a najhoršie miesta na celom svete patrí ŠKOLA. Že to ste už vedeli? No určite ste netušili, že Leon sa nešťastnou náhodou stane zamestnancom školy. Žeby sa aj hrozbológ mohol stať súčasťou niečoho takého hrôzostrašného?! Hrozby tam striehnu nielen v triedach, jedálni či telocvični. Sú všade okolo! Je dobré mať poruke odborníka! Knihu plnú hrozieb a desov by si mal povinne prečítať každý. Je v nej toľko obrázkov, že ju ocení i ten najlenivejší čitateľ. Aj tí predsa potrebujú vedieť, ako sa vyhnúť všetkým hrôzam a nebezpečenstvám a prežiť v hrôzostrašnej džungli dnešného sveta. Alebo ešte niečo horšie – V ŠKOLE!!!
