Back when they were students, just like everybody else, Ray Ash and Simon Darcourt had dreams about what they`d do when they grew up. In both their cases, it was to be rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast, and just like everybody else, they`re having to accept the less glamorous hands reality has dealt them. Nervous new father Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody has to find their own way of coping. For some it`s affairs, for others it`s the bottle, and for Simon it`s serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.

Stephen Hawking`s worldwide bestseller, "A Brief History of Time", has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author`s engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book`s most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for "A Briefer History of Time": its author`s wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and this book is literally...
Rock and Roll was born in 1956. In that year, Elvis released "Heartbreak Hotel;" Chuck Berry sang "Roll Over Beethoven;" Little Richard blurred the boundary with "Tutti Fruitti;" Janis Martin sang for women with "Drugstore Rock and Roll;" while pop music hit the big screen with "Rock Around the Clock." In one year the youth quake went overground. Music journalist Nick Johnstone charts the events of this turning point and the origins of rock and roll, showing how the DNA fused in that one burst of creativity persisted for the next 50 years.

A second short story collection from Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat and Peaches for Monsieur le Cure. `Stories are like Russian dolls; open them up, and in each one you`ll find another story`. Conjured from a wickedly imaginative pen, here is a new collection of short stories that showcases Joanne Harris`s exceptional storytelling art. Sensuous, wicked, mischievous, uproarious and wry, here are tales that combine the everyday with the unexpected; wild fantasy with bittersweet reality. From the house where it is Christmas all year round, to a ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline; from the Congo where a young girl braves the raging rapids to earn a crust of bread, to Norse gods battling for survival in Manhattan; and a newborn baby...
As snapshots through time, Olympic posters provide a fascinating record of our world, a lens through which we can explore links between sports and art, politics and place, commerce and culture. "A Century of Olympic Posters" offers an intensely visual representation of the modern Games, and shows the evolution of the Olympic Games poster as well, from the first official poster for Stockholm in 1912 right up to the present. This diverse range of images includes official posters for the Summer and Winter Games set in their historical context, and linked to pervading themes such as politics, commerce, the Olympic symbols, cultural and physical diversity, and urban regeneration.

`What was merry Christmas to Scrooge? Out upon merry Christmas! What good had it ever done to him?` Ebenezer Scrooge is a bad-tempered skinflint who hates Christmas and all it stands for, but a ghostly visitor foretells three apparitions who will thaw Scrooge`s frozen heart. "A Christmas Carol" has gripped the public imagination since it was first published in 1843, and it is now as much a part of Christmas as mistletoe or plum pudding. This edition reprints the story alongside Dickens`s four other Christmas Books: "The Chimes", "The Cricket on the Hearth", "The Battle of Life", and "The Haunted Man". All five stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire,...

Let`s face it. Hearing people talk about Shakespeare can be pretty annoying. Particularly if you feel like you don`t understand him. When people talk about which of Shakespeare`s plays they like best, or what they thought of so-and-so`s performance, they often treat Shakespeare like membership in some exclusive club. If you don`t get him, if you don`t go to see his plays, you`re not truly educated or literate. You might be tempted to ask whether the millions of people who say they love Shakespeare actually know what they`re talking about, or are they just sheep? No Fear Shakespeare: A Companion gives you the straight scoop on everything you really need to know about Shakespeare, including: What`s so great about Shakespeare? How did...
