| Synopsis: |
This is a fascinating reference guide to 100 spectacular marvels ranging from sculptures to skyscrapers, towers to tunnels and bridges to bullet trains. This new volume is the latest in AA Publishing's range of highly illustrated family reference books. "100 Modern Marvels" contains encyclopedic entries on one hundred of the world's greatest modern bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels and structures from the biomes of England's Eden Project to China's massive engineering project, the Three Gorges Dam. Entries include New York's Third Water Tunnel, the opulent Burj al Arab Hotel in Dubai and the beautiful Millau Viaduct in France. Each entry is illustrated with at least two beautiful colour photographs, describing the marvel, putting it into context, and giving facts and statistics on the structure, while informative text gives an insight into a particular aspect of the marvel such as a biography of the architect or the building's spiritual significance. This is a fantastic reference title, ideal as a gift or pride of place on anyone's coffee table. |

The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton
Evie Hamilton is the wife of Ant and mother of Anna, and her biggest worry in life is whether or not she can fit a manicure in on her way to fetch Anna from clarinet lessons. She doesn't think about much else outside her own, charmed circle. There simply isn't time. But all that is about to change.

Home
Julie Andrews has never before revealed the true story of her childhood and upbringing. In HOME she vividly recreates the years before the movies. The family moved to London, and there are vivid scenes of life during the Blitz. Her stepfather encouraged her to have singing lessons. By the time she was a teenager, she was supporting her whole family with her singing. A London Palladium pantomime led to a leading role in THE BOYFRIEND on Broadway at 19. Parts in MY FAIR LADY opposite Rex Harrison and CAMELOT with Richard Burton soon followed. HOME is an honest, touching and revealing memoir of the early life of a true icon.
