| Synopsis: |
The aim of this book is to show a range of the many aircraft of all types, which have been preserved around the globe. The definition of the term 'preserved' in the context of this book is a broad one. The aircraft recorded are either in a museum, on display elsewhere, most notable as gate guardians at military bases or other facilities, or are examples kept in flying condition long after it would have been normal to retire them. The aircraft in this book can therefore either be static or still flying, as is the case with the many 'warbirds' and vintage civil light aircraft, which can be seen at airshows. |

Solar
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different.

Molotov's Magic Lantern
When Rachel Polonsky went to live in Moscow, she found an apartment block in Romanov Street. One apartment had been Vyacheslav Molotov's, Stalin's henchman. Molotov was ruthless - and an ardent bibliophile. Rachel visited cities and landscapes associated with the books in his library. In each place, she encountered the spirit of great artists such as Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova - and the terrible past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism.

Love Bites
Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed, Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one of the funniest.
