An Encyclopaedia of North-East England by Richard A. Lomas, Best of British Book
An Encyclopaedia Of North-East
England By Richard A. Lomas,
Best Of British Book
    The North-East of England
    is a highly distinctive
    region of the United
    Kingdom, markedly
    different in history,
    tradition and culture
    from its bordering
    regions of Yorkshire,
    Cumbria and Scotland. It
    was a centre of spiritual
    and cultural excellence
    and leadership during the
    Dark Ages, and more
    recently it has been one
    of the world's most
    dynamic and innovative
    industrial complexes. It
    was equally distinctive
    in being an international
    and subsequently national
    frontier region, which
    profoundly affected its
    life during and after the
    long Anglo-Scottish war.
    Since the eighteenth
    century, much has been
    written about the
    North-East, but this
    encyclopaedia is the
    first attempt at a
    comprehensive compendium
    covering all aspects,
    and over an extended
    period. It covers an
    eclectic range of people,
    from saints to comedians
    and families who had an
    important influence on
    the region; places, from
    major cities to villages;
    the industries that made
    the region famous;
    products invented or
    developed in the region;
    events of national or
    international
    significance; and,
    institutions that were
    founded in the region.
    This book will be a
    valuable and widely
    consulted work of
    reference for all those
    interested in North-East
    England. The size of this
    book is 23.4cm in height
    and 16.5cm wide with 531

Michael Caine The Elephant To Hollywood
Michael Caine The Elephant To
Hollywood
    Itï ½s been a long
    journey for Maurice
    Micklewhite ï ½ born with
    rickets in Londonï ½s
    poverty-stricken Elephant
    & Castle ï ½ to the
    bright lights of
    Hollywood. With a
    glittering career
    spanning more that five
    decades and staring roles
    that have earned him two
    Oscars, a knighthood,
    and an iconic place in
    the Hollywood pantheon,
    the man now known to us
    as Michael Caine looks
    back over it all. Funny,
    warm and honest, Caine
    give us his insiderï ½s
    view of Hollywood (where
    thereï ½s neither holly
    nor woods). He recalls
    the films, the legendary
    stars, and the
    off-screen moments with a
    gift for story-telling
    only equalled by David
    Niven. Hollywood has
    been his home and his
    playground. But England
    is where his heart lies,
    and where he blames the
    French for the abundance
    of snails in his
    garden. A plaque now
    celebrates him at the
    Elephant in London and
    his handprint is one of
    only 200 since 1927 to
    decorate the hallowed
    pavement outside that
    mecca of Hollywood stars,
    Graumanï ½s Chinese
    Theatre. A very British
    star, The Elephant to
    Hollywood is the
    remarkable full circle of
    Michael Caineï ½s life.

Make A Wish Sky Lantern White
Make A Wish Sky Lantern White
    Sky Lanterns originate
    from China, where they
    were known as 'Kong Ming
    Deng', named after the
    leader of the three
    kingdom period of China
    (184AD-280AD). Surrounded
    by enemies, he watched
    the wind direction and
    used these lanterns to
    signal for help. The
    lanterns were later
    adopted by locals who
    used them to convey their
    wishes to the heavens. It
    is considered good luck
    to release a sky lantern
    symbolizing the release
    of your problems and

The Diamond Queen - Elizabeth and Her People by Andrew Marr
The Diamond Queen - Elizabeth
And Her People By Andrew Marr
    As Elizabeth II
    celebrates her Diamond
    Jubilee, Andrew Marr
    offers a vivid account
    not only of the Queen,
    but also of the country
    over which she has
    reigned for six decades.
    Turning his attention to
    the monarch - and to the
    monarchy, chronicling
    the Queen's pivotal role
    at the centre of the
    state, which is largely
    hidden from public gaze
    and making a strong case
    for the institution
    itself. Thematically
    arranged, rather than
    chronologically, Marr
    dissects the Queen's
    political relationships,
    crucially those with her
    prime ministers; examing
    her role as Head of the
    Commonwealth of Nations;
    he looks at what the
    Queen actually does -
    from opening hospitals to
    meetings with visiting
    heads of state and other
    dignitaries - and looks
    at why she spends 3 hours
    every night reading the
    contents of the red boxes
    sent over from Downing
    Street. Marr also looks
    at the drastic changes in
    the media since her
    accession in 1952 and how
    the monarchy - and the
    monarch - have had to
    change and adapt as a
    result. indeed, he
    argues that under her
    watchful eye, the
    monarchy has been
    thoroughly modernized and
    made as for for purpose
    in the 21st century as it
    was when she came to the
    throne and a 'new
    Elizabethan age' was
    ushered in.

Design in Britain: Big Ideas
Design In Britain: Big Ideas
    This is a unique moment
    for British design. The
    generation which shaped
    the emergence of design
    in the post war years,
    from Robin Day and
    Kenneth Grange to Terence
    Conran, is still active
    at the same time as young
    designers born half a
    century later are coming
    to prominence with
    innovative explorations
    of the implications for
    design of a very
    different technological
    and social climate.
    Design in Britain
    discusses the major
    figures that have led the
    way and those who have
    turned it on its head.
    Divided by subject
    matter, chapters
    include: Architecture -
    how the shape of
    commercial rebuilding has
    evolved in Britain;
    Identity - how the logos
    and marks measure out the
    history of Britain; After
    the Object - the
    web-based expansion of
    the definition of what
    constitutes design;
    Fashion - a measured
    account of the ideas and
    the reality behind
    British fashion; Graphic
    Design - an account of
    the successive creative
    waves of graphic design
    in Britain; Furniture
    Design - a view of what
    it is that has made
    British design special
    from the outside;
    Industrial Design - a
    critical response to the
    interaction between
    design in the commercial
    sense, and in the
    cultural sphere, and,
    Car Design - how Britain
    is building more cars
    than ever, but in
    foreign owned factories.
    With each chapter written
    by an international
    expert in that field,
    this really is the most
    comprehensive account of
    what it is that has given
    Britain a special place
    in design.
