When Jimmy Page, Robert
Plant, John Paul Jones
and John Bonzo Bonham
first gathered in a
London rehearsal space in
late 1968, few could
have predicted that
within just five years
they would be piloting
the biggest band in the
world towards an almost
unprecedented level of
success. Perhaps fewer
still could have foreseen
their enduring appeal and
impact, but with a
combination of raw
talent, dogged
determination and the
fanatical support of
audiences around the
globe, Led Zeppelin
would transcend their
relatively inauspicious
beginnings to establish
themselves as one of the
most important and
influential bands in the
history of rock and roll.
Although initially guided
by Page, who had
assembled the group in
the wake of the
Yardbirds' demise, Led
Zeppelin quickly
developed a distinctive
sound that combined the
practiced musicianship of
former session musicians
Page and Jones with the
unbridled passion of
Plant and Bonham. While
rooted in the blues,
their music would fuse
elements of folk,
country, soul, funk and
reggae as well as Middle
Eastern, Asian and
African influences.
Characterized by Plant's
urgent, soulful wail,
Page's heavy riffs and
virtuoso solo work,
Jones' melodic, driving
bass and atmospheric
keyboards, and Bonham's
power and dexterity, Led
Zeppelin's music would
effectively come to
define the sound of hard
rock in the 197os ï ½
perfectly embodying a
contrast between delicacy
and weight. However,
this dynamic between
light and shade would
find a mirror in the
extreme highs and lows of
Led Zeppelin's career,
for their extreme success
would be tainted by
rumours of drug
addiction, debauchery
and even ritual magic,
whilst the band's later
years would be touched by
personal tragedy, such
as Robert Plant's serious
injury in a car accident
in 1975, the loss of his
young son just two years
later and the tragic
death of John Bonham in
1980, which finally led
to the group's decision
to disband. Through a
combination of stunning
photographs and
insightful captions,
this book chronicles the
meteoric rise to fame of
one of the world's
biggest bands, from
their roots in the
British Blues scene,
through the highs and
lows of relentless
touring, and the success
and excesses of stardom,
to assume their rightful
place in the pantheon of
rock and roll.
Furthermore, it charts
the solo projects,
collaborations and
reunions that have taken
place since Led
Zeppelin's official
demise in 1980,
including the band's
triumphant and long
awaited return to the
stage in 2007.

The harrowing true story
of a terrorised
childhood, torn apart by
violence and overcome
with courage. From the
age of 5 John was beaten,
mercilessly and
relentlessly, by his
father. After enduring
years of cruelty, John
finally snapped when he
was thirteen and
threatened his father
with a kitchen knife. His
response? He sent John to
the notorious St
Vincent's school, run by
a group of Catholic Irish
Brothers. St Vincent's
taught a very different
set of Christian
principles from love and
forgiveness. Tormented
physically and sexually
by one boy in particular,
and by the Brothers in
general, John realised
he would have to fight to
survive. Please Don't
Make Me Go tells in
heart-rending detail of
beatings, the weapons
fashioned from toilet
chains and stones, and
the loneliness - but we
also see John's
friendship with his only
protector at the school,
Father Delaney and best
friends Bernard and his
unstinting love for his
mother who continued to
suffer at the hands of
his violent father.
Please Don't Make Me Go
is the heartbreaking
story of a forgotten boy
and an example of the
resilience of the human
spirit.

Dad's Army has been an
enduring highlight of the
small screen since its
debut on British
television in 1968. The
show, which follows the
exploits of the Home
Guard of
Walmington-on-Sea, a
fictional seaside town on
the south coast of
England, ran for nine
series in total,
comprising 80 episodes,
and regularly attracted
viewing figures of over
18 million at the height
of its popularity. Today,
it is still shown weekly
on BBC 2 and was recently
placed fourth in a BBC
poll of Britain's Best
Sitcoms Ever. The show
has permeated British
society, with the
characters' signature
catchphrases
(particularly Captain
Mainwaring's 'Stupid
boy!') having entered the
lexicon of popular
culture. Such is its
appeal that in August
2008 Jonathan Ross paid
tribute to Dad's Army
with an hour-long
special, looking back on
the show's success and
reliving its funniest
moments. Yet Dad's Army
is also credited with
drawing attention to the
important role that Local
Defence Volunteers (later
known as the Home Guard)
played in the Second
World War, in guarding
coastal areas of Britain
and other important
industrial and military
sites such as factories
and explosives stores,
and in observing and
reporting enemy aircraft.
Bill Pertwee found fame
as ARP Warden Hodges in
the series and has put
together a comprehensive
tribute to all aspects of
the show. This book
includes extensive
features on the two
creators of Dad's Army,
Jimmy Perry and David
Croft, along with
biographies of the whole
cast of actors who
brought this British
comedy classic to life,
paying particular
attention to such
memorable figures as
Arthur Lowe (Captain
Mainwaring), John Le
Mesurier (Sergeant
Wilson), Clive Dunn
(Corporal Jones) and Ian
Lavender (Private Pike).
As an integral part of
the show itself, Bill
Pertwee is uniquely
positioned to give an
intimate view of his
co-stars, their families
and the supporting
production team. His
colourful account
includes many hilarious
incidents on and off the
set, such as filming for
Columbia Pictures and
being invited to tea at
10 Downing Street.
Numerous colour photos as
well as a fine selection
of well-reproduced
original stills
supplement the
informative text, and a
full episode listing is
included, together with
articles on the many
Dad's Army spin-offs and
side projects, including
the highly successful
stage play, movie
adaptation and radio

While the Bible brings

beyond its sphere of
salutary influence. The
fruits of the 'tree of

its 'leaves' are, at the

wonder that our

people hold Scripture in
such high veneration,
and excel all other
countries in their
efforts to circulate it.
No wonder that our
