Fred Dibnah's World" celebrates the life & work of Britain's best known steeplejack & national treasure Fred Dibnhah. Before his death in 2004 Fred presented many popular series including " Magnificent Monuments" " The Age of Steam" & " Made in Britain" all of which attracted viewers in their millions. " Fred" is the companion to the 12-part "BBC2" series celebrating the life of this great man which combines highlights from some of Dibnah's classic programmes with previously unseen footage. The book can of course go much further than the series including an extraordinarily account of Fred's childhood which evokes a lost England & our great industrial heritage. Fred's passion for the glories of the Victorian age & his fascination with the landscape he grew up in plus his admiration for the craftsmen & labourers who made it all possible captivate us on every page. Fred is the personification of everything that made England great in the first place. & this is a glorious tribute to a man whom millions came to love." ...

The partnership between Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers which was born & reached its peak in the Hollywood musical of the 1930s is one of the most enduringly popular ever to have graced the cinema screen. This important new study explores the series of seven films
- from The Gay Divorcee " in 1934 to " Carefree" in 1938
- that represent the quintessential Fred & Ginger. Astaire & Rogers are most renowned for their peerless dance duets but these constitute only a small proportion of the time they appeared on screen together. Their skills as performers & their remarkable rapport are equally apparent in their acting & singing & in Fred & Ginger Hannah Hyam analyses all three aspects of their partnership in depth illuminating the qualities that give it such timeless appeal. Distinguishing the seven Fred & Ginger films from the three others that Astaire & Rogers made together the book defines their characteristic features & assesses their relative merits before going on to examine in detail the romantic partnership between Fred & Ginger as pursued in dialogue song & dance throughout the series. Generously illustrated with choice black & white stills Fred & Ginger will be welcomed not only by Astaire-Rogers enthusiasts & students of the genre but by all lovers of film & of true artistry in music & dance."

Freaks Geeks And Asperger Syndrome

Have you ever been called a freak or a geek? Have you ever felt like one? Luke Jackson is 13 years old and has Asperger Syndrome. Over the years Luke has learned to laugh at such names but there are other aspects of life which are more difficult. Adolescence and the teenage years are a minefield of emotions transitions and decisions and when a child has Asperger Syndrome the result is often explosive. Luke writes briefly about his younger autistic and AD/HD brothers providing amusing insights into the antics of his younger years and advice for parents carers and teachers of younger AS children. However his main reason for writing was because so many books are written about us but none are written directly to adolescents with Asperger Syndrome. I thought I would write one in the hope that
we could all learn together"."
