From greed to glasnost, the 80s were the decade when brash was beautiful and the only sin was not to win. Madonna declared there was nothing wrong with being a Material Girl and Cindy Lauper spoke for all girls who just wanted to have fun. Did we say, Girls? Yes, the word took on new self-empowering meanings. At the same time Princess Diana went from shy schoolteacher to worlds most famous woman to thoroughly modern mom as her marriage slid from fairy tale to farce. In the lavishly illustrated keepsake, youll relive all the highs and woes of a decade that mad Bill Cosby the king of prime-time, the Berlin Wall a pile of rubble, cable TV and the fax machine ubiquitous and two otherworldly characters world famous? Michael Jackson, he of the white glove, and ET, phoning home across the cosmos.

Practical Advice and Beautiful Ideas for Creating Flower-Filled Rooms

"When you bring flowers into your home and your life, you surround your family and friends with natural beauty that creates a climate of well-being and continuity." Barbara Milo Ohrbach, author of nine books, including the best-selling The Scented Room, now celebrates the joy of flowers in her gorgeously photographed new book, Simply Flowers. Ms. Ohrbach brings her creative approach and exquisite taste to arranging fresh flowers, providing all the basics you will need to effortlessly decorate and beautify your home with flowers, from simple country baskets spilling with vibrant wild flowers to stylish arrangements of carefully chosen blossoms. Filled with practical advice and innovative ideas, including handy lists of botanicals, Simply Flowers is a very personal and imaginative book that takes the mystery out of flower arranging, making it easy and enjoyable. Ms. Ohrbach offers important tips on selecting and cutting flowers, and how to keep them looking fresh and beautiful for as long as possible; choosing the proper vase to complement your bouquet; finding the perfect place for your flowers; clever ways of mixing fruits and vegetables with botanicals; and simple arrangements that are especially quick to make when you're pressed for time. She discusses forcing bulbs and branches; using silk flowers and house plants; and ways to use ribbons and fabrics that will turn your flowers into charming and welcome gifts. Readers with green thumbs (and even those without) will find helpful suggestions for planning their own cutting gardens or window boxes. And for anyone who likes to entertain, there are easy ideas for inventive table decorations. At the end of her book, Ms. Ohrbach shares the sources she has relied on over the years for cut flowers and arrangements, books on flowers and gardening, and catalogues for bulbs, seeds, plants, and tools and accessories. Whether you're a practiced hand at flower arranging, new to the art, or someone who just has a passion for flower-filled rooms, Simply Flowers will be a perennial inspiration.

It's a blustery night and Max wants to cuddle up with a cozy story. Something about cats would suit him. But his big sister, Ellery, has other ideas, and she decides to delve into the deliciously wicked story of the pirate Jose Gaspar. Together, Max and Ellery venture into Gaspar's creepy world, and Max doesn't like it one bit--until he sneaks up behind Ellery and scares her into slamming the book shut! This hilarious and spooky book illustrates two of life's important lessons: never pick on your sensitive little brother, and always choose a nice story about cats when you're home alone.

The Beginning brings an incredible story to life: the most astonishing history of the Universe. It is the story of who we are, where we are, and how we came to be here. It is the story of life itself. Beautifully illustrated throughout, and containing a wealth of factual information to complement extraordinary narrative, The Beginning will take you on a journey of wonder: from alien landscapes to "upside-down" continents, violent collisions, and mass extinction; from worms with jaws and pigs as big as men to saber-toothed cats and monstrous dinosaurs. A time when humans were the victims, not masters, of their world. Encounter history as you have never experienced it before. Book jacket.
