History and Landscape: The Guide to National Trust Properties in England, Wales and Northern Ireland	Anova Books
Автор: Lydia Greeves Издательство: Anova Books, 2006	PDF, 464 страницы, 13.92 МБ 0 Оценка:
The Guide has been described as the National Trust's bible — and indeed it is. This latest edition takes a larger, squarer format, to do full justice to the Trust's illustrious collection of colour photographs, and to showcase recent acquisitions such as the Gothic wonder of Tyntesfield, John Lennon's childhood home Mendips, and William Morris' Arts and Crafts Red House. Magnificent landscapes, including the breathtaking coast of Cornwall, Snowdonia, the Peak District, and the lunar scenery of Stragford Lough, are set beside the Trust's great gardens such as Sissinghurst Castle in Kent and Stourhead Landscape Garden in Wiltshire. The Trust's country houses of course feature in all their varied beauty — from the Tudor splendour of Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire through to the magnificent Victoriana at Cragside in Northumberland. Not everything is on such a grand scale; Lydia Greeves describes T.E. Lawrence's modest cottage at Clouds Hill in Dorset, a spade mill in Northern Ireland and even a duck decoy at Boarstall in Buckinghamshire.

The History of Seafaring	Anova Books
Автор: Donald Johnson Издательство: Anova Books, 2007	PDF, 344 страницы, 10.32 МБ 0 Оценка:
This is a large format, meticulously researched, lavishly illustrated and fully international history of mankind's seaborne voyages from the Phoenicians and Chinese to modern navies and round-the-world sailing yachts. Royal prestige, intellectual curiosity, commerce and territorial expansion all propelled mankind to make perilous voyages across unpredictable oceans to find out what lay beyond the horizon, and the art of navigation allowed them to do so. From initial conjecture and philosophical reason, man ventured forth to glean first-hand information of the seas by exploration and scientific investigation. Author Donald Johnson pieces together the advances in astronomy, navigation, shipbuilding and surveying through the ages to tell the fascinating and absorbing history of navigation and exploration in an elegant volume that is beautifully illustrated with manuscripts and rutters, portolans and sea charts, ship's instruments and artefacts. The meticulous research, based on original sources, has brought to light a lot of new information, which in some cases contradicts popular held beliefs. Certain navigational instruments have been tested in real circumstances, such as the Viking instrument for determining a ship's course to enable us to fully understand how people crossed vast, limitless oceans. The book opens with the basic questions and challenges of navigation. Part 2 unravels the development of science and seafaring from the ancient times to the Mediterranean era. This created a basis for longer sailings, which are at the heart of Part 3 and in Part 4 the book ends with the advanced technology that made it possible to determine a ship's exact position at sea.

Lady Cottington Pressed Fairy Book (+ DVD)	Anova Books
Автор: Terry Jones Издательство: Anova Books, 2005	PDF, 72 страницы, 2.16 МБ 5 Оценка:
This book claims to be the facsimile edition of the notebook of Lady Angelica Cottington, who, it is said, took the infamous photograph of a group of fairies that was authenticated by Conan Doyle, but later discredited. Lady Cottington was determined to prove the existence of fairies, and began to capture them between the pages of her notebook, in which she had previously pressed wild flowers. In the introduction to the book, it is explained that one of Lady Cottington's notebooks was recently discovered, intact and in good condition, and has been reproduced complete with biographical information about the near-reclusive Lady Cottington, and a photograph of her holding the original book between the pages of which so many fairies, goblins, pixies and elves were unceremoniously flattened and preserved for ever. What Lady Cottington did not realise was that the actual fairies were unharmed; as they are made of astral matter, only their psychic images remained on the pages and the fairies grew to enjoy the game, leaping between the closing pages in an effort to outdo each other to produce the most imaginative and (it has to be said) outrageous poses. This is a hilarious, imaginative and highly creative record of the fairies caught by Lady Cottington, and of the disruptive influence they had on her otherwise sheltered life, all of which is painstakingly recorded in her personal diary. A revised edition to include eight additional pages, a new introduction by Terry Jones and Brian Froud, new digitization and design for pages, endpapers and cover as appropriate including new pressed fairy images; a DVD and a new sticker. DVD to include previously unreleased material from the Cottington Archive: a Pressed Fairy art gallery, interviews with Brian Froud, Terry Jones and Ari Berk and 5-minute filmed interview with Lady Cottington. DVD to be produced by Imaginosis.

Fabulous Frocks	Anova Books
Автор: Sarah Gristwood Издательство: Anova Books, 2008	PDF, 200 страниц, 6.00 МБ 8 Оценка:
No item of clothing has endured for longer than the dress. Yet the last century alone has seen the most radical changes of style — hemlines swinging from ankle to thigh; outlines alternating between the body-hugging and the bell — and our fascination with the 'frock' has not gone away. From Gres’ draping to Dior’s New Look, from Mary Quant’s mini to Hussein Chalayan’s mechanical marvels, this book looks at the dress in twentieth century fashion. Thematic chapters (Changes, Feminine, Sex, Must-haves, Fantasy, Classical and Art) set out the inspirations and implications for each new change alongside the stunning photography. It is more than eighty years since Coco Chanel invented the little black dress, but every woman still has one in her wardrobe today. It’s decades since women discovered trousers and separates, but every woman dreams of wearing a glorious, glamorous gown at least once, whether it’s on a Hollywood red carpet, or just on her wedding day. 'Fabulous Frocks' is a book to fire a fashionista's imagination.

How to Be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life	Anova Books
Автор: M. Hellstern Издательство: Anova Books, 2005	PDF, 208 страниц, 6.24 МБ 7 Оценка:
A beloved icon who put the 'haute' in 'couture' and found success as an actress, a mother and a humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn was an expert in the art of being a woman. The waifish star and muse of Givenchy was quite the sage as well, turning out insightful quotes on topics of concern to women the world over: careers, love lives, motherhood, relationships and ageing gracefully, among others. Writer Melissa Hellstern has spent five years collecting some of the late icon's most remarkable words in this beautifully designed and produced book filled with rare photos, behind-the-scenes stories and insights from the friends who knew Hepburn well. Enduring the challenges of womanhood – miscarriages, divorce and the balancing act of career and family – Audrey Hepburn exuded dignity and humility through her successes and failures, and women of all ages will find inspiration among these pages. More philosophy than biography, 'How to be Lovely' revisits the many interviews Audrey gave over the years, allowing us to hear her voice directly. 'How to be Lovely' uncovers the real Audrey, in her own words. Audrey Hepburn perfected the art of gracious living and is an enduring, relevant and inspiring role model for women today. She found her way into the hearts of millions who grew up wanting to be just like her.

Some Like it Hot — The Companion	Anova Books
Автор: Laurence Maslon Издательство: Anova Books, 2009	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
«Voted the Number One movie on the American Film Institute's List of 100 Funniest Movies, «Some Like It Hot» remains an undisguised movie classic, 50 years after its debut. Billy Wilder's hilarious film skilfully blends several American preoccupations — jazz, gangsters, drag, and Marilyn Monroe — into one scintillating bootleg cocktail. «The Some Like It Hot Companion» details the complete history of the comedy, from its roots as a 1951 German comedy to its Hollywood conception, where the superb Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe transposed the material to the Roaring Twenties. Included are drafts from the screenplay, casting trivia (the boys were almost Frank Sinatra and Danny Kaye), the background history of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Prohibition-era Chicago, on-set production gossip, location shots from the fabled Hotel Coronado in San Diego (doubling for Miami), lyrics from the jazz-era songs in the film, the Broadway and West End musical versions (one of which starred Tony Curtis), and the on-going legacy of the most hilarious cross-gender film in history. As the movie concludes, 'Nobody's perfect!' but this companion to the beloved film will be the perfect addition to the library of anyone who loves comedy, jazz, American film — or Marilyn Monroe.»

Where did John, Paul and George try to post Ringo into a letterbox? Which railway stations were locations in 'A Hard Day's Night? ''Where was 'I Am The Walrus' filmed?

It perhaps seems impossible that any images of the Beatles remain unseen, but this fascinating book accompanied by a DVD of rare 8mm footage provides a whole new insight into the Beatles, in pictures. The over 200 images include several early photos of The Quarrymen — when John first met Paul; the filming of A Hard Day's Night at Paddington; the Beatles in the Bahamas in 1965 filming Help; John and Yoko at home; and Paul on holiday in Frank Sinatra's Learjet — plus many more! Encapsulating the culture, music and spirit of the 60s, this unique book brings us closer to one of the world's all-time favourite bands and is sure to delight any fan. While it could be said the pictures 'speak for themselves', interviews with many of the photographers give us an extraordinary insight into the background of each shot, while extended captions give further behind-the-scenes information to complete this fascinating package.
