The extraordinary story of the eccentric family of Britain's most outstanding military historian, Max Hastings. The son of high-flying journalists Anne Scott-James and Macdonald Hastings, Max Hastings has a great literary heritage. Authors, journalists and reporters, many of whom recorded their experiences in writing, fill his family tree. By the age of seventeen Max had read almost all of the forty-odd books that his family had published, and he now tells the story of his unique, yet quintessentially English, upbringing. In 1986, when he appeared on Desert Island Discs, Max dodged tricky questions about his family. Yet years later, when his mother featured on the same programme, she was far less inhibited. To the audience's delight, and her son's toe-curling embarrassment, she told of old family quarrels, and Max's frightful childhood behaviour. For years afterwards he was asked, 'Did you really shoot the television?' In this candid, funny and touching autobiography, Max Hastings reveals the realities of growing up in the Scott-James-Hastings household. Inclining to his mother's view that 'all families are dysfunctional', he looks back at the colourful history of his family; his great-grandfather Hugh, the first family member to hit Fleet Street; grandfather Basil, whose successful career as a West End playwright was short-lived despite collaborations with Joseph Conrad and Stephen Leacock; his great-uncle Lewis, who ran away to South Africa, where his many adventures included a time as a professional elephant-shotoer. And, of course, his parents, the beautiful and witty Anne Scott-James and the celebrated war correspondent, writer and broadcaster Macdonald Hastings.

Until her murder in October 2006, Anna Politkovskaya wrote for the Russian newspaper "Novaya gazeta". She won international fame for her reporting on the Chechen wars and, more generally, on Russian state corruption. "Nothing but the Truth" is a collection of Anna Politkovskaya's best writing for "Novaya gazeta", published between 1999 and 2006. Beginning with a brief introduction by the author about her pariah status, it contains material which characterizes the self-effacing Politkovskaya more fully than she allowed in her other books. "Nothing but the Truth" presents a solid overview of her highly professional reportage, and will also stand as a tribute to her matter-of-fact personal courage, disclosing information Anna Politkovskaya glossed over, or omitted completely, about the dangers she faced and the threats she received in the course of her work. Elsewhere, there are illuminating accounts of interviews and encounters with Western leaders including Lionel Jospin, Tony Blair, George W. Bush, and such e xiled figures as Boris Berezovsky, Akhmed Zakaev, and Vladimir Bukovsky. And additional sections contain her non-political writing, revealing her delightful personality, and detail international reactions to her murder.

Red-carpet fashion laureate, comic icon, and outspoken superstar Joan Rivers is uniquely qualified to talk about plastic surgery -- because she's one of the few celebrities unafraid to admit to the world what she's "had done" to keep looking so great. Now, in this no-holds-barred book, she gives women straight-talking advice on better living through looking better.Joan Rivers' abiding life philosophy is simple: in the appearance-centric society of the twenty-first century, beauty is key -- especially where men are concerned. Men like pretty women. And so, getting something lifted, tightened, adjusted, or removed is as fundamental as wearing makeup or using hair conditioner; it's become something we do to make ourselves look better. Now, for any woman considering her options, Joan Rivers takes the mystery out of cosmetic surgery with a practical overview, aided and informed by the country's top plastic surgeons, of almost every single cosmetic procedure legally performed in America today. She takes readers ste p-by-step through these entire processes, from fi nding the right doctor to the bruising truth about recovery and the facts about cosmetic surgery's very real risks.But don't worry -- there's dish, too. Filled with Rivers' personal anecdotes about life under the knife, "Men Are Stupid...And They Like Big Boobs" is also rife with Hollywood gossip about who's done what and how often. Part comic musing, part bitch-fest, and part hands-on advice, this is a bracingly funny, wildly frank, and genuinely passionate argument for a woman's right to do whatever it takes to be beautiful, to feel better about herself, and most of all to be happy -- not only with who she is, but who she wants to be. Throughout the book, Joan Rivers is right there, guiding and encouraging with no apologies, no excuses, and absolutely no shame. Take it from the woman who enjoys having it all -- done.
