The ultimate insider's guide to Los Angeles; features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides."In Los Angeles, everyone is a star." - Denzel Washington For more than a century, seekers of sun and celebrity from around the world have flocked to this sprawling metropolis on the Pacific, which Dorothy Parker once described as "72 suburbs in search of a city." But beyond the red-carpet reputation and Tinseltown trappings is a west coast wonderland teeming with unexpected cultural experiences, iconic architecture, gorgeous open spaces, quirky museums, hidden vistas, unconventional art, and obscure stories about the starlets, moguls, personalities, and players who have made Los Angeles their playground.

From the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, Angelenos and visitors will fall in love with the real Los Angeles. Adventures beckon. Surprises await.

This book will also take you to alternative Manchester - Radical Manchester, Literary Manchester, and of course to Madchester, the crazy music scene. Revised and updated edition.Manchester is far more than a grey provincial city preoccupied with the business of making money. The bales of cotton goods awaiting export have gone from the grand warehouses styled like palaces, and the cotton mills no longer hum with the sound of machinery. Yet the buildings remain in all their glory of tiles, terracotta and stained glass - converted to hotels, offices, chic apartments, hipster bars, fine eateries or gritty drinking dens. The textile trade may have disappeared, but you can find sustainable fashion in the old rag-trade district, and top quality coats and jackets are still being hand-sewn in the last remaining family-owned clothing factory. This book will also take you to alternative Manchester - Radical Manchester from Peterloo to the Pankhursts, Literary Manchester from Elizabeth Gaskell to Anthony Burgess, and of course to Madchester, the crazy music scene of Morrissey, Tony Wilson, the Hacienda and Factory Records. <br><br> Autorid: Julian Treuherz, Peter de Figueiredo <br>

They call Yorkshire Gods own country. This is because Englands biggest county is also Englands most epic and most historically exciting. It has everything: unimaginably beautiful countryside, derelict castles, cliff-hugging coastlines, brutally bleak moors, quirkily quaint villages, wondrously winding waterways and industrial monsters of cities. Many of the most interesting episodes in English history have happened here: the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, the birth of the industrial revolution, the rise of the Labour movement. But when people think of Yorkshire they also think of the unusual and the unsung: Bettys delightful tea rooms, cricket at Scarborough, the windswept steps of Whitby Abbey, the steam railway of the Railway Children, Mother Shiptons Cave, and racing at Doncaster and York. Yorkshire has also given birth to some of the greatest and most talented figures in English history: Brian Clough, Harold Wilson, John Wycliffe, William Wilberforce, the Brontë Sisters, David Hockney and Barbara Hepworth. <br><br> Autorid: Ed Glinert <br>

1177 B.C. is a spectacular achievementdeftly adapted, beautifully drawn, and captivatingly colored by Glynnis Fawkes. . . . (She] doesnt just bring history alive, she propels it across the page in an accessible, gripping way.Alison Bechdel, New York Times bestselling author of Fun Home A beautiful, full-color graphic version of Eric Clines bestselling 1177 B.C., adapted by award-winning author-illustrator Glynnis Fawkes Eric Clines 1177 B.C. tells the story of one of historys greatest mysteries: what caused the ancient civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean to collapse more than three thousand years ago, bringing the Late Bronze Age to an abrupt end? In this vivid and captivating full-color graphic adaptation of the landmark book, author-illustrator Glynnis Fawkes invites us to follow two young friends living in the aftermath of the cataclysm as they unravel why it happenedand reveal important lessons for todays interconnected and vulnerable world. Pel, a member of the marauding Sea Peoples, and Shesha, an Egyptian scribe, visit the kingdoms of the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Hittites, Canaanites, Assyrians, and Egyptians to explore the calamities that brought them down. This graphic history depicts the people, events, art, architecture, and lands that Pel and Shesha encounter. We witness the Sea Peoples battles on land and sea, earthquakes on the Greek mainland, droughts and famine in Anatolia, invasions in north Syria, and possible rebellions in Canaan. Along the way, we also learn about the assassination of a Hittite prince traveling to marry an Egyptian queen, the sinking of a merchant ship laden with international goods, and the return of a pair of sandals to Crete by the Babylonian king Hammurabi. An entertaining adventure story, this dazzling comic is also historically accurate and enlightening, inviting readers of all ages to think about the surprising factors and theories that explain why societies, whether ancient or modern, die or survive when struck by catastrophes. <br><br> Autorid: Eric H. Cline, Glynnis Fawkes, Glynnis Fawkes <br>

A bold reassessment of what caused the Late Bronze Age collapse In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen? In this major new account of the causes of this "First Dark Ages," Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries. A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Ageand that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece. <br><br> Autorid: Eric H. Cline <br>

Have you ever looked at the clock and been surprised at how often it says 11.11 or 2.22 or 3.33? "The 11:11 Code" tells the story of yoga teacher Hilary Carter, who was brave enough to follow the coincidences around numbers to see what would happen. To her amazement the number signs, in particular 11.11, led her to buy an ancient convent in Andalucia, Spain. The problems this led her to were in a different league to the normal "restoring old continental properties" so common on our TV screens today. Her financial backer died, her first builder ended up in prison and her second builder was paralysed in a tragic accident. But that scratches the surface. Formerly a home to the Knights Templar, the building was both haunted and seemed to have a will of its own.This exploration of synchronicity, destiny and past lives sits with The Celestine Prophecy as an inspiring example of discovering meaning behind events. It further looks at the modern explosion of interest in the significance of 11.11, and how as a binary number it links directly to the current wars in Iraq, the Lebanon and Afghanistan. With the difference, of course, that this is a true story. You will never look at the world in the same way after reading this book, for once you are awakened to the 11.11 sign, there is no going back to sleep. <br><br> Autorid: Hilary Carter <br>

“If you ever wondered about the repeated number sequences you see and what they might be trying to tell you, Jones and Flaxman take you on a rollercoaster ride through the levels of mind and consciousness." —Chellie Campbell, author The Wealthy Spirit and Zero to ZillionaireDo you wake up every night and see 11:11 on the clock? Or 3:33? 4:44? Does the same number sequence seem to appear throughout your life over and over? Did you know that millions of people all over the world experience the same phenomenon?These mysterious number sequences are known as “time prompts,” and show up on digital clocks, cell phones, receipts, billboards, advertisements, and other places. They seem like pure coincidence, but what if they are actually messages from a higher source, like angels, guides, or even the Universe itself, urging you to pay attention to something important?This book explores the many theories about what these number sequences are, including:The science behind synchronicities, coincidences, and the mathematical nature of realityNumerical patterns and sacred geometry in nature—such as the Fibonacci spiral, the golden ratio, and DNA sequencesEnter the intriguing world of time prompts. If numbers are the language of the Universe, what are they saying to you? <br><br> Autorid: Marie D. Jones, Larry Flaxman <br>

A new in-depth study into those pivotal moments, both leading up to the striking of the iceberg, and across those crucial minutes afterwards, during which the fate of Titanic, and the 2,208 souls aboard, was realized At 11:40pm on April 14, 1912, Titanic collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic and began to sink. From the moment the iceberg was spotted, the ship was on a collision course with destiny, with the immediate aftermath of the collision becoming a race against time for those on board to inspect the damage and determine Titanic’s fate. In this new study, the events of both the evasive maneuvers and the subsequent damage assessment are broken down, order by order, moment by moment, giving a forensic analysis of these crucial events. In doing so, with the backing of an exhaustive collection of both historical and modern data, along with over twenty years of personal research by Brad Payne, facts are separated from myths and the most accurate truths about what really happened aboard Titanic during these critical moments are revealed. <br><br> Autorid: Brad Payne <br>
