updated in a collector's edition, is an exciting look at the
variety of luxurious wedding dresses, which both celebrates and
reveals their beauty, sophistication, and romance. From Jacqueline
Kennedy to Grace Kelly, Oleg Cassini's designs are synonymous with

Thinking in Health & Social Care is designed to equip
practitioners with the knowledge and tools they need to critically
examine practice in their own workplace. The book presents a range
of different approaches, which have particular relevance in the
context of health and social care. Each approach is explained and
grounded in practice using case studies, problem-solving scenarios
and workplace examples. The practical tools which form the core of
the book are contextualised by an exploration of what constitutes
knowledge and evidence and the types of assumptions which are
commonly held and which have a bearing on practice. This is an
essential text for advanced post-graduate health and social care
students, and for those who are moving into more senior and
strategic roles. Critical Thinking in Health & Social Care
provides an array of tools which can be used to challenge and
change existing practice and to solve problems. Stella Jones-Devitt

This juicy extravaganza of a book is at once a star-studded memoir,
a mouthwatering reminiscence about great food and great meals, and
a very special kind of cookbook by Liz Smith, bestselling author
and surely America's most beloved gossip columnist (indeed, perhaps
the only gossip columnist ever to be universally beloved). Here,
great dish and great dishes are artfully blended with anecdotes and
spiced with Liz's inimitable sense of humor, instinct for a great
story, and joie de vivre to produce a life-loving, sometimes bawdy,
and always utterly captivating read.
As everybody knows, nothing goes better with a good meal than a
little juicy gossip, and no one puts the two together better than
Liz Smith, the acknowledged grande dame of gossip, who traces here
her gradual education in haute cuisine, as well as her unashamed
taste for down-home, stick-to-the-ribs cooking.
When it comes to food, Liz Smith has seen it all (and eaten much
of it). She has watched Nicole Kidman devour a basket of bread
before a full dinner at New York's glamorous Four Seasons
restaurant and not gain an ounce. She has eaten al fresco off the
hood of a car with Mike Nichols. She has been tempted by fattening
cookies sent by Renee Zellweger. She has talked biscuits and gravy
with Julia Roberts and eaten Elizabeth Taylor's trademark Jailhouse
Chili and Chipped Beef a la Krupp Diamond.
No food snob, Liz Smith revels in such dishes as Elvis Presley's
favorite sandwich (peanut butter and banana) or Frito Pie (you'll
love both these once you've tried them). But she is equally fond of
haute cuisine, of four-star restaurants, and of great gourmet
experiences. She shares with the reader all this and much, much
more, eating, as she puts it, "high and low on the hog," from her
favorite Chicken-Fried Steak recipe to Deep-fried Turkey (real men
deep-fry a turkey, they don't roast it) and her classic Lobster
Rolls recipe, with a pause for her advice on how to make the
perfect margarita to wash it all down. From Kate Hepburn's brownies
to pigs' feet, Liz not only names names but shares their most
treasured recipes, as well as taking the reader on a gourmet tour
of great meals.
As Liz herself says, "Reading about food is the next best thing
to eating it. People seek companionship, comfort, reassurance, a
sense of warmth, and well-being from food. Maybe they can get some
of that from this book."
For twenty-five years, Charlotte Curtis was a society/women's
reporter and editor and an op-ed editor at the New York Times. As
the first woman section editor at the Times, Curtis was a
pioneering journalist and one of the first nationwide to change the
nature and content of the women's pages from fluffy wedding
announcements and recipes to the more newsy, issue-oriented stories
that characterize them today. In this riveting biography, Marilyn
Greenwald describes how a woman reporter from Columbus, Ohio, broke
into the ranks of the male-dominated upper echelon at the New York
Times. It documents what she did to succeed and what she had to
sacrifice. Charlotte Curtis paved the way for the journalists who
followed her. A Woman of the Times offers a chronicle of her
hard-won journey as she invents her own brand of feminism during
the 1960s and 1970s. In the telling of this remarkable woman's life
is the story, as well, of a critical era in the nation's social
history.

"America's top gossip columnist spills the beans as she traces five
decades of battling press agents and editors and landing celebrity
scoops." (Variety) From Tallulah Bankhead to Joan Crawford to the
Kennedys and Madonna, the ultimate insider, Liz Smith, has
hobnobbed, air-kissed, and lunched with just about everybody who's
been anybody over the last half century and then rushed to tell the
world all about it. Now, in this candid, down-to-earth
autobiography, she tells all about herself, and does it with the
kind of style and warmth that has made her one of the most widely
read columnists in history. But she wasn't always famous, and in
Natural Blonde she reveals how a young woman from rural Texas came
to New York hell-bent on making something of her life. From her
salad days as a small-time reporter, typist, and proofreader to her
triumphs at the Daily News, Newsday, New York Post and her 1995
Emmy for reporting, Liz tells what it's really like to be seen and
heard by millions of people every day. One of the most-quoted
people of our time, she offers a rare, private peek into the real
person behind the witty quips and media coverage. Certainly one of
the most eagerly anticipated autobiographies in years, Natural
Blonde will give Liz Smith readers the item they've been waiting
for the ultimate inside scoop from the "Grande Dame of Dish."
She was a woman of confidence, focus, and passion, and it made her one of the world's greatest sources of inspiration and influence. As devoted wife, loving mother, and revered public figure, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's enduring legacy lies in the choices she made, the beliefs that made her strong, and the will to survive. She managed heartache and happiness with equal decorum, and handled incredible fame and wealth with reserve, humility, and taste. She drew on a remarkable well of self-knowledge and a sense of purpose to cope with extraordinary public demands and overwhelming private needs.
