The full story of Taylor Swift's stratospheric rise to fame; all
any dedicated Swifty needs to know about the pop superstar who's
taking over the world. A small-town girl with an incredible talent,
and the strength to realise her dream, Taylor has grown into an
award-winning, chart-topping artist and worldwide star, as well as
a strong and stylish woman. But how did she get there? And what
lies in store for her in the future? From childhood dreams of a
musical future in Pennsylvania, to determined and budding teen
musician with a trademark she's stayed faithful to ever since:
honest lyrics about real-life events; her fight to be taken
seriously in the music industry, through to the rewards of success
and the intense pressure of expectation, Taylor Swift: The Whole
Story is a full account of Taylor's incredible journey, with
everything you need to know about America's Sweetheart. This
compelling book is packed full of fascinating details revealing the
true Taylor - what drives, motivates and moves her, how she
overcame the challenges that loomed on the road to fame and looks
at how authentic her wholesome image is, plus the truth about her
relationships with Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor Kennedy
and who she's really talking about on her tracks. The full portrait
of a girl who could so easily have faded into the background - but
who blossomed in the spotlight into a grounded, graceful and
inspiring young woman.
For two months every winter, when Pacific storms make landfall,
Oahu's paradisical North Shore turns into a fiery hell. Its
population more than triples as mainlanders, Brazilians,
Australians, and Europeans transform the normally sleepy shore into
a lawless, violent, drug-addled, and adrenaline-soaked mecca where
fearless men paddle into thirty-foot waves breaking over a
razor-sharp reef. And when the sun goes down, the true danger comes
out as drug money, fights, murder, and extortion rule the surfing
underworld. The North Shore during winter is downright dangerous
but also exhilarating, and Chas Smith paints a true picture of what
it feels like to be in the middle of it all. Welcome to Paradise,
Now Go to Hell is both a breathtaking and wildly funny tale of
beauty, wickedness, and the unyielding allure of ocean waves in all
their glory.
The coronation of George VI on 12 May 1937 was one of the biggest
media events of the interwar period. While other photographers
focused on the new King, his family and the ceremonial splendour of
the day, Henri Cartier-Bresson turned his lens on the crowds that
gathered in the streets of London to watch the pageantry. In a
witty reversal of the expected order of proceedings, he shows us
ordinary people of all ages and walks of life, some climbing on
monuments or each other’s shoulders, others straining to get a
better view with cardboard periscopes and mirrors on sticks. A few
even slump on the ground, the festivities having proved too much.
Presented alongside contemporary news clippings from around the
world, these remarkable images reflect Cartier-Bresson’s
unmistakeable photographic eye and capture the British public at a
unique historical moment.
