A collection of true stories, gossip and details of 500 of the
singles that failed to dent the Top 10, but which are still worthy
of inclusion in a volume such as this. This book demonstrates just
how much a melting pot of talent, creativity and energy the decade
really was. It s not just in the groove, but between the grooves
that you'll find the magic. Nuggets of information and connections
between the artists, producers and songwriters offer a unique
insight into the careers and development of key (and not so key)
performers. The idea behind this book is simple to gather together
a fantastic selection of 60s pop releases that are not nearly as
well-known as they deserve to be. Packed full of beautiful glossy
pictures of each and every disc featured, it is a colourful and
quirky guide to records that you may never have heard of, but you
will certainly want to listen to when you've finished.

How to Date Like a Guy:
1. Flirt constantly.
2. Keep your options open.
3. Don't get attached.
Cassie and her two best friends, Greta and Keagan, are so over
boyfriends. But just because the girls are anti-boyfriend doesn't
mean they're anti-boy. So they make a pact for the summer: They'll
each kiss ten different guys before school starts--no commitments,
no drama, just fun. Sounds easy enough. Then Cassie meets the
perfect guy (nine boys too soon), and the pact starts to seem like
a terrible idea. Not to mention Boy Number One turns out to be her
best friend's ex. Ugh--Cassie's summer just went from carefree to
complicated faster than she can say "heartbreaker."

This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a
delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed
readers for more than 100 years. The work of English clergyman,
educator and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), it
describes the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident
of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women-thin, straight
lines-are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number
of sides, depending on their social status.
Through strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host
of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three
dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions)
and ultimately entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four
dimensions--a revolutionary idea for which he is returned to his
two-dimensional world. Charmingly illustrated by the author,
Flatland is not only fascinating reading, it is still a first-rate
fictional introduction to the concept of the multiple dimensions of
space. "Instructive, entertaining, and stimulating to the
imagination." -- "Mathematics Teacher."
