This book looks at WWII from a largely British perspective, based
upon approximately 350 photographs from the archives of Mirrorpix.
It takes a look at the legacies of the war, including the
establishment of the United Nations and the European Union. The
Second World War was the deadliest conflict in human history. The
Second World War broke out in Europe in 1939 and spread rapidly
around the globe, involving most of the world's nations and all of
the great powers. The most widespread war in history, the Second
World War involved more than 100 million people who served in
military units. Moreover, the major participants adopted a state of
'total war' whereby the nation's entire economic, industrial and
scientific capabilities were dedicated to the war effort, removing
the distinction between military and civilian resources. It was the
deadliest conflict in human history. Legacies of the war include
the establishment of the United Nations and the European Union to
encourage international co-operation and prevent future conflicts.
This book looks at the Second World War from a largely British
perspective, based on approximately 350 photographs from the
archives of "Mirrorpix".

featuring images straight from the archives of the "Press
Association". This illuminating collection offers fascinating
images that depict both major historical events and smaller, but no
less significant, occurrences. It presents a beautiful gift idea,

equal, if not greater, significance for the people of Britain. Amid
a climate of flooding, heat wave, gales and global warming,
cannabis is downgraded, cigarettes are banned from public places,
and knife crime escalates. An Internet and telecommunications boom
spawns social media microblogging and reality TV gives 'fifteen
minutes of fame' to ordinary people. From the onset of foot and
mouth in the first year of the new millennium to concerns over
swine flu towards the end of the decade; from the anti-capitalist
riots of 2000 to the collapse of major banks and the credit crunch
in 2008. This book contains around 300 photographs, hand-picked by
PA Photos' own archivists. Many of these images have lain unseen
since they were used as news pictures when first taken.

gibbons, wolves, swans and beavers, amongst others. An ideal
Valentine's Day gift for that special person in your life, "Mates
for Life" is an affectionate and amusing look at our neighbours in
the animal kingdom who opt for the monogamous relationship. If they
can do it, why can't we? Stunning colour photography captures
cuddly, cute or cooing couples in their natural habitats, designed
to melt even the most hard-hearted valentine, while informative
text describes their mating rituals, the often elaborate display of
feathers or fur, the special relationship the couples enjoy, their
relationship with their offspring and fascinating facts about the
species. Gibbons and guinea fowl, wolves and warblers, swans,
skinks and seahorses, angel fish, beavers, voles and vultures are
just a few of ensemble of creatures that prove that devotion to one
partner is a way of life we should aspire to.
This is a visual, historical guide to the development and growth of
rugby. It includes almost 300 hundred images from the Press
Association archives that capture Rugby's finest moments. It also
includes background to the most successful teams, greatest matches,
a players' hall of fame and guide to the hallowed Rugby grounds. As
far back as the 1830s a form of rugby was being played at Rugby
Public School, after pupil William Webb Ellis first picked up a
football and ran with it. In 1863 the Football Association met to
standardise a common set of rules between the kicking and running
games but failed to meet with the approval of the rugby fraternity.
Twenty-one clubs refused to join the FA and in 1871 set up their
own code of practice as 'The Rugby Union'. The popularity of the
game quickly spread beyond Britain's shores becoming an
international sensation. 100 Years of Rugby in Focus is a visual,
historical record of the development and growth of the game, with
background to more than a century of the most successful teams and
the greatest matches, a players' hall of fame and a guide to the
hallowed grounds where the game is played. This story is told in
more than 400 photographs from the vast archives of the Press
Association, whose photographers were on hand to capture the finest
moments of the sport over more than a century.
With the aid of almost 100 photographs from the news archives of
Mirrorpix, this book offers readers the opportunity to read a
critique and review of the inspirational, moving, shocking and
sometimes humorous words of the men and women who experienced The
Great War first hand. This book presents a poignant, nostalgic
record of the lives of military commanders, ordinary soldiers,
politicians, royalty and civilian families whose lives were torn
asunder in a four-year conflict that redrew the map of the world.
100 Years of London presents a visual record of London at its best
and worst, from the armistice at the end of World War I through to
the modern day. The story is told through 300 photographs from the
Press Association's vast archives. Hand-picked by their own
archivists, many of these pictures remained archived and unseen for
years after they were first published in the newspapers and
magazines of their day. Collected here in a new edition, they
present an evocative and visual journey through the modern history
that has made London the city it is today.
