Known by the Greeks as 'Megalonisos', the 'Great Island', Crete has
been of paramount strategic importance for thousands of years
thanks to its location close to the junction of three continents
and the heart of the eastern Mediterranean. The island has been
ruled for much of its history by foreign invaders - Mycenaeans,
Dorians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Venetians, Ottoman Turks and,
briefly, the Third Reich - and thus much of its past has revolved
around how the Cretans themselves, fierce lovers of freedom, have
interacted with their conquerors and the influence of foreign rule
on their culture. Two periods at either end of these three thousand
years of domination form an intriguing contrast: the dazzling
apogee of the Minoan civilisation and the brief period of autonomy
before union with Greece at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Moorey has written an engaging and lively account of Crete from the
Stone Age to the present day.

Black comedy directed by Chris Morris ('Brass Eye', 'The Day
Today'). Riz Ahmed plays Omar, a devout British-based Muslim who
forms a small terrorist group. Omar is an unconvincing leader and
his team of fellow terrorists are just as unimpressive. Among them
are dim-witted Waj (Kayvan Novak), shy and quiet Faisal (Adeel
Akhtar) and recently-converted white Muslim, Barry (Nigel Lindsay),
whose passion far outweighs his knowledge. Omar and his comrades
come up with several destructive plans, including using birds as
explosives and bombing mosques in an attempt to provoke non-violent
Muslims. But do this rag-tag team of terrorists really pose a
genuine threat to Britain?
Los Lobos leaped into the national spotlight in 1987, when their
cover of "La Bamba" became a No. 1 hit. But what looked like an
overnight achievement to the band's new fans was actually a way
station in a long musical journey that began in East Los Angeles in
1973 and is still going strong. Across four decades, Los Lobos
(Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, and Steve
Berlin) have ranged through virtually the entire breadth of
American vernacular music, from rockabilly to primal punk rock,
R&B to country and folk, Mexican son jarocho to Tex-Mex
conjunto and Latin American cumbia. Their sui generis sound has
sold millions of albums and won acclaim from fans and critics
alike, including three Grammy Awards. Los Lobos, the first book on
this unique band, traces the entire arc of the band's career. Music
journalist Chris Morris draws on new interviews with Los Lobos
members and their principal collaborators, as well as his own
reporting since the early 1980s, to recount the evolution of Los
Lobos's music. He describes the creation of every album, lingering
over highlights such as How Will the Wolf Survive?, La Pistola y El
Corazon, and Kiko, while following the band's trajectory from
playing Mexican folk music at weddings and dances in East L.A. to
international stardom and major-label success, as well as their
independent work in the new millennium. Giving one of the
longest-lived and most-honored American rock bands its due, Los
Lobos celebrates the expansive reach and creative experimentalism
that few other bands can match.
Born into poverty in the Scottish Border country in 1757, Thomas
Telford rose to become a towering figure of the Industrial
Revolution in Britain and the pre-eminent engineer of his day.
Incorporating material from the author's earlier book Thomas
Telford's Scotland, this new edition is a visual celebration of
Telford's architectural and engineering legacy, from the mighty
Menai Bridge to the harbours, manses and chapels of the remote
Scottish Highlands.
