This widely acclaimed, beautifully illustrated survey of Western architecture is now fully revised throughout, including essays on non-Western traditions. The expanded book vividly examines the structure, function, history, and meaning of architecture in ways that are both accessible and engaging.

A double bill of fast-paced action thrillers.

Taken (2008)
Liam Neeson stars as Bryan Mills, a former CIA secret agent living in the US, who is obliged to resurrect the skills he learned in his old job after his estranged 17-year-old daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) is kidnapped by sex slave traffickers while travelling with a friend in Europe.

Taken 2 (2012)
Murad (Rade Serbedzija), the father of a kidnapper killed by Mills (Neeson) in the first film, makes a bid for retribution by taking Mills and his wife (Famke Janssen) hostage in Istanbul. Now their daughter, Kim (Grace), must swing into action and act swiftly to save her parents.

Family adventure loosely based on the novel by Jack London. Christopher Lloyd stars as Bill Hale, a recently widowed man living in Montana who has his nine-year-old granddaughter Ryann (Ariel Gade) to stay for several weeks while her parents go abroad. When Ryann finds a wounded wild dog on the back porch one night, she names him 'Buck' and dreams of taking him back to the city as a pet. But her grandfather knows that the animal will eventually have to return to the wild, and to help her understand this he starts reading Jack London's 'Call of the Wild' aloud to her each night. However, Ryann has hatched a plan of her own, and enlists the help of a local boy to train Buck up as a sled dog champion.
