With his unique and powerful voice, Tony Hadley has been a
successful music artist for more than forty years, from fronting
one of the biggest bands of the 80s, Spandau Ballet, to now
enjoying a thriving solo career around the world. Featuring
stunning imagery and behind-the-scenes photos from his musical
adventures, this beautifully illustrated book also captures other
professional highlights, like starring on stage in Chicago and
appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, as well as his
charity work, celebrity friends, childhood in north London and
special family moments. With snaps from his personal photo albums,
this amazing visual journey is accompanied by Tony's heartfelt and
insightful anecdotes.
After a trophy-laden and record-setting club and international
career, England's greatest ever goalkeeper, Peter Shilton, could
rightly look forward to an equally successful post-playing career.
But a gambling habit forged in his playing days soon spiralled into
a gambling addiction: a silent, self-destructive and ruinous
obsession that destroyed relationships, his mental health and very
nearly himself. With the love and support of his wife Steph, he was
able to face up to his addiction, find hope for the future and
overcome his 45-year secret and turn his life around. Peter and
Steph - who has over 20 years' experience working in the NHS - now
campaign to raise awareness of this, and other destructive
addictions, helping both addicts and their partners weather the
long and arduous journey back to recovery. Their support for and
work with 'The Big Step' campaign aims to bring in stricter
advertising controls and team kit sponsorship rules. Steph and
Peter bravely tell both sides of their journey with a direct
honesty and an empathy born of real-life experience, offering
advice and hope to not only those affected by gambling, but
sufferers of other chronic addictions. They also shine a light on
football's obsession with gambling, taking millions of pounds from
the gambling sites and bookies who sponsor the game, while
neglecting to support both the players and fans who fall prey to
addiction. This is the ultimately uplifting story of how he was
saved - by Steph's love and support, and his own strength and
determination.

Dammed follows the roughly 1,450-mile main stem of the Colorado
River, from birth in the Rocky Mountain National Park to its end at
the border of Mexico, and the 16 dams and diversions along its
course. The work documents the river, dams, reservoirs, and
people interacting with the river along this route. The intent of
this environmental photography project is to bring attention to the
increasingly arid conditions of the Colorado River basin, but also
prompts discussion and learning about not only the Colorado River
watershed, but of water supply in general.
