As the AIDS crisis reaches new heights globally with no cure in the immediate future, the time is ripe to step back and examine the roots of this epidemic. In When AIDS Began, Michelle Cochrane constructs the making of this disease and dispels many of the misconceptions that surround it. By examining the early outbreaks in San Francisco, Cochrane unfolds the "creation" of AIDS in one geographic location and then traces how and why major claims about the transmission of HIV were made, extrapolated and then disseminated to the rest of the world - all important factors in understanding this disease.

Sean Bean returns as the swashbuckling soldier Richard Sharpe in
this double-bill of the ITV drama based on the popular characters
created by Bernard Cornwell. In 'Sharpe's Challenge' it's 1817, two
years after the final defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, and the Duke
of Wellington (Hugh Fraser) dispatches Sharpe to India to rescue a
general's daughter who has been captured by an Indian warlord. With
the loyal Sergeant Harper (Daragh O'Malley) at his side, Sharpe
travels deep into enemy territory, searching for the kidnapped girl
while at the same time trying to avoid the attentions of the
beautiful - but deadly - Indian princess Madhuvanthi (Padma
Lakshmi). In 'Sharpe's Peril', Sharpe (Bean) and Harper (O'Malley)
are travelling through bandit country on their way to Madras when
they come across a run-down army unit fearful of attack. When the
dreaded onslaught finally happens, Sharpe is called on to take
control of the situation and lead the survivors to safety.

In 1714 Parliament offer a £20,000 prize for anyone who can provide
an accurate means of measuring longitude at sea. John Harrison
(Michael Gambon) flies in the face of popular opinion by saying
that the stars do not provide the answer, and provides his own
solution with the invention of a mechanical clock. However, it
takes Harrison forty years to prove his theory, and he is
eventually forgotten in the mists of time. Centuries later, Robert
Gould (Jeremy Irons) attempts to restore Harrison's reputation by
tracking down and repairing the four clocks he originally
constructed.
(Book). The high standards set by Chet Atkins as a performer,
recording artist, and record producer continue to inspire others.
Complementing the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's
exhibition Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player, this book honors
one of America's most influential musicians. To provide insight on
the legend and his music, the Country Music Hall of Fame invited
several experts to prepare essays, including Michael Cochran, Rich
Kienzle, Walter Carter, and John W. Rumble. Chet only bestowed his
degree of "Certified Guitar Player" on four other guitarists over
the years: Tommy Emmanuel, John Knowles, Jerry Reed, and Steve
Wariner. Reed passed away in 2008, but the other musicians have
shared special memories of Chet in these pages. Chet Atkins:
Certified Guitar Player is a heartening read of essays and
reminiscences that provide a revealing picture of Chet Atkins and
his extraordinary life.
