All 20 episodes from the sixth and final series of the hit comedy
drama series set in New York. In 'To Market, To Market', Carrie
(Sarah Jessica Parker) is getting so nervous about her date with
Berger (Ron Livingston) that she decides to go on a Sim-u-date to
calm her nerves. 'Great Sexpectations' sees Carrie realising that
the passion she and Berger feel for each other doesn't translate to
the bedroom. In 'The Perfect Present', Carrie is concerned by
Berger's hostile reaction to his ex-girlfriend's voicemail message.
In 'Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little', Berger reacts badly to Carrie's
jokey criticism of his new novel. In 'Lights, Camera,
Relationship', Carrie and Berger's relationship starts to look even
more fragile when Carrie gets a big advance for her book just as
Berger's option is dropped by his publisher. In 'Hop, Skip and a
Week', Berger and Carrie drift even further apart and he finally
dumps her - by Post-it note. In 'The Post-it Always Sticks Twice',
Carrie vows to her friends that she won't badmouth Berger - but
when she runs into some friends of his the temptation proves
irresistible. In 'The Catch', Charlotte (Kristin Davis) gets
married to Harry (Evan Handler). 'A Woman's Right to Shoes' finds
Carrie's new Manolos being stolen at her friend's baby shower. In
'Boy, Interrupted', Carrie runs into an old high school boyfriend,
who is in town to attend a local psychiatric facility. 'The Domino
Effect' sees Big (Chris Noth) back in town for an operation. In a
feverish delirium he opens up to Carrie - but on recovery becomes
his usual cool and closed-off self. In 'One', Carrie meets
Aleksandr Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) at a hot new art
exhibition. In 'Let There Be Light', Carrie stays over at
Aleksandr's apartment and the two become an official item. In
'Catch-38', Aleksandr tells Carrie that he has a daughter in Paris,
and that he doesn't want any more children - leaving Carrie to
wonder if, at 38, she's willing to give up a man for a baby she may
or may not want to have. 'Out of the Frying Pan' sees Carrie
walking out on Aleksandr when, during a conversation about
Samantha's (Kim Cattrell) breast cancer, he mentions a friend of
his who died of the illness. In 'The Cold War', Carrie arranges for
her friends to meet Aleksandr, but he doesn't show up, and it turns
out he's anxious about his forthcoming exhibition in Paris. In
'Splat', Carrie accepts Aleksandr's offer to accompany him to
Paris. In 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)', Carrie, left to
her own devices on the streets of Paris while Aleksandr prepares
for his exhibition, is missing her friends and her life back home.
In the final episode, 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)',
Carrie returns to New York and her friends with Big after he tracks
her down in Paris and they realise they are meant to be together.

This newly updated encyclopedia of fire engines from all over the
world charts their history from Roman times to the super-advanced
firefighting machines that we rely on today. An A-Z of fire engine
manufacturers depicts each type, from General Motors in the USA and
Metz in Germany, to Hino in Japan. There is documentation of early
fires, including the Great Fire of London, and a section on
modern-day fire brigades provides facts about training, uniforms
and special rescue techniques. With 700 photographs, many depicting
fire engines in action, this fabulous book is an essential history,
identifier and source book of fire engines and firefighting.
What role should the police have in an industrial dispute? How were
they led into a partisan role in assisting the defeat of the 1984-5
miners' strike? Widespread concern over police road-blocks,
allegations of police and picket violence, and the huge numbers of
police used to maintain order and access to work led the National
Council for Civil Liberties to set up an inquiry into the policing.
The Inquiry Panel produced an interim report - but the NCCL
disowned it, because of its acknowledgement of the rights of
working miners as well as striking ones. The members of the Panel -
who included former Chief Constable John Alderson and NCCL General
Secretary Larry Gostin - then resigned, but continued work as a
group of private individuals. Originally published in 1988, this
book is their final report. The report describes the policing of
the strike in detail from a range of published, unpublished, and
eyewitness sources. The strike is set in the context of
developments in law and policing before and since. The authors are
able to provide a unique and authoritative perspective, analysing
both the events of 1984-5 and the longer-term trends and problems,
based on a clear recognition of the basic issues and conflicts of
civil liberties involved. In their conclusions and recommendations
the authors present an informed view of the use of the police
during the strike, the breakdown of the system of police
accountability, and the policies developed since the strike. Their
findings point to the need for a Bill of Rights to cover civil
liberties during industrial conflict, and the need for a new
picketing Code of Practice. The Police, Public Order, and Civil
Liberties will be essential reading for all concerned with the
police, industrial relations, and the political and constitutional
system. It will also be of value to all who need a clear and
unbiased view of one of the key events in British post-war history.
Not all weeds are ugly uncontrollable brutes. Yes, they can be
difficult and intimidating, but by learning how to grow weeds in
unexpected ways you will become a better gardener with a more
interesting garden. This book profiles over 50 weeds and shows you
surprising ways to grow them, no matter what your garden type: from
borders to boxes, sunny to shady, poor soil to rich, tropical to
formal, Japanese-style to prairies. With interviews, tips and
advice from celebrated gardeners, learn how to let weeds flourish
without taking control. Wild about Weeds is the must-have guide for
modern gardeners that explains how to tame and nurture the most
challenging of plants.
'This is a clearly presented work, with accessible topic headings
and plenty of good advice sprinkled with engaging personal
anecdotes. The message at the book's heart is to adopt a greener
way of being and to see oneself as part of nature, not removed from
it. On this point it is exceptional, distinguishing itself from
many of the green gardening books written in recent years.' The
English Garden magazine 'Conversational, interesting, and personal
... it reaffirms the link between what we love to do and why we
should be doing it with nature, the planet and our health in mind.'
RHS The Garden magazine If you want a sustainable garden and a
better relationship with nature, A Greener Life is the guide you
need. Packed with inspirational images and practical tips, the book
covers garden planning, organic composting and vegetable growing,
as well as sustainable planting, rewilding and wildlife-attracting
environments. Learn traditional gardening techniques like
propagating and growing from cuttings to make your garden
self-sustaining, and discover plants that attract hover flies, bees
and butterflies. With Jack Wallington's warmth and expertise on
every page, this is an ideal book for new gardeners seeking greener
practices.
The human race has altered the chemical composition of the
atmosphere, as evidenced by the notorious London smog,
photochemical air pollution, acid rain, stratospheric ozone
depletion, and elevated greenhouse gas concentrations. The aim of
this book series is to present invited summaries of important
current research on atmospheric chemistry in a changing world. The
summaries range from comprehensive scholarly reviews of major
subject areas to more narrowly focused accounts of recent advances
by individual research groups. The topics are tied to the important
societal issues of air quality, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid
deposition, the environmental fate of toxics, and climate change.
By gathering these new Advances in one series, we aim to catalyze
communication among the many researchers who are studying our
changing, contemporary atmosphere.
As the threats of food insecurity loom ever larger, the world
faces the sad irony of food shortages in the global South alongside
a purported 'obesity epidemic' in the global North. The twin issues
of food production and food access are of particular concern in the
context of climate change, 'peak oil', biofuels, and land grabs by
wealthy nations.
Food Security, Nutrition and Sustainability offers critical
insights by international scholars, with chapters on global food
security, supermarket power, new technologies, and sustainability.
The book also assesses the contributions of diet and nutrition
research in building socially just and environmentally sustainable
food systems and provides policy recommendations to improve the
health and environmental status of contemporary agri-food systems.
The book features contributions from a range of social science
perspectives, including sociology, anthropology, public health and
geography, with case study material drawn from throughout the
world.
