A year on from 'Die Hard', Los Angeles cop John McClane is set to meet up with wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) on Christmas Eve, this time at Dulles airport in Washington DC. However, when terrorists take over the airport in an attempt to rescue dictator Esperanza (Franco Nero) from his incoming flight, it is up to McClane to restore order and ensure that Holly's plane lands safely. Get that sweaty vest out, and put some shoes on this time.
The defeat of the Army of the Northwest in Michigan
On Christmas Eve, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is visiting his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) in Los Angeles, where she works. They are attending a party at Holly's high-rise office block when terrorists, led by the suave Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) break in, taking everyone hostage. McClane manages to evade capture, however, and sets out to rescue his wife and the other prisoners. It is not long before he is running barefoot over shattered glass (ouch!) in a sweaty vest, muttering 'Yippy kay aye' as he dispatches the baddies with bullets and a certain earthy wit.

William Atherton DuPuy was a well-known naturalist who wrote anecdotally and personally about nature in ANIMAL FRIENDS AND FOES, INSECT FRIENDS AND FOES, THE NATION'S FORESTS, and PLANT FRIENDS AND FOES. In another vein he authored GREEN KINGDOM, his account of the life of a forest ranger, and controversially produced HAWAII AND ITS RACE PROBLEM. He also wrote for Harper's and had a connection with the Department of the Interior and, less happily, with the military's chemical warfare projects.
William Atherton Dupuy managed to combine a career in public service, playing a role in the Department of the Interior, with the writing of a number of books distinguished by the care he gave to selecting artists and orchestrating an unusually close connection between the illustrations and text. His observations on bird life remain both entertaining and insightful.

In "Embroidered Ground: Revisiting the Garden," the acclaimed author and garden designer Page Dickey writes of the pitfalls, challenges, successes, and myriad pleasures of the twenty-nine year process of creating her own remarkable garden, Duck Hill, in upstate New York. This winning book details the evolution of one especially loved and cared-for space: its failed schemes and realized dreams, and the wisdom gained in contending with an ever-evolving work of art. The author shares her very personal views on what contributes to a garden's success--structure, fragrance, the play of light and shadow, patterns and textures, multiseasonal plants. She writes of gardening with a husband, with wildlife, with dogs and chickens. And she grapples with how to adapt her garden--as we can adapt ours--to change in the years ahead.

1925. Illustrated by Edward Herbert Miner. Wild life writer, Du Puy narrates the lives of many varied species from the lower to the higher forms of a wonderful variety of animals. From the Introduction: Within comparatively recent years a sympathy with Nature and an appreciation of it have developed, and a multitude of people now feel a responsibility for the preservation of our birds and mammals and various other forms of harmless or useful wild life so that they may continue to lend the animation and joy of their presence. The earth would be a dreary and forlorn place if the innumerable birds and mammals and many other form of wild life were destroyed. With the development of powers to see and to appreciate comes a feeling of sympathy and love for Nature, and it hoped that the readers of this book may each and all have awakened an active desire to help and perpetuate our wild life.
