  'I have 90 years to share: 90 years of joy and sorrow, triumph and disaster, love and loss, laughter and tears; 90 years of watching the world change around me beyond my wildest imagination. Ninety years and still counting...' 
   
  Amanda Barrie, the iconic Cleo in Carry on Cleo and much-loved Alma in Coronation Street, was born in 1935, above her grandfather’s tailor’s shop in Ashton Under Lyne, during a ferocious thunderstorm. And ever since her journey through life has been a stormy one. 
   
  This book will tell the whole story for the first time, from her expulsion from two schools and running away from home aged 13 to be a Soho showgirl, to rising from the chorus to star in the West End, to Carry On Cabby and Carry On Cleo, to Corrie, Bad Girls and more. Amanda has become something of a national treasure, entertaining us all, whilst not hesitating to speak up for herself and others on national television, including on celebrity editions of Hell's Kitchen and Big Brother. 
   
  Having performed in her teenage years alongside fellow national icon Barbara Windsor, Amanda’s life has in many ways followed a similar trajectory to become a huge household name. 
   
  Amanda will pay particular attention to the whole new life she has led since she left Coronation Street in 2001. Packed with anecdotes and memories of her nine decades on stage and screen, she will share the moments that came to define her life. 
   
  She will fully explore her struggle to come to terms with who she was, relating in painful detail the traumas faced by a young gay woman in the 1950s and early 60s. She will explain why she kept that side of her a secret for most of her adult life, and how she feared that she would lose her job and her home if the truth became known. 
   
  For the first time, she will tell the full story of how she met her wife, novelist Hillary Bonner, fell in love, overcame all manner of difficulties, and built a new life together.

  We are all one. 
  The Declaration of Independence is in reality a Declaration of Interdependence based on human equality, the foundation of democracy whereby we have our inalienable rights. The way to destroy a democracy is to practice rampant inequality. Appreciating and celebrating our interdependence enables us to honor equality and preserve our democracy. 
  Part I - includes 16 "real Life" stories about personal experiences of inequality (racial, gender, religious, ethnic, social and financial prejudices). Each story is followed by comments and questions from a rearview mirror. What are the causes of inequality? What could bring better outcomes? What must we do to prevent divisiveness and future squandering of human talents? 
  Part II - is about manifesting equality, using four basic principles identified by Professor Walter Capps from the Danish philosopher N.F.S: Grundtvig, founder of folk schools. The principles are accessible to people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Following these principles leads to empowerment, living more fully, freely and happily as illustrated in folk schools throughout the world, including major contributions to civil rights in the United States. 
  Part III - A new approach, Prose Poetry, explores equality, interdependence, independence and truth.

  Few actors in Hindi cinema have had the sort of career arc: from the gawky adolescent pining for his schoolteacher (Mera Naam Joker, 1970) to the naughty ninety-year-old (Kapoor & Sons, 2016), Rishi Kapoor has regaled audiences for close to fifty years. He won a National Award for his debut, became an overnight sensation with his first film as a leading man (Bobby, 1973), and carved a niche for himself with a string of romantic musical blockbusters in an era known for its angst-ridden films. Characteristically candid, Rishi Kapoor brings Punjabi brio to the writing of Khullam Khulla. This is as up close and personal a biography as any fan could have hoped for. A foreword by Ranbir Kapoor and a stirring afterword by Neetu Singh bookend the warmest, most dil se biography an Indian star has ever penned.

  A lot has been written about World War II: the triumphs, the tribulations, and the horrors. Tom Clavin’s Lightning Down (2021) includes all three, as he covers the incredible story of Joseph “Joe” Moser, an American pilot who survived his stay at the Buchenwald concentration camp. 
  Buchenwald is one of the most infamous German concentration camps, not for its sheer size, but the absolutely horrifying conditions its occupants had to endure. Joe was one of 170 Allied airmen who were illegally sent there. Only through sheer acts of will and unity were many of those men spared the camp’s most common fate of death. 
  Even after he made it out of Buchenwald, Joe’s story was initially not believed, with many thinking he was over-exaggerating the horrors he experienced and witnessed. Of course, that is not the case, and Clavin spares no detail in retelling it.
