  Making Mary Poppins reveals the extraordinary true story behind the creation of one of the most beloved films of all time―and the two little-known songwriters who helped make it possible. 
  Long before Mary Poppins danced across the rooftops and into the hearts of millions, Robert and Richard Sherman were struggling songwriters in Los Angeles, trying to find their voices―and their futures. In this vivid and deeply researched narrative, author and Disney historian Todd James Pierce traces the unlikely path that brought the Sherman brothers to Walt Disney's attention, and how their personal history, musical genius, and emotional lives shaped the film's unforgettable songs and surprising storyline. 
  From their early days writing novelty tunes to the high-stakes drama of working with P. L. Travers and Walt Disney himself, the Sherman brothers' story is rich with behind-the-scenes intrigue, creative breakthroughs, and quiet triumphs. Their work on Mary Poppins not only launched their careers―it transformed Disney's live-action division and influenced an entire era of musical filmmaking. 
  Filled with never-before-published details, Making Mary Poppins is a story of art, ambition, and resilience.

Their 1967 break-out album Surrealistic Pillow includes two songs, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", that are among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". The October 1966 to February 1970 lineup of Jefferson Airplane, consisting of Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums), was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1964. During the band's "classic era" into the early 1970s, the lineup included keyboardist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist Ray Thomas, drummer Graeme Edge, guitarist Justin Hayward, and bassist John Lodge. Their second album, Days of Future Passed, which was released in 1967, was a fusion of rock with classical music which established the band as pioneers in the development of art rock and progressive rock. The band has sold 70 million albums worldwide, which includes 18 platinum and gold LPs. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

  Released in 1979, AC/DC's Highway To Hell was the infamous last album recorded with singer Bon Scott, who died of alcohol poisoning in London in February of 1980.  Officially chalked up to ""Death by Misadventure,"" Scott's demise has forever secured the album's reputation as a partying primer and a bible for lethal behavior, branding the album with the fun chaos of alcoholic excess and its flip side, early death.  The best songs on Highway To Hell achieve Sonic Platonism, translating rock & roll's transcendent ideals in stomping, dual-guitar and eighth-note bass riffing, a Paleolithic drum bed, and insanely, recklessly odd but fun vocals.Joe Bonomo strikes a three-chord essay on the power of adolescence, the durability of rock & roll fandom, and the transformative properties of memory. Why does Highway To Hell matter to anyone beyond non-ironic teenagers?  Blending interviews, analysis, and memoir with a fan's perspective, Highway To Hell dramatizes and celebrates a timeless album that one critic said makes "disaster sound like the best fun in the world."

  Why do millions of people around the world love Scottish dancing?
  What makes it so special?
  
  Heel for Heel is a joyful celebration of all the genres from the centuries-old Highland Dancing to the evolving reels, Scottish Country Dancing, ceilidhs and Step Dance that spread throughout Scotland and beyond. The story mirrors the delight of the guests at 'Mairi's Wedding' going 'heel for heel', whether in a boisterous jig or a graceful Strathspey.
  Cindy Gray, a keen dancer herself, invites you to discover the universal appeal of Scottish dance. She tells the story of Scottish dance through the stories of fellow enthusiasts including Scots at exuberant ceilidhs, Samburu tribesmen learning a giddy 'Eightsome Reel', Canadian children immaculately dressed for 'The Sword Dance' and reelers at glittering balls in Venice, Oman and India. Her amusing anecdotes and illuminating reflections are enhanced by vibrant photographs.
  This book is a MUST for anyone who enjoys Scottish dancing – or who fancies they might – and for everyone drawn to stepping out gaily, 'heel for heel and toe for toe'!

  The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
  Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
  “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
  First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
  Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
  Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
  For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).
