Spojenecká invaze 6. června 1944 v Normandii na fotografiích z průzkumných letadel. Pro plánování největší vyloďovací operace 2. světové války měly značný význam snímky pořízené průzkumnými letadly. Letecké fotografie odhalovaly nebezpečná místa na plážích, pobřežní opevnění, radarové stanice. Velmi zajímavá obrazová publikace obsahuje kromě leteckých fotografií z invazních pláží Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno a Sword v prvních hodinách po vylodění i snímky německých týlových objektů, spojeneckých přístavů i unikátní přímé pozemní záběry z vyloďovacích plavidel.

Jane Brannen wants nothing more than to become a famous author like Jane Austen--she just needs to figure out the key to literary success! Her chance to uncover the secret arrives when famous author J. E. Fairfax visits the tiny lobster town of Whickett Harbor, Maine. Unfortunately, a hurricane rolls in and Jane gets stuck with the author's snobbish son, Devon, instead. But when the skies clear, Jane realizes the wind has blown in something worse than annoying boys: Her mother, Susan, and Susan's new fiancé, Erik, have flown all the way from Hollywood to file for custody and bring Jane back to California. Now she needs to find a mate for her marine biologist father and figure out what's truly important about Whickett Harbor, so she can prove to her mother that this is where she's meant to stay.

The brilliant and combative autobiography from the most capped rugby player in history, Alun Wyn Jones.

Liam Geller is Mr. Popularity. Everybody loves him. But he's got an uncanny ability to screw up in the very ways that tick off his father the most. A Printz Honor author delivers a funny story about fathers, fashion, and faux pas.

When Troy (a hugely overweight social leper) befriends Curt (a skinny homeless punk guitar genius), they both get much more than they bargained for. Troy's macho brother and ex-Marine father think Curt is just a junkie loser - but as Curt stopped Troy's suicide attempt, Troy can't just forget him.
