When journalist Abigail Long gets her own column--Abigail's Party--she is propelled into the sparkling world of celebrity, champagne and canapés. Seduced by the bright lights and sound-bites, she swaps real friends and true love for late nights and laminated invitation. As launch party follows launch party and premiere follows premiere, the circuit becomes increasingly addictive.With a full diary but an empty life without old mates and comfort food, the glamour of mingling with the stars soon begins to tarnish. After a close relationship with the hottest new actor in town, Abigail suddenly finds herself on the other side of the lens. And so she begins her final descent into true canapé hell.My Canapé Hell is a sharp, witty debut which offers a wry insider's view into the world of PR, parties and professional small talk. It is a biting and wickedly funny satire on the celebrity circuit from a talented new novelist... v angličtine, brožovaná, 277 strán, malý formát

Lance Armstrong tour de force

Spisovatel: Coyle Daniel, CollinsWillow 2005
Katalogové číslo: G3484

Lance Armstrong's achievement has been one of the most astonishing in recent sporting history, not least for the reasons detailed in the book's strapline: tough guys, flawed heroes and one man's battle for ultimate supremacy. This is the remarkable story of a man who triumphed over all the odds a behind-the-scenes record of the 2004 professional cycling season and the manner in which Armstrong landed his sixth Tour de France victory. What makes the book particularly inspiring is the fact that Armstrong is no superman,he talks about the many strikes against him /his age, the dissolving of his team and most of all his triumph over potentially lethal illness /his struggle against cancer is, of course, well-known/.Coyle takes us from the cyclist’s turbulent youth in Texas through his many achievements in the cycling field /notably his near loss in the 2003 tour/, and his massive struggles against a series of disasters that would have floored most of us: his difficult divorce and subsequent separation from his children and, finally, the terrifying revelation of his cancer. The section on the various solutions that Armstrong tried /including new age healers and radical Italian sports doctors/ makes for particularly fascinating reading: as Armstrong realised that his solutions lay elsewhere, there is a genuinely inspirational note here.Equally fascinating are the descriptions of his obsessive fans, the mind games he was forced to play /both with his opponents and corporate heavyweights/, and, of course, his much-publicised relationship with rock star Sheryl Crow. The climax, his victory in the 2004 Tour de France, rounds out one of the best sport biographies in years.... v angličtine,tvrdá väzba,bez obalu,330 strán,farebná obrazová príloha

We take so much for granted the familiar forms fo government - parliament, cabinet, ministries, law courts, and local authorities - that we are apt to forget which features constitute the essntial elements of rule.
