Elizabeth
Fully revised and updated. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history, with a reign even longer than Queen Victoria. Her extraordinary life is expertly portrayed by Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, in this magnificent visually led biography. On February 6, 1952, Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, became Queen on the death of her father, King George VI. The reign that was to see major changes both in the country and Commonwealth and in the role of the monarchy began far away from Britain in a game reserve in Kenya. Elizabeth: A Celebration in Photographs, looks at this remarkable period in the history of Britain's monarchy in lavish and fascinating detail, featuring over 250 photographs. Constantly under scrutiny the entire time she was on the throne, this book presents a balanced and absorbing account of the Queen's life and of her role as the head of state in a country and a world that have changed almost beyond recognition in the seventy

Elizabeth Catlett
A richly illustrated rediscovery of Elizabeth Catlett: printmaker, sculptor and tireless advocate for human rights Born in Washington, DC, Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) moved to Mexico in 1946. Still, her artwork always remained attuned to the Black American experience. Her expressive linocuts of sharecroppers, fieldworkers or, more symbolically, 'survivors' depicted the lived realities of Black men and women, while her prints of Harriet Tubman and Phyllis Wheatley constructed a new national history. Catlett's body of work shares both aesthetic and theoretical sensibilities with major regional movements and their figures: women sculptors and printmakers working in Europe, including Barbara Hepworth and K the Kollwitz; Black American artists operating in an overtly political vein including John Woodrow Wilson and Jacob Lawrence; and members of the modernist 'Mexican School,' including her partner, muralist Francisco Mora. In the late 1950s Catlett transitioned from printmaking to

Elizabeth Taylor
The first authorised biography of eternal legend Elizabeth Taylor. Known for her glamorous beauty, soap-opera personal life and magnetic screen presence, Elizabeth Taylor was the twentieth century's most famous film star. Including unseen photographs and unread private reflections, this authorised biography is a fascinating and complete portrait worthy of the legend and her legacy. Elizabeth Taylor captures this intelligent, empathetic, tenacious, volatile and complex woman as never before, from her rise to massive fame at the age of twelve in National Velvet to becoming the first actor to negotiate a million-dollar salary for a film, from her eight marriages and enduring love affair with Richard Burton to her lifelong battle with addiction and her courageous efforts as an AIDS activist. Using Elizabeth's unpublished letters, diary entries and off-the-record interview transcripts as well as interviews with 250 of her closest friends and family, Kate Andersen Brower tells the full, unvarnished story of the classic Hollywood star who continues to captivate audiences the world over.
