New York, New York, U.S.A.: Time Books, 2002. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 11 1/4h X 9 1/4w. A wonderful 128 page first edition hardcover. Product description Synopsis: On March 21, 1952, rock roll was forged in fire as Alan Freeds Moondog Coronation Ball in Cleveland ended up in a riot when frenzied fans stormed the arena. There was a new sound and it caused an entirely new reaction: loud, passionate, no-holds-barred. This was rock roll, and even as things were getting out of hand in Cleveland, a producer named Sam Phillips was debuting his Sun record label in Memphis, the future launching pad for Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and, of course, the King, Elvis Presley. In the 1960s came the Beatles. Bob Dylan counseled Dont Look Back, and rock never did, as the music defined the times: the Whos My Generation, the Rolling Stones Street Fighting Man, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Youngs Woodstock.Today, rock lives on, and not just in reunions of KISS and Yes, nor in age-defying gigs by Aerosmith. It has seeped into our culture and into the new music. It changed America then, and, at 50, it continues to do so., Time Books, 2002, Great Britain: Countryside Books. Very Good. 1995. Reprint. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0905392957 Paperback Paperback. Hertfordshire Headlines. This book looks at news stories from the county's past which made the national press in their day. Some caused scandal and outrage; others excitement and celebration. All of them were front page news in the era before the arrival of radio and television. They include the horros of the railway crash at Royston in 1866, the fight to save poisoner Mary Ansell from the hangman's noose in 1899, the riots at Watford over the postponement of the Coronation in 1902, the fury at the hopeless inadequacy of fire fighting equipment when Gaddesden Place went up in flames in 1905, and the jubiliation that followed the shooting down of 'Zeppelin' SLII over Potters Bar in 1916. Richard Whitmore has been collecting news stories and early photographs of Hertfordshire since he was a junior reporter on the Hertfordshire Express in the early 1950s. As one of the nation's favourite newsreaders, his face became known to millions. His book makes fascinating reading as he brings to life the drama of early news coverage in Hertfordshire.

For London the worst has happened. There have been riots, uncontrolled fires, outbreaks of savage looting, artillery battles, mass flights. The great city lies three parts deserted, open to marauding gangs and beast-wild individuals, its highways and landmarks tumbled like ruined temples. To Mark, comparatively safe in less troubled Highgate, there comes a message that his estranged wife is dying in Wimbledon, right across on the far side of the dangerous bowl of the devastated city. Reluctant almost to sticking-point, he sets out to go to her. His journey is a story of adventure through the ruins. As he presses on through the debris, he is always driven, because he knows that Jasmine will die soon... H. R. F. Keating brilliantly extends the scope of his considerable talent to describe a perilous walk through a dark, violent and lawless London, a desperate journey which becomes more than a personal odyssey of mercy.
