John Lennon: the stories behind every song 1970 - 1980 / Du Noyer, Paul 2010  Book
Du Noyer, Paul Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Carlton Books Limited, 2010.
Description 175pMaroon spine
Summary/Abstract This unique book recounts John's life after The Beatles in this fascinating and revealing track-by-track analysis of the stories behind each song that he wrote. Lennon's life in these years was eventful and fascinating. He moved from superstardom in the world's biggest pop group to being a global peace campaigner and figurehead for radical causes. He left England for a new life in the USA with Yoko Ono. There was a bizarre interlude of 18 months - his famous "lost weekend" - when John ran off with Yoko's secretary May Pang and descended into alcoholism. Reunited with Yoko, he abandoned public life and retired to his New York apartment to raise their son and live the life of a recluse. In 1980 he re-emerged with a new album, but the plan to resume his career was cruelly curtailed on that fateful night outside the Dakota Building in December 1980.
Contents Shining on John Lennon/​Plastic Ono Band Imagine Some time in New York City Mind games Walls and bridges Double fantasy Milk and honey Long lost John

Tsunami : The World's Most Terrifying Natural Disaster / Geoff Tibballs 2005  Book
Geoff Tibballs Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Carlton Books Limited, 2005.
Summary/Abstract Before 26 December 2004, while many people knew what a tsunami was, few had any idea of the wholesale destruction that one could cause. All of that changed as a powerful earthquake deep in the Indian Ocean triggered the deadliest tsunami in history. Over an area of more than 2,000 miles, entire towns were flattened and at least 300,000 people swept to their deaths as the giant wave devastated everything in its path. This book, illustrated with powerful photography and containing dozens of graphic eyewitness accounts, chronicles in detail the terrifying events surrounding one of the worst natural disasters in modern history.
