Is this Beautiful or what?
To say that Jamaica holidays are memorable doesn’t even scratch the surface.
This is the island where time stands still, so expect to relax more completely than ever before.
Not that you won’t be busy! There’s a phenomenal range of things to do here, especially if you like to be outdoors.
Rolling hills contrast with steep gullies and the towering Blue Mountains beg to be explored. Dunn’s River Falls is also breathtaking – both the view and the climb! Your holiday in Jamaica could just be about lying on the beach or it could include trekking through tropical forests, horse riding on the beach, rock climbing up waterfalls, rafting upriver…
Or else how about a relaxed round of golf on a championship course, or just some great shopping and a nice lunch? There’s really something for everyone here.
The island’s strong musical culture is everywhere too – Bob Marley’s legend and music really does live on here, and if you’re a fan, be sure to visit Nine Mile – his birthplace in Jamaica. Holiday makers who like things a bit lively choose the Montego Bay resort – it has a vibrant ‘Hip Strip’ with a good selection of bars and shops.

Truth about Muhammad, The founder of.....
In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam – perhaps the first such portrait in half a century – unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad’s life that continue to affect our world today.
Spencer details Muhammad’s development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause.
He explains how the Qur’an’s teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed, with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.

Pope John Paul
“Rise, let us be on our way.” “Let us go forth full of trust in Christ. He will accompany us as we journey toward the goal that He alone knows.” — John Paul II
Drawing on the period when – as Karol Wojtyla – he became a bishop in 1958 through his appointment as the first Polish Pope in 1978, Pope John Paul II fills Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way with both recollections of his own life and his thoughts on issues facing the world now.
Pope John Paul II reminisces about everything from being called to Warsaw during a canoeing trip to be told he was being named a bishop of Krakow to his clashes with authorities to protect the church in Poland and the clandestine meetings he organized to find help. He also discusses topics like his passion for theatre and the controversy of celibacy amongst priests.
More than just a collection of memories, however, Rise Let Us Be On Our Way is also a call to action. In discussing issues like the strength of mercy, the importance of harmony between faith, reason and the heart, and the necessity of encouraging children to pray, Pope John Paul II shows us that with little steps, we can change the world.

The Beatles
“Though works on the band are legion, this remains one of the best.”—Library Journal
“His hard work and the obvious trust the Beatles have in him allow us to see the young musicians for the first time as interesting, fallible, corporeal creatures, each quite different from the others, each with his own history and hang-ups and hopes.”— Newsweek
As the friend and only authorized biographer of the most famous musical group in history, Davies had full access to the Beatles as well as their help and encouragement in writing this biography.
He spent eighteen months with them when they were at the peak of their musical genius and the pinnacle of their popularity, making a mark on history and popular culture that would never fade. Davies stayed on with the Beatles through their breakup and remained friends with the individual members afterwards, enabling him to write the continuing story of their solo careers.
First published in 1968, this revised edition has added information, including a new introduction. Hunter Davies, formerly an editor for the Sunday Times [London], is a prolific British author and journalist. He lives in London and in the Lake District.

Ian Fleming: The Man behind James Bond
“A rich life story is matched with an ideal reader. Andrew Lycett’s literate, well researched biography of Ian Fleming…is an absorbing account of one of the most fascinating figures of popular culture. Lycett’s sure grasp of the Bond novels also allows him to refer to pertinent and familiar scenes that reflect Fleming’s many travels and earlier experiences. Robert Whitfield narrates the text in clear, crisp BBC English…. [The] story is served well by a reader whose performance connotes a patrician equanimity and style.”—AudioFile
“A thoroughly researched, definitive portrayal of a complex man…. Lycett has also succeeded in separating the author from the phenomenon while putting both in the context of their times.”—Library Journal
Sportsman, womanizer, naval commander, world traveler, and spy, the creator of the Cold War’s archetypal secret agent was infinitely more complex and interesting than his iconic fictional character, Agent 007. Fleming’s wide ranging and exciting life inevitably provided the plausible backdrop for his Bond novels.
Highly regarded in British naval intelligence for his international contacts, he masterminded numerous top secret operations, including “Golden Eye,” which is uncovered here for the first time. He was also fundamental in shaping the prototype CIA.
Two months before his wedding to Ann O’Neill, the widow of a friend with whom he’d carried on a passionate affair for fifteen years, Fleming sat down to write his first book, Casino Royale, in order to soothe his nerves. Thus began the long line of Bond novels for which he would earn lasting fame

Audrey Hepburn: A Biography
“This engrossing biography is rich in details about the making of Hepburn’s films at a time in Hollywood—and the world—we may never know again.”—Library Journal
“May’s graceful portrayal of Hepburn is so authentic that the listener momentarily mistakes her for the genuine article.”—AudioFile
Beginning with her harsh childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland, Warren Harris chronicles Audrey Hepburn’s meteoric rise to Hollywood stardom: her chance encounter with Colette that led to the lead role in the Broadway version of Gigi, and her first starring role in Roman Holiday, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Hepburn played opposite the top leading men, worked for the best directors, and picked from a wide range of roles. She memorably embodied Truman Capote’s Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and went from rags to Technicolor Victorian beauty in My Fair Lady.
Warren Harris also traces Hepburn’s affairs and unhappy marriages, as well as her later work as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Throughout the book he illuminates her special ability to exude grace and style, both on screen and off.
