      From sport and leisure to the workplace, from the countryside to the city and from shore to shore,'Britain Past & Present' presents the amazing social changes that have taken place over the last 150 years. By contrasting beautiful black and white images with colour photographs of the same activities, this fascinating review of Britain reveals how patterns of work hae changed as well as how Britons spend their free time.With an illuminating commentary on each set of images, 'Britain Past & Present' reflects on great royal occasions, national obsessions and unique events, such as Henley Regatta and the Derby, plus changes to our urban areas like London's Docklands and the impact of technology on our daily lives.Offering a unique window on the differences that successive generations have witnessed, this is a delightful look at Britain, yesterday and today.Janice Swinglehurst is the author of many books including 'The Queen: 40 Glorious Years'. The late Edmund Swinglehurst is the author of over 20 books including 'History of the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland'.

    • "This collection of famous paintings by Auguste Renoir shows all aspects of his work, from the famous Dance at the Moulin de la Galette, an important landmark in the history of Impressionism with its many figures seen in dappled sunlight, to the charming Girl with a Watering-Can, and an example from the monumental nude Bathers series."--

      Children make one of the most attractive themes in Western art, and there are few more satisfying images than the innocence, joy, and often, mischief of childhood captured for all time by some of the world's greatest painters.

    • Francisco de Goya, one of Spain's greatest painters, has been called a classical painter and the first of the moderns--the latter because of his great influence on the 19th century French artists. But the breadth of his genius ensures that Goya defies such categorizing, as the superb paintings in this book demonstrate. They show Goya in all his moods.
