The first deployment of the V-1 was in June 1944 when, following two years of tests, Hitler gave the order to attack England. Known to the Allies as the "Buzz Bomb" or "Doodlebug", the V-1 was the world's first cruise missile. This book explores the V-1 in detail, from its initial concept, first use in 1944, the various Allied counter-measures, and the later use of the V-1 during the Battle of the Bulge. The major foreign derivatives, including the US copy "JB-2 Loon" and numerous post-war Soviet variants, are also covered.

O DRAMA ÉPICO DO NASCIMENTO E MORTE DE UM DOS MAIORES PERSONAGENS DA HISTÓRIA DA MÚSICA David Bowie: a construção de Ziggy Stardust desvenda todas as influências que trouxeram Ziggy Stardust à vida. O livro mais importante já escrito sobre a persona que Bowie incorporou por um ano, documentando o drama épico da passagem curta e memorável do Starman por nosso planeta, e explicando por que Bowie teve que o matar. Foi a maior invenção na história da música pop — o deus do rock que veio das estrelas, uma ideia que atingiu o jovem David Bowie como um raio. O brilhante alienígena chamado Ziggy foi uma figura revolucionária, por muitas razões. Como ele mesmo se descreveria: "Parcialmente enigmático. Parcialmente fóssil". Quando o alienígena glam pousou na Terra, Bowie transformou-se na superestrela que mudaria a música para sempre. Ele era o kabukimono. Ele era a "Ode à Alegria" de Beethoven. A invasão marciana de H. G. Wells. A sinfonia cósmica de Gustav Holst. O semblante de Greta Garbo no século 20. O relâmpago num panfleto dos camisas-pretas. O rock de Elvis Presley e o roll de Little Richard. O objeto não identificado piscando no radar da Força Aérea. O buraco escavado pelo Professor Quartermass. Ele era a loucura de Vince Taylor. A superfície de Andy Warhol e a alma do Velvet Underground. O mistério solitário de Moondog. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Ele era Iggy Pop. Era tão esquisito quanto uma laranja mecânica. Ele era todas essas coisas, combinadas em uma criatura fabulosa. Esse ser chamado Ziggy Stardust.

The first biography of David Garnett goes beyond stereotype and myth and presents a clear sighted account of this often contradictory figure at the centre of literary London in the era of the Bloomsbury Group. Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize for best biography 2016 Book of the Year 2015 Sunday Times Book of the Year 2015 Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2015 Evening Standard Book of the Year 2015 New Zealand Listener Shortlisted for the Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize 2015 Literary Sensation, Lover, Libertine, Family Man Award-winning novelist and towering figure of the 20th century British literary landscape, David Garnett was a Bloomsbury insider ultimately pushed to the margins. In this, the first biography of Garnett, (known as Bunny), author Sarah Knights – who has had unprecedented access to Garnett's papers – goes beyond stereotype and myth to present a clear sighted account of this often contradictory figure. Trained as a scientist, Garnett worked as a novelist and wrote exquisite prose. Lady into Fox was made into a Rambert ballet and Aspects of Love into an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. In the First World War, he was a conscientious objector whereas in the Second he worked for British intelligence. A free love enthusiast, he nevertheless married. He loathed literary criticism but became a leading literary critic. Born into the Victorian period, Garnett's life spanned two World Wars, the Swinging Sixties and beyond. From pre-Revolutionary Russia, by way of Indian Nationalists in London and carefree Neo-Paganism, Garnett's early life was packed with adventure. Propelled by a desire to be constantly in love, he dazzled men and women, believing the person mattered, irrespective of gender. An overnight literary sensation in the 1920s he was at the centre of literary London. Confidante and mentor of many writers, T. E. Lawrence, Rupert Brooke, D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells, were among his friends. Garnett felt most at home with the Bloomsbury Group, in particular with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, his lover, with whom he lived during the First World War. Their long friendship was threatened, however, when Garnett's cradle-side prophecy to marry their daughter Angelica came true. David 'Bunny' Garnett is brought to life by Ben Lloyd-Hughes and Jack Davenport in the BBC series 'Life in Squares'.
