The institution of monarchy in Britain is in deep crisis. Scarcely a day goes by without some new revelation about the private life of one or other of the Royals splashed all over the tabloid newspapers, and public interest in the House of Windsor is more feverish and obsessive than ever. This is a comprehensive biography of the woman who has, for more than 40 years, been the British Head of State. Pimlott looks at the life of the Queen in the round: from the standpoint of the justly curious citizen, and from that of the historian, sociologist and constitutional lawyer, arguing that the constitutional role of the Queen is subtly potent, and by no means merely decorative or symbolic. The book attempts to provide some of the answers to the British fixation with the monarchy - as well as the Queen's relationships with her parents, husband and children. |

HMS Queen Elizabeth 2 is the most celebrated craft afloat and one of the greatest technical achievements of the 20th century. In her construction and maintenance are involved almost every science, profession, and trade known to civilization. On her bridge stand officers, who besides being the pick of the Royal Navy, have passed rigid examinations in all studies pertaining to winds, tides, currents, navigation, and the geography of the sea.For 91 days, author Bernard M. Patten, MD, sailed around the world on this ultimate cruise ship. What was it like onboard this most luxurious of luxury liners? "Marvelous, simply marvelous," he assures the reader with obvious enthusiasm that spills off every page. Determined to give the reader the complete QE2 experience, Patten and his wife Ethel systematically stayed in progressively better accommodations from the least expensive class ("Mauritania 5") to the Penthouse Suite, which included their own butlers, Geoffrey and Paul. Along with the Pattens, readers will experience (vicariously) every deck, every restaurant, and every level of luxury that this incredible ocean liner has to offer. Whether you’re a cruise buff, or planning your own stay aboard this fabulous ship, or just want to take a trip in your imagination on a cold rainy night, Cruising on the Queen Elizabeth 2 will provide you with interesting information, entertaining stories, and ample pleasures. |

Peace and war, triumph and disaster, joy and sadness-- the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has encompassed them all. This sumptuously illustrated book takes you on a journey through the fifty years of her reign, from the stage-managed opulence of the coronation to the informalities of everyday life.
Photographer Tim Graham has specialized in royal subjects over many years and gained unprecedented access to events, capturing both the public pomp and the preparations that go on behind the scenes. Thus we see red carpets being swept, state carriages undergoing repairs, robes being laid out, and rehearsals taking place to create the colorful occasions that are the hallmark of the British monarchy.
The half century from 1952 to 2002 has been a time of turbulence and change for the whole world, and, like all of us, the Queen has had to endure good times and bad: five wars, ten prime ministers, three poet laureates, numerous weddings, six grandchildren, several divorces, and more banquets than she can remember.
Since the day she declared to the nation, 'My whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service,' the Queen has applied herself to duty with diligence, loyalty, and discretion. In return, she is held in great affection and esteem around the world, and this beautiful book celebrates her remarkable fifty-year reign.
