Product Description:
The history of Time—from its inception to its iconic status today—recounted by its world-famous editors, art directors, and stellar cast of contributors.
Time is a fascinating look at the history of the world's most influential newsweekly. The complete compendium is illustrated with hundreds of covers and archival photographs, featuring the work of the twentieth century's most respected journalists, editors, and photographers—from Eddie Adams, Neil Leifer, Dirck Halstead, and David Hume Kennerly, to David Burnett, Gregory Heisler, Matt Mahurin, James Nachtwey, and Diana Walker, who together won more major photo awards for Time than all other publications combined. This volume explores Time's documentation of seminal moments in history, including the moon landing, the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and September 11th. It investigates the reasons behind Time's "Man of the Year," transitions in design, the creation of the symbolic red frame, the important designers and illustrators, the covering of both hot and soft news, as well as the magazine's changeover to the 21st century and the creation of Time's international editions. |

The Middle East is rich in history - and saturated in blood. This small section of the world - the birthplace of three great religions - has become a tinderbox, where cultures clash in seemingly endless rounds of violence. Now "Time" explains the current crises in Lebanon, Israel and Gaza by illuminating the complicated history of this fascinating, tortured region and profiling the swirl of cultures, religions and ideologies that drive its key players. Here is the story of the Middle East in our times, from the founding of Israel to the advent of the Islamist terrorists. Here are the answers to the questions concerned Americans are asking: Why do they fight? How can the region's tensions be resolved? Who will shape the future? Where can we look for hope? And, most important, when -if ever -will we see peace in the Middle East? Rich with "Time's" brilliant photo journalism, this volume brings perspective, understanding and insightful analysis to the world's foremost hot spot: the Middle East's crescent of crisis. |

Product Description:
Written by an expert teacher, this hands-on book for kids 7-12, brings "Aha!" experiences into kids' lives as they become grounded in basic science concepts, have fun discovering how science is all around them, and help build their confidence as science sleuths. The book covers aspects of earth, physical and life sciences--dovetailing with the school science curriculum--as kids tackle various activities to satisfy their natural curiosity. Easy-to-do experiments are clearly laid out, requiring readily available materials, and accompanied by full-color step-by-step illustrations, making science come alive in the home. Sidebars or wrap copy extend the hands-on approach to include answers to questions kids often ask about the subject matter: "Why is the sky blue?" might accompany a light refraction activity, for example. "What causes volcanoes to erupt?" would be paired with a "make a volcano" experiment. Interesting facts, "Top 5s" and "Did You Knows" are sprinkled throughout the book. A special bonus section gives kids (and their parental science partners) suggestions, tips and ideas to excel at school science fairs, as well as a model for the scientific inquiry method of observing, questioning, hypothesizing, experimenting and concluding--the exact process that scientists use in their work. The book will be co-branded with Mad Science--the world's leading science enrichment provider. They offer unique, hands-on science experiences for children that are as entertaining as they are educational. Mad Science is a global consumer brand with a strong connection to its customers. Their North American franchisees deliver over 200,000 presentations a year, and reach over 4.8 million children and their families. |

During the Vietnam War, Time reporter Pham Xuan An befriended everyone who was anyone in Saigon, including American journalists such as David Halberstam and Neil Sheehan, the CIA's William Colby, and the legendary Colonel Edward Lansdale—not to mention the most influential members of the South Vietnamese government and army. None of them ever guessed that he was also providing strategic intelligence to Hanoi, smuggling invisible ink messages into the jungle inside egg rolls. His early reports were so accurate that General Giap joked, "We are now in the U.S. war room." In Perfect Spy, Larry Berman, who An considered his official American biographer, chronicles the extraordinary life of one of the twentieth century's most fascinating spies. |
