    • This richly illustrated book overs the career of a pop music legend, form the child star whose infectious lead vocals catapulted the Jackson 5 into the spotlight, tot he feeding frenzy that surrounded the announcement of a new tour in summer 2009. Michael Jackson was just 11 years old when "I Want You Back" topped the Billboard chart in 1970. Countless hits followed both with the Jackson 5 and during his solo career. His 1979 platinum album Off the Wall yielded four Top Ten hits, but it was his follow-up, Thriller, which became the best-selling album of all time, earning Jackson an unprecedented seven Grammy awards. The superstar is credited with redefining the music video, with Thriller being widely regarded as the best music video ever, while his famous "moonwalk" became his signature move, just as his single sequined glove became his trademark look. Michael Jackson had charisma. He was a flamboyant showman, a dazzling performer who owned the stage. His death brought down the curtain on a turbulent life, but did not end his reign as the King of Pop. He lives on through his extraordinary body of work, which will ensure that his regal status lives on.

      Association Football was born on 26th October 1863, when eleven clubs met at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen Street, London. The next two decades spawned the world's first cup and league competitions. The early years were faltering ones: the 1873 F.A. Cup Final kicked off at 11am to avoid clashing with the Boat Race; and at the world's first official international fixture between England and Scotland in 1872, the attendant photographer refused to record the event for fear of being unable to sell his pictures. His concerns were soon allayed: football became the people's game at home and spread to all corners of the globe. Lavishly illustrated with superb photographs from the archives of the Daily Mail, Images of Football provides a fascinating pictorial record of football in England, the cradle of the Beautiful Game.

    • Zaplněna více než 900 fotografiemi z archivů Daily Mail, kniha vypráví příběh 60 let Formule 1, od vzniku mistrovství světa v roce 1950. První Velká cena se konala na přelomu 19. a 20. století, ale oficiální mistrovství světa začalo až v roce 1950 pod záštitou Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile. Uplynulo šest desetiletí od vítězství Nino Fariny v jeho Alfě Romeo. Pouze 30 mužů si nasadilo vytouženou korunu, mezi nimiž jsou legendární jména jako Fangio, Clark, Senna a Schumacher. Lewis Hamilton se k této elitní skupině přidal v roce 2008 jako nejmladší člen. Mnozí z jezdců přišli o život při snaze o vítězství, což ukazuje, jaká oddanost je potřeba a jaká cena může být zaplacena. Formule 1 je nezapomenutelným sportovním dramatem, které přitahuje titány dráhy i miliony diváků po celém světě. Každý závod je baletem rychlosti 350 km/h, kde lidská chyba, mechanická závada nebo náhoda mohou okamžitě změnit triumf na tragédii. Bohatě ilustrovaná kniha zachycuje historii mistrovství světa pilotů od roku 1950 až dodnes, vypráví příběh o soupeření, střetech, intrikách, šlechetnosti a kamarádství v motoristickém sportu.

      Tato ilustrovaná biografie vás bude prostřednictvím jedinečných fotografií a zajímavých informací postupně provázet bouřlivými osudy fenomenální skupiny Beatles; od jejích liverpoolských začátků v létě 1962, kdy spolu John, Paul, George a Ringo začali v létě hrát, přes dobu, co si Beatles zamiloval celý svět a vypukl hotový blázinec, až do jejich rozpadu v roce 1970, což však v žádném případě neznamenalo konec legendy. Jejich skladby, vzešlé z čirého génia Lennona a McCartneyho, zasáhly obrazotvornost mladých i starých a prostá přítomnost skupiny na pódiu často doháněla teenagerské posluchače k hysterickým slzám. Beatles byli popovým fenoménem, který definoval šedesátá léta, a jejich dědictví je živé dodnes.

    • Kniha Dějiny zločinu vypráví prostřednictvím dobových zpráv z listu Daily Mail o životech a skutcích neblaze proslulých zločinců 20. století. Text doplňují autentické archivní snímky, z nichž mnohé dosud nebyly publikovány.
