Cinematographer David Watkin perfectly captured its dangerous beauty in Sydney Pollack’s blockbuster film Out of Africa whose aerial panoramas accompanied by the dreamy musical score of English composer John Barry, including Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and haunting African music, looked down into a Garden of Eden with Kikuyu tribesmen, wildlife - and colonial invaders.

She did get there in the end, to the relief of all celebrity watchers. She looked pretty stunning in that candy-pink ensemble, but the wide-brimmed hat did obscure her view somewhat. Probably not at a once-in-a-lifetime event with the eyes of the world watching – but didn’t we all feel for US pop starlet Katy Perry as she searched in desperation for her seat? Although many speculated it was Meghan Markle sneaking into the Abbey, or Princess Diana come to haunt her former husband on his special day, or even the ghost of Queen Elizabeth, Westminster Abbey later clarified the figure was a verger there to assist with the service. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was not even paying attention to the girl on his lap wearing only a thong.

She was going to get what was coming to her so much that she would not know what hit her. He wondered if she had lied about her name too. A gold-digging deceptive snake was what she was. She had been the one to steal his gold wristwatch, phone, and the 100 dollar bills in his wallet after she drugged him. He was blinded by the supposed love he had for her. ![]() Right then, he wondered how someone so hot and sexy could be a virgin. Somewhere deep down he had been prepared to settle with her. He hadn't even touched her because she lied that she was a virgin and wanted to wait. For two months straight, she had been extorting thousands of dollars from him.

This spring brings us not one but two picture-book biographies about the great primate researcher Jane Goodall. ![]() ![]() ![]() The way the book weaves it all together makes for great listening. ![]() Even if you're already familiar with most of these stories, this book offers some wonderful tidbits not found in other places. Many of the missions are considered the greatest in history, but have never before been collected into one volume that captures the full sweep of Barrow's program. While many of the journeys failed, Barrow and his men ultimately opened Africa to the world, discovered Antarctica, and pried apart the mandibles of the Arctic. ![]() They struggled under budgets that forced them to resort to pulling enormous ships across floating ice fields to eating mice, or their own shoes and even to horrifying acts of cannibalism. His explorers often died of sickness or at the hands of unfriendly natives. From the first disastrous trip down the Congo, Barrow maintained his resolve in the face of continuous catastrophes. For the next 30 years, his teams of elite naval officers went on missions to fill the blanks that littered the atlases of the day. Fergus Fleming captures the passion for exploration that led a band of men into situations that would humble today's bravest adventurers.Īfter the Napoleonic wars, John Barrow, Second Secretary to the Admiralty, launched the most ambitious exploration program the world has ever seen. ![]() Barrow's Boys is a spellbinding account of perilous journeys to uncharted areas under the most challenging conditions. ![]() ![]() ![]() The stakes turn out to be higher than she - or we - ever imagined: nothing less than the health, development, and futures of our girls. ![]() She dissected the science, created an online avatar, and parsed the original fairy tales.

Could today's little princess become tomorrow's sexting teen? And what if she does? Would that make her in charge of her sexuality - or an unwitting captive to it? And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages.īut, realistically, how many times can you say no when your daughter begs for a pint-size wedding gown or the latest Hannah Montana CD? And how dangerous is pink and pretty anyway - especially given girls' successes in the classroom and on the playing field? Being a princess is just make-believe, after all eventually they grow out of it. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as a source - the source - of female empowerment.
