Surrounded by the sea, cut by as many canals as streets, the city of Venice is unique. Built on fill reinforced with pilings made of huge tree trunks, it defies nature and belief. No city has been more often painted or written about, and it has been a tourist destination for centuries for its food, cafe and street life. But Venice is dying, literally sinking into the sea, and its beauty has drawn so many visitors that ordinary citizens can no longer afford to live there. Paolo Barbaro returned to Venice after a career abroad and in this illuminating book he describes the rediscovery of a city, which has lost none of its power to charm, dazzle and take one's breath away. The passion in the author's plea for the salvation of his native city has a deeper source than nostalgia. If humankind cannot stir itself to save Venice, what hope is there for other endangered cities, places and animals?

Venice, known to the Italians as La Serenissima, is unlike any other part of Italy reflecting the fact that it was a republic until the second half of the nineteenth century. Now, the award-winning author Peter Ackroyd is to publish his definitive work on Venice and this is the film of the book...a major celebration of one of the most important architectural wonders of the world and a city under threat.Following the huge success of London: the Biography Peter Ackroyd is applying the same technique to Venice and the result will be surprising. Well be uncovering the hidden city by supping the rhythms of the lagoon not only day but also by night. This renowned author famed for his work on great architects such as Wren and Hawksmoor looks at the architecture, art, music and theatre of Venice. He also explores the legacy of the 1966 flood, worries about the effect of climate change and explains the work of those who work today to ensure that Venice survives to seetomorrow.

What made Norma Jean special was the quality she discovered when, bored with being a teenage bride with a husband in the Merchant Marine during World War II, she took her first and most enduring lover, the camera. At the age of 36, Marilyn Monroe died a Hollywood movie star and an American legend. Her rise to fame, however, had very little to do with her limited talents. Monroe infiltrated Hollywood, swarming with fake names and idealized careers, and pressed herself into its mold. Monroe's personal confessions, along with interviews with friends and contemporaries, reveal the truth behind this Hollywood icon.
