Pantsuits, polyester, plaid and Pucci crowded the closets of every happening man and woman in the 70's. The psychedelic style of the 60's had a greater impact on 70's fashion than the creation of the I'm With Stupid tee-shirt. If a generation is defined by what they wear, it's no surprise that the era of Technicolor, disco and roller skates was immortalized by baby boomers who knew what innovation, style, creativity, and self-expression meant. 70's Fashion Fiasco dishes up the skinny on 70's style with men and women's clothes, slang, fads, designers, hair do's and don'ts, and trivia.

Samantha Bennett dreams of marriage. But, before she can fall in love with her dream guy, she needs to fall in love with herself. Easy, right? Sam’s life is perfect until she finds out her boss wants to shag her and her fiancé is shagging someone else. Willing to do anything to avoid confrontation, she escapes to Australia packing her newly broken heart right next to her beloved flares and platform shoes. It’s only after running into a hunky Italian Stallion that she discovers even 3,000 miles isn’t far enough to escape a troubled love life. And with this man’s nasty habit of stalking, she’s going to be hard pushed to escape him, too. Add in a new career as the go-to designer for the pampered pups of Melbourne, and a nasty dog-napping case, and Sam has her hands full. Sick of looking over her shoulder and needing to concentrate on her fledgling business, she’s close to swearing off men altogether when she meets Chris. This Australian is different to any man she’s ever met, he might even be her dream guy. He might also be too good to be true. This series is full of bad language, bad behaviour and poorly executed Farrah Fawcett hairstyles. While laugh-out-loud at times, the books also touch on real life, making them raw in places.

Here, John Badham, the acclaimed director of Saturday Night Fever, WarGames, Short Circuit, and many other classic films, unveils the secrets of directing and the techniques behind great action and suspense films.

Named Sports Illustrated's best football book of all time and a #1 NYT bestseller, this is the classic story of a high school football team whose win-loss record has a profound influence on the town around them. Return once again to the timeless account of the Permian Panthers of Odessa -- the winningest high-school football team in Texas history. Socially and racially divided, Odessa isn't known to be a place big on dreams, but every Friday night from September to December, when the Panthers play football, dreams can come true. With frankness and compassion, Pulitzer Prize winner H. G. Bissinger unforgettably captures a season in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires -- and sometimes shatters -- the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms. The inspiration for the hit television program and film of the same name, this anniversary edition features a new afterword by the author.

From "Hong Kong Phooey" to "Jonny Quest", from Sid and Marty Krofft to Hanna-Barbera, brothers Kevin and Timothy Burke, who as kids watched plenty of television, celebrate all that made Saturday morning TV great. 158 photos, 8 in color.

Against this backdrop of political upheaval and social unrest, a young boy discovers Australian Rules Football and the man who will shape his destiny - St Kilda star Trevor Barker.

Taking up where FEVER PITCH left off, SATURDAY AFTERNOON FEVER is the poignant and funny memoir of one socially confused football fan's painful journey into adulthood and the ups and downs of his beloved club's bumpy ride into the 1980s and beyond.
