Humorous and inspirational quotes from America's 43 Presidents "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" —Ronald Reagan "Fighting battles is like courting girls: those who make the most pretensions and are boldest usually win." —Rutherford B. Hayes "The pay is good and I can walk to work." —John F. Kennedy The President of the United States of America is the most powerful person in the world, the leader of the world's foremost economic and military power with global interests and an unparalleled global reach. The nation's GDP is close to a quarter of the world's total and its military budget is almost as great as the rest of the world's military expenditure put together. So when U.S. Presidents speak people listen. Since George Washington became the first President of the United States in 1789, 42 men have occupied that powerful position, some more memorably than others. Many have been great orators, whose words have given hope and inspiration to the American people, and even the world, during difficult times; some have had very little of note to say and some have sought to deceive; while others at times have managed to put their feet firmly in their mouths. Illustrated with photographs throughout, this book is a celebration of the political rhetoric, wisdom, humor, and gaffes that have been spoken and written by those 43 Presidents of the United States.

This series of ten books, each devoted to a decade of British life and containing around 300 photographs from PA Photos huge archives, spans the whole of the 20th Century. Hand-picked by PA Photos own archivists, most of these images have lain unseen since they were used as news pictures when they were first taken. Each image has been scanned especially for these books, many from glass plates, ensuring the best possible quality of reproduction. It is easy, looking back, to imagine a past neatly partitioned into clearly defined periods and dominated by landmarks: wars, political upheaval and economic trends. But the archive tells a different story: alongside the major events that constitute formal history are found the smaller things that had equal - if not greater - significance for ordinary people at the time. And while the photographers were working for that moments news rather than posterity, the camera is an undiscriminating eye that records everything in its view: to modern eyes it is often the backgrounds of these pictures, not their intended subjects, which provide the greatest fascination.
