The history of jazz is a long and varied one, from its beginnings in the whorehouses and bars of the turn of the century, to the top top concert halls of today. Encapsulating the embryonic forms of New Orleans, trad, boogie-woogie, and the ragtime of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin and Fats Waller, this book follows the progress of jazz through the big bands and jive artists such as Paul Whiteman, Bix Biederbecke, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Cab Calloway, and Louis Jordan to the present day, via the innovative bop sounds of the 50s and 60s with Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie and the modern sounds of Andy Shepard, John Surman, Wynton Marsalis, Elton Dean, and Courtney Pine. Special consideration is given to the talent of the past decade and among its 2,000-plus entries, the book also contains entries on the various noted orchestra and band sidemen, the composers, arrangers and label owners.

Larkin, Colin [General Editor]

"The Guinness Book of Espionage" is an insight into the hidden world of the spy - from the earliest existing secret document (an ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet) and the first professional espionage networks, to the roles of MI5, the FBI (and their successors), the KGB (and its Russian successor, the FIS). It also looks at the roles of secret service organizations in domestic policing, at future trends in espionage and the role that technology has to play in the development of espionage. Illustrated throughout, this title charts the history of subterfuge and explains the role of the agent, the setting up of safe-houses, the ins and outs of computer hacking, the problems of communications, and the need for espionage during wars. It also explains how espionage differs from subversion and terrorism and asks: is there such a thing as a typical spy? Packed with case histories, and including profiles of history's most infamous secret agents, plus a comprehensive glossary, "The Guinness Book of Espionage" should appeal to armchair spies everywhere. The author has strong connections with the armed forces and has served in Europe, the Falklands, and the Middle East. His experiences in the fields of surveillance and counter-espionage give him a unique insight into the world of "counter-intelligence". "Mark Lloyd" is a pseudonym.

From the grimly funny tale of the mis-design of a British World War I aeroplane whose gunner risked decapitation every time he turned to fire at the enemy, to the tragedy of the Anglo-American invasion of Sicily in 1943, this book presents a selection of blunders from the history of aerial warfare. The principal focus is on the post-1914 era, but the book also examines early abortive attempts at manned flight and the use of balloons in warfare.
