Even movie stars are human enough to gain weight, then lose it, only to put on more than ever before. But for them the consequences are all the more devastating. When it happened to Elizabeth Taylor, it was in the glare of media bulbs and the unblinking public eye. When she finally looked hard at herself in the mirror, she said, "I could not believe what I had become." In this frank, compelling account, Elizabeth tells what it was like to go from screen goddess to downright fat, before her own horrified eyes. She talks about this life's wear and tear that drove her to eating extremes and about the unforgiving eye cast upon her by friends and fans alike. By turns poignant and funny--"Oh no, Great White Whale," she says to herself at one point, mid-diet, on her way to the refrigerator--Elizabeth is as honest as those who know and admire her would expect her to be. In this very personal account, she takes a hard, long look at the role self-esteem has played in her own life. She examines our weight-obsessed era and the ramifications it has on someone who goes from one glorious extreme to its opposite. And she reveals the courage and perseverance it took to turn herself around--to climb to even greater glory than before. Elizabeth Taylor's triumph is, as she puts it, "a victory for anyone who has ever lost their self-image and self-esteem," and she generously shares what she's learned--including her personal diet and exercise system and invaluable weight-loss tips--to encourage others to achieve the joy and redoubtable energy that come with winning back your self-esteem. Photographs throughout book.

"The incredible inside story behind the corruption of Imelda and Ferdinand Marcos and the involvement of American business, organized crime, the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House." - from the outer jacket front cover. "In this meticulously documented, headline-making book, Sterling Seagrave, author of The Soong Dy nasty, describes how, under Marcos, Manila became an international hub for money-laundering, narcotics traffic, gambling, white slavery, and child prostitution. He tells of Ferdinand's steamy affair with actress Dovie Beams and how Imelda got her revenge by forcing him to turn over to her some of the enormous wealth and power he had seized during his ruthless rise to political prominence. He exposes the truth about Ferdinand's claims of being a hero during World War II and the military, political, and financial support he received from four U.S. administrations as he turned the Philippines into a police state of boundless corruption. FInally, he takes a hard and fascinating look at persistent rumors that the main source of the Marcos millions is "Yamashita's Gold" - Japan's World War II booty looted from a dozen Asian countries and buried in the Philippines. For the first time, Seagrave breaks the legend open, tells us whether or not the treasure really exists, and exposes the involvement of U.S. mining experts, London and Australian gold traders, members of the John Birch Society, and high-level American military figures associated with Iran-scam." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Fine unread condition forest green boards, maroon spine and bright gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Glossary; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and maps. "Welcome To Nineteenth-Century England. Was the Chancery Court really as bad as Charles Dickens made it out to be? Did husbands really sell their wives at fairs, as Henchard does in The Mayor of Casterbridge? What is pudding? And why was it such a favorite English dish? What was the order of precedence? Does an earl rank higher than a baronet? Nineteenth-century England was long ago and far away. Anglophiles and readers of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, the Brontes, and Thomas Hardy know that the intricacies of English daily life are a puzzle. This unique book, which decodes the rituals of the aristocrat and the commoner, is a godsend. Not a history and not a collection of dry footsteps, this is a book of engaging and vivid description that transports you to nineteenth-century England and reveals the facets of daily life as Dickens and Jane Austen and Trollope - and their readers - actually experienced them. Here are accounts of such major institutions as the dinner party, the army, marriage, the London season, the universities, and proper etiquette. Learn why the cavalry was chic, how a hostess ran a house party at one of the grand country estates, why young ladies avoided second sons, what the "tripos" and a "double first" were at Cambridge and Oxford, and when to shout "Tally Ho!" at a fox hunt. In addition, discover the grim reality of farm life in Thomas Hardy's Wessex in Southern England and the truth about debt and hard times in Dicken's London. For quick reference, a separate glossary explains at a glance - briefly and concretely - what and when Michaelmas was; the difference between a half crown and a shilling; what happened at the assizes; what a barouche was; who the Lord Chancellor was; and a host of other peculiar and intriguing aspects of nineteenth-century English life. What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew is thoroughly researched and a delight to read. Another time and place come fully alive in theses pages. This book will surely enhance the pleasure of anyone who has ever devoured the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy or been caught up in the lives of David Copperfield or Tess of the d'Urbervilles." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
