Life Michael 1958-2009 $19.95 From this book's first chapter: "To be able to float free, with gravity exerting no impact. To live in Neverland. To be idolized to be loved by millions around the world. "These seem completely unreasonable dreams. But from a boy from Gary, Indiana, who was special from the first, they became more than dreams. They became fundamental needs. And they were achieved during a lifetime that was stunning in its highs and lows, and that was, ultimately, far, far too short. "Far too short and, more sadly still, perhaps poised for a triumphant next chapter. We will never know." While that is true we will never know we can revisit and celebrate that extraordinary life, and we do so in words and pictures in this special commemorative book. Although Michael Jackson lived just 50 years, he spent the great majority of that time in the public eye. We loved him as a boy, radiating joy and dancing up a storm in the Jackson 5, his falsetto tenor pouring forth from car radios coast to coast. We were subsequently thrilled by his reinvention as the biggest pop star on the planet, with "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" blasting from boom boxes around the world. The best pictures from each era are here. As you would expect, LIFE magazine, then the country's preeminent photo journal, was onto the Jackson 5 story early in fact, we put the family on our cover when Michael was still a lad. He made the cover several more times, and he allowed LIFE exclusive access to his private California sanctum called Neverland. We have combed through our archives and found all the famous shots as well as several surprises, including never before seen pictures that show the boy and then the man in anunguarded, personal way. Also, we have taken the best from the portfolios of the world's top rock 'n' roll photographers and created, we think, a complete picture of this endlessly compelling entertainer. Michael Jackson was, like Sinatra, Elvis, the Beatles and few others, a celebrity who not only made us smile but changed the culture who altered the way that we looked and behaved. In this book, we relive his thrilling life and times, which were our time too.

My Life in France by Julia Child $14.95 Julia Child singlehandedly created a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, but as she reveals in this bestselling memoir, she was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julia's unforgettable story – struggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty year long marriage that took them across the globe – unfolds with the spirit so key to her success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the last fifty years.

Physical Geography II: Life in Mesozoic Times (DVD) $29.95 This program explores the major life forms, which lived during the Mesozoic Era, the time span from 245 million years ago to 65 million years ago. At the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, the major landmasses were joined together into a supercontinent called Pangaea so animals could easily move from place to place. Temperatures were much warmer than they are today and even the ice caps at the north and south poles were absent. In this environment life flourished and we saw the development of huge, reptile like animals such as the dinosaurs. Life during Mesozoic times also occurred in the oceans and new plant forms, including flowering plants began to spread across the earth. About 65 million years ago most of the larger dinosaurs vanished and this program discusses why this "extinction event" took place. Run Time: 20 min. Grade Levels: 8 12

A wealthy and depressed man (thanks to the economy he's not quite rich enough to expand his cache of paintings by Vincent Van Guy, the famed Dutch realist) bound for Christmas in the tropics is abruptly summoned home to North Dakota to visit an ailing aunt. He arrives just in time to be trapped there by a blizzard. The electricity goes out, and when it does, figures from his childhood appear, and historical figures too, for a festive candlelit holiday. In his reverie, our man reaches an epiphany worthy of the season...he hears the harkening angels sing, he is awed by the silence of the night (dead quiet: not even TV) and when he is finally rescued, leaves North Dakota resolved to simplify his life.
