    • This richly illustrated book overs the career of a pop music legend, form the child star whose infectious lead vocals catapulted the Jackson 5 into the spotlight, tot he feeding frenzy that surrounded the announcement of a new tour in summer 2009. Michael Jackson was just 11 years old when "I Want You Back" topped the Billboard chart in 1970. Countless hits followed both with the Jackson 5 and during his solo career. His 1979 platinum album Off the Wall yielded four Top Ten hits, but it was his follow-up, Thriller, which became the best-selling album of all time, earning Jackson an unprecedented seven Grammy awards. The superstar is credited with redefining the music video, with Thriller being widely regarded as the best music video ever, while his famous "moonwalk" became his signature move, just as his single sequined glove became his trademark look. Michael Jackson had charisma. He was a flamboyant showman, a dazzling performer who owned the stage. His death brought down the curtain on a turbulent life, but did not end his reign as the King of Pop. He lives on through his extraordinary body of work, which will ensure that his regal status lives on.

      Association Football was born on 26th October 1863, when eleven clubs met at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen Street, London. The next two decades spawned the world's first cup and league competitions. The early years were faltering ones: the 1873 F.A. Cup Final kicked off at 11am to avoid clashing with the Boat Race; and at the world's first official international fixture between England and Scotland in 1872, the attendant photographer refused to record the event for fear of being unable to sell his pictures. His concerns were soon allayed: football became the people's game at home and spread to all corners of the globe. Lavishly illustrated with superb photographs from the archives of the Daily Mail, Images of Football provides a fascinating pictorial record of football in England, the cradle of the Beautiful Game.
