This book traces the development of Sunderland's twin seaside resorts from the isolated scattered farmhouses and deserted beaches of the mid-nineteenth century, through to the growth of Roker as a rising seaside resort with congested promenades and crowded beaches, to its decline in popularity after the Second World War when Roker's 'little sister', Seaburn, expanded. The inclusion of Fulwell within the Borough boundaries in 1928 gave the Corporation of Sunderland the opportunity to 'open out' Seaburn and fulfil their ambitions to become the leading North East coast resort town. Despite interests and holiday destinations changing over the past two decades, however, and the fact that our resorts have seen better days, Wearsiders are still attracted to the seaside when the sun shines. Seaburn and Roker are held in affection where we return with out children and grandchildren to give them their first experiences of exploring the sand with bucket and spade, plodging, searching rock pools for sea life, building sand castles and the thrill of a ride on the fair. As well as compiling an illustrated history of Seaburn and Roker the authors have provided Wearsiders with a massive dose of nostalgia which will create an awareness and appreciation of Sunderland's interesting and beautiful coastline.

The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognisable buildings in the world. Fusing ancient and modernist influences and situated on a site sacred to the Gadigal people for thousands of years, it is Australia’s premier tourist attraction, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site and one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world. While the tale of The Sydney Opera House is one of breathtaking triumph, it is also one of personal cost. Its Danish architect, Jørn Utzon (1918–2008), left Australia midway through construction and never returned to see his masterpiece completed – a building that, according to Frank Gehry, ‘changed the image of an entire country’. This souvenir guide traces the history of this extraordinary building – one that is synonymous with inspiration and imagination – through a beautifully realised combination of photography, text and quotes.

Onnin ja Toivon seikkailu on kertomus kahden hyvin erilaisen olennon ystävyydestä ja yhteisestä matkasta. Onni-sammakko törmäsi Toivo-hiireen aivan sattumalta. Toivo oli eksynyt perheestään ja oli kovin onneton, Onni puolestaan oli ollut matkalla jo jonkin aikaa mutta tunsi itsensä hyvin yksiäiseksi. Niinpä Onni pyysi Toivoa mukaansa etsimään vanhaa viisasta Pöllöä, jolta Onni halusi vastauksen hyvin tärkeään kysymykseen.

"What can I do to feel better?" For years, millions of adults who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have asked this question, often to be met with scientifically unfounded or inadequate advice. The low-FODMAP diet is the long-awaited answer. In clinical trials, over three quarters of people with chronic digestive symptoms gain significant relief by reducing their intake of FODMAPs--difficult-to-digest carbs found in foods such as wheat, milk, beans, soy, and certain fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sweeteners. In The Complete Low-FODMAP Diet, Sue Shepherd and Peter Gibson explain what causes digestive distress, how the low-FODMAP diet helps, and how to: - Identify and avoid foods high in FODMAPs - Develop a personalized and sustainable low-FODMAP diet - Shop, menu plan, entertain, travel, and eat out with peace of mind - Follow the program if you have IBS, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or diabetes, and if you eat a vegetarian, vegan, low-fat, or dairy-free diet. And, with 80 delicious low-FODMAP, gluten-free recipes, you can manage your symptoms, feel great, and eat well--for life.
