Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: Farewell

In November 1993, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis took a tumble from her horse during a hunt in Virginia. A scarce six months later, on May 19, 1994, this revered, fascinating woman of substance, style, and steely will passed away in her Park Avenue home. Farewell, Jackie, by bestselling author Edward Klein - who knew Jackie for more than a dozen years - is the moving account of those last months and a celebration of the life of an American icon who faced death as she faced life - with all the bravery and grace of a woman who had long inspired the nation. From the moment she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Jackie embraced a renewed spiritual life and embarked on her final journey in the company of her children, grandchildren, and Maurice Tempelsman, the man who brought her joy and companionship.
No other person in modern times has been so thoroughly scrutinized, writes Klein. And yet, the climactic moment of Jackie's life - in which she orchestrated her own death as masterfully as she orchestrated the funeral of her assassinated husband - remains shrouded in mystery. This book lifts that veil.
Klein chronicles the circumstances of Jackie's diagnosis, the astonishing pace of the cancer's progress, the treatments she endured, and the ones she refused. In recounting this heart-wrenching story, he also celebrates Jackie's life -- her accomplishments and her hopes for John and Caroline. Farewell, Jackie is a regal tribute and an inspiring account of the last days of a woman whose legacy endures in post-Camelot America.

Antony Worrall Thompson's GI Diet

Welcome to a new way of dieting. The Glycaemic Index diet has long been used by people with diabetes to manage their weight and regulate their blood sugar, and it is now recommended as a safe, healthy and permanent way for anyone – including Kylie, Bill and Hilary Clinton, Steve Redgrave and Naomi Campbell – to shed pounds. Proven to be far more effective in the long-term than any other diet, the GI Diet does not eliminate any food groups. This means that not only is it a healthy approach to weight-loss, but you are far less likely to 'fall off the wagon' due to food cravings. Antony Worrall Thompson's GI Diet includes a full introduction to the Glycaemic Index and 120 fantastic recipes, with luscious colour photography. This is the diet you have been waiting for!
How does it work? Simple: low GI foods take longer to digest, so you feel fuller for longer. Leading GI dietitian Mabel Blades has simplified it so all you need do is follow her advice and watch the weight fall off. This book also answers the key questions: why are sweet potatoes better than ordinary ones? And, most importantly, why does chocolate have a low GI?
How does it taste? Supervised by Dr Mabel Blades, the UK's best-loved chef Antony Worrall Thompson has devised 120 tasty recipes, combining modern ingredients with his trademark flair for simple, satisfying food. Dishes include Blueberry Muffins, Orange and Almond Cake, Jumbo Prawn and Mushroom Salad, Fish Pie, Spicy Chicken Fillets and Summer Pudding: irresistible recipes which will not only help you lose weight but also help to reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
