Do you have a modern or a modernised house with central heating and good windows, yet you still feel cold? Are your energy bills rising year on year? Do you have a tool bag and some spare weekends? If the answer is, 'Yes', then this is the book for you! Written for the DIY enthusiast, this jargon-free manual gives practical instructions on how to bring any home up to 21st-century insulation standards. This book explains how to insulate the areas that housebuilders of a previous era neglected. It tells us the latest thinking about moisture and ventilation and shows us how to avoid common DIY lining pitfalls, of which weak mountings and moisture traps are two common mistakes. This book is in two parts. Part I shows in detail how to insulate and line the insides of our walls. This is probably the most effective insulation task we can do in a house. Yet, wall insulation is often overlooked in favour of a better heating system or window replacement: "How can it be," we ask, "that I have a modern, well-insulated home, yet it is still cold?" The answer is in the walls. Part II of this book adds methods for adding insulation below floors, onto ceilings and ways of improving the performance of existing windows. It also discusses the sealing of draughts and the opposite issue, ensuring adequate ventilation. Like the other books in the DIY HOME INSULATION series, Walls, Windows Floors and Ventilation uses the author's own house in England as a case study, with accompanying photographs from his insulation work.

We all know from our school science days that heat rises. By insulating our roof spaces, we can stop heat leakage and literally put a lid on our energy bills. The materials required are available in most DIY shops and the costs are not excessive. In an era of rising energy prices, the incentive to stop wasting heat from the top of our houses is a strong one. Attics and Lofts is written for the DIY enthusiast. It explains in jargon-free detail, with illustrations, how to do tasks unique to a home's roof space. For example, how to make an attic access hatch, how to remove ceiling downlights and how to avoid moisture traps caused by rising air entering a cold space. This book is in two parts - Part I is about insulating unconverted attics and Part II concerns the relining of existing loft conversions. It uses the author's house in England as a case study, with accompanying photographs from his insulation work.

The definitive exploration--told in revelatory detail--of the writing, recording, and release of John Lennon's celebrated and magical fourth solo album Mind Games, and the era that inspired it.

A birthday gift book, featuring quotations by John Lennon

The description for this book, Lennon-isms, will be forthcoming.

John Lennon wrote "Skywriting by Word of Mouth," an impressive collection of writings and drawings, while Yoko was pregnant with Sean, and always planned to have it published. It was a wish that seemed to end with his assassination in 1980 and the subsequent theft of the manuscript from the Lennons' home in 1982. When it was recovered and first published in 1986, "Skywriting" received immediate critical and popular acclaim. Written in Lennon's extraordinary voice, and lavishly illustrated with his own drawings, the collection reveals his fertile creative spirit up close and in full force. Included in "Skywriting" is "Two Virgins," written when the public learned that John and Yoko were living together as husband and wife, and John's only autobiography. In addition there are notes on his falling in love with Yoko, the breakup of the Beatles, his persecution by the U.S. authorities and his withdrawal from public life. This is a book with John Lennon's spirit on every page -- a spirit the world needs to remember.
