The beautifully illustrated book of Love Letters between Lee Miller and Roland Penrose begins when they first met at a fancy dress party in Paris, June 1937. Through the letters it tracks their love affair, adventures, creative work, involvement with the surrealist art movement, scandal and laughs to the background of a world that is building up to the beginning of the Second World War.

Lovers, collaborators, friends: the story of two inventive icons of 20th-century photography

This volume pays homage to Lee Miller (1907-77)--pioneer of Surrealist photography, war correspondent, muse and icon--and places her emphatically on a par with Man Ray (1890-1976), whose work tended to overshadow her both during her lifetime and subsequently. Through approximately 140 photographs by Miller and Man Ray, plus art works and archival imagery loaned by the Lee Miller Archives and Fondazione Marconi, Lee Miller & Man Ray: Fashion, Love, War reveals a deep but complicated relationship.
Man Ray met Miller in the spring of 1929 at a Paris bar called the Bateau Ivre. Miller was seeking photography lessons; Ray said he didn't take students and was about to depart for a vacation in Biarritz. So am I, she replied, becoming his apprentice and then lover. They soon established creative parity, and together discovered the solarization technique; solarized works by Miller were at the time frequently attributed to Man Ray. Alongside Miller's iconic war photography, Fashion, Love, War also presents portraits by Man Ray of friends and important protagonists of the time, such as Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Cocteau and Salvador Dalí, and Surrealist portraits of Miller.

November 1587. A report reaches London that Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition, which left England months before to land the first English settlers in America, has foundered. On Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina, a tragedy is unfolding. Something has gone very wrong, and the colony--115 men, women, and children, among them the first English child born in the New World, Virginia Dare--is in trouble. But there will be no rescue. Before help can reach them, all will vanish with barely a trace.
The Lost Colony is America's oldest unsolved mystery. In this remarkable example of historical detective work, Lee Miller goes back to the original evidence and offers a fresh solution to the enduring legend. She establishes beyond doubt that the tragedy of the Lost Colony did not begin on the shores of Roanoke but within the walls of Westminster, in the inner circle of Queen Elizabeth's government. As Miller detects, powerful men had reason to want Raleigh's mission to fail. Furthermore, Miller shows what must have become of the settlers, left to face a hostile world that was itself suffering the upheavals of an alien invasion. Narrating a thrilling tale of court intrigue, spy rings, treachery, sabotage, Native American politics, and colonial power, Miller has finally shed light on a four-hundred-year-old unsolved mystery.

Why does he not text you back? Why does he stay in the bathroom so long? What is he thinking? The Women's Guide to Understanding Men is a humorous and honest explanation of why men do what they do, and more importantly, how they became this way. This book is not about the predator, the harasser, or the creep. It's about the guy you love, the guy your work with, and the guy you wish you could be with. Understanding is the key word here, as it does not excuse or condone all behavior. Knowledge is power, and above all, this book is about female empowerment. It might not make you like guys more or less than you already do, but it will make you laugh out loud on every page, and feel like you have some insider information that others end up trying to seek in tarot, horoscope, and therapy.

How America is Being Destroyed from Within begins with a literary analysis of impactful 1960's events which created a shift in America for the following 60 years moving America from a more conservative nation to one being much more liberal. America limped through the Vietnam War years, the precarious impact of the civil rights movement, and the woman's liberation movement which redefined a woman's role in the home. Other 1960's events played a big role in setting the tone for today's polarization, socially, culturally, and politically.
Today we have a number of political issues playing out which are destroying America all arising from the ashes of the turbulent 1960's and the swing in political leadership working to move the Country to left of center. These left leaning, rich, and some corrupt politicians are no longer working for middleclass Americans.

Lee Miller retrieves the voices of Indian people over five centuries and weaves them into an alternate history of the continent, while introducing us to the grandeur and diversity of the 500 nations who held this land before the first European set foot on it. Here, collected in one volume, is the testimony of more than 250 Indian civilizations--of the Aztec king Moctezuma, the Seminole leader Osceola, Tecumseh, Cochise, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Sarah Winnemucca. Through their eyes, we see the shaping events of the past in a radically different light, one that is tragic yet shows courage in the face of adversity.

Extraordinarily moving. . . . A haunting and eloquent anthology that serves as a testament to the courage and the nobility of Native Americans in the face of physical and spiritual genocide. --Booklist
