With Prince William and his wife Kate these days, we hang on each and every one of their doings: They go out, they take a walk, they see the queen, they take in a horse race, they play Scrabble-we pay attention. But LIFE deals with the big events, as we have done in a series of recent books on the history of the English Royals, on Queen Elizabeth II upon the occasion of her Jubilee, on the 50th anniversary of Lady Diana's birth and, of course, on the wedding of the Cambridges. Now we return to the story with this special commemorative volume, published quickly upon the birth of Will and Kate's first child. We visit, in words and pictures, previous royal births of note, dating to Queen Victoria and even before. In a special section, we look at the young family of Elizabeth II, when Charles was in knee pants. We detail Will and Kate's happy marriage so far: the honeymoon, the Olympics, the travels around the world, the exciting days leading up to the birth of their baby. When LIFE first came on the American scene in 1936, we knew this-the Royals-was one of our stories. It still is.

Son of the eccentric Adolphus, seventh and favourite son of George III, Prince George was born in 1819 and was briefly heir presumptive to the throne of England until the birth that same year of his cousin Victoria. Instead he became George, second Duke of Cambridge, and rose to be Commander-in-Chief of the Army aged 37, holding that position for 39 years. Often considered a hidebound reactionary, he nonetheless took a keen interest in reform of the Army, and made considerable efforts to improve the soldier's lot. In the year that the title of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was bestowed by HRH the Queen upon Prince William and Catherine Middleton on the morning of their wedding, this charming, substantial and formidably researched life of 'The Royal George' has a renewed topicality.

Brown and Normore show how Descartes accounted for the complex and diverse objects of human experience within his metaphysical system. They argue that, far from reducing them all to two basic categories of substance, mind and body, he recognized irreducible composites that resist reduction and require their own distinctive modes of explanation.

The Instant New York Times Bestseller "From “Family Guy” to his own Instagram account, Janetti has been behind some of his generation’s greatest comedy. This book of essays is no exception." — The New York Times Fans of David Sedaris, Jenny Lawson, and Tina Fey... meet your new friend Gary Janetti. Gary Janetti, the writer and producer for some of the most popular television comedies of all time, and creator of one of the most wickedly funny Instagram accounts there is, now turns his skills to the page in a hilarious, and poignant book chronicling the pains and indignities of everyday life. Gary spends his twenties in New York, dreaming of starring on soap operas while in reality working at a hotel where he lusts after an unattainable colleague and battles a bellman who despises it when people actually use a bell to call him. He chronicles the torture of finding a job before the internet when you had to talk on the phone all the time, and fantasizes, as we all do, about who to tell off when he finally wins an Oscar. As Gary himself says, “These are essays from my childhood and young adulthood about things that still annoy me.” Original, brazen, and laugh out loud funny, Do You Mind If I Cancel? is something not to be missed.
