Summary: The extraordinary life of one of America's mots iconic entertainment sex symbols is explored with this extended box set of features and documentaries depicting different aspects of her complicated character and career. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortenson on June 1, 1926 and lived a brief but remarkable life of 36 years. She fought hard for the fame and recognition that she felt was deserved and then, when success was finally achieved, she was crushed beneath the wight of it. She was a true artist that is unfortunately remembered more for her iconic images and controversial alliances than her extraordinary acting and singing talents. Much has been written about Norma Jean by many who never knew her. She became world famous under the stage name of "Marilyn Monroe," but her on-screen appearances are in stark contrast to the love issues, exploitation, abuse of power, and drug addiction she faced in her private life. In the years since her death, after thirty movies, three marriages, the first Playboy edition cover shot, and singing to an American president, many books and films have been produced about her place in American pop culture.

As the mystery of Dalton's disappearance unfolds, the lives of the wealthy couple and those who live in the barracks below become insidiously entwined"--Dust jacket flap.

Summary: "The author of The Mountain Baker takes her motto--"Desserts for everyone!"--to the next level with these allergy-friendly bakes. One of the most common allergens after dairy and peanuts, eggs are often thought to be a necessity in baking. But what eggs do contribute to your sweets--fat, flavor, structure, fluffiness, moisture--can actually be found in countless alternative ingredients that are easy to find. And with meticulous experimentation, Mimi Council has tested them all: aquafaba (the liquid in a can of chickpeas) for fluffiness, yogurt for flavor and structure, cornstarch for thick and creamy custards, and more. Explaining the role that eggs--and other powerhouse ingredients--play in baking, Mimi ensures that readers understand exactly how and why her recipes work. From classics like Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Chip Cookies, to original creations like Orange Cardamom Loaf Cake, Lemon Poppy Seed Biscotti, and Raspberry Rhubarb Tart, these desserts are flawless. Colorful photographs and easy substitutions for vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free bakes make this book a diet-friendly delight"--
