The great Charles Laughton once said Bronson "has the strongest face in the business, and he is also one of its best actors." Pretty high praise for an actor who, though loved by fans worldwide, has been consistently underestimated by critics. Bronson's career has spanned five decades, from such television appearances in The Fugitive, Rawhide, Bonanza and Have Gun, Will Travel as well as the telemovie A Family of Cops (1995) and its two sequels. He will long be remembered for his role as urban vigilante Paul Kersey in the Death Wish films. Bronson is one of the most enigmatic, and also most recognizable, of all film stars.

A collection of poems and illustrations from one of Britain's dangerous category 'A' prisoners, Charles Bronson, formerly Michael Peterson. The poetry indicts the anachronistic penal system for what Bronson says they did to him.

Menacing Face Worth Millions: A Life of Charles Bronson is the first definitive biography of legendary screen actor Charles Bronson. Charles Bronson was the silver screen legend who forever changed America's - and the world's - idea of the leading man's looks: a poverty-stricken young man who became one of the most popular, highly-paid film stars of his day. No movie that Charles Bronson ever made can equal the reclusive life he led and the contradictions of his own hidden self. In this definitive retelling of Bronson's life - the first fully documented biography of the star - Brian D'Ambrosio looks at the vigilante tough guy's life and legacy and explores the events and issues that made him emblematic of his time.

Charles Bronson, also known as Michael Gordon Peterson, is a British criminal who is notorious for his violent behavior both inside and outside of prison. Born in 1952 in Aberystwyth, Wales, Bronson had a difficult childhood, marred by poverty, bullying and abuse. He began his criminal activities at a young age and spent his early years in and out of prison for various offenses, such as robbery and assault. Bronson's notoriety increased in the 1970s and 80s, when his violent outbursts in prison grabbed headlines and gained him infamy. He spent long periods in solitary confinement due to his aggressive behavior, and even took hostages at times. Despite his violent tendencies, Bronson became something of a cult hero, admired by some for his rebelliousness and unconventional ways. He also developed a reputation for being physically strong, even performing as a bare-knuckle boxer and writing books about his criminal exploits. He has been in prison for over four decades, making him one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners.

The Tortoise Tales Written and Illustrated by Sally Scott Guynn Bindi Irwin meets Uncle Remus or a cross between Nat Geo and Disney is how some are describing this endearing new children's book cleverly disguised to both teach and entertain. Ezra, a wise old giant of a tortoise, narrates nine original animal stories to a girl riding on his back. Separate stories star fictional animal characters facing situations similar to our own--bullying, social acceptance, or how about a monkey with a personal hygiene issue, an embarrassed fireless dragon, lazy caddisfly larvae underwater and under siege, a brave grackle orphan, a minority goat who thinks he's a cow, a clever chameleon, a vain magpie queen, and an eagle and owl mystery sleuth duo? They all discover it's not always the strongest, the best looking or the smartest that can save the day but how courage, trust, compassion and teamwork can change the most extreme of social challenges into something pretty awesome. Glossaries and discussion questions offer reading bonuses along with the author's compelling art. Count on an increased interest in nature.
