No name is more synonymous with suave sophistication and danger than James Bond. And no actor filled the spy''s black calf oxfords more often-or with quite the eyebrow-up charm-than the late Roger Moore. Witty and stylish, Moore, who died in May 2017, embodied the spirit of Ian Fleming''s globe-trotting secret agent in Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, and five other 007 classics. In LIFE Bond.

Let''s talk about Mary. Not everyone needs a brother or sister or savior, or accepts that a savior has arrived historically or will do so one day. But everyone once had a mother. We all need the mother figure, and if any confirmation of this basic fact is required, it lies in the great respect shown "Mary" or "Miriam" by other religions. Jesus does not necessarily figure as a vessel of salvation for Muslims and Jews, but He is held in high regard, and the young woman who gave birth to Him and raised Him is praised. Whoever she was, she must have been substantial, smart and strong. She must have been a fine mother.

In 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand-who was in line for the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire-propelled Europe into a war unlike any the world had ever seen.

By the time the armistice arrived the following year, empires had fallen and 15 million combatants lay dead. And for the United States, the consequences of the decision to get involved would reverberate throughout would come to be known as the American Century, and still echo today. Includes: How the actions of teenage Bosnian nationalists set the war in motion-and why European leaders could not (or would not) stop it The birth of modern warfare and the brutal results that came with poison gas, airplanes and tanks American leaders facing a future in which isolation is no longer an option How the underprepared U.S. military helped put an end to years of war-and emerged one of the world''s great fighting forces Plus: the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations and how they failed to avert an even more cataclysmic war two decades later

Celebrating the release of Walt Disney''s much-anticipated live-action version of the beloved 1991 animated feature, LIFE delivers the fascinating story behind the fairy tale itself-from its hidden origins as an ancient, sometimes bawdy story told by firesides (did you know the beast was once depicted as a pig?) to its later incarnations as a Brothers Grimm tale, a classic French film, a hit television series-even an opera. Culminating in a behind-the-scenes look at the new musical starring Emma Watson, this is an enchanting look at the enduring power of a story that began "Once upon a time..."

In the late 1940s, perhaps the greatest archeological find of modern times occurred when Bedouin shepherds unearthed mysterious scrolls in a cave near the Dead Sea, just south of Jerusalem.

But what was the connection between the documents and the ruins of an abandoned nearby settlement known as Qumran? Like some holy, historical cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, LIFE''s book follows the race to unearth-and decode-the many other manuscripts hidden in the desert caves.
