Devil in a Coma - Mark Lanegan

One morning in March 2021 with the second wave of infections ripping through Ireland where he was newly resident, Mark Lanegan woke up breathless, fatigued beyond belief, his body burdened with a gigantic dose of Covid-19. Admitted to Kerry Hospital and initially given little hope of survival, Lanegan s illness has him slipping in and out of a coma, unable to walk or function for several months and fearing for his life.As his situation becomes more intolerable over the course of that bleakest of springs he is assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about a life lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. He is prompted to consider his predicament and how, in his sixth decade, his lifelong battle with mortality has led to this final banal encounter with a disease that has undone millions, when he has apparently been cheating death for his whole existence.Written in vignettes of prose and poetry, DEVIL IN A COMA is a terrifying account of illness and the remorse that comes with it by an artist and writer with singular vision.

Zpívej pozpátku a plač - Mark Lanegan

Zpověď kultovního muzikanta a příběh rocku v Seattlu devadesátých let. Mark Lanegan se na světová pódia dostal ze zaprášeného vidlákova jen díky svému čirému odhodlání - a kvůli nedostatku jiných možností. Jako frontman rockové kapely Screaming Trees byl svědkem vzestupu legend seattleské hudební scény. Osobnosti jako Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley z kapely Alice in Chains nebo Josh Homme z Queens of the Stone Age doprovázel Lanegan nejen do nahrávacích studií a na turné, ale také při honbě za heroinem a crackem po zaplivaných barech, bytech vyšinutých podivínů a feťáckých doupatech. Jeho příběh je zároveň příběhem devadesátkového amerického rocku ve všech jeho podobách. V nekompromisní knize Zpívej pozpátku a plač Lanegan vypráví o vlastní tvorbě i zákulisí showbyznysu, ale také o svém celoživotním boji s depresemi a závislostí. Na stříbrném hotelovém podnose - s plátkem citronu, aby se heroin líp rozpustil - servíruje sebevědomý i sebekritický intimní vhled do každodenních strastí vášnivého hudebníka a narkomana. Kniha roku podle Rolling Stone, Variety a dalších

Sing Backwards and Weep - Mark Lanegan

He tracks the tumultuous rise and fall of Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acid-rock bar band to world-famous festival favourites with an enduring legacy, and tells of his own personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness, petty crime, and the tragic deaths of his closest friends.Gritty, gripping and unflinchingly raw, SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP is about a man who learned how to drag himself from the wreckage, dust off the ashes, and keep living and creating.

Between the Devil and the Deep - Mark Cowan, Martin Robson

Deep underwater lurks a mysterious man-made illness. It has gone by many names over the years â “ Satanâ ™s disease, diverâ ™s palsy, the chokes â “ but today, medics call it decompression sickness. You know it as the bends. In the winter of 2012, British diver Martin Robson joined an expedition to southern Russia which sought to find a submerged cave system never seen by the human eye. On their final day, as Robson attempted to surface after reaching a record depth in the Blue Lake, disaster struck: just seventy-five feet down, he was ambushed by the bends. Forced to gamble on an underwater practice most doctors believe is a suicidal act, he sank back into the water. Soon, his only hope for survival was a dramatic mercy mission organised at the highest levels of the Russian government. Between the Devil and the Deep is the first book to tell the terrifying true story of what it feels like to get the bends, taking you inside the body and mind of a man who suffered the unthinkable. Writer Mark Cowan also explores the fascinating history of decompression sickness, the science behind what causes the disease, and the stories of the forgotten divers who pushed the limits of physical endurance to help find a solution.

The Devil in the Gallery - Noah Charney

Scandal, Shock and Rivalry Can Be an Artist⠙s Best FriendsScandal, shock and rivalry all have negative connotations, don⠙t they? They can be catastrophic to businesses and individual careers. A whiff of scandal can turn a politician into a smoking ruin. But these potentially disastrous ⠜negatives⠝ can and have spurred the world of fine art to new heights. A look at the history of art tells us that rivalries have, in fact, not only benefited the course of art, from ancient times to the present, but have also helped shape our narrative of art, lending it a sense of drama that it might otherwise lack, and therefore drawing the interest of a public who might not be drawn to the objects alone. There would be no Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo had rival Raphael not tricked the pope into assigning him the commission, certain that Michelangelo, who had never before worked with frescoes, would botch the job and become a laughing stock. Scandal and shock have proven to be powerful weapons when harnessed and wielded willfully and well. That scandal is good for exposure has been so obviously the case that many artists have courted it intentionally, which we will define as shock: intentionally overturning expectations of the majority in a way that traditionalist find dismaying or upsetting, but which a certain minority avant-garde find exciting. From Damien Hirst presenting the public with a shark embalmed in formaldehyde and entombed in a glass case to Marcel Duchamp trying to convince the art community that a urinal is a great sculpture shock has been a key promotional tool.The Devil in the Gallery is a guided tour of the history of art through it scandals, rivalries, and shocking acts, each of which resulted in a positive step forward for art in general and, in most cases, for the careers of the artists in question. In addition to telling dozens of stories, lavishly illustrated in full color, of such dramatic moments and arguing how they not only affected the history of art but affected it for the better, we will also examine the proactive role of the recipients of these intentionally dramatic actions: The art historians, the critics and even you, the general public. The Devil likes to lurk in dark corners of the art world, morphing into many forms. Let us shed light upon him.

Devil in the Stack - Smith Andrew

Throughout history, technological revolutions have been driven by the invention of machines. But today, the power of the technology transforming our world lies in an intangible and impenetrable cosmos of software: algorithmic code. In a world increasingly governed by technologies that so few can comprehend, who-or what-controls the future?Devil in the Stack follows Andrew Smith on his immersive trip into the world of coding, passing through the stories of logic, machine-learning and early computing, from Ada Lovelace to Alan Turing, and up to the present moment, behind the scenes into the lives - and minds - of the pioneers of the 21st century: those who write code. Smith embarks on a quest to understand this sect in what he believes to be the only way possible: by learning to code himself.Expansive and effervescent, Devil in the Stack delivers a portrait of code as both a vivid culture and an impending threat. By turns revelatory, unsettling and joyously funny, this is an essential book for our times, of vital interest to anyone hoping to participate in the future-defining technological debates to come.

A Little Devil in America - Hanif Abdurraqib

At the March on Washington, Josephine Baker reflected on her life and her legacy. She had spent decades as one of the most successful entertainers in the world, but, she told the crowd, I was a devil in other countries, and I was a little devil in America, too . Inspired by these words, Hanif Abdurraqib has written a stirring meditation on Black performance in the modern age, in which culture, history and his own lived experience collide.With sharp insight, humour and heart, Abdurraqib explores a sequence of iconic and intimate performances that take him from mid-century Paris to the moon -- and back down again, to a cramped living room in Columbus, Ohio. Each one, he shows, has layers of resonance across Black and white cultures, the politics of American empire, and his own personal history of love and grief -- whether it s the twenty-seven seconds of Gimme Shelter in which Merry Clayton sings, or the magnificent hours of Aretha Franklin s homegoing; Beyonce s Super Bowl show or a schoolyard fistfight; Dave Chapelle s skits or a game of spades among friends.

A world-renowned expert offers a focused, illustrated account of how Russian and Ukrainian armour fought during the crucial year of 2022, prior to the arrival of Western tanks. The invasion of Ukraine has seen full-scale mechanized warfare return to Europe. While Western armour and training has been a major part of Ukraineâ ™s army since 2023, in the first year of the war both the Russian invaders and the Ukrainians fought using their existing mechanized armies, in the most devastating and high-stakes war in decades. That year, Moscowâ ™s latest tanks (bar the still undeployable T-14 Armata) found themselves engaging Ukraineâ ™s modernized and customized Soviet-era tank fleet. World-renowned Russia specialist Mark Galeotti draws on rare Russian and Ukrainian sources to present a definitive account of the Russian and Ukrainian tanks that fought that year, before the first Western tanks arrived. He explores the rival tank armies, how they were used, and the ways they were modified in response to the emerging challenges of the war, and presents the reader with ORBATs and data on deployments new to the English-speaking world.

Working in the 21st Century - Mark Larson

From nurses and teachers to wildland firefighters and funeral directors—an intimate, honest, and illuminating collection of interviews that reveal what it’s like to work in America at this historic and volatile moment in time. Author Mark Larson sits down with more than one hundred workers from across the socioeconomic spectrum as they share their experiences with work and what it has meant in their lives—the good, the bad, the mundane, and the profound. Doulas, firefighters, chefs, hairstylists, executives, actors, stay-at-home parents, and so many more talk about what they do all day and how it aligns (or doesn t) with what they want to be doing with their lives. The pandemic, the ensuing “Great Resignation,” and the current reckonings with racial justice are among the forces that are now upending and reshaping our longstanding relationships with work. Larson’s interviews display how these forces collide in the lives of average Americans as they tell their own stories with passion, heartbreak, and, ultimately, hope.Working in the 21st Century asks why we show up—or don’t—to the jobs we’ve chosen, and how the upheaval of the past few years has changed how we perceive the work we do. It will be released to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Studs Terkel s 1974 classic Working.

Wonders in the Deep - Mark Frary, Bound Mensun

A shipwreck is a time capsule. When a maritime archaeologist picks up an item from the seabed, it is a direct connection with history. The last time the object was touched was sometimes centuries before; now, it’s starting a new life. The millions of vessels that lie under the sea tell the human history of the world. Mensun Bound is the renowned marine archaeologist who was the Director of Exploration on the team that discovered Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance. With journalist Mark Frary, here Bound uses the many treasures he has discovered, from Nazi eagles to cannonballs, to write a maritime history of the world from 3000 BCE. Interwoven throughout with beautiful photographs, Wonders in the Deep is a riveting story of human ambition, defeat and ingenuity.

Why Not? - Mark Schiff

From master comedian Mark Schiff, a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld, comes a hilarious account of decades of foolery with comedy and acting legends and how he honed his mensch skills in all of life’s arenas. Pursuing a career in comedy has always taken a lot of chutzpah. Today Mark Schiff looks back at his fifty-year career as a stand-up comic, actor, and writer and knows he’s laughed with the best of them. His comedy and character have been widely praised by everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Bill Maher, Paul Reiser, and Colin Quinn—as Seinfeld writes in his foreword, Mark is “the greatest comedy pal a guy could ever wish for”—but it hasn’t always been easy. In this brilliantly honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, Mark recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City and shares how he survived a harrowing childhood and managed health crises, aging, marriage, parenting, and career highs and lows. With wit and wisdom, Mark reminds us that no matter the troubles at-hand, the show must always go on. The result is an unforgettable and highly relatable account from one of the best humor writers of our time that will leave readers of all faiths energized and feeling like they’ve schmoozed with the best of them.

Čas proměn - Mark Baker

Mark Baker měl možnost sledovat poslední roky komunistického režimu, listopadovou revoluci a počátky nového systému zblízka. Před rokem 1989 byl jedním z nemnoha západních novinářů, kteří pravidelně cestovali do Československa, aby svět informovali o zdejším vývoji. Po revoluci do Prahy přesídlil, aby pokračoval v novinářské práci a poté si zde založil populární knihkupectví s kavárnou. A mezitím projel zemi skrz naskrz s cílem sepsat prvního anglickojazyčného turistického průvodce po postkomunistickém Československu. To, co Mark Baker prožil, by bylo stěží možné v jakékoliv jiné době. Z prvního Čecha, kterého potkal, se vyklubal spolupracovník StB, jenž ho sledoval. Seznámil se s fascinujícím světem velkých komunistických hotelů prošpikovaných odposlouchávacími zařízeními, veksláky a podezřelými atraktivními ženami. Navštívil „zázraky“ socialistického hospodářství – JZD Slušovice, podniky zahraničního obchodu atd. Vedl rozhovor s Viktorem Koženým, prorokem, jemuž uvěřily tisíce Čechů. Se smutkem reportoval o rozpadu Československa, aby posléze na euforické vlně invaze tisíců mladých cizinců, které přivábila Praha coby „Paříž“ 90. let, vítal ve svém knihkupectví Ludvíka Vaculíka nebo Allena Ginsberga. Podivuhodná doba, kdy „bylo cokoliv možné“, zrodila jedinečné zážitky – ty zvlášť vyniknou v podání skvělého vypravěče, jímž Mark Baker bezesporu je.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain

One of the best-known classics of American literature, Mark Twain s indelible novel of boyhood, friendship, and adventure.Few works of fiction are more known and beloved for keenly documenting the triumphs, trials, exultations, and despairs of boyhood than The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Set in 1840s Missouri, Mark Twain s picaresque novel follows a rambunctious, rebellious rascal whose exploits are the delight of the town boys and the bane of the adults trying to “civilize” them at home, in school, and at church.Tom and his friends, including Huck Finn (the son of the town drunk and star of Twain’s subsequent masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), skip school and run away, play pirates and robbers, go hunting in caves, fake their own deaths, poke around haunted houses, frolic along the river banks, and triumphantly interrupt their own funeral sermons. They believe in magic and superstitions, witness body snatchers and murder, and search for—and find—buried treasure.Twain s mastery of satire and droll humor, his unparalleled narrative skill in capturing the incomparable fierce joys of childhood, and his piercing attentiveness to the ever-present tension between the freedom of adolescence and the confining expectations of social propriety have made this timeless tale of Americana a revered classic for generations that continues to enthrall readers today.This deluxe edition features French flaps, a deckle edge, and a stunning cover designed using authentic printers and metal/wood type manufactured in the 1840s.
