Flea, the iconic bassist and co-founder, alongside Anthony Kiedis, of the immortal Red Hot Chili Peppers finally tells his fascinating origin story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows you d expect from an LA street rat turned world-famous rock star. Michael Peter Balzary was born in Melbourne, Australia, on October 16, 1962. His more famous stage name, Flea, and his wild ride as the renowned bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in a far and distant future. Little Michael from Oz moved with his very conservative, very normal family to Westchester, New York, where life as he knew it was soon turned upside down. His parents split up and he and his sister moved into the home of his mother s free-wheeling, jazz musician boyfriend - trading in rules, stability, and barbecues for bohemian values, wildness, and Sunday afternoon jazz parties where booze, weed, and music flowed in equal measure. There began Michael s life-long journey to channel all the frustration, loneliness, love, and joy he felt into incredible rhythm. When Michael s family moved to Los Angeles in 1972, his home situation was rockier than ever. He sought out a sense of belonging elsewhere, spending most of his days partying, playing basketball, and committing petty crimes. At Fairfax High School, he met another social outcast, Anthony Kiedis, who quickly became his soul brother, the yin to his yang, his partner in mischief. Michael joined some bands, fell in love with performing, and honed his skills. But it wasn t until the night when Anthony, excited after catching a Grandmaster Flash concert, suggested they start their own band that he is handed the magic key to the cosmic kingdom. Acid for the Children is as raw, entertaining and wildly unpredictable as its author. It s both a tenderly evocative coming of age story and a raucous love letter to the power of music and creativity

Věhlasný baskytarista a spoluzakladatel kapely Red Hot Chili Peppers vypráví svůj fascinující příběh z mládí s veškerými překotnými vzestupy a strmými pády, které byste od pouliční krysy z L. A., z níž se stala světoznámá rocková hvězda, chtěli slyšet.Acid for the Children je hluboce osobní zpovědí, ve které Flea provází čtenáře svým raným obdobím dospívání, během něhož se přestěhoval z Austrálie na předměstí New Yorku a následně do Los Angeles. Směsí vtipných historek, poetických úvah a fantasmagorií popisuje události, které pro něj byly jako pro hudebníka a mladého muže formativní. Jeho zasněná, jazzem prosáklá próza představuje Los Angeles 70. a 80. let 20. století s veškerou drsností,nebezpečím a zábavou. V komunitě hudebníků, umělců a feťáků žijících rovněž na okraji společnosti našel mladý Flea, který se snažil uniknout z nestabilního domova, rodinu. Bavil se na večírcích a páchal drobné výtržnosti. Hlubší smysl našel až v hudbě, která mu poskytla prostor pro vyjádření frustrací – osamělosti a lásky – a přinesla zásadní životní změnu, když se svými nejlepšími kamarády založil kapelu, z níž vzešli Red Hot Chili Peppers.Tyto memoáry s úvodní básní od Patti Smith představují debut nového literárního hlasu, jehož próza je stejně zábavná a nepředvídatelná jako autor sám. Jedná se o sugestivní příběh o dospívání a zároveň divoký milostný dopis adresovaný síle hudby a tvořivosti od jednoho z nejslavnějších hudebníků naší doby.Úvodní báseň Patti Smith

Does racial discrimination harm Black children s sense of self?The Doll Test illuminated its devastating toll.Dr. Kenneth Clark visited rundown and under-resourced segregated schools across America, presenting Black children with two dolls: a white one with hair painted yellow and a brown one with hair painted black. Give me the doll you like to play with, he said. Give me the doll that is a nice doll. The psychological experiment Kenneth developed with his wife, Mamie, designed to measure how segregation affected Black children s perception of themselves and other Black people, was enlightening-and horrifying. Over and over again, the young children-some not yet five years old-selected the white doll as preferable, and the brown doll as bad. Some children even denied their race. Yes, said brown-skinned Joan W., age six, when questioned about her affection for the light-skinned doll. I would like to be white. What the Children Told Us is the story of the towering intellectual and emotional partnership between two Black scholars who highlighted the psychological effects of racial segregation. The Clarks story is one of courage, love, and an unfailing belief that Black children deserved better than what society was prepared to give them, and their unrelenting activism played a critical role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. The Clarks decades of impassioned advocacy, their inspiring marriage, and their enduring work shines a light on the power of passion in an unjust world.

Young children live in the here and now.

With terror mounting in 1940 London, thousands of Guest Children were evacuated out of England to escape the bombings. Two of those children, Michael and Frances Hawksby, were never seen again. Randall Sturgess wanted to do his part in the war - but stayed home instead to look after his troubled younger brother. Impoverished, shamed as a coward, and running out of work options as veterans come home, when he s asked to investigate the disappearance of the Hawksby children, he agrees. Reluctantly leaving his brother behind, Randall follows the children s trail to a remote corner of northern Ontario, where he finds an isolated resort. There, he discovers the secretive couple who initially took in the young Hawksbys, along with their collection of strange, seemingly permanent guests. But there s still no sign of the children. Plagued by vivid nightmares and a persistent feeling that he s being watched, Randall searches the imposing woods and lake for any trace of Michael and Frances. Randall s certain something terrible has happened to them, linked to a spectral presence he senses around the lodge and glimpses out of the corner of his eye.

From Waterstones Children s Laureate 2022–2024, Joseph Coelho, comes this gentle, poetic story about climate change, working together, building communities and living in tune with nature. On the hottest day of the year, three children watch from their tower block windows as golden leaves drift down to the baking pavement. The trees, tricked by the unseasonal heat, think autumn has arrived. While the grown-ups delight in the sunshine, the children worry for the trees – why isn’t anyone else concerned? A wise tree shows them how to conjure rain and care for the forest, but by bravely finding a short-term solution, they inspire something much bigger – a long-term commitment from the adults around them. Together, they rediscover the hidden power of nature, setting a topsy-turvy world the right way up, and protecting it for the future. This moving and hopeful first look at climate change is brought to life by the sweeping, emotive illustrations of Richard Johnson, Coelho’s close collaborator on Our Tower.

King Charles II was the father of fourteen illegitimate children (if not more) by seven mistresses. Ironically, his marriage to Queen Catherine, a Portuguese princess, proved childless. The eldest and most notable of his children, James, duke of Monmouth, was effectively excluded from the line of succession. After his father’s death the duke launched an armed challenge for the crown against his uncle, then James II, but was defeated at the battle of Sedgemoor and executed. Some of Charles s other sons, notably Henry, duke of Grafton, Charles, duke of St Albans, and the youngest, Charles, duke of Richmond, took part in military and naval campaigns at home and overseas. Some of his daughters married into various branches of the British aristocracy—though not without occasional scandal—while one married a composer and another took holy orders. In the context of the relaxed morals of the Restoration court, this biography examines the sometimes poorly documented lives of each of Charles’s children, their personal relations with each other, their places in English history, their love affairs, and the lines of descent through which several key figures of the modern British royal family can trace their lineage.
