This extraordinary New York Times bestseller reexamines a pivotal event of the civil rights movement—the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till—“and demands that we do the one vital thing we aren’t often enough asked to do with history: learn from it” (The Atlantic). * A New York Times Notable Book * A Washington Post Notable Book * Longlisted for the National Book Award * Winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award *An NPR, Los Angeles Times, and Atlanta Journal-Constitution Best Book of the Year *In 1955, white men in the Mississippi Delta lynched a fourteen-year-old from Chicago named Emmett Till. His murder was part of a wave of white terrorism in the wake of the 1954 Supreme Court decision that declared public school segregation unconstitutional. Only weeks later, Rosa Parks thought about young Emmett as she refused to move to the back of a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Five years later, Black students who called themselves “the Emmett Till generation” launched sit-in campaigns that turned the struggle for civil rights into a mass movement. Till’s lynching became the most notorious hate crime in American history. But what actually happened to Emmett Till—not the icon of injustice, but the flesh-and-blood ...

At his mainstream school, teachers refuse to schedule his classes on the ground floor, and he loses a stone from the effort of getting up the stairs.

To not be gay, which feels like another word for loneliness. But the ''miracle'' doesn''t occur, and Emmett must reckon with a world which views disabled people as invisible, ...

While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, ''I was never in it for the sex and drugs - ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it - the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play''s the thing...'' Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist''s mindset, Lay It on the Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. ''It'' was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe. It also includes photos from Emmett''s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph - and came back two decades later. Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit... a great gig, a catalytic door-opener... it was a role that led to other adventures - and these are the stories he''s chosen to tell.

Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the ''concept album.'' It is music that arrives inside a book. It''s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums. In his latest offering, Rik Emmett delves into the creative process - the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording. Even the story behind these stories explores creativity. (Emmett dreamed of then commissioned a guitar - a one-of-a-kind Telecaster-style guitar - then wrote and recorded with and for it.) Playfully, beautifully, Ten Telecaster Tales lays bare an artistic journey in an act of discovery - that the storytelling inherent in writing good musical compositions translates into good storytelling about the process behind the songs, and how compositions turn into recordings. A generous amount of fairy-tale mythology is sprinkled throughout - despite the whole process being assimilated by digital technology. The notion of a ''telecaster tale'' implies something ''vintage'' at its heart, and it is humanity that glues the layers together. Principally, though, Ten Telecaster Tales is the next logical step for Emmett after publishing his memoir, Lay It On The Line. It represents the evolution of his life story into ...

At the end of August 1955, the lifeless and disfigured body of a teenager was fished out of the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi. The body was that of Emmett Till, a fourteen-year-old Black boy from Chicago who had come to spend the vacations with his mother's family. A few days earlier, he had been seen in conversation with Carolyn Bryant, a young white shopkeeper, to whom, according to some witnesses, he had made advances. Roy Bryant, her husband, and J.W. Milam, her brother-in-law, picked up Till in the middle of the night at his uncle's house. He was never seen alive again.The two men were quickly arrested and brought to trial. A month later, a jury of twelve white men acquitted them after an hour-long deliberation. Seventy years later, the Till case has become a milestone in American civil rights history. But the criminal case is still not entirely solved as new elements continue to emerge.

A mesmeric, harrowing and uplifting childhood memoir that will open up much-needed conversations about identity and mental health''This will blow you away''- Stylist''Joly''s prose is sensitive and heartbreaking...darkly compelling'' - Business Post''An extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir'' - Belfast TelegraphIt was an ordinary day in 2016. In Gatwick Airport, Jonathan and his wife Anna were having breakfast with their two little children while waiting for their flight to be called. And then it happened, a familiar sensation that Jonathan hadn''t had for decades: an out-of-body experience that transported him to another place, the safe place he used to escape to in his mind when he was a boy. Because growing up in conservative 1980s Dublin, where there was little tolerance for children who were ''different'', Jonathan Joly was, indeed, a different sort of child: creative, expressive, and - on the inside - a girl. The limitations of the people around him to understand his differences led to years of tyrannical bullying and abuse, forcing him to withdraw within himself to the point of clinical absence. His only chance for survival was the inner world he created for himself, rich with loving and supportive friends and playmates, that only he could see. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Physio is an incredibly powerful, and totally unforgettable, narrative that explores the present and the past of author, Jonathan Smith, a man whose life has been upended by Parkinsons - a condition that threatens to take away his independence and identity. As he painstakingly relearns to perform the simplest tasks with his left hand, he is forced to confront his limitations and the reality of his condition. But it is within the walls of the physiotherapy room that Jonathan finds an unexpected ally in Clare, his physiotherapist - whose expertise and adventurous spirit challenge him to push beyond his boundaries. As Jonathan grapples with the frustrations of daily life, Clare becomes more than just a therapist; she becomes a mentor and confidante.

‘Epic, stunning, and completely delicious. Jonathan Becker: Lost Time is a fitting legacy for one of the true photographic masters of our age.’ – Graydon Carter, founder and co-editor of Air Mail and former editor of Vanity Fair The first retrospective monograph on photographer Jonathan Becker, one of the great visual storytellers of our time Over the course of five decades, Jonathan Becker has produced a body of evocative photographic work that documents lives of the twentieth-century beau monde.

A formally audacious and deeply moving memoir in three timeframes that confronts the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its effects on a father and son. In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein’s father Hans escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht, and, arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture. Growing up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father’s relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behaviour. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Published to coincide with the eightieth anniversary, this is a highly compelling account of a father and son’s attempt to emerge from the shadows of history.For readers who enjoyed East West Street, The Berlin Shadow is a beautiful memoir about time, trauma and family. Praise for Jonathan Lichtenstein's work: ‘The writing is keenly observed and emotionally resonant. . . an impressive achievement given the breadth of its reach, from Berlin in the 1930s to Bethlehem today’ New York Times ...

The Penguin Classics edition of Jonathan Swift''s savagely satirical A Modest Proposal and Other Writings is edited with an introduction and notes by Carol Fabricant.To ease poverty in Ireland by eating the children of the poor was the satirical ''solution'' suggested by Jonathan Swift in his essay ''A Modest Proposal'' (1729).
