INCLUDES BRAND NEW CHAPTER COVERING GUNS N ROSES EPIC WORLD TOURMany millions of words have already been written about Guns N Roses, the old line-up, the new line-up. But none of them have ever really gotten to the truth. Which is this: Guns N Roses has always been a band out of time, the Last of the Giants. They are what every rock band since the Rolling Stones has tried and nearly always failed to be: dangerous. At a time when smiling, MTV-friendly, safe-sex, just-say-no Bon Jovi was the biggest band in the world, here was a band that seemed to have leapt straight out of the coke-smothered pages of the original, golden-age, late-sixties rock scene. Live like a suicide , the band used to say when they all lived together in the Hell House, their notorious LA home. And this is where Mick Wall first met them, and became part of their inner circle, before famously being denounced by name by Axl Rose in the song Get in the Ring .But this book isn t about settling old scores. Written with the clear head that 25 years later brings you, this is a celebration of Guns N Roses the band, and of Axl Rose the frontman who really is that thing we so desperately want him to be: the last of the truly extraordinary, all-time great, no apologies, no explanations, no giving-a-shit rock stars. The last of his kind.

A.J.P. Taylor s bestselling The Origins of the Second World War overturns popular myths about the outbreak of war.One of the most popular and controversial historians of the twentieth century, who made his subject accessible to millions, A.J.P. Taylor caused a storm of outrage with this scandalous bestseller. Debunking what were accepted truths about the Second World War, he argued provocatively that Hitler did not set out to cause the war as part of an evil master plan, but blundered into it partly by accident, aided by the shortcomings of others.Fiercely attacked for vindicating Hitler, A.J.P. Taylor s stringent re-examination of the events preceding the Nazi invasion of Poland on 1st September 1939 opened up new debate, and is now recognized as a brilliant and classic piece of scholarly research. Taylor s most perfect work of art, a miracle of proportion, language and insight Robert Skidelsky A dazzling exercise in revisionism which summed up Taylor s paradoxical, provocative and inventive approach to history The Times Taylor was a lifelong dissenter ... at his best - as in The Origins of the Second World War ... he shifted the ground of major debates Ben Pimlott, Financial Times No historian of the past century has been more accessible Niall Ferguson, Sunday Telegraph An almost faultless masterpiece Observer Highly original and penetrating ... No one who has digested this enthralling work will ever be able to look at the period again in quite the same way Sunday TelegraphA.J.P.

A unique insight into human consciousness and its possibilities The Times Incredible New Scientist This book is important for everyone . . . I love this book Oprah WinfreyOn the morning of the 10th December 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she lost the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four hours. As the damaged left side of her brain - the rational, logical, detail and time-oriented side - swung in an out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realities: the euphoric Nirvana of the intuitive and emotional right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical left brain, that realized Jill was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely. In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist s Personal Journey, Taylor brings to light a new perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery that she gained through the intimate experience of awakening her own injured mind. The journey to recovery took eight years for Jill to feel completely healed. Using her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insight gained from her right brain that December morning.

Could any of us, in the wrong circumstances, become a killer?As Taylor helps us understand what lies inside the minds of those charged with murder - both prisoners he has assessed and patients he has treated - he presents us with the most important challenge of all: how can we even begin to comprehend the darkest of human deeds, and why it is so vital that we try?The Mind of a Murderer is a fascinating exploration into the psyche of killers, as well as a unique insight into the life and mind of the doctor who treats them.For fans of Unnatural Causes, The Examined Life and All That Remains.MORE PRAISE FOR THE MIND OF A MURDERER: A fascinating insight into what drives criminality - and a punchy polemic against mental-health service cuts Jake Kerridge, Sunday Telegraph A fascinating, well-written and compelling account of the mental state in homicide Alisdair Williamson, TLS A dark, fascinating and often surprising glimpse into the minds of those who kill, from a forensic psychiatrist who s seen it all Rob Williams, writer of BBC s The Victim An excellent, engaging and honest book, full of interesting, powerful and important observations Alison Liebling, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Cambridge
