Paul Simon je nepřehlédnutelnou osobností světové písničkářské scény. Marc Eliot, autor životopisných bestsellerů, nabízí v knize zevrubnou a vyčerpávající sondu do hudebního i soukromého světa této osobnosti a čtenář má k dispozici objevný pohled na jednoho z největších umělců naší doby. Kniha odpovídá na řadu dotazů ze Simonova života, dozvíme se, jak se Paul seznámil se spolužákem Artem, a zjistíme, že tradici rozpadů a návratů ti dva zahájili dávno předtím, než si začali říkat Simon & Garfunkel. Eliot na základě obsáhlých rozhovorů s řadou Simonových přátel, kolegů a spolupracovníků zasvěceně popisuje, jak duo roku 1963 prorazilo v klubu Gerde's Folk City, co dělal Paul v Anglii, zatímco ve Státech trhala rekordy upravená nahrávka skladby The Sound Of Silence, a jak se z písně, kterou vlastně ani nedopsal, stal jeden z největších hitů Simona & Garfunkela. Autor podrobně vypráví, jakou zásadní roli Paul sehrál na festivalu v Monterey, jak dostala herecká dráha Arta Garfunkela přednost před natáčením a vydáním alba Bridge Over Troubled Water a do jaké míry tato poslední a nejdůležitější deska Simona & Garfunkela dokumentuje jejich dlouhé a neklidné partnerství. Pochopíme, jaké nesmírné úsilí vynaložil Paul Simon na to, aby jeho první sólová nahrávka zněla úplně jinak než alba ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A new edition of Sue Tilley’s classic biography of the man described by Boy George as ‘modern art on legs’, updated to include never-before-seen photographs and a new chapter reflecting on Bowery’s legacy. From his arrival in London in 1980, clutching a suitcase and sewing machine, to his death from AIDS in 1994, artist, performer, musician, club promoter and fashion designer Leigh Bowery led an extraordinary life. Chronicled here with candid wit and affection, Leigh’s closest confidante Sue Tilley describes her best friend’s journey as a creative young gay kid growing up in the Melbourne suburbs who burst onto the vibrant London club scene of the 1980s and changed it forever.Brilliantly evoking the hedonistic energy of the city, Tilley’s personal account of her life with Leigh – their best mates, holidays, clubbing, drugs, outfits, flatmates and sex lives – paints a vivid picture of 80s pop culture through their friendship and love of a good time. She also offers irreverent anecdotes of the London art world, and particularly of Leigh’s close relationship with Lucian Freud, who painted Leigh many times from 1990 onwards; and concludes with a poignant and unsentimental recollection of Leigh’s final days in hospital.

The Samburu: A Study of Gerontocracy in a Nomadic Tribe by Paul Spencer offers a rich ethnographic account of a pastoral society in northern Kenya whose political and social life is organized around the authority of elders. Closely related linguistically and culturally to the Masai, the Samburu nonetheless developed their own distinctive institutions, shaped by the arid ecology of their homeland and by crises such as the devastating rinderpest and smallpox epidemics of the late nineteenth century. Colonial intervention brought new layers of administration and, after World War II, experimental grazing schemes, yet Spencer demonstrates that Samburu society remained remarkably resilient. Elders continued to dominate decision-making, adjudicate disputes, and control marriage, while the age-set system maintained a strict separation between the power of the old and the obligations of the young. At the core of Samburu social values lies *nkanyit*—a nuanced concept of respect, shame, and duty—that governs relationships within the tribe and distinguishes the Samburu from their neighbors. Drawing on twenty-seven months of fieldwork from 1957 to 1960, Spencer provides a vivid portrait of Samburu gerontocracy in practice. He examines the tension between elder authority and the moran, the young unmarried men who, though stripped of their historic warrior ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why catastrophic risks are more dangerous than you think, and how populism is making them worse.Did you know that you’re more likely to die from a catastrophe than in a car crash? The odds that a typical US resident will die from a catastrophic event—for example, nuclear war, bioterrorism, or out-of-control artificial intelligence—have been estimated at 1 in 6. That’s fifteen times more likely than a fatal car crash and thirty-one times more likely than being murdered. In What’s the Worst That Could Happen?, Andrew Leigh looks at catastrophic risks and how to mitigate them, arguing provocatively that the rise of populist politics makes catastrophe more likely. Leigh explains that pervasive short-term thinking leaves us unprepared for long-term risks. Politicians sweat the small stuff—granular policy details of legislation and regulation—but rarely devote much attention to reducing long-term risks. Populist movements thrive on short-termism because they focus on their followers’ immediate grievances. Leigh argues that we should be long-termers: broaden our thinking and give big threats the attention and resources they need. Leigh outlines the biggest existential risks facing humanity and suggests remedies for them. He discusses pandemics, considering the possibility that the next virus will be more deadly than COVID-19; ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Fliss might not be great at life’s chores, but she is great at seizing opportunities, so when the chance for a jaunt to France’s beautiful Brittany comes her way, she decides it’s just what she and Shirl need. And as the sun-soaked town of Plouvannec-Sur-Mer begins to work its magic on the women, they realise there’s another way to live. From cake-laden patisseries, to joyous local fetes, from food, views and beaches to die for, to a community quick to embrace them, not to mention some rather fine French men for company, perhaps it’s not too late ...

The great and the good rarely, if ever, accomplish all they wish to achieve without the able assistance of many skilled men and women. To have a very capable person beside you acting as guide, confidant and adviser is essential. Even better when it is someone with a depth of knowledge equal to, or even better than your own. If all these skills can be combined in one trusted, assistant so much the better. To a leader such a person may be valued ‘beyond rubies’, because they have the ability to take ideas, add something and help make them a reality.For Herbert Nigel Gresley, CME of the LNER, Bert Spencer was just such a man. As Gresley triumphed his faithful, introverted and highly talented assistant remained resolutely in the background playing an unsung yet key role in the development of Gresley’s outstanding Pacifics and his many other memorable locomotives.

Discover Your Connection to the World from Within... There are countless paths that a young person can take to adulthood. Between family, friends, and school, there are many influences affecting every step of that path. Yet, the teenage and young adult years are when one’s independent voice blossoms alongside feelings of doubt and disconnection. It may help to know that others have painfully wandered through adolescence searching for happiness, only to find that their inherent beauty and peace was inside their own heart all along. Perhaps the words of Rumi speak clearest in today’s world: “There is a life force within your soul, seek that life. There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine. O traveler, if you are in search of That Don’t look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.” How can this message be heard and understood in a world of social media and cell phones, common tools meant to enhance communication that instead have become ways to critique, discredit, and even hurt others? Especially during the teenage years?

A collection of writings by the mathematician and composer linking notions of continuity and construction across math, minimalist music and contemporary artNoted mathematician and composer Spencer Gerhardt presents Ticking Stripe, a groundbreaking collection of essays linking notions of continuity and construction across the boundaries of math, art, music and philosophy. Gerhardt offers new, deeply informed analysis of the 1960s New York avant-garde, viewed through the lens of trailblazing artists such as La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela, Catherine Christer Hennix, Henry Flynt and Tony Conrad. Ticking Stripe pairs the spirit of L.E.J. Brouwer—a mathematician who sought to reconstruct the continuum in his own philosophical terms called intuitionism—with the ambitions of pioneering minimalists who combined continued constructions, idealized processes of introspection and conceptual world-building with a host of philosophical, scientific and spiritual concerns. Informed by his own work as a mathematician and composer, Gerhardt explores the depths of these disparate traditions, finding unlikely areas of commonality.Spencer Gerhardt is a composer and musician, and teaches mathematics at the University of Southern California.

From award-winning writer and theorist Tao Leigh Goffe, an urgent investigation into the intertwined history of colonialism and the climate crisis – and the lessons we can learn to fight for a better world. Our planet is on the precipice of dramatic ecological breakdown and climate despair is at an all-time high. But there are many communities who have survived beyond the environmental destruction wrought on them by colonialism – and they hold the solutions for climate repair.Using the Caribbean as a case study, Tao Leigh Goffe traces the vibrant and complex history of the islands back to 1492 and the arrival of Christopher Columbus when the Caribbean became the subject of Western exploitation. Charting the human and ecological forces that have shaped the islands, Goffe examines the legacy of fierce warrior Queen Nanny of the Maroons, engages in pressing cultural debate about stolen artefacts and human remains which are kept hidden in museum archives, and visits Indigenous farming cooperatives who are using ancestral knowledge to rebuild their communities.
