Legendární BB King, všeobecně oslavovaný jako vládnoucí král blues, byl ve své době nejvíce napodobovaným bluesovými kytaristy a jeho hudební vliv po celém světě je nevyčíslitelný. BB technika byla klamně složitá; s jemnými filigrány jednotlivých strun přerušovaných hlasitými akordy, jemnými vibráty a ohnutými tóny.

Kniha - autor Julian Baggini, 432 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In this groundbreaking global overview of philosophy, Julian Baggini travels the world to provide a wide-ranging map of human thought. One of the great unexplained wonders of human history is that written philosophy flowered entirely separately in China, India and Ancient Greece at more or less the same time. These early philosophies have had a profound impact on the development of distinctive cultures in different parts of the world. What we call 'philosophy' in the West is not even half the story. Julian Baggini sets out to expand our horizons in How the World Thinks, exploring the philosophies of Japan, India, China and the Muslim world, as well as the lesser-known oral traditions of Africa and Australia's first peoples. Interviewing thinkers from around the globe, Baggini asks questions such as: why is the West is more individualistic than the East? What makes secularism a less...
