A Rolling Stone-Kirkus Best Music Book of 2020"In this brilliant book, Steven Hyden goes deep into why Kid A matters—it's the fascinating saga of how the music turned into the symbol of a new cultural era." — Rolling StoneTHE MAKING AND MEANING OF RADIOHEAD'S GROUNDBREAKING, CONTROVERSIAL, EPOCHDEFINING ALBUM, KID A.In 1999, as the end of an old century loomed, five musicians entered a recording studio in Paris without a deadline. Their band was widely recognized as the best and most forward-thinking in rock, a rarefied status granting them the time, money, and space to make a masterpiece. But Radiohead didn't want to make another rock record. Instead, they set out to create the future.For more than a year, they battled writer's block, intra-band disagreements, and crippling self-doubt. In the end, however, they produced an album that was not only a complete departure from their prior guitar-based rock sound, it was the sound of a new era-and it embodied widespread changes catalyzed by emerging technologies just beginning to take hold of the culture. What they created was Kid A.Upon its release in 2000, Radiohead's fourth album divided critics. Some called it an instant classic; others, such as the UK music magazine ...

A leading music journalist’s riveting chronicle of how beloved band Pearl Jam shaped the times, and how their legacy and longevity have transcended generations. Ever since Pearl Jam first blasted onto the Seattle grunge scene three decades ago with their debut album, Ten, they have sold 85M+ albums, performed for hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, and have even been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack Of A Generation, music critic and journalist Steven Hyden celebrates the life, career, and music of this legendary group, widely considered to be one of the greatest American rock bands of all time. Long Road is structured like a mix tape, using 18 different Pearl Jam classics as starting points for telling a mix of personal and universal stories. Each chapter tells the tale of this great band — how they got to where they are, what drove them to greatness, and why it matters now. Much like the generation it emerged from, Pearl Jam is a mass of contradictions. They were an enormously successful mainstream rock band who felt deeply uncomfortable with the pursuit of capitalistic spoils. They were progressive ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Published to coincide with the centenary of the campaign, this highly illustrated book from Steven Zaloga explores a David and Goliath conflict which saw the survival of the newly independent Poland in the face of the Soviet Red Army.The Battle of Warsaw in August 1920 has been described as one of the decisive battles of European history. At the start of the battle, the Red Army appeared to be on the verge of advancing through Poland into Germany to expand the Soviet revolution. Had the war spread into Germany, another great European war would have ensued, dragging in France and Britain. However, the Red Army was defeated by ‘the miracle on the Vistula’. This campaign title explores the origins and outcomes of this momentous battle. In May 1920, the Polish Army intervened in war-torn Ukraine, pushing all the way to Kiev, but the Red Army, by now triumphant in most of the theatres of the Russian Civil War, turned its attention to this new threat. By the late summer of 1920, two Soviet armies had advanced into Poland and the overconfident Soviet leadership dreamed of advancing over a prostrate Polish Army into neighbouring Germany to ignite a Communist revolution in ...

A psychoanalyst’s sensitive exploration of schizophrenia through the stories and words of three women patients  In the spring of 1994, psychoanalyst-in-training Steven Poser arrived for his clinical internship at one of the last remaining nineteenth-century mental hospitals in New England. Intending to observe and offer compassionate care to the most chronically ill patients, he ended up staying for two years, forming close therapeutic relationships with three female patients suffering from schizophrenia, “Agnes,” “Mrs. Lutzky,” and “Lucia.”  Drawing from his clinical diary, Poser presents his encounters with the women in their own words, each speaking in a poetry of her own invention. Rather than treat the women as casualties of their illness or their words and actions as nonsensical, Poser sees his patients as dignified and struggling people—and not as markedly different from the rest of us as we might think. This is a deeply human book about the frailty and importance of human connection and the intangibly healing force of being heard.

Steven Pinker, the bestselling author of The Language Instinct, deploys his gift for explaining big ideas in The Sense of Style - an entertaining writing guide for the 21st centuryWhat is the secret of good prose? Does writing well even matter in an age of instant communication? Should we care? In this funny, thoughtful book about the modern art of writing, Steven Pinker shows us why we all need a sense of style.More than ever before, the currency of our social and cultural lives is the written word, from Twitter and texting to blogs, e-readers and old-fashioned books. But most style guides fail to prepare people for the challenges of writing in the 21st century, portraying it as a minefield of grievous errors rather than a form of pleasurable mastery. They fail to deal with an inescapable fact about language: it changes over time, adapted by millions of writers and speakers to their needs. Confusing changes in the world with moral decline, every generation believes the kids today are degrading society and taking language with it. A guide for the new millennium, writes Steven Pinker, has to be different.Drawing on the latest research in linguistics and cognitive science, Steven Pinker ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ve své knize popisují, čím si prošli, co se naučili zvládnout a jak vnímali to, že se jejich rodiče rozešli. „Co mám dělat, když se rodiče hádají?“ „Co to znamená, když se rozvedou?“ „Jak to, že mi nedokážou říci, že se budou rozvádět?“ „Můžu to nějak zastavit?“ Kde budu bydlet, co se mnou bude?“ „Táta si našel přítelkyni. Jak se k ní mám chovat?“ a podobné otázky se honí hlavou většině dětí, jejichž rodiče procházejí rozvodem. Melanie, Annie a Steven na ně dokážou odpovědět, protože to také zažili.

Odehrál třetí nejvyšší počet zápasů za reprezentaci v historii anglického fotbalu. Byl pravděpodobně nejlepším a zcela jistě nejzanícenějším britským sportovcem své generace. Ale kdo je vlastně Steven Gerrard? Za svůj milovaný Liverpool odehrál více než 700 zápasů a za národní tým Anglie dalších 114. Steven Gerrard je sportovec, jemuž se nikdo nevyrovná v oddanosti spoluhráčům, a je nezpochybnitelným vzorem. Ale díky čemu se stal tím, kým je? A díky čemu se mu podařilo zůstat tak dlouho na vrcholu v nejtěžší lize světa? V knize Můj příběh vypráví Gerrard upřímně o své mimořádné kariéře, klíčových zápasech a momentech, na něž nám nabízí vlastní pohled ze hřiště. Ať už je to úžasný obrat Liverpoolu ve finále Ligy mistrů 2005 nebo jeho starty na mistrovstvích světa a Evropy, podává nám vzrušující obraz výher – a proher – před desítkami tisíc bouřících fanoušků. A především je to úžasný a velmi vzácný osobní příběh o tom, jaké to je zůstat věrný jedinému klubu v časech dobrých i zlých. Bez vytáček, odvážně a upřímně se v knize Stevena Gerrarda Můj příběh vypráví o typu hráčů, kteří už vymírají – o muži, jenž drží slovo a jenž je věrný svému klubu i sám sobě.

STEVEN GERRARD odohral za reprezentáciu Anglicka tretí najvyšší počet zápasov v jej histórii. Možno ho považovať za najväčšieho a nepochybne najoddanejšieho britského športovca jeho generácie. No kto je v skutočnosti Steven Gerrard? Predovšetkým je to jeden z najpríťažlivejších športových vzorov. Za svoj milovaný Liverpool odohral viac než sedemsto zápasov a ďalších stoštrnásť v drese anglického národného tímu. Ako sa však stal tým, kým bol? Ako sa mu podarilo udržať tak dlho v špičke najťažšej futbalovej ligy sveta? V knihe Môj príbeh hovorí Steven Gerrard otvorene o svojej výnimočnej futbalovej kariére, o pozadí kľúčových zápasov a prináša zaujatý pohľad hráča priamo na ihrisku. Či rozpráva o ohromujúcom triumfe Liverpoolu v Lige majstrov v roku 2005, alebo o svojich výkonoch na mnohých svetových a európskych turnajoch, zakaždým nám sprostredkúva vzrušujúci zážitok z prežívania výhier – i prehier – pred zrakmi desiatok tisícov rozvášnených divákov. Nadovšetko však spoznávame neuveriteľný a zriedkavý osobný príbeh o lojalite k jednému klubu v dobrom i v zlom, nech bola cena akákoľvek. Kniha Môj príbeh je poslednou bodkou odvážneho, statočného, poctivého, no i chybujúceho futbalistu, akí sa už nerodia, je príbehom muža, ktorý si stál za svojím slovom, za svojím klubom a bol vždy sám sebou.

"Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: "Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu." Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou.

Although, around the world, free market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the United States most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10%, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch.

A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen.Along with the concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a permanent fixture in our daily lives.In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS, Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest paleoarchaeological evidence.The result is a fascinating and provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant evolutionary byproduct.
