Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Seller: Hachette Digital, Inc.

The final word in sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne shares his unbelievable story for the first time in this tell-all memoir. "They've said some crazy things about me over the years. I mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like, 'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn't perform until he'd killed fifteen puppies . . .' Now me , kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of the f**king things at home. I've killed a few cows in my time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in my house that night. It haunts me, all this crazy stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty f**king years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at f**king two miles per hour. People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. I've always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain't the devil . I'm just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time."



Arthur Miller - The Crucible artwork The Crucible
Arthur Miller
Genre: Theatre
Price: $10.99
Publish Date: October 28, 1976
Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group
Seller: Penguin Random House Canada

A haunting examination of groupthink and mass hysteria in a rural community   The place is Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, an enclave of rigid piety huddled on the edge of a wilderness. Its inhabitants believe unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft—and then when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village. First produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a new epidemic of witch-hunting, The Crucible brilliantly explores the threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite and collective evil. It is a play that is not only relentlessly suspenseful and vastly moving but that compels readers to fathom their hearts and consciences in ways that only the greatest theater ever can.

Graciela Speranza - Futuro presente artwork Futuro presente
Perspectivas desde el arte y la política sobre la crisis ecológica y el mundo digital
Graciela Speranza
Genre: Art & Architecture
Price: $13.99
Publish Date: September 26, 2019
Publisher: Siglo XXI Editores
Seller: Bookwire GmbH

Dos fenómenos en apariencia irreversibles se han vuelto insoslayables en el siglo XXI: la devastación de los recursos naturales provocada por los seres humanos y la progresiva digitalización de todas nuestras experiencias. Parece claro que pensar sobre ambas cuestiones es urgente, pero ¿por qué es necesario pensarlas en conjunto? Porque, de manera deliberada, los poderes que las impulsan se mantienen en sombras y la escala global de sus consecuencias nos paraliza. Es esa oscuridad impuesta, justamente, la que el arte y el pensamiento contemporáneos pueden (¿deben?) iluminar. ¿Cómo habla el arte de nuestro tiempo de la crisis ecológica? ¿Qué diálogos entabla con las diversas formas de lo digital? ¿Qué cruces son posibles con el activismo político, la filosofía, la sociología y la reflexión sobre la tecnología? En torno a estas preguntas, algunos de los más destacados pensadores, artistas e intelectuales contemporáneos sistematizan ideas hasta ahora dispersas y construyen en conjunto una reflexión sólida, capaz de descorrer el velo que cubre nuestra vida cotidiana. De los videojuegos a la intimidad en Instagram, de los derechos de los animales no humanos a los memes, de la inteligencia artificial a las nuevas formas de visualizar las obras de un museo, los textos de este volumen demuestran la potencia del arte como lenguaje de disenso y de transformación. Por los orígenes geográficos, disciplinas y registros diversos de los autores, este libro está llamado a interpelar no solo a quienes transitan el activo mundo del arte, sino también a todos los interesados en los efectos de la tecnología, los movimientos sociales y la filosofía política. Futuro presente muestra cómo, mientras nos obliga a mirar de frente un mundo amenazante y desigual, el arte puede, en el mismo movimiento, ofrecer alternativas. Incluso, escribe Graciela Speranza, aquel arte "que no tiene vocación política pero se vuelve político cuando hace posibles fantasías a primera vista impracticables".



Helen Gorrill - Women Can't Paint artwork Women Can't Paint
Gender, the Glass Ceiling and Values in Contemporary Art
Helen Gorrill
Genre: Art & Architecture
Price: $43.99
Publish Date: February 06, 2020
Publisher: Bloomsbury Visual Arts
Seller: Bookwire GmbH

In 2013 Georg Baselitz declared that 'women don't paint very well'. Whilst shocking, his comments reveal what Helen Gørrill argues is prolific discrimination in the artworld. In a groundbreaking study of gender and value, Gørrill proves that there are few aesthetic differences in men and women's painting, but that men's art is valued at up to 80 per cent more than women's. Indeed, the power of masculinity is such that when men sign their work it goes up in value, yet when women sign their work it goes down. Museums, the author attests, are also complicit in this vicious cycle as they collect tokenist female artwork which impinges upon its artists' market value. An essential text for students and teachers, Gørrill's book is provocative and challenges existing methodologies whilst introducing shocking evidence. She proves how the price of being a woman impacts upon all forms of artistic currency, be it social, cultural or economic and in the vanguard of the 'Me Too' movement calls for the artworld to take action.

Seller: The Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller

With the appearance of Grunch of Giants , R. Buckminster Fuller consummates his literary canon, his panoramic lifetime survey of all aspects of the responsibility of human beings for their own destiny. This book is a modern allegory - his long-gestated myth - of the villainy of capitalism and the fecklessness of classic economics. For Fuller, the academic discipline of economics is irrelevant since it derives from an invalid assumption of scarcity. In fact, he has long argued that future historians of our era may subsume our business practices as a branch of mythology; thus it is not surprising that the word economic appears nowhere in his text. Fuller’s myth is no idle fairy tale, since he faces his question - the question of a technological imperative which only he could raise with the deadly seriousness of satire. That question is: Can our system of national political sovereignties and corporate profits survive the inevitable technology revolution required to obviate wars by effecting a worldwide rise in the standard of living. One of the functions of myth is to resolve contradictions in our culture. Grunch of Giants portrays the rising of multinational corporations in the paradoxical role of function both as the epitome of capitalistic selfishness and as the inadvertent vehicle for the dissolution of national political boundaries - the last deterrent to a one-world economy. The result is more subversive of the property and profit values of the capitalist system than anything dreamed of since Karl Marx. —E.J. Applewhite, collaborator with RBF on Synergetics and Synergetics 2 , author of Cosmic Fishing: A Memoir of Working With R. Buckminster Fuller
