In The Jimi Hendrix Experience , bestselling author and rock aficionado Jerry Hopkins delves into the legendary life and career of the greatest man to ever pick up a guitar. With a consistent mix of greatness and madness, learn why the man who only released three studio albums during his life could forever transform not only music, but also a generation.

With incredible photographs depicting Hendrix’s rise to the top, The Jimi Hendrix Experience is the ultimate biography of the “Voodoo Chile.” Hendrix’s legacy and music will live on for generations to be enjoyed by and to live on with fans of all ages.

“Beautifully written… a riveting account of how melodies and rhythms connect us, and help us deal with alienation and anxiety.”—Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score In this captivating blend of science and memoir, a health journalist and former cellist explores music as a source of health, resilience, connection, and joy. Music isn’t just background noise or a series of torturous exercises we remember from piano lessons. In the right doses, it can double as a mild antidepressant, painkiller, sleeping pill, memory aid—and enhance athletic performance while supporting healthy aging. Though music has been used as a healing strategy since ancient times, neuroscientists have only recently discovered how melody and rhythm stimulate core memory, motor, and emotion centers in the brain. But here’s the catch: We can tune into music every day and still miss out on some of its potent effects. Adriana Barton learned the hard way. Starting at age five, she studied the cello for nearly two decades, a pursuit that left her with physical injuries and emotional scars. In Wired for Music , she sets out to discover what music is really for, combing through medical studies, discoveries by pioneering neuroscientists, and research from biology and anthropology. Traveling from state-of-the-art science labs to a remote village in Zimbabwe, her investigation gets to the heart of music’s profound effects on the human body and brain. Blending science and story, Wired for Music shows how our species’ age-old connection to melody and rhythm is wired inside us. |

The 387 pages include a compendium of 68 salsa dance positions illustrated with 330 figures, an annotated curated list of 84 links to free online lessons from expert instructors, and a comprehensive dictionary of salsa dance terminology. A salsa dance combination is comprised of two or more salsa dance patterns, each pattern covering two bars of music. Every salsa dance pattern begins and ends in a dance position. One can view the salsa dance pattern as the artful transition from a start position to an end position over eight beats of music. Because salsa dance is made up of combinations, and combinations are made up of patterns, one can view salsa dance as an aesthetically pleasing progression through a series of dance positions over the course of a song. Expert salsa dancers know how to get into and out of myriad salsa dance positions in interesting ways. Knowing how to do this can help increase your salsa dance repertoire.  This is facilitated by knowing your dance positions. Learn how to break down elaborate salsa combinations into individual components by name. This allows you to pick up new patterns more quickly. It also makes it easier to remember a pattern or combination you learned previously. This will help you to learn from other dancers. The second book in this series shows how to break down combinations into patterns. To best understand combinations and patterns, first know your positions. To truly know your positions, be able to identify them and call them by name. This handbook will show you how to do that. The key insight is that every pattern begins with a start position, and finishes with an end position. This handbook enumerates those positions and teaches the names. Once you learn the position names you will be able to write down a combination in terms of its patterns, by giving the start and end position of each pattern in the combination. This handbook will help you identify common elements of LA Style salsa dance by name.  When you have the vocabulary to describe the building blocks, you can understand what you see on the dance floor. You’ll be able to break down a combination into component patterns. You’ll be able to identify the positions that make up a pattern. Then you will then be able to compose new patterns of your own. Salsa dance elements covered in this handbook include steps, handholds, turns, combs, arm and leg stylings, positions, patterns, and combinations. Handholds covered include left to right hold, right to left hold, parallel hold, handshake hold, reverse handshake hold, cross hold, and reverse cross hold. Turns covered include cross body lead, reverse cross body lead, single right turn, single left turn, inside turn, outside turn, and enchufa turn. Positions covered include apart positions, open position, closed position, half open position, handshake hold, hammerlock, half Hammerlock, cross hold, reverse cross hold, neck loop, arm hook, cuddle, butterfly, sombrero, and wraps. |

This videobook introduces basic elements of salsa dance using short animated videos. Each video shows a dance pattern or a dance combination composed of two or more dance patterns performed in succession.  Each dance element is performed by animated characters we call Leader and Follower. The idea behind this "videobook" format is to bring video into the ebook format. Salsa dance is a dynamic physical activity. The traditional ebook format is limited in what it can convey about dance choreography, in particular, for demonstrating dance patterns and combinations of dance patterns. There are three previous videobooks in this series.  This series of videobooks is akin to a quickstart guide. If you learn the techniques conveyed in these videobooks, you should get from zero to sorta clued in about the rudimentary basics of salsa dance. This series of videobooks is akin to a quickstart guide. Explanations are kept to a bare minimum, with the videos doing the bulk of the teaching. This video book focuses on a combination we’ll call “the box” using an element that goes by the name “around the world”. It uses positions from a general category of wraps called “baskets”. |

This book introduces the beginning reader to salsa dance using 15 short videos. Each set of videos demonstrate a fundamental dance step, hand hold, and dance position, shown from multiple angles. Each video can be "scrubbed". This allows you to slow down the playback speed. To scrub a video, tap and hold the dot on the location slider, then drag it left or right to scrub backward or forward. First we see Leader demonstrate the basic step, while performing solo. Second, Leader demonstrates a very common foot styling variation on the basic step. Third, Follower joins Leader. They perform the basic step while standing side by side. Next, Follower and Leader turn to face each other. They do the basic step, while still dancing apart. The last pattern to be demonstrated is our first where the dancers are not apart. Leader and Follower join hands here in what is perhaps the most common foundational position of salsa dance, namely, the open position. Finally, The couple performs the basic step in open position, facing each other. This book supplements other handbooks in the series, "Handbook of Salsa Dance". The other handbooks in this series provide more explanation of the dance elements demonstrated here. |

Because salsa dance is made up of combinations, and combinations are made up of patterns, one can view salsa dance as an aesthetically pleasing progression through a series of dance patterns over the course of a song. Expert salsa dancers know how to get into and out of myriad salsa dance positions in interesting ways.  Those amazing dancers that you see on the dance floor seem to have an endless knowledge base of elaborate combinations.  How can they memorize so many different combinations?  The secret is that many of them tend to use a small collection of patterns. They know how to get into and out of a position. If they have a combination that begins with some particular start position, they also know an interesting way to get into that position. Each pattern they perform takes them from the start position to an end position. They know how to take that end position and turn it into a start position for the next pattern.  They know how to mix and match patterns to create combinations that seem to be infinitely varied.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller * Named one of Variety's Best Music Books of 2021 * Included in Audible's Best of The Year list * A Business Insider Best Memoirs of 2021 * One of NME's Best Music Books of 2021 So, I've written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.  This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.  |

Les mémoires très attendus de la superstar de la scène, de l'écran, du disque et de la télévision Barbra Streisand est à tous points de vue une légende vivante, une femme qui, au cours d'une carrière couvrant six décennies, a excellé dans tous les domaines du show-business. Elle compte parmi les rares artistes à avoir cumulé Oscars, Emmy, Grammy et Tony Awards, et elle possède l'une des plus reconnaissables parmi les grandes voix de la musique populaire. Elle a été nommée 46 fois aux Grammys et elle est devenue avec  Yentl  la première femme à écrire, produire et réaliser un film tout en y jouant. Dans  My Name Is Barbra , elle raconte l'histoire de sa vie et de son extraordinaire carrière, depuis son enfance à Brooklyn, ses premières apparitions en tant que chanteuse vedette dans des boîtes de nuit new-yorkaises, sa performance remarquée dans  Funny Girl  (la comédie musicale, puis le film), jusqu'à la série de succès qui ont suivi dans tous les domaines. Le livre est comme Barbra, franc, drôle et charmant, avec des idées bien arrêtées. Elle évoque ses premiers combats pour devenir actrice, lorsqu'elle a fini par se tourner vers la chanson afin de gagner sa vie ; l'enregistrement de ses albums salués par la critique ; les années d'efforts qui ont rendu possible le tournage de  Yentl  ;  Le Prince des marées , le deuxième film qu'elle a réalisé; son amitié avec des personnalités allant de Marlon Brando à Madeleine Albright; son engagement politique, et l'épanouissement qu'elle a trouvé dans son mariage avec James Brolin. Aucune autobiographie d'artiste n'a jamais été aussi attendue que celle de Barbra Streisand, et ce livre passionnant et délicieux sera accueilli avec joie par ses millions de fans. |

One of Entertainment Weekly's Best Books of 2022! "New York Times journalist Kyle Buchanan details the bonkers construction of director George Miller's long-awaited and often seemingly-doomed fourth Mad Max movie via testimony from the filmmaker, Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, and a host of others. The result is an epic and – when it comes to the Theron-Hardy on-set relationship – acrimonious tale no less jaw-dropping than the movie itself." — Entertainment Weekly A full-speed-ahead oral history of the nearly two-decade making of the cultural phenomenon Mad Max: Fury Road—with more than 130 new interviews with key members of the cast and crew, including Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, and director George Miller, from the pop culture reporter for The New York Times, Kyle Buchanan. It won six Oscars and has been hailed as the greatest action film ever, but it is a miracle Mad Max: Fury Road ever made it to the screen… or that anybody survived the production. The story of this modern classic spanned nearly two decades of wild obstacles as visionary director George Miller tried to mount one of the most difficult shoots in Hollywood history. Production stalled several times, stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron clashed repeatedly in the brutal Namib Desert, and Miller’s crew engineered death-defying action scenes that were among the most dangerous ever committed to film. Even accomplished Hollywood figures are flummoxed by the accomplishment: As the director Steven Soderbergh has said, “I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film, and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead.” Kyle Buchanan takes readers through every step of that moviemaking experience in vivid detail, from Fury Road’s unexpected origins through its outlandish casting process to the big-studio battles that nearly mutilated a masterpiece. But he takes the deepest dive in reporting the astonishing facts behind a shoot so unconventional that the film’s fantasy world began to bleed into the real lives of its cast and crew. As they fought and endured in a wasteland of their own, the only way forward was to have faith in their director’s mad vision. But how could Miller persevere when almost everything seemed to be stacked against him? With hundreds of exclusive interviews and details about the making of Fury Road, readers will be left with one undeniable conclusion: There has never been a movie so drenched in sweat, so forged by fire, and so epic in scope. |

"Soules's excellent book makes sense of the capitalist forces we all feel but cannot always name… Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin arms architects and the general public with an essential understanding of how capitalism makes property. Required reading for those who think tomorrow can be different from today."— Jack Self, coeditor of Real Estates: Life Without Debt In Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin , Matthew Soules issues an indictment of how finance capitalism dramatically alters not only architectural forms but also the very nature of our cities and societies. We rarely consider architecture to be an important factor in contemporary economic and political debates, yet sparsely occupied ultra-thin "pencil towers" develop in our cities, functioning as speculative wealth storage for the superrich, and cavernous "iceberg" homes extend architectural assets many stories below street level. Meanwhile, communities around the globe are blighted by zombie and ghost urbanism, marked by unoccupied neighborhoods and abandoned housing developments. Learn how the use of architecture as an investment tool has accelerated in recent years, heightening inequality and contributing to worldwide financial instability: • See how investment imperatives shape what and how we build, changing the very structure of our communities • Delve into high-profile projects, like the luxury apartments of architect Rafael Viñoly's 432 Park Avenue • Understand the convergence of technology, finance, and spirituality, which together are configuring the financialized walls within which we eat, sleep, and work Includes dozens of photos and drawings of architectural phenomena that have changed the way we live. Essential reading for anyone interested in architecture, design, economics, and understanding the way our world is formed. |
