Описание: As the lead singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison s searing poetic vision and voracious appetite for sexual, spiritual, and psychedelic experience inflamed the spirit and psyche of a generation. Since his mysterious death in 1971, millions more fans from a new generation have embraced his legacy, as layers of myth have gathered to enshroud the life, career, and true character of the man who was James Douglas Morrison.
In "Jim Morrison," critically acclaimed journalist Stephen Davis, author of "Hammer of the Gods," unmasks Morrison s constructed personas of the Lizard King and Mr. Mojo Risin to reveal a man of fierce intelligence whose own destructive tendencies both fueled his creative ambitions and brought about his downfall. Gathered from dozens of original interviews and investigations of Morrison s personal journals, Davis has assembled a vivid portrait of a misunderstood genius, tracing the arc of Morrison s life from his troubled youth to his international stardom, when his drug and alcohol binges, tumultuous sexual affairs, and fractious personal relationships reached a frenzied peak. For the first time, Davis is able to reconstruct Morrison s last days in Paris to solve one of the greatest mysteries in music history in a shocking final chapter.
Compelling and harrowing, intimate and revelatory, "Jim Morrison" is the definitive biography of the rock idol in snakeskin and leather who defined the 1960s."

Описание: In After We Die, philosopher Stephen T. Davis subjects one of Christianity's key beliefs - that Christians not only will survive death but also will enjoy bodily resurrection - to searching philosophical analysis. Facing each critique squarely, Davis contends that traditional, historic belief about the eschatological future is philosophically defensible. Davis examines personal extinction, reincarnation, and immortality of the soul. By juxtaposing two systems of salvation - reincarnation/karma and resurrection/grace - Davis explores the Christian claim that humans will be raised from the dead, as well as the radical Christian assertions of Jesus' resurrection, ascension, and long-anticipated return. Davis finally addresses Christian thinking about heaven, hell, and purgatory. The philosophical defense of Christianity's core beliefs enables Davis to render a reasonable answer to the eternal question of what happens to us after we die. After We Die is essential reading for teachers and students of philosophy, theology, and Bible, as well as anyone interested in a reasoned analysis of historic Christian faith, particularly as it pertains to the inevitable end of each and every human being.

Описание: This book is a historical accounting of Canada's R&D programs in infrared signature suppression (IRSS) for military platforms, particularly warships and tactical helicopters. The R&D program that took place at Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES) between 1975 and 1980 is detailed. The Canadian Navy was preparing to build new City class patrol frigates and to refit existing Tribal class DDH-280 destroyers at the time. The most significant infrared (IR) emitter on a warship is the hot engine exhaust ducts. An IRSS system capable of preventing heat-seeking missiles from detecting warships was invented. The "DRES Ball" is a cooled exhaust system with optical blockage. It was patented in 1982 and later licensed to W.R. Davis Engineering Limited ("Davis"). The DRES Ball was installed on all Canadian Patrol Frigates and a light-weight variant, known as the "Eductor/Diffuser," was installed on all DDH-280 destroyers. Both maritime systems were adapted for use on tactical helicopters and 30 Canadian CH-146 "Griffon" helicopters are fitted with these systems today. Davis was involved in all of this work under contracts with the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) in which DND retained ownership of all intellectual property (IP).Software dubbed "ShipIR" was developed to model the IR signature of warships beginning in 1992. A module known as the Naval Threat Countermeasures Simulator (NTCS) was also developed capable of modelling the engagement between a warship and an incoming IR-guided missile. ShipIR/NTCS was developed by Davis under contracts with DND. It has been the NATO standard software for IR studies for the last two decades.Having addressed the most significant IR emitters on warships, attention turned to the problem of IR radiation from sun-heated surfaces of the ship. This work began in 2003. The Onboard Signature Manager allows the ship operator to control the ship's IR signature in real time. The ship's skin is divided into zones that are fitted with temperature sensors and spray nozzles. Sea water is sprayed on the skin to maintain a temperature that enables the ship to blend in with the sky/sea background. A sea water injection system was also developed that further cools the exhaust gases from the ship's engines. These Davis proposed concepts were reduced to practice under contracts with DND. The second theme and major focus of the book is on the mismanagement of the IRSS intellectual property (IP) by Canadian Patents and Development Limited (CPDL) and DND as well as the unauthorized use and misappropriation of that IP by Davis. The book describes a 22-year long dispute between DND and the inventors that began with letters of complaint, the filing of formal grievances, and finally the conduct of a Crown-funded Independent Review intended to settle the matter. The Independent Reviewer concluded that serious communication problems within government had resulted in a deficient license being issued to Davis. The license had also been poorly administered and not enforced. The Reviewer was also critical that the license duration was the term of the patents rather than the useful life of the technology. The Reviewer recommended that: (i) Davis be approached to amend the license retroactively and that legal action be taken if Davis refused to do so, and (ii) the inventors be compensated for unrealized royalties. Neither recommendation was implemented. The inventors subsequently filed a lawsuit against DND and Davis. The suit was dismissed more than 14 years later on the basis of undue delay. A second law suit for solicitor's negligence was filed after Davis was able to extricate himself from the action due to a procedural error. That suit was eventually settled by the Alberta Lawyers Insurance Association. Davis has sold an estimated $1B worth of IRSS products world-wide. The inventors have only received about $6,000 in royalties under the terms of the Public Servants Inventions Act.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"All you ever wanted to know about Fleetwood Mac's mesmerizing frontwoman." - People Magazine
"Davis is astute and respectful...adept in his literary analysis." - The New York Times Book Review
Stevie Nicks is a legend of rock, but her energy and magnetism sparked new interest in this icon. She's one of the most glamorous creatures rock has known, and the rare woman who's a real rock 'n' roller.
Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (The Boston Globe) his ideal topic: Nicks' work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsey Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars--according to Christine McVie--Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard: --How Nicks and Buckingham were asked to join Fleetwood Mac and how they turned the band into stars --The affairs that informed Nicks' greatest songs --Her relationships with the Eagles' Don Henley and Joe Walsh, and with Fleetwood himself --Why Nicks married her best friend's widower --Her dependency on cocaine, drinking and pot, but how it was a decade-long addiction to Klonopin that almost killed her -- Nicks' successful solo career that has her still performing in venues like Madison Square Garden --The cult of Nicks and its extension to chart-toppers like Taylor Swift and the Dixie Chicks

Описание: ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock their name was Led Zeppelin. The band that out-sold the Rolling Stones and made Robert Johnson`s deals with the devil look like a playground game of conkers were as high, inflated and glorified as their namesake. In Stephen Davis` scorching account of their phenomenally successful career, no aspect - however disquieting - is ignored. The infamous encounters with willing groupies in hotel bedrooms, the narcotic, alcoholic and psychotic wreckage they wreaked, the disturbing influence of the notorious mage Aleister Crowley on lead guitarist Jimmy Page and the death of John Bonham are all recorded.
