Now a Major Motion Picture Starring Steve Carell * Timoth e Chalamet * Maura Tierney * and Amy Ryan
"A brilliant, harrowing, heartbreaking, fascinating story, full of beautiful moments and hard-won wisdom. This book will save a lot of lives and heal a lot of hearts." -- Anne Lamott
"'When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our own pain and that of others.' That's ultimately what Beautiful Boy is about: truth and healing." -- Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia
What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted David Sheff's journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first warning signs: the denial, the three a.m. phone calls--is it Nic? the police? the hospital? His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every treatment that might save his son. And he refused to give up on Nic.
"Filled with compelling anecdotes and important insights . . . An eye-opening memoir." -- Washington Post

"The happiest, saddest, sweetest book about rock 'n' roll that I've ever experienced."--Chuck Klosterman
Mix tapes: We all have our favorites. Stick one into a deck, press play, and you're instantly transported to another time in your life. For Rob Sheffield, that time was one of miraculous love and unbearable grief. A time that spanned seven years, it started when he met the girl of his dreams, and ended when he watched her die in his arms. Using the listings of fifteen of his favorite mix tapes, Rob shows that the power of music to build a bridge between people is stronger than death. You'll read these words, perhaps surprisingly, with joy in your heart and a song in your head--the one that comes to mind when you think of the love of your life. Praise for Love is a Mixtape "A memoir that manages, no small feat, to be funny and beautifully forlorn at the same time."--The New York Times Book Review "Humorous, heartbreaking, and heroic."--Entertainment Weekly "The finest lines ever written about rock 'n' roll . . . Like that song on the radio, every word of Rob's book is true. Love is a mix tape."--Rolling Stone "Many of us use pop culture as a mirror of our emotional lives, but Sheffield happily walks right through the looking glass."--Los Angeles Times "Sheffield writes with such aching remembering, you feel like you are invading his privacy . . . and it's the truth of those details that make this memoir so touching."--Newsweek

The last major interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, conducted by New York Times bestselling author David Sheff, featuring a new introduction that reflects on the fortieth anniversary of Lennon's death
Originally published by Playboy Press in 1981 just after John Lennon's assassination, All We Are Saying is a rich and vivid interview with Lennon and Yoko Ono, wide-ranging in its coverage of art, creativity, the music business, their extraordinary childhoods, privacy, the true story of how the Beatles broke up, how Lennon and Paul McCartney collaborated on the greatest Beatles songs, parenthood, money, feminism, religion, and insecurity. Of course, at the heart of the conversation is the deep, rare romantic and spiritual bond between Lennon and Ono.
Sympathetic and insightful questions from New York Times bestselling author David Sheff set the tone for Lennon's responses, and Sheff's presence sets the scene, as he walks through the kitchen door of the musicians' Dakota apartment and accompanies the famous couple to the studio, where they were recording what would turn out to be Lennon's final albums. Sheff's new introduction looks at his forty-year-old interview afresh, and examines how what he learned from Lennon has resonated with him as a man and a parent. This is a knockout interview and a crucial piece of Beatles history: playful, intense, and inspiring.

Описание: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, an extraordinary story of redemption in the darkest of places.
Did you know that the Sun and the Moon appear the same size in the sky? That's because the Sun is 400 times bigger than the Moon, but also 400 times farther away. It's been called "the great coincidence," but is it really just coincidence? Learn secrets of the Sun and Moon, and get a front-row seat as they line up to show us the amazing eclipse miracle For all ages with 8 page science section. Here's a review from one of the premier eclipse experts in America:
"A wonderful book by Sand Sheff, with great scientific and spiritual content for all ages and backgrounds (with the very] occasional Bible verse being quoted alongside academic references). The message is powerful, the story is great, the science is 100% accurate, and the author has done a masterful job of mixing the scientific facts with the wonderment and special nature of total eclipses. The book is educational, enlightening, and uplifting in a way that is difficult to explain to someone who sees only the mathematics of the event. HIGHLY recommended ---Dan McGlaun Eclipse 2017.org
Eclipse Miracle takes the reader on a trip through the solar system and across the planet to offer inspirational and informative lessons about the sun, moon earth and the phenomenon of solar eclipses.
There is an amazing, yet not widely known, cosmic arrangement visible from Earth. The Sun and the Moon appear the same size in the sky.This occurs because the Sun is both 400 times bigger than the Moon and also 400 times further away This is why we can have perfect solar eclipses like we do. Literally, the moon goes in front of the sun and covers it perfectly. People become excited when they reflect upon this truth, and children really think it's cool. The book credits God for this, but in a non-denominational inclusive way. It also has an 8 page science section in the back which older kids and adults like.
What makes this book different:
Eclipse Miracle focuses on the amazing truth of the sun/moon alignment.
The book is colorful and not dated "2017." It's message and story will continue to be fun and relevant after the eclipse.

Описание: The story that inspired the major motion picture Beautiful Boy featuring Steve Carell and Timoth e Chalamet.This New York Times bestselling memoir of a young man's addiction to methamphetamine tells a raw, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful tale of the road from relapse to recovery. Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and Ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. As we watch Nic plunge into the mental and physical depths of drug addiction, he paints a picture for us of a person at odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself. It's a harrowing portrait--but not one without hope.
