Описание: The startling and endearing stories behind the Moodies rich musical past are now in your future. This meticulously researched book is over 700 pages with hundreds of photos and interviews. The accomplishments of the Moody Blues are many. They started at the top in 1965, with a No. 1 U.K. hit single, "Go Now" (Top 10 around the world, including in the U.S.), and touring with the Beatles, and managed by the Beatle's Brian Epstein. But their true coming began on November 10, 1967, with the release of the classic Days of Future Passed, the first LP to combine rock music with orchestral music, in concept album form. Almost overnight, a new genre of popular music was born: "Symphonic Rock." Other groups would embrace the genre, including King Crimson; Pink Floyd; Genesis, Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake & Palmer; Yes; the Electric Light Orchestra, and Queen. But the Moody Blues, with only the Beatles song "A Day in the Life" as an indication of the possibilities, realized the genre. On the heels of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Moodies released Days of Future Passed, and music critics are divided as to which record truly launched the rock concept album. Pepper came first, by a mere six months, but there was no central theme as in Days of Future Passed. Arguably, the Moodies were first, and they certainly championed the "concept," with the their thematically albums, In Search of the Lost Chord; On the Threshold of a Dream; To Our Chidlren's Children's Children; A Question of Balance; Every Good Boy Deserves Favour; Seventh Sojourn, and Long Distance Voyager. Moody Blues member Mike Pinder helped develop the Mellotron, a keyboard instrument which could simulate the sound of a string orchestra, as well as horn sections, numerous other instruments and sound effects, and which served as the predecessor of the Moog synthesizer. This innovation not only gave the Moody Blues a unique sound, but enabled them to reproduce their albums in concert. Pinder's Mellotron was even featured on Beatles songs "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I Am the Walrus." Moody Ray Thomas was the first rock group member to regularly feature a flute in the band's recordings and on stage, opening the door for others such acts as Jethro Tull, Traffic, and Chicago, to name only a few. Moody Justin Hayward is arguably second only to John Lennon and Paul McCartney at composing such a rich body of classic, melodic, English rock songs and ballads which have withstood the test of time. "Nights in White Satin," "Tuesday Afternoon," "Lovely to See You Again," "Never Comes the Day," "Question," "The Story in Your Eyes," "New Horizons," "Driftwood," "Gemini Dream," "The Voice," "Your Wildest Dreams," "The Other Side of Life," "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," and "Voices in the Sky" are only a part of his hit-songwriting accomplishments. With other Moodies' hits, like "Go Now," "Ride My See-Saw," "I'm Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band"), "Steppin' in a slide Zone," "Sitting at the Wheel," and "Isn't Life Strange?," the Moodies catalogue of popular songs easily rivals that of any rock act ... other than the Beatles. And yet there has been no proper book on the Moodies. That omission will soon be rectified.

Fans of Karen Cushman's witty novels will welcome Meggy Swann, newly come to London with her only friend, a goose named Louise. Meggy's mother was glad to be rid of her; her father, who sent for her, doesn't want her after all. Meggy is appalled by London, dirty and noisy, full of rogues and thieves, and difficult to get around in--not that getting around is ever easy for someone who walks with the help of two sticks. Just as her alchemist father pursues his great work of transforming base metal into gold, Meggy finds herself pursuing her own transformation. Elizabethan London has its dark side, but it also has gifts in store for Meggy Swann.

Spanning the days leading up to July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress prepares to debate the wisdom of seeking independence from their British masters. While most enlightened thinkers believe reconciliation will soon replace confrontation, negotiations between the two sides are continuing peacefully. On the surface the enlightened thinkers appear to be correct; however, both British and colonial leaders continue to make plans to the contrary.
While the British continue to secretly assemble the largest naval armada in history, a shadowy plot has emerged from the highest levels of their government: an order to strike a decisive first blow and cut off the head of the snake.
Patrick Rourke, a notorious and wealthy Philadelphia Tory, and his exotic mistress, Lydia Ames, are working with British agents on a sinister plot. Their goal is simple: to eliminate the leadership of the fledgling rebellion.
In the meantime, members of the Second Continental Congress's Secret Committee have set in motion a bold plan to seek French military aid for the coming conflict. A ship full of gold is on its way to France to secure the deal. Unfortunately, the small committee has been compromised, and word of the shipment has fallen into the wrong hands.
With the looming revolution in the background, we find our reluctant hero, Benjamin Cushman, thrust into the middle of the coming storm. Cushman decides to visit his best friend from childhood, Thomas Jefferson, only to be caught in the middle of the notorious British assassination plot.
The assassination attempt is the springboard and culmination of various subplots set against the actual documented historical records of the weeks leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This historical fiction novel allows the reader to follow our Founding Fathers during one of the most crucial weeks in our history, the week leading up to the Fourth of July. It will expose the reader to the process, pressure, and politics that led to the courageous signing of the Declaration of Independence and perhaps the greatest closing line in human history, as the signers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for a simple yet powerful idea-freedom.
