Описание: Heavy Metal: Its Story in Pictures is a colorful guide to this complex but enormously popular subject, including a look at festivals, fans, and the heavy metal lifestyle. Over 350 photographs feature heavy metal's cutting-edge bands on stage--with some candid behind-the-scenes shots, too. Each chapter starts with a detailed chronological timeline of major events--band formations and fold-ups; seminal album releases; important tours and gigs--followed by a photographic coverage of the decade.
Heavy metal developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues, progressive, and psychedelic rock, heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. It did not take long before the first heavy metal bands--the blues-based Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple being the leaders--attracted large audiences and significant album sales. Often critically and publicly reviled--something that is true to this day--few of these hard rock pioneers would continue on into the heavy metal genre.
By the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence. Mot rhead introduced a punk-rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands such as Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and Saxon followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the 1970s, heavy metal had attracted a huge following of headbanging fans. Behind the music ran a vein of anti-authoritarianism and--more insinuated than real--Satanism and black magic that really got the pundits talking, as did the aggression and violence implied by so many band names and song titles.
Heavy Metal: Its Story in Pictureslooks carefully at the ancient history--the 1960s through to the start of the 1980s--but the bulk of the book concentrates on the last 30 years that saw the splintering of the genre into a myriad forms: from the great thrash metal bands--Exodus, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeath, Slayer and then Kreator, Sodom, and Destruction, and Brazil's Sepultura--to metalcore, that combines various elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, by way of death metal, black metal, power metal, doom metal, gothic metal, glam metal, alternative metal, nu metal, folk metal, Viking metal, drone metal, sludge metal, extreme metal, and even retro-metal.
From Donington to Ozzfest, Hard Rock Hell to Sonisphere, festival-going has become a rite of passage in the metal world. With Heavy Metal: Its Story in Pictures, get an up-close look at Hellfest, FortaRock, Zwergenaufstand Open Air, Eisenwahn, Wacken, and Jalometalli and take a stunning visual tour through the evolution of heavy metal.

Автор: Heatley David Название: Qualification: A Graphic Memoir in Twelve Steps ISBN: 0375425403 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780375425400 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 16520.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: From the author of My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down, a new graphic memoir brimming with black humor, that explores the ultimate irony: the author's addiction to 12-step programs. David Heatley had an unquestionably troubled and eccentric childhood: father a sexually repressed alcoholic, mother an overworked compulsive overeater. Then David's parents enter the world of 12-step programs and find a sense of support and community. It seems to help. David, meanwhile, grows up struggling with his own troublesome sexual urges and seeking some way to make sense of it all. Eventually he starts attending meetings too. Alcoholics Anonymous. Narcotics Anonymous. Overeaters Anonymous. Debtors Anonymous. Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. More and more meetings. Meetings for issues he doesn't have. With stark, sharply drawn art and unflinching honesty, Heatley explores the strange and touching relationships he develops, and the truths about himself and his family he is forced to confront while "working" an ever-increasing number of programs. The result is a complicated, unsettling, and hilarious journey--of far more than 12 steps.

Описание: Eliza Doolittle, Holly Golightly, Sabrina Fairchild-these character names immediately bring to mind the elfin charms of one of the most beautiful actresses stage and screen have ever seen: Audrey Hepburn, whose talent and work for UNICEF showed that she had more than beauty to offer.
Nearly two decades after her final film appearance, film star, style icon, and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn continues to captivate the world with her beauty, grace, image, and activism. She was one of the most successful and popular actress in the world, and shared the screen with the greatest leading men in Hollywood, from Gregory Peck to Cary Grant. Her beauty charmed audiences, conveying a delicate strength in all her best roles. She remains a symbol of fashion, and the "Audrey" look-hairstyles, gowns, suits-is as popular today as during her life.
She was also one of the first activist stars as the public face of UNICEF for over twenty years. Yet her life was not a complete fairy tale. She endured early life in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, and saw many children her own age shipped off to concentration camps. She suffered miscarriages and failed marriages, yet throughout maintained her grace and dignity as a public figure. This book explores her amazing life, with a special focus on her iconic films and fashion styles. Through discussions of her film and charity work, reminiscences from friends and collaborators, and photographs of her various looks over the years, this book reveals the woman and the icon.

After suffering a lifetime of tyranny under her father's oppressive rule, when Lou-Lou sees a chance to make a break with the man she loves, she takes it. Problem is, daddy's also known as Big Bobby Joe, a dangerous and powerful man in the local area--powerful enough to put out a sixty grand bounty on the head of the man she's run off with, who also happens to be one of his ex-employees.
With every criminal affiliate out looking for them, making good on their getaway doesn't seem promising. Even their so-called friends are on the take, willing to pull a double-cross if that's what's going to turn them a quick buck. But Big Bobby Joe hasn't counted on his daughter's resolve to distance herself from him. No matter what he throws at her, no matter what he does, she's going to get away--or die trying.
