Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Guralnick, Peter, PUBLISHER: Back Bay Books, One of the most influential singers and songwriters of all time, Sam Cooke was among the first to blend gospel music and secular themes--the early foundation of soul music. He was the opposite of Elvis: a black performer who appealed to white audiences, who wrote his own songs, who controlled his own business destiny. No biography has previously been written that fully captures Sam Cooke's accomplishments, the importance of his contribution to American music, the drama that accompanied his rise in the early days of the civil rights movement, and the mystery that surrounds his death. Bestselling author Peter Guralnick tells this moving and significant story, from Cooke's childhood as a choirboy to an adulthood when he was anything but. With appearances by Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, James Brown, Harry Belafonte, Aretha Franklin, Fidel Castro, The Beatles, Sonny and Cher, Bob Dylan, and other central figures of this explosive era, DREAM BOOGIE is a compelling depiction of one man striving to achieve his vision despite all obstacles--and an epic portrait of America during the turbulent and hopeful s and s. The triumph of the book is the vividness with which Peter Guralnick conveys the astonishing richness of the black America of this era-the drama, force, and feeling of the story.

Jack Kerouac
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miles, Barry, PUBLISHER: Henry Holt & Company, An intimate biography of the writer who has become an American icon. More than fifty years after the publication of On the Road, Jack Kerouac is more read and revered by a new generation than ever before. Why this is so is the subject of Barry Miles's fresh and revealing portrait of the writer who is the acknowledged leader of the Beat movement, the group of writers that included Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, who together influenced the direction of writing and culture more than any group of artists since England's Bloomsbury. From his birth in blue-collar Lowell, Massachusetts in to his years at Columbia University during World War II where he first met Allen Ginsberg and all the wild times that followed with friends such as Neal Cassady and Gary Snyder, here is the story of Jack Kerouac's life as never told before. Barry Miles draws on his close friendship with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs to offer new insight into both the exuberance and dismay of the man who inspired a whole generation to take to the road. Kerouac is now an icon, an image, an attitude, and a new generation looks to him as a symbol of freedom. Barry Miles shows us Kerouac the man and Kerouac the leg, his longing for greatness and the consequences of achieving it.

Winston S. Churchill, Volume 4: World in Torment,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilbert, Martin, PUBLISHER: Hillsdale College Press, "Winston S. Churchill: World In Torment, " is the fourth volume of the definitive biography of Winston S. Churchill. Covering the years to , Martin Gilbert's fascinating account carefully traces Churchill's wide-ranging activities and shows how, by his persuasive oratory, administrative skill, and masterful contributions to Cabinet discussions, Churchill regained, only a few years after the disaster of Dardanelles, a leading position in British political life.There are many dramatic and controversial episodes: the German breakthrough on the Western Front in March , the anti-Bolshevik Intervention in , negotiating the Irish Treaty, consolidating the Jewish National Home in Palestine, and the Chanak crisis with Turkey. In all these, and many other events, Churchill's leading role is explained and illuminated in Martin Gilbert's precise, masterful style.The Churchill who emerges from these pages is a complex, gifted, energetic, troubled man who made a forceful impact on his contemporaries; a man whose remarkable skills were admired by his colleagues, but who often angered - even maddened - them by what he said and did.In a moving final chapter, covering a period when Churchill was without a seat in Parliament for the first time since , Martin Gilbert brilliantly draws together the many strands of time in Churchill's life when his political triumphs were overshadowed by personal sorrows, by his increasingly somber reflections on the backward march of nations and society, and by his stark forecasts of dangers to come.
Henry Kaplan and the Story of Hodgkin's Disease
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jacobs, Charlotte DeCroes, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, In the s, ninety-five percent of patients with Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of lymph tissue which afflicts young adults, died. Today most are cured, due mainly to the efforts of Dr. Henry Kaplan. "Henry Kaplan and the Story of Hodgkin's Disease" explores the life of this multifaceted, internationally known radiation oncologist, called a "saint" by some, a "malignant son of a bitch" by others. Kaplan's passion to cure cancer dominated his life and helped him weather the controversy that marked each of his innovations, but it extracted a high price, leaving casualties along the way. Most never knew of his family struggles, his ill-fated love affair with Stanford University, or the humanitarian efforts that imperiled him. Today, Kaplan ranks as one of the foremost physician-scientists in the history of cancer medicine. In this book Charlotte Jacobs gives us the first account of a remarkable man who changed the face of cancer therapy and the history of a once fatal, now curable, cancer. She presents a dual drama --the biography of this renowned man who called cancer his "Moby Dick" and the history of Hodgkin's disease, the malignancy he set out to annihilate. The book recounts the history of Hodgkin's disease, first described in : the key figures, the serendipitous discoveries of radiation and chemotherapy, the improving cure rates, the unanticipated toxicities. The lives of individual patients, bold enough to undergo experimental therapies, lend poignancy to the successes and failures. Acquista Ora
Muriel Barbery - L'eleganza del riccio
Parigi, rue de Grenelle numero 7. Un elegante palazzo abitato da famiglie dell'alta borghesia. Ci vivono ministri, burocrati, maitres à penser della cultura culinaria. Dalla sua guardiola assiste allo scorrere di questa vita di lussuosa vacuità la portinaia Renée, che appare in tutto e per tutto conforme all'idea stessa della portinaia: grassa, sciatta, scorbutica e teledipendente. Niente di strano, dunque. Tranne il fatto che, all'insaputa di tutti, Renée è una coltissima autodidatta che adora l'arte, la filosofia, la musica, la cultura giapponese. Cita Marx, Proust, Kant... dal punto di vista intellettuale è in grado di farsi beffe dei suoi ricchi e boriosi padroni. Ma tutti nel palazzo ignorano le sue raffinate conoscenze, che lei si cura di tenere rigorosamente nascoste, dissimulandole con umorismo sornione. Poi c'è Paloma, la figlia di un ministro ottuso; dodicenne geniale, brillante e fin troppo lucida che, stanca di vivere, ha deciso di farla finita (il 16 giugno, giorno del suo tredicesimo compleanno). Fino ad allora continuerà a fingere di essere una ragazzina mediocre e imbevuta di sottocultura adolescenziale come tutte le altre, segretamente osservando con sguardo critico e severo l'ambiente che la circonda. Due personaggi in incognito, quindi, diversi eppure accomunati dallo sguardo ironicamente disincantato, che ignari l'uno dell'impostura dell'altro, si incontreranno solo grazie all'arrivo di monsieur Ozu, un ricco giapponese, il solo che saprà smascherare Renée.
