br. Nel mondo estremamente competitivo del rock ci sono due tipologie di persone: le superstar e gli schiavi, le leggende viventi e quelli che si consumano lentamente. In The Dark Stuff Nick Kent, il più celebre giornalista britannico, delinea i profili di ventidue tra i talenti più dotati e al contempo votati all'autodistruzione, da Brian Wilson a Miles Davis, da Jerry Lee Lewis a Keith Richards, da Syd Barrett a Kurt Cobain. Allargando i confini del new journalism, Kent - che suonò la chitarra nei Sex Pistols nel 1975 e fu poi il frontman dei Subterraneans - va in tour con i musicisti, ascolta le loro confessioni intime, ne cattura la decadenza e i pensieri turbolenti con una capacità di analisi rara nel mondo del rock multimilionario. Ma anziché celebrare lo stile di vita "sesso, droga e rock'n'roll" dei suoi soggetti - che lui stesso ha in gran parte condiviso - l'autore lo disseziona con chirurgica precisione e uno sguardo critico penetrante. Pubblicato originariamente nel 1994, The Dark Stuff è stato aggiornato e arricchito con capitoli su Eminem, Johnny Cash, Prince e Iggy Pop.

ill., br. I Clash hanno scritto una pagina fondamentale nella storia della musica rock. Subito diventati uno dei simboli del punk, hanno poi mescolato le influenze più disparate, incrociando reggae, dub, blues, funk, rap in un modo mai sentito prima, scandalizzando tutti e segnando la strada per la musica che ascoltiamo oggi. I Clash hanno dato voce e ritmo alla lotta contro le tensioni razziali, la disoccupazione, lo sfruttamento e le disuguaglianze della società inglese, nel passaggio cruciale tra gli anni settanta e ottanta. Ecco il libro definitivo sui Clash: le interviste a tutti i componenti del gruppo, compreso Joe Strummer, accompagnate da immagini esclusive, notizie e ricordi di sette incredibili anni di musica che ha cambiato il mondo. Il racconto in prima persona di una rivoluzione musicale.

Horace McFarland (1859-1948). McFarland was one of the first Americans to sound the call for environmental and scenic protection. In 1878, at age nineteen, McFarland opened his printing business and began to publish gardening and seed catalogs. Realizing that woodcuts did not adequately represent the plants, he started to explore the use of photography. By 1894, he was experimenting with color photography and his company had become America's premier publisher of gardening catalogs, with what may have been the first color photographs produced in the US. The success of his publishing business provided McFarland with wealth and security, and freed him to engage extensively in the philanthropy and civic activism he loved. He was recognized as a master gardener whose books and photographs on roses, trees and other subjects were famous across the United States. He wrote more than a dozen books on roses and made the American Rose Society a world-renowned institution. As president, he established a method of rose identification and registration that is still in use today. He was widely known as "Mr. Rose" and was a founder and president of the American Rose Society, which had an international impact on the propagation of roses. His home and garden in the Bellevue Park section of Harrisburg was an internationally famous testing ground for hundreds of new plant species. It contained 5,000 plants including varieties of roses.

brossura Per chi vuol scoprire o semplicemente rivivere gli anni 80' e 90' nel loro splendore, questo è il testo giusto per farlo. Si tratta di un salto nel mondo di popstars come Michael Jackson, Madonna e Cindy Lauper, negli ambienti di band di successo come Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, A-ha e di gruppi musicali di valore come U2, Depeche Mode e R.E.M. Non potevano mancare alcune perle del cinema cult e i telefilm di successo, da "Il tempo delle mele" a "Sapore di mare", da "Hazzard" a "Saranno famosi". Il tutto viene arricchito da eventi ed episodi che hanno cambiato un'epoca, dall'uccisione di John Lennon alla caduta del muro di Berlino, dalla tragica morte di Rino Gaetano alla prematura scomparsa di Kurt Cobain.

br. "The Baeautiful Prince" racconta la storia del genio di Minneapolis attraverso l'analisi delle sue interviste, da quelle rilasciate alla fine degli anni Settanta a quelle del primo decennio del Duemila. Prince ha sempre avuto un rapporto complicato con la stampa. Essendo una persona molto timida, si sentiva inerme davanti allo sguardo degli altri, in preda al timore di risultare inadeguato, di non essere all'altezza della sua fama. Sembra impossibile da credere, ma Prince, l'uomo che sul palco si scatenava, era seduttivo, ammaliava tutti, uomini e donne, quando si trovava davanti a un giornalista o nel corso di una conferenza stampa, temeva di dire la cosa sbagliata, di rendersi ridicolo (era convinto di avere un tono di voce sgradevole, ad esempio). Tuttavia gli occhi di quei giornalisti - gli occhi che nel corso degli anni lo osservano, lo scrutano, lo giudicano - risultano importantissimi per noi. A volte quegli sguardi sono più importanti delle dichiarazioni e delle parole stesse che Prince pronuncia davanti a loro. Quegli occhi attenti (e spesso malevoli) riescono a cogliere un tic, una smorfia, un gesto di disappunto, che sfuggono al maniacale controllo che Prince esercitava costantemente su se stesso e ci permettono anche di capire qualcosa. Illuminano una circostanza, consentono di inquadrare un momento della sua vita. Nel corso della sua carriera, Prince si è barricato dietro un muro pressoché impenetrabile, per proteggere se stesso e la sua creatività. Molte delle fonti presenti in questo libro concordano sul fatto che quel muro impenetrabile aveva lo scopo di consentirgli di lavorare e di creare spazio all'interno di una bolla che lo faceva sentire sicuro.
