Описание: Rock the Shack takes us to the places we long for. For the first time in the history of humankind, more people live in cities than in the country. Yet, at the same time, more and more city dwellers are yearning for rural farms, mountain cabins, or seaside homes. These kinds of refuges offer modern men and women a promise of what urban centers usually cannot provide: quiet, relaxation, being out of reach, getting back to basics, feeling human again.
Rock the Shack is a survey of such contemporary refuges from around the world—from basic to luxury. The book features a compelling range of sparingly to intricately furnished cabins, cottages, second homes, tree houses, transformations, shelters, and cocoons. The look of the included structures from the outside is just as important as the view from inside. What these diverse projects have in common is an exceptional spirit that melds the uniqueness of a geographic location with the individual character of the building’s owner and architect.

Описание: This book is dedicated to Metal, a genre of rock music with aggressive rhythms, powerful sounds and, at times, disturbing themes. It features an in-depth reconstruction of the genre's origins and development, including all the major contributing genres and sub-genres. An important part of the book is dedicated to Hard Rock, from which Metal derives.
Indeed, it is not possible to speak of Metal without mentioning its roots, which lie in the classic Hard Rock of bands that made music history, bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Featuring an outstanding selection of wonderful images, this book analyses the development of these and other Hard Rock groups that played a significant role in the evolution of Metal through their sounds, lyrics, themes and the trends they set. Specific sections are dedicated to the various types of Metal: Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Nu-Metal, Power Metal, Death Metal and Black Metal.
Minor movements and sub-genres of Metal are also discussed, to help readers understand the vastness of the whole spectrum of this musical genre. Particularly captivating graphics, designs, lettering and colours specifically designed to differentiate the various stages of this complex evolution, allow us to distinguish, at a glance, the various themes and appreciate, even at an aesthetic level, the unfolding of a development marked by recognisable milestones and unique atmospheres. AUTHORS: Guitarist Kerry King is a founding member of the Grammy Award winning thrash-metal group Slayer.
Since its 1983 debut, Show No Mercy, the band has put out one masterpiece after another, including its controversial and celebrated 1986 album, Reign in Blood. Outside of Slayer, King played guitar with Megadeth at their early shows and has performed guest guitar on songs by artists ranging from the Beastie Boys to Pantera to Rob Zombie. In his off time, he breeds snakes and works on his clothing line, KFK Ministries.

Описание: It’s perhaps the relative modernity of rock ’n’ roll that makes the genre a minefield of myths and legends accepted as truth. History hasn’t had time to dissect the bunk. Until now. Discover the real stories behind rock’s biggest crocks, how they came to be and why they have persisted. Did Cass Elliott really asphyxiate herself with a ham sandwich? Did the Beatles spark a spliff in Buckingham? Did Willie Nelson do the same in the White House? Did Keith Richards get a complete “oil change” at a Swiss clinic in 1973 to pass a drug test necessary to embark on an American tour with the Stones? Then there’s the freaky (did Michael Jackson own the remains of the Elephant Man?), the quasi-medical (Rod Stewart and that stomach pump?), the culinary (did Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne really do all those things to bats, chickens, etc. on stage?), and the apocryphal (did Robert Johnson sell his soul to the Prince of Darkness in exchange for mastery of the blues?). In all, more than 50 enduring lies are examined, explained, and debunked.

Описание: The story of rock lives in Lynn Goldsmith’s photographs. After coming of age in the Midwest in the tumultuous 1960s, she crashed the music scene in New York and emerged as one of its leading image-makers. She chronicled Bruce Springsteen’s passage to glory, the Rolling Stone’s legendary stadium tours, Michael Jackson’s staggering ascent, U2’s arrival in New York and the brooding force of Bob Marley. Culture heroes like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith became frequent subjects for her lens. The range of her work is staggering. In Rock and Roll Stories, she shares the best of this work.
