Описание: Tom Waits, even with his barnyard growl and urban hipster yawp, may just be what the Daily Telegraph calls him: ‘the greatest entertainer on Planet Earth.’ Over a span of almost four decades, he has transformed his music and persona not to suit the times but his whims. Along with Bob Dylan, he stands as one of American music’s last elder statesmen, still capable of putting out records that matters. Journalists intent upon cracking the code are more likely to come out of a Waits interview with anecdotes about the weather, insects, or medieval medicine. He is, in essence, the teacher we wished we had, dispensing insights such as: ‘Vocabulary is my main instrument’; ‘We all like music, but what we really want is for music to like us’; ‘Anything you absorb you will ultimately secrete’; and ‘There is no such thing as non-fiction … People who really know what happened aren’t talking. And the people who don’t have a clue, you can’t shut them up.’ Tom Waits on Tom Waits is a selection of over 50 interviews, the majority of which have never been collected in book form before, in which Waits shares something truly unique with his readers. Taken together they present a de facto autobiography of a notoriously guarded artist.

Описание:
Ottavio, a former refugee from Sudan's brutal civil war, lives in Sydney, Australia; a place rich with opportunity and frustration. He has a degree in engineering but works in a meat factory. He strives to be responsible in the ways expected by his community--to look after his brothers, his cousins, and to get married. Yet, Ottavio feels like he is failing. Barely sleeping at night, he is unable to forget what the war took from him, what he left behind. To prove to himself that he has settled in his adopted country, he volunteers to help other migrants learn English. In class, he meets Alice, an Australian-born kawauja. She has a secure existence, a mundane job, and a need to find more meaning in her own life. But when tragedy strikes them both, they change in ways they could never have imagined. Blinding the Ghost's Eye is a story of belonging--to countries and families--a story of subjugation, of how we find comfort, and of promises we cannot hope to keep.

With as much impact as his signature move, the Boston Knee Party, Anything Is Possible: The Eddie Edwards Story takes fans of all ages inside the ring for an inspiring look into world champion wrestler Eric Maher, aka Impact Wrestling's Eddie Edwards' journey to the top of the independent wrestling scene. Maher teams up with co-writer and DC Comics artist Mark Poulton to deliver highlights from his incredible career. The only man in history to win the Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and GHC world heavyweight championships--professional wrestling's triple crown, Maher recounts his days as a kid dreaming of a wrestling career, including training with the legendary Killer Kowalski and living and training in a Japanese dojo in the footsteps of his heroes.
The world is full of underdogs, but as "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards, Eric Maher proves that with hard work and determination his mantra of "Anything Is Possible" can be true for anyone.

"A substance-rich, original on every page exploration of how the space program interacted with the environmental movement, and also with the peace and 'Whole Earth' movements of the 1960s." --Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
The summer of 1969 saw astronauts land on the moon for the first time and hippie hordes descend on Woodstock. This lively and original account of the space race makes the case that the conjunction of these two era-defining events was not entirely coincidental.
With its lavishly funded mandate to put a man on the moon, the Apollo mission promised to reinvigorate a country that had lost its way. But a new breed of activists denounced it as a colossal waste of resources needed to solve pressing problems at home. Neil Maher reveals that there were actually unexpected synergies between the space program and the budding environmental, feminist and civil rights movements as photos from space galvanized environmentalists, women challenged the astronauts' boys club and NASA's engineers helped tackle inner city housing problems. Against a backdrop of Saturn V moonshots and Neil Armstrong's giant leap for mankind, Apollo in the Age of Aquarius brings the cultural politics of the space race back down to planet Earth.
"As a child in the 1960s, I was aware of both NASA's achievements and social unrest, but unaware of the clashes between those two historical currents. Maher captures] the maelstrom of the 1960s and 1970s as it collided with NASA's program for human spaceflight." --George Zamka, Colonel USMC (Ret.) and former NASA astronaut
"NASA and Woodstock may now seem polarized, but this illuminating, original chronicle...traces multiple crosscurrents between them." --Nature
