Описание:
Part two of the definitive biography of the rock 'n' roll kings of the North -- covering Rush's most iconic and popular albums, Moving Pictures and Power Windows
Includes two full-color photo inserts, with 16 pages of the band on tour and in the studio
In the follow-up to Anthem: Rush in the '70s, Martin Popoff brings together canon analysis, cultural context, and extensive firsthand interviews to celebrate Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart at the peak of their persuasive power. Rush was one of the most celebrated hard rock acts of the '80s, and the second book of Popoff's staggeringly comprehensive three-part series takes readers from Permanent Waves to Presto, while bringing new insight to Moving Pictures, their crowning glory. Limelight: Rush in the '80s is a celebration of fame, of the pushback against that fame, of fortunes made -- and spent ...
In the latter half of the decade, as Rush adopts keyboard technology and gets pert and poppy, there's an uproar amongst diehards, but the band finds a whole new crop of listeners. Limelight charts a dizzying period in the band's career, built of explosive excitement but also exhaustion, a state that would lead, as the '90s dawned, to the band questioning everything they previously believed, and each member eying the oncoming decade with trepidation and suspicion.

The Story of the Pivotal Figure behind Sir Walter Scott's Later Masterpieces
In the Warmth of the Limelight relies on primary materials from archival and secondary sources to uncover the impact of the John Gibson-Sir Walter Scott relationship during Scott's final decade. Scott was at the peak of his career as an internationally acclaimed poet/author/celebrity when Gibson becomes his lawyer. Scott is then faced with a devastating financial catastrophe followed by personal and family tragedies and enlists Gibson to help him respond. Gibson's 1871 Reminiscences of Sir Walter Scott yields glimpses of their partnership that occurred thereafter. They decide Scott will recover entirely from his misfortunes with honor via a trust... and by writing Limelight strives to complete their story.
A prologue tells how Gibson-Scott correspondence, long private for over 100 years after Scott's death, inspired the project. Gibson and Scott's backgrounds are then examined revealing parallels in their experiences that lead to their subsequent association. Scott's role in enlisting Gibson as lawyer for himself and guardians of the fifth Duke of Buccleuch is brought to light for the first time. Gibson's personal and professional functions expand as Scott's heroic response to adversity then unfolds. Gibson encounters added complexities in overseeing Scott's partner in a printing business, James Ballantyne, and when Robert Cadell enters as Scott's final publisher. As their personal story develops, an operative perspective of navigating then-new 19th century legal obstacles regarding intellectual property, trusts and others, as well as the fates of Scott, Gibson and the Trust are presented in significant detail.
The concluding portion of Limelight involves the period after Scott's death and the remainder of Gibson's almost fifty-five year career in service to the fifth Duke of Buccleuch. Early Insight is provided into the evolution of a large Scottish law firm that continues today. The depth and breadth of Gibson's involvement in the Buccleuch affairs, including their service to Queen Victoria and her Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel's Privy Council, the Duke's vast entrepreneurial business affairs important for Scotland's growth such as the development of access to steam-powered transportation associated with the Granton Harbor project, etc., are highlighted.
Limelight provides a view of Scott's final decade not comprehensively represented in published literature - that of lawyer John Gibson, WS, as the person closest to his affairs during that time. The fascinating personal story presents real events unfolding and suspenseful like a work of fiction. What emerges is a complex and moving portrait of Gibson as a nineteenth century middle-class legal professional serving two of the most noted Scots of their day to meet diverse historic challenges. It is intended to have broad readership appeal from those curious about Sir Walter Scott, British, literary or legal history to readers with academic interest and has messages that continue to resonate today.
The Author A descendant of John Gibson, Robert Gibson Alloo is a graduate of University of California, Berkeley, St. Louis University School of Medicine and member of The American College of Physicians. Proud of his Scottish heritage and a passionate scholar of British history, Alloo lives in California.

Описание: In a smart and funny novel by the award-winning author of the critically acclaimed "big-hearted, charming" (The Washington Post) Small Admissions, a family's move to New York City brings surprises and humor. Allison Brinkley--wife, mother, and former unflappable optimist--discovers that her decision to pack up and move her family from suburban Dallas to the glittery chaos of Manhattan may have been more complicated than she and her husband initially thought. New York is more unruly and bewildering than she expected, defying the notions she developed from romantic movies and a memorable childhood visit. After a humiliating call from the principal's office and the loss of the job she was counting on, Allison begins to accept that New York may not suit her after all. When she has a fender-bender, witnessed by a flock of mothers at her son's new school, she is led to the penthouse apartment of a luxurious Central Park West building and encounters a spoiled, hungover, unsupervised teenager who looks familiar. It doesn't take long to recognize him as Carter Reid--a famous pop star who has been cast in a new Broadway musical. Through this brush with stardom, Allison embraces a unique and unexpected opportunity that helps her find her way in the heart of Manhattan. "A tribute to Broadway, teen celebrity life, and a mother who has now seen it all, this work is tough love at its finest and a great read for those wanting a ride on the wild side" (Booklist, starred review).
