Description
Bob Marley first became well-known in the UK and USA in 1977, with the release of his ""Exodus"" album. Living and touring as an international star for the next four years, he died at just 36 years of age in 1981. It is chiefly these years that have shaped our perception of him today, both of the man and of his music. What is less well-known is that Marley signed his record deal in 1972, by which time he had 10 years' worth of recordings behind him. The four years' success he enjoyed before he died were the result of 20 years of music-making and a great deal of variety in his sound and influences. ""Hit Me With Music"" is the first ever attempt to look at Marley's story through the full range of his recordings - the rock, 'rebel' and pop periods that have never fitted in with the image of the laid-back reggae legend from the Caribbean. Looking at recordings from 1963 through to posthumous releases in the 1980s, Marley's life unfolds through the story of his changing style and from his band, the Wailers, to his writing partner Lee Perry and singer wife Rita. A complete discography and buyer's guide to Marley's releases rounds out an intimate, intriguing and revealing portrait of a man whose fame to date is based on only a tiny part of his life's work.

You empower yourself and then you reach out to others.

Uplifting life lessons from one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known...
through the eyes of the grandson whose life he changed forever.

In his book Going to the Mountain, Ndaba Mandela shares the story of his coming-of-age alongside South Africas rebirth. It is a remarkable journey, and one that took him from the violent, segregated Soweto ghettos to his grandfathers presidential home.

As a young boy, Ndaba was constantly shunted from place to place. But at eleven years old he was unexpectedly invited to live with his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, even though he had met him only once before, during a prison visit. And, slowly, they built a relationship that would affect both of them profoundly.

Ndaba's teenage years were complicated, but as he approached his twenty-first birthday, Mandela decided that Ndaba was finally ready to go to the mountain  a test of courage during which you become a man. At the end of this gruelling ritual journey, the elders of the Mandelas tribe gathered and Ndabas grandfather was there, as ever, to share his greatest life lessons.

From Nelson Mandela, Ndaba learned the spirit of endurance, the triumph of forgiveness, the power of resistance and the beauty of reconciliation. And as Mandela grew older, Ndaba had the chance to repay his grandfathers love and support by demonstrating the ways in which hed understood all that he had taught him.

Intimate and inspirational, Going to the Mountain is a powerful reminder of how one person can impact profoundly on another, and a testament to the awesome power within us to change ourselves and our world.

The young man who committed these murders would come to be known in the annals of American crime as the Mad Sculptor.Caught up in the Easter Sunday slayings was a bizarre and sensationalistic cast of characters, seemingly cooked up in a tabloid editors overheated imagination. The charismatic perpetrator, Robert Irwin, was a brilliant young sculptor who had studied with some of the masters of the era. But with his genius also came a deeply disturbed psyche; Irwin was obsessed with sexual self-mutilation and was frequently overcome by outbursts of violent rage.Irwins primary victim, Veronica Gedeon, was a figure from the world of pulp fantasya stunning photographers model whose scandalous seminude pinups would titillate the public for weeks after her death. Irwins defense attorney, Samuel Leibowitz, was a courtroom celebrity with an unmatched record of acquittals and clients ranging from Al Capone to the Scottsboro Boys. And Dr. Fredric Wertham, psychiatrist and forensic scientist, befriended Irwin years before the murders and had predicted them in a public lecture months before the crime.Based on extensive research and archival records, The Mad Sculptor recounts the chilling story of the Easter Sunday murdersa case that sparked a nationwide manhunt and endures as one of the most engrossing American crime dramas of the twentieth century. Harold Schechters masterly prose evokes the faded glory of post-Depression New York and the singular madness of a brilliant mind turned against itself. It will keep you riveted until the very end.

A shadowy source deep within Washington had leaked crucial information to two journalists, helping them uncover the historical Watergate Scandal of 1972. But who was this elusive source and what were his motivations? Thirty-three years later, the FBIs Mark Felt would finally identify himself as Deep Throat, the Watergate Whistleblower.
