This limited printing, hardcover 40th anniversary edition includes: -an exclusive new interview with lead singer Simon Le Bon -a Rio timeline -a newly designed book cover by Rio album sleeve designer, Malcolm Garrette -vintage Duran Duran photos and ads -and much more... In the '80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio. A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound-influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock-the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as "Hungry Like the Wolf" and the title track. However, Rio wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music videos and a cutting-edge visual aesthetic, both of which established the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees as leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion. Via extensive new and exclusive interviews with band members and other figures who helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration-and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.

A lost dystopian classic, set in a future without death, introduced by Sophie Mackintosh, for fans of Jeff VanderMeer, Emily St. John Mandel, and Jacqueline Harpman's I Who Have Never Known Men.'A dazzling, deadpan nightmare.' Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time'A chilling, thought-provoking tale about the unexpected perils of eternal life.' Andrew Hunter MurrayYou don't own yourself any longer. Society owns you.Bruno, a young magazine editor, seems to live a charmed life, until he discovers a growth on his neck - the first sign of incurable cancer. But his doctor offers him a unique opportunity: Bruno can choose to be 'frozen down' until medical science has found a cure for his condition. He makes his decision, just after meeting and falling in love with an enigmatic ballet dancer.Decades later, he wakes up to find himself cured, but the world is now a very different place. Freezing technology is now ubiquitous, the pleasures of life have been subtly drained and society has started to fracture. Bruno must decide what he really wants from his life and whether it's worth the cost.Fans of dystopian fiction will love this creepingly claustrophobic classic, which asks all the big questions about ageing, death, scientific progress and the meaning of life.'Whilst grappling with existential questions, Freezing Point is also deeply entertaining, veering from slapdash caper to dreamlike, psychedelic sequences and deadpan absurdity.'

Most guitarists today think of USA as the land of the guitar. Classical guitars come from Spain but rock, jazz and folk guitars must surely be American? They know the ‘great’ names – Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Gretsch, Martin. How many of them know that Christian Friedrich Martin was born in Markneukirchen, Germany, in 1796 and emigrated to USA at the age of 37? In fact many of the world’s best and most interesting guitars came from a tiny area in the south-eastern tip of what became East Germany and nearby western Czechoslovakia and they are almost unknown in the English-speaking world The Bate Collection is a museum of musical instruments in the University of Oxford and owns a collection of over 100 guitars donated by the author. Half of them were made by German-speaking Czech craftsmen expelled from their homeland after WWII, resettling in Bavaria; the other half by their former neighbours in Saxony, with whom they had worked closely for three centuries but who now found themselves behind the Iron Curtain. This book features every instrument in the collection together with a distillation of decades of research into the many makers featured. The introduction offers a summary of the socio-political background and the way it lead to the decline and almost the extinction of what was once the most productive centre of stringed instrument making in the world. Lavishly illustrated with photos of all of the instruments in the collection, plus a unique guide to help the collector to identify the maker of his instrument. The first book of its kind in the English language it is published in co-operation with the Bate Collection Museum of Musical Instruments, University of Oxford.

"Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man."-W.H. Auden "The common experience of Kafka's readers is one of general and vague fascination, even in stories they fail to understand, a precise recollection of strange and seemingly absurd images and descriptions-until one day the hidden meaning reveals itself to them with the sudden evidence of a truth simple and incontestable." -Hannah Arendt With the profoundly unsettling story of Gregor Samsa's transformation into a gigantic insect, The Metamorphosis (1915) is Franz Kafka's best-known work and one of the most influential pieces of 20th century literature. Without ever leaving the setting of a single apartment, the notion of a vast disaffection takes on universal truths about the tolls of modern work and the mind-body divide. In the defining opening, "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a giant insect.", Franz Kafka begins what is one of the most analyzed and debated works of existential dread. As Gregor becomes acquainted with his new form, his boss arrives to reprimand him on his tardiness at work, and his family discovers the horrifying truth of his shocking condition. Although his sister takes measures to care for Gregor, eventually his family resents his existence as the reader is inexplicable drawn into his terrifying state of isolation. Both humane and repulsive, The Metamorphosis is an essential read of the modern classics.

Aleksey Igudesman might reasonably be described as a modern day Victor Borge. With his cabaret partner, Hyung-ki Joo, he has toured concert halls all over the world, wringing all that is humorous out of classical music with just the basic tools of violin and piano. "In my Garden 1" shows Igudesman in another light, that of a violin teacher, providing excellent material for younger violin students. Each piece depicts a fruit or vegetable to be found growing in the garden and includes a short poem (in English, French and German) and pictures to inspire the pupil and help them to interpret the music. But these are not just fun to play; they conceal useful study material to improve technique like staccato or lyrical smooth bowing. Clever use of double stops (one note always an open string) will help the student make a more rewarding sound and inspire confidence. Grade 1 students can enjoy some of the pieces and still be dipping into it a year or two later. A piano part is included to make these pieces ideal for an end-of-term concert and, for more ideas, Igudesman has also depicted animals in similar fashion in his two volumes "In the Zoo". Instrumentation: for violin and piano

*The limited deluxe edition will come with designed edges, spot gloss, and an exclusive full-color art piece* The first in Elizabeth Helen's Amazon top 5 and Sunday Times bestselling Beasts of the Briar series, a spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with enchanted fae, morally gray characters, a stupidly hot villain, and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All four of them. Four beastly princes. One awkward bookworm. An enchanted world of fae, magic, and danger. I've always loved fairy tales. I never imagined I'd actually be in one. When my father wanders into the enchanted realm of the fae, I know I have to go after him. And when he gets imprisoned, I'll do anything to save him...even trade my freedom for his. I had no idea I'd end up imprisoned by four fae princes who turn into beasts at night. I have to win my freedom, and that means making a bargain with them. They must find their mates in order to break the curse. If I can help them do that, they'll set me free. Sounds simple, right? It's not. Because against my better judgment, I'm starting to fall for these beastly princes. One is smart and sweet, the other mysterious and deadly, another flirty and confident, and the last prince... He's handsome, strong, has a wicked temper, and is dead set against breaking the curse. Why does he want to keep me here forever? But it's not just my freedom on the line. If I don't break the princes' curse soon, all the magic in the Enchanted Vale will be stolen by the evil--and stupidly hot--Prince of Thorns. And I'm not letting my princes stay cursed. Not after I've fallen in love with them.

The finale in Elizabeth Helen's Amazon top 5 and Sunday Times bestselling Beasts of the Briar series, a spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with enchanted fae, morally gray characters, a stupidly hot villain, and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All five of them. The Enchanted Vale has fallen. The princes have been forced to flee. Even the Briar has withered away. Castletree is...gone. Now, my family and I are hiding in the human realm, cut off from our home. I have never felt such despair. But when one of my mates discovers a way back to the Vale, a seed of hope blooms again. Even if we return, what chance do we have without Castletree? How can we defeat Sira and her armies when the heart of our world has been destroyed? The answer lies beyond the Vale. Beyond the clouds. Beyond the stars. To the place where magic was first born. An abandoned realm of beauty and danger. The Above. If we survive the journey, the princes and I will need to do the impossible: rally the realms together for one final stand. Because this world belongs to all of us, and we'll need the people of Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, the Above, and the Below to save our home. There may not be magic in the Enchanted Vale anymore, but my princes taught me something far more powerful. Our love is magic. And I will never stop fighting for our happily ever after.

In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she's unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by 'one of Europe's major humanist writers' (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.
