Ringing hammers, swinging cranes, the hot breath of furnaces and the gush of molten metal, a skyline ringed with belching smokestacks--the energy of industry, both in manufacturing and in old-fashioned human diligence, has fueled Ohio since its earliest history as the first state in the Northwest Territory. From Harvey Firestone's rubber rims for buggy wheels to John Leon Bennet's wire flyswatter, from O. C. Barber's first book matches to Dr. Edwin Beeman's flavored chewing gum, Ohio has buzzed with inventive drive and creativity. The Wright brothers flew a winged crate over a Dayton cow pasture; Stephen Foster allegedly wrote "Oh Susanna" while working as a bookkeeper in a Cincinnati riverfront shipping office; and Ohio native Victoria Claflin Woodhull declared herself the first woman presidential candidate. The state also produced some of the Civil War's greatest leaders, including Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. Havighurst gives a moving portrayal of Welsh inventor Samuel Milton Jones, who made his fortune with a device used in oil production and then turned his energies to creating his own "new deal" for his factory workers and, as mayor of Toledo, for his constituency. At the other end of the scale, shrewd, autocratic George B. Cox ruled Cincinnati through a sticky web of back-room corruption. Focusing on the people who stamped the state with their vision, Havighurst captures the vibrancy and ingenuity of Ohio's inventors, manufacturers, leaders and dreamers, as well as the consequences, for the land and its inhabitants, of unchecked industrial excesses.

Bloomsbury presents Devil's Fire, Southern Cross: The Conclusion of the Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign, October 1943-February 1944, read by John Chancer. A fast-paced and absorbing read of the final months of the crucial Guadalcanal-Solomons campaign during the Pacific War by esteemed World War II historian Jeffrey Cox. This page-turning history examines the closing months of the vital campaign which ultimately determined the successful conclusion of the Pacific War for the Allies. But it had not been a smooth process. The campaign continued in fits and starts with both the US Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy making crucial errors. But as the pendulum of war swung, there was one distinct advantage to the Allies. This was the successful efforts by the United States Army Signals Intelligence Section and the Navy Communication Special Unit to monitor, intercept, decode and translate Japanese messages. It was thanks in part to this intelligence breakthrough that victory was secured at the Battles of Empress Augusta Bay and Cape St. George as well as the bitterly contested Bougainville invasion. But it was also due to improvements in strategic and tactical doctrine on the part of the US Navy, so much so that the Battle of Cape St. George was dubbed the almost textbook-perfect battle. At the start of the Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign the US Navy was the underdog. By its conclusion, US naval commanders had come of age. Combining first-rate scholarly research with a novelist's flair for the dramatic, Jeff Cox concludes his brilliant quartet on this key campaign.

As the white daughter of a sugar plantation owner, Winnie Cox had everything: money, privilege, comfort. But in British Guyana in 1912, Winnie chose love over luxury. Winnie married George Quint, the love of her life - a poor black postman from the slums. While she lived in poverty with her husband, Winnie's sister Johanna ran the plantation and harboured deep resentment towards Winnie, always her mother's favourite daughter. When Winnie's son becomes ill and she travels to find a cure, Johanna falls for George. But he is only interested in Winnie and Johanna's resentment turns to burning hatred and a determination to exact devastating revenge. 'The Sugar Planter's Daughter' is a gripping and moving story of secrets, lies, love and betrayal that will appeal to fans of Dinah Jefferies and Kate Furnivall. What readers are saying about 'The Sugar Planter's Daughter': 'The writing is stunningly evocative and sensual ...I just felt immersed in the story and setting from the start.' The Book Trail 'A page-turning story, full of humanity, crossing cultures and continents, reminiscent of Andrea Levy.' Katie Fforde 'Rich in detail and emotion and has the most beautiful and real description of loss I have ever read.' Shaz's Book Blog

Glitzernde Bilder Das moderne Leben ist ein Meer von Bildern. Mit so vielen visuellen Daten, die auf uns einprasseln – von persönlichen Geräten bis hin zu den Massenmedien – müssen unsere Gehirne sich schnell anpassen, um all das zu verstehen. Hier, um uns zu leiten, ist Amerikas führende intellektuelle Provokateurin, Camille Paglia. In diesen Seiten kehrt Paglia zu dem Thema zurück, das sie berühmt gemacht hat, und stellt unsere aktuelle visuelle Umgebung im epischen Rahmen der gesamten Kunstgeschichte dar. Mit ihrem charakteristischen Wagemut führt Paglia uns durch mehr als zwei Dutzend wegweisende Gemälde, Skulpturen, Architekturstile, Performance-Stücke und digitale Kunstwerke, die unsere Welt verändert haben. Sie kombiniert eine gründliche Analyse mit historischem Kontext und schult unseren Blick auf jedes Bild – von einem ägyptischen Grab bis zu Jackson Pollocks abstraktem Grün Silber und Renée Cox’ gewagtem Performance-Stück Chillin’ with Liberty. Und in ihrem beeindruckenden Fazit erklärt sie die Avantgarde-Tradition für tot und den Filmregisseur George Lucas zum grössten lebenden Künstler der Welt. Mit Energie, Gelehrsamkeit und Witz geschrieben, wird Glitzernde Bilder unsere Sichtweise grundlegend verändern. Über die Autorin Camille Paglia ist Universitätsprofessorin für Geisteswissenschaften und Medienwissenschaften an der University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Sie ist regelmässige Beiträgerin bei Salon.com und Autorin von Glitzernden Bildern; Break, Blow, Burn; Vamps & Tramps; Sex, Kunst und amerikanische Kultur; und Sexual Personae.

Bloomsbury presents Blazing Star, Setting Sun by Jeffrey Cox, read by Lance C Fuller. From popular Pacific Theatre expert Jeffrey R. Cox comes this insightful new history of the critical Guadalcanal and Solomons campaign at the height of World War II. Cox's previous book, Morning Star, Rising Sun, had found the US Navy at its absolute nadir and the fate of the Enterprise, the last operational US aircraft carrier at this point in the war, unknown. This second volume completes the history of this crucial campaign, combining detailed research with a novelist's flair for the dramatic to reveal exactly how, despite missteps and misfortunes, the tide of war finally turned. By the end of February 1944, thanks to hard-fought and costly American victories in the first and second naval battles of Guadalcanal, the battle of Empress Augusta Bay, and the battle of Cape St George, the Japanese would no longer hold the materiel or skilled manpower advantage. From this point on, although the war was still a long way from being won, the American star was unquestionably on the ascendant, slowly, but surely, edging Japanese imperialism towards its sunset. Jeffrey Cox's analysis and attention to detail of even the smallest events are second to none. But what truly sets this book apart is how he combines this microscopic attention to detail, often unearthing new facts along the way, with an engaging style that transports the reader to the heart of the story, bringing the events on the deep blue of the Pacific vividly to life.

Geoffrey Cowan and Leroy Aarons' timely docudrama about The Washington Post's decision to publish the Pentagon Papers, a top secret study documenting U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

Bloomsbury presents Once Upon a Toon: 18 Years Inside Newcastle United by Paul Ferris read by Ruairi Conaghan, with the foreword read by Alan Shearer 'A must-read for any Newcastle fan.' ALAN SHEARER 'A brilliant read.' SHAY GIVEN 'A triumph... Beautifully written' LES FERDINAND Fascinating chronicles of an utterly unique life in football and 18 years at Newcastle United, with a foreword by Alan Shearer. Once Upon a Toon offers a unique perspective on life behind the scenes at one of England's most famous football clubs. No other individual has had the immense privilege of working at Newcastle United in the capacity that Paul Ferris once did: as a player between 1981 and 1986, as a physiotherapist between 1993 and 2006, and finally as a key member of Alan Shearer's management team in 2009. This is a light-hearted, often hilarious and sometimes unbelievable retelling of the events Paul experienced and characters he encountered. His numerous, otherwise forgotten, tales from the bygone era of 1980s football include the likes of Kevin Keegan, Jack Charlton, Arthur Cox, Paul Gascoigne, Peter Beardsley, George Best and more. Ferris's chronicles from 18 years at Newcastle United also feature managers such as Graeme Souness and Sir Bobby Robson, the tumultuous 1993–2006 period and Alan Shearer's ill-fated short tenure. If you are a Newcastle United supporter, football fan or loved The Boy on the Shed, this book is the ultimate way to revisit the club's precious glory days of football.

Ein langer Weg, das erste Buch, das die Geschichte der Frauen der Black Panther Party erzählt. Ein Buch, das 50 Jahre später in der Zeit von George Floyd und Black Lives Matter weiterhin nachhallt. Beiträge von über 50 weiblichen Parteimitgliedern, darunter Angela Davis, Fredrika Newton und Barbara Easley-Cox. Zusätzliche Ressourcen sind verfügbar, einschliesslich Lernhilfen und Plakaten. „Ein neues Fotobuch erinnert an die entscheidende, aber oft übersehene Rolle, die Frauen in der Black Panther Party gespielt haben.“ - The Guardian „... Ich garantiere, dieses Buch wird Ihnen einen neuen Respekt für eine Generation von militanten Frauen geben.“ - Socialist Worker „Comrade Sisters kombiniert Stephens intime, scharfsinnige und inspirierende Porträts und Dokumentarfotografien mit Zeugenaussagen vieler überlebender Mitglieder und ihrer Angehörigen.“ - i-D France „Historisch aufschlussreiche Fotos von Frauen der Black Panthers.“ - The Washington Post Viele von uns haben diese drei Worte gehört: Black Panther Party. Einige kennen die Geschichte der Partei als Bewegung für die soziale, politische, wirtschaftliche und spirituelle Erhebung von Schwarzen und indigenen Menschen of Color - aber bis heute wissen nur wenige die Geschichte des Rückgrats der Partei: der Frauen. Schätzungen zufolge waren sechs von zehn Mitgliedern der Panther Party Frauen. Während diese bemerkenswerten Frauen jeden Alters und unterschiedlicher Herkunft regelmässig Schlagzeilen machten, indem sie agitieren, protestieren und organisieren, bauten dieselben Frauen hinter den Kulissen Gemeinschaften auf und setzten soziale Gerechtigkeit um, indem sie Nahrung, Wohnraum, Bildung, Gesundheitsversorgung und mehr bereitstellten. Comrade Sisters ist ihre Geschichte. Das Buch kombiniert Fotos von Stephen Shames, der zu dieser Zeit ein 20-jähriger Student an der Universität Berkeley war. Mit dem vollen Vertrauen der Black Panther Party machte Shames intime, hinter den Kulissen entstandene Fotografien, die das Leben der Parteimitglieder vollständig darstellten. Dies ist sein drittes Fotobuch über die Black Panthers und enthält viele bisher unveröffentlichte Bilder. Ericka Huggins, ein frühes Parteimitglied und Anführerin zusammen mit Bobby Seale und Huey Newton.

Hedonistisch, spirituell und immer dem Trend voraus: Die legendäre Clubszene auf Ibiza – die Beats, die DJs und die berüchtigten Partys. Das alte Piratennest Ibiza wurde jahrhundertelang von den verschiedensten Völkern kolonialisiert, bevor es im 20. Jahrhundert seinen Platz auf der Landkarte der Gegenkultur fand: als Schmelztiegel für Ausgeflippte, Aussteiger und Ausgestoßene, die nach Spaß und Freiheit suchten. Zeitgleich mit den Hippie-Märkten und den Trance-Partys, die in Wäldern oder an einsamen Stränden stattfanden, entstanden viele der heute bekannten Clubs. Manche waren zunächst nur Tanzflächen unter freiem Himmel, auf denen Hippies, Inselbewohner und Prominente unter den Sternen bis zum Morgengrauen feierten. Inzwischen sind Clubs wie das Pacha, Privilege, Space oder Amnesia weltweit berühmt. Schon seit langem gilt die Insel nicht nur als perfekter Rückzugsort für experimentelle Musiker und Künstler, sondern auch als Epizentrum elektronischer Musik. Über den Sommer bilden sich stets neue Trends heraus, die in den Clubs getestet und gehärtet werden, um dann ihren Siegeszug über die ganze Welt anzutreten. Wegweisende DJs aus den verschiedensten Ländern sind während der Clubnacht-Saison auf Ibiza zuhause und ziehen eine ebenso internationale Dance-Gemeinde aus Clubgängern an, die vielfach echte Experten in Sachen Partykultur sind. Partyinsel Ibiza beleuchtet die Hintergründe der Clubs und der Dance-Kultur in zahlreichen Interviews mit den Top-DJs und Szenegrößen der Insel und schildert ihre Geschichte bis zur phänomenalen Bambuddha Halloween Party 2014, der inoffiziellen Abschlussparty der Einheimischen am Ende der Saison. Neben den bahnbrechenden Clubs wie dem Pacha, Amnesia, Space, Privilege, DC10, Es Paradis oder Eden geht es aber auch um die damit verbundenen prominenten Kreise, beispielsweise die berühmte, fest etablierte Schwulen- und Transvestitenszene. Das Buch erzählt vom deutschen Techno-Boom, den Sven Väths Cocoon-Nächte und Richie Hawtins ENTER-Partys auf Ibiza initiierten. Von den Bhagwan-Jüngern, die im Amnesia Ecstasy verteilten und damit 1988 über Paul Oakenfold und andere Insider den so genannten Summer Of Love der Acid-House-Bewegung in Großbritannien auslösten. Und natürlich von den pansexuellen Partys La Troya, Supermartxe oder Manumission, die im Privilege ihren Anfang nahmen, von den Pacha-Partys Flower Power oder F*** Me I’m Famous, von der minimalistischen Techno-Clubnacht Circo Loco im DC10 oder dem einzigartigen Schmelztiegel des Space. Helen Donlon sprach für dieses Buch mit DJs wie Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Dubfire, Jose Padilla, Alfredo, Paul van Dyk, Lenny Ibizarre und Sven Väth, Musikern wie George Clinton, Nile Rodgers oder Jean-Michel Jarre, dem Filmemacher Terry Gilliam, den Pink-Floyd-Coverdesignern Storm Thorgerson und Aubrey Powell, Manumission-Kultfigur Johnny Golden und vielen anderen Szenekennern. Damit ist Partyinsel Ibiza das erste Buch, das die faszinierende Geschichte der Dance-Kultur auf Ibiza komplett erfasst und in ihrer ganzen Vielschichtigkeit porträtiert: die Musik, die Aussteiger, die Trommler im Sonnenuntergang, die Heiler, die DJs, die Psychedeliker, die Politiker und die Hippie-Organisatoren, die der Clubszene entscheidend den Weg ebneten.

Three decades after her pioneering anthology, Daughters of Africa, Margaret Busby curates an extraordinary collection of contemporary writing by 200 women writers of African descent, including Zadie Smith, Bernardine Evaristo and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. A glorious portrayal of the richness and range of African women's voices, this major international book brings together their achievements across a wealth of genres. From Antigua to Zimbabwe and Angola to the USA, overlooked artists of the past join key figures, popular contemporaries and emerging writers in paying tribute to the heritage that unites them, the strong links that endure from generation to generation, and their common obstacles around issues of race, gender and class. Bold and insightful, brilliant in its intimacy and universality, this landmark anthology honours the talents of African daughters and the inspiring legacy that connects them-and all of us.
