Accompanying the highly personal images and texts from Coppola’s archive is an extended interview with renowned film journalist Lynn Hirschberg discussing the remarkable oeuvre they reflect.Designed by Joseph Logan and Anamaria Morris

Basic Books The Drama of the Gifted Child
Tootekood: 09232639 GTIN: 9780465016907 Raamatud
Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation?This wise and profound book has provided thousands of readers with an answerand has helped them to apply it to their own lives. Far too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents expectations and win their love.Alice Miller writes, When I used the word gifted in the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb Without this gift offered us by nature, we would not have survived. But merely surviving is not enough.The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own crucial needs and our own truth.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR MEMOIRA 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALISTA NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, TIME AND NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEAR'Meticulously written and deeply moving . . . A triumph' JACKIE KAY'Absorbing and poetic' ECONOMIST'Full of tenderness and beauty' MARIANA ENRIQUEZFrom one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers, an astonishing work of non-fiction that illuminates an epidemic of femicide in Mexico through the death of one woman.I seek justice, I finally said. I seek justice for my sister . . . Sometimes it takes twenty-nine years to say it out loud, to say it out loud on a phone call with a lawyer at the General Attorney's office: I seek justice.On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza's sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of femicide.She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her. She would leave him behind. She would start a new life. She would do a master's degree and a doctorate; she would travel to London. But his decision was that she would not have a life without him.Returning to Mexico after decades of living in the United States, Cristina Rivera Garza collects and curates evidence - handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, voice recordings and architectural blueprints - to defy a pattern of increasingly normalised, gendered violence and understand the life lost. What she finds is Liliana: her sister's voice crossing time and, like that of so many disappeared and outraged women in Mexico, demanding justice.

New Heroes & Pioneers Art of Hat-Making
Tootekood: 43111306 GTIN: 9789198656671 Raamatud
Le Cappellificio Cervo est au monde de la chapellerie ce que l'appareil photo analogique est au monde de la photographie : un lieu de retour aux beaux-arts et à l'artisanat inimitable. C'est l'intégrité artistique de cette institution historique datant de 1897 que le photographe Giovanni Previdi a magnifiquement documentée dans The Art of Hat-Making (L'art de la chapellerie). Ce livre emmène ses lecteurs dans un voyage à travers l'histoire de la mode italienne - l'histoire de la chapellerie, pour être exact - et tout cela à travers l'objectif de son appareil photo SX-70 Polaroid.Previdi a passé plusieurs semaines à suivre les tenants et les aboutissants du processus de fabrication des chapeaux de l'entreprise, braquant sa caméra sur le rituel de gestes apparemment simples accomplis par des fabricants dont l'art s'est affiné au fil des générations. Tout cela dans la pittoresque vallée de Cervo, dans la province de Biella, où l'eau pure et non contaminée joue un rôle important dans la fabrication des chapeaux, qu'ils soient ordinaires ou de haute couture.Capturant l'essence des textures et l'intensité des couleurs des fibres naturelles utilisées pour créer des pièces uniques, How to Make a Hat reflète l'importance de la qualité et de la durabilité pour contrer la "fast fashion" mondiale. À l'instar de ses polaroïds, Previdi met en lumière l'art de la patience et de la perfection pour faire face aux philosophies de la courroie de transmission.

Titan Books Ltd Matt Monro: The Singer's Singer
GTIN: 9780857685612 Raamatud
A singer once said "His pitch was right on the nose: his word enunciation letter perfect: his understanding of a song thorough. He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but by his fans all over the world." The singer was the legendary Frank Sinatra, the man he spoke about: Matt Monro. Matt Monro: The Singer's Singer, is the highly-anticipated story of one of Britain's most iconic singers, tracing Matt Monro's life from his poverty stricken upbringing in post-war Britain to his day job as London bus driver to the steady rise to fame that saw the singer battling the highs and lows of the entertainment industry to become one of Britain's best-loved entertainers. This is the man behind the image, the man who rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous names in the business, who recorded the very first James Bond theme song (From Russia with Love) and the international hits Softly as I Leave You, Born Free, Walk Away and Portrait of My Love. In an intimate portrait written by the singer's daughter, Michele Monro, and drawing on more than two hundred interviews from the most important characters in Matt's life, The Singer's Singer exposes the man behind the voice, telling the story of how Terry Parson overcame poverty, prejudice and alcoholism to arrive at the very heart of the post-war British entertainment industry as the unforgettable Matt Monro. Including never-before-seen photography, exclusive correspondence between Matt and some of the biggest names in the music business and a rich array of personal anecdotes, this is the first comprehensive look at the life of the man his peers dubbed 'the Singer's Singer', the irreplaceable Matt Monro.

In todays world, strategic knowledge management is a critical practice for all businesses seeking to protect its assets and produce intelligible and useable information. However, formally implementing a comprehensive knowledge management infrastructure to support an organizationenabling businesses to create, protect, and collaborate through knowledgeis often easier said than done. How do businesses adapt to the evolving challenges of knowledge management, and what best-practice tips are actually based on common misconceptions?

Helion & Company Plumes of Smoke: The Destruction of Montecassino 1944
GTIN: 9781804515365 Raamatud
Explores the controversial 1944 destruction of the Montecassino Abbey, questioning the motives behind such wartime decisions and their enduring impact on military ethics.On 15 February 1944, one of the most iconic buildings in European history was destroyed by allied bombers. Plumes of Smoke: The Destruction of Montecassino 1944 is about the consequences of war, written as war again comes to Europe. It is also about what wars are fought for and about those who make the fundamental decisions that affect us all. The tragic aerial destruction of the Abbey of Montecassino was and remains highly controversial. Why was this historic edifice of inestimable cultural value so wantonly destroyed? Was it to achieve a campaign victory or to prove the legitimacy of American bombing theory? It is not a story of individual bravery, although this existed aplenty on both sides in the mountains of Italy in 1944, but a tale that has no winners and no heroes. Occurring more than eighty years ago, it still resonates clearly through the decades. In a time filled with arguments concerning the laws and morality of war, this event from the last major war in Europe may result in the conclusion that humanity has not progressed since then. Military necessity remains the principal excuse for unnecessary devastation. When politicians and generals are faced with difficult decisions, when victory becomes more important than the ideals they fought for in the first place, then legal and moral boundaries are often forgotten in the fog of war. It appears that little has changed today when political convenience trumps moral courage and the importance of our human heritage. Autorid: Derek James

Helion & Company The British Empires Regulars 1880 - 1914: The regular soldiers of the British Empire 1880 -1914. Britain, India and Africa
GTIN: 9781804515624 Raamatud
The history of the British Army's multi-racial forces that supported the empire's global dominance through economic power, a strong navy, and formidable military presence.What allowed the British to create and hold its empire? In 1914 the British had the largest empire in the world. The sun literally never set on its holdings. The Empire rested on three strong pillars - British economic might, a powerful fleet and its multi race armies. The wealth provided by British industry provided the sinews of British power. The fleet protected the arteries along which British products reached the world and the UK projected its power. But its wealth and strong navy would not allow England to guard the North-West Frontier of India, or march to Peking or Ethiopia or fight foes as varied as the Sikhs, Maori and Zulus. In The British Empire’s Regulars - 1880-1914 the army and men that won and held the empire are covered in detail. In most books these men are as anonymous as pawns on a chessboard. The book gives a definitive account of the many different ethnic groups that served. Sikhs, Scots, Gurkhas, Ibos and more are all here. The work explains what contribution each made to The Empire’s polyglot armies. Drawing on sociology, governmental records and history, the book will appeal to readers who are interested in the British Empire, its military forces, and to students and scholars of military sociology and history.

Tore on fantaasia tööle panna ning lõngu kombineerides ja taaskasutades midagi päris ainulaadset luua. Ise kududes võime olla kindlad, et täpselt samasugust rõivaeset pole kellelgi teisel.

GTIN: 9781785782343 Raamatud
New for Icon’s Hot Science series - a startling insight into the data that runs our lives. Is the Brexit vote successful big data politics or the end of democracy? Why do airlines overbook, and why do banks get it wrong so often? How does big data enable Netflix to forecast a hit, CERN to find the Higgs boson and medics to discover if red wine really is good for you? And how are companies using big data to benefit from smart meters, use advertising that spies on you and develop the gig economy, where workers are managed by the whim of an algorithm?The volumes of data we now access can give unparalleled abilities to make predictions, respond to customer demand and solve problems. But Big Brother’s shadow hovers over it. Though big data can set us free and enhance our lives, it has the potential to create an underclass and a totalitarian state. With big data ever-present, you can’t afford to ignore it. Acclaimed science writer Brian Clegg - a habitual early adopter of new technology (and the owner of the second-ever copy of Windows in the UK) - brings big data to life. Autorid: Brian Clegg

The Conrad Press Euphemia
GTIN: 9781916966956 Raamatud
Euphemia Lambs story is the extraordinary history of a woman born in 1887 into a family without money, education or status, yet she managed to break through class barriers by the sheer force of her charisma and beauty. Her iconoclastic, trailblazing life was a quixotic adventure of courage and bravado; carpe diem was the maxim she lived by. With a sequence of lovers and husbands, and gregarious appetite for living, the choices Euphemia made were a sustained, authentic and ultimately profoundly moving rejection of the strictures and constraints others sought to impose on her. Euphemia was one of the most famous artists models of the early 1900s. She was a muse to Augustus John, Jacob Epstein, and James Dickson Innes. In Paris she became the lover of Henri-Pierre Roché, the author of Jules et Jim, and she was the inspiration for Catherine, the woman at the centre of the passionate menage à trois depicted in both the novel and Francois Truffauts film.

"This book engages with an age-old question: What accounts for the persistence of Jewish culture through the ages? Despite significant variations, how were Jewish cultural elements sustained over millennia? Mother's Milk: Essays on Child-Rearing, the Household, and the Making of Jewish Culture expresses the idea that a stage of the human experience is excluded from Jewish culture that includes the earliest phases of child-rearing in household context. Author Deena Aranoff argues that the inclusion of child-rearing would help strengthen the idea that Jewish cultural production is not restricted to the channels of rabbinic and literary activity alone. Mother's Milk expresses how Jewish practices, including rabbinic halakhah, are derived from household custom and maternal care in particular. Aranoff encourages us to revise the genealogy of Jewish culture to allow for dialectical interplay between everyday life and formal Jewish practice"-- This book engages with an age-old question: What accounts for the persistence of Jewish culture through the ages?

Gill Last Voices of the Irish Revolution
GTIN: 9780717199785 Raamatud
The Irish Civil War ended in 1923. Eighty years on, documentary-maker Tom Hurley wondered if there were many people left from across Ireland who experienced the years 1919 to 1923, their prelude and aftermath. In early 2003, he recorded the experiences of 18 people, conducting two further interviews abroad in 2004. Tom spoke to a cross-section (Catholic, Protestant, Unionist and Nationalist) who were in their teens or early twenties during the civil war. The chronological approach he has taken spans fifty years, beginning with the oldest interviewees birth in 1899 and ending when the Free State became a republic in 1949. 100 years after the Civil War ended, this book weaves a unique chronology of the revolutionary years through the experiences of 20 people. Together, theirs are the last voices of the Irish Revolution. Autorid: Tom Hurley

Grand Central Publishing The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy
GTIN: 9781538754160 Raamatud
In this approachable and fascinating biography of the galaxy, an astrophysicist and folklorist details everything humans have discovered—from the Milky Way's formation to its eventual death, and what else there is to learn about the universe we call home. After a few billion years of bearing witness to life on Earth, of watching one hundred billion humans go about their day-to-day lives, of feeling unbelievably lonely, and of hearing its own story told by others, The Milky Way would like a chance to speak for itself. All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other. They succumbed to their gravitational attraction, and the galaxy we know as the Milky Way was born. Since then, the galaxy has watched as dark energy pushed away its first friends, as humans mythologized its name and purpose, and as galactic archaeologists have worked to determine its true age (rude). The Milky Way has absorbed supermassive (an actual technical term) black holes, made enemies of a few galactic neighbors, and mourned the deaths of countless stars. Our home galaxy has even fallen in love. After all this time, the Milky Way finally feels that it's amassed enough experience for the juicy tell-all we've all been waiting for. Its fascinating autobiography recounts the history and future of the universe in accessible but scientific detail, presenting a summary of human astronomical knowledge thus far that is unquestionably out of this world.

OMNIBUS PRESS Babble On An' Ting: Alex Paterson's Incredible Journey Beyond the Ultraworld with The Orb
GTIN: 9781787602335 Raamatud
The Orb have been long been acknowledged as prime instigators in 1988's acid house revolution who invented "ambient house" and took it to the top of the album charts, always pushing the outer limits of electronic innovation and sonic pioneering in a parallel "Ultraworld" of their own making. Always steering The Orb's anarchic starship with an ever-changing crew of collaborators (which has included Youth, Andrew Weatherall, Jah Wobble, Steve Hillage, Dave Gilmour, and Lee Perry), 2019 saw Alex celebrating over thirty years of visionary mischief-making on a sell-out UK tour attracting younger generations along with seasoned fellow travellers. Yet, as The Orb enters its fifth decade with seventeenth album The Abolition Of The Royal Familia greeted as a late-period masterpiece, Alex's spaced odyssey has not been an easy ride, battered by betrayal and rip-offs punctuating triumphs. Behind the surreal samples, inter-galactic sounds, billowing hash-smoke, and decidedly British humour lies an astonishing life story that's far from ordinary and resounds with the depth of the true survivor following their musical passions.

Missing Music: Voices from Where the Dirt Roads End details Grammy-winning music producer and author Ian Brennan’s ongoing quest to provide musical platforms for underrepresented nations and populations around the world.In a compact and quick-read format, Missing Music collects the latest narratives from Brennan’s field-recording treks. This edition features a greater emphasis on storytelling and an even greater abundance of photos from his wife, Italian-Rwandan photographer/filmmaker Marilena Umuhoza Delli.Together, they meet the elderly shamans of the world’s most musical language, Taa, a tongue that sadly is dying, with fewer than 2,500 speakers left. The duo traveled the most remote roads of Botswana to find the formally nomadic people now relegated to small desert towns.In Azerbaijan, Brennan and Delli ascended to the mountainous Iranian border to record centenarians in scattered villages of the Talysh minority, where the world’s oldest man reportedly reached the age of 168. The result is the only record ever released to feature the voices of singers over one-hundred years of age.Among other tales, Brennan also updates the saga of the Sheltered Workshop Singers following COVID, including the tragic deterioration of his sister, Jane.Arising from the more than forty records that Brennan has produced over the past decade from underrepresented nations such as Comoros, Djibouti, Romania, South Sudan, Suriname, and Cambodia, Missing Music serves as the newest suite in the multiverse symphony of the world’s most ignored corners—the places where countries expire and the “forgotten” live.

"A revelatory, moving narrative that offers a harrowing critique of the war on drugs from voices seldom heard in the conversation: drug users who are working on the front lines to reduce overdose deaths"-- Chronicling a rising movement that’s fighting to inspire commonsense reform, an award-winning journalist shows how activists, in response to the record number of overdose deaths, are part of an underground effort to help people with addictions use drugs safely, reduce harms and live with dignity. 4,000 first printing. A revelatory, moving narrative that offers a harrowing critique of the war on drugs from voices seldom heard in the conversation: drug users who are working on the front lines to reduce overdose deaths Media coverage has established a clear narrative of the overdose crisis: In the 1990s, pharmaceutical corporations flooded America with powerful narcotics while lying about their risk; many patients developed addictions to prescription opioids; then, as access was restricted, waves of people turned to the streets and began using heroin and, later, the dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl. But that’s not the whole story. It fails to acknowledge how the war on drugs has exacerbated the crisis and leaves out one crucial voice: that of drug users themselves. Across the country, people who use drugs are organizing in response to a record number of overdose deaths. They are banding together to save lives and demanding equal rights. Set against the backdrop of the overdose crisis, Light Up the Night provides an intimate look at how users navigate the policies that criminalize them. It chronicles a rising movement that’s fighting to save lives, end stigma, and inspire commonsense policy reform. Told through embedded reporting focused on two activists, Jess Tilley in Massachusetts and Louise Vincent in North Carolina, this is the story of the courageous people stepping in where government has failed. They are standing on the front lines of an underground effort to help people with addictions use drugs safely, reduce harms, and live with dignity. Autorid: Travis Lupick
