What Arieh Warshel and fellow 2013 Nobel laureates Michael Levitt and Martin Karplus achieved — beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s when computers were still very primitive — was the creation of methods and programs that describe the action of biological molecules by ""multiscale models"". In this book, Warshel describes this fascinating, half-century journey to the apex of science. From Kibbutz Fish Ponds to Nobel Prize is as much an autobiography as an advocacy for the emerging field of computational science. We follow Warshel through pivotal moments of his life, from his formative years in war-torn Israel in an idealistic kibbutz that did not encourage academic education; to his time in the army and his move to the Technion where he started in his obsession of understanding the catalytic power of enzymes; to his eventual scientific career which took him to the Weizmann Institute, Harvard University, Medical Research Council, and finally University of Southern California. We read about his unique contributions to the elucidation of the molecular basis of biological functions, which are combined with instructive stories about his persistence in advancing ideas that contradict the current dogma, and the nature of his scientific struggle for recognition, both personal and for the field to which he devoted his life. This is, in so many ways, more than just a memoir: it is a profoundly inspirational tale of one man's odyssey from a kibbutz that did not allow him to go to a university to the pinnacle of the scientific world, highlighting that the correct mixture of persistence, talent and luck can lead to a Nobel Prize. <br><br> Autorid: Karen Kwek <br>

Arc of Containment recasts the history of American empire in Southeast and East Asia from World War II through the end of American intervention in Vietnam. Setting aside the classic story of anxiety about falling dominoes, Wen-Qing Ngoei articulates a new regional history premised on strong security and sure containment guaranteed by Anglo-American cooperation.Ngoei argues that anticommunist nationalism in Southeast Asia intersected with preexisting local antipathy toward China and the Chinese diaspora to usher the region from European-dominated colonialism to US hegemony. Central to this revisionary strategic assessment is the place of British power and the effects of direct neocolonial military might and less overt cultural influences based in decades of colonial rule. Also essential to the analysis in Arc of Containment is the considerable influence of Southeast Asian actors upon Anglo-American imperial strategy throughout the post-war period. In Arc of Containment Ngoei shows how the pro-US trajectory of Southeast Asia after the Pacific War was, in fact, far more characteristic of the wider region's history than American policy failure in Vietnam. Indeed, by the early 1970s, five key anticommunist nations—Malaya, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia—had quashed Chinese-influenced socialist movements at home and established, with U.S. support, a geostrategic arc of states that contained the Vietnamese revolution and encircled China. In the process, the Euro-American colonial order of Southeast Asia passed from an era of Anglo-American predominance into a condition of US hegemony. Arc of Containment demonstrates that American failure in Vietnam had less long-term consequences than widely believed because British pro-West nationalism had been firmly entrenched twenty-plus years earlier. In effect, Ngoei argues, the Cold War in Southeast Asia was but one violent chapter in the continuous history of western imperialism in the region in the twentieth century. Arc of Containment recasts the history of American empire in Southeast and East Asia from World War II through the end of American intervention in Vietnam.

This kaleidoscopic catalog, and first book in English dedicated to Ay-O, celebrates the avant-garde artist’s first major museum exhibition in the United StatesKnown as the “Rainbow Artist” for the prominent bright motif in his work, Ay-O has long referred to this compulsion as his “rainbow hell.” Ay-O Happy Rainbow Hell invites readers into the vibrant world of his brilliant art, mind, and imagination, featuring artwork from the first major US museum exhibition devoted to his work.Printed on heavy 100# paper and in 7 colors (with added green, orange, and metallic gold inks, plus 2 spot colors and spot varnish) to achieve Ay-O’s vibrant color palette, the book is its own stunning art object.

A Veloce Classic Reprint. A fresh appraisal of BSA and Triumph motorcycles designed for the 1971 model year, plus BSA's revolutionary Ariel 3 moped, and the 750cc Triumph Hurricane that was originally planned as a BSA model. New paperback edition! Presented for the first time in one book, the new-for-1971 range of BSA and Triumph motorcycles, including the 350cc DOHC twins, the innovative Ariel 3 moped, projected D18 Bantam, and the X-75 Hurricane, are all detailed in depth, along with related promotional and racing activities. Photoshoots, the lavish series of brochures and ads that emanated from them, and projected and actual color schemes, are also presented with great accuracy. By delving into the archives of several historical institutions, a comprehensive account of the hitherto largely ignored massive infrastructure investment that took place at BSA&;s Small Heath works during much of 1970 is revealed, along with its re-organized North American setup. Also included is an equally fresh and detailed appraisal of BSA&;s financial situation, from the dawn of the 1970s, until its oblivion in 1973. Besides the many new revelations, this book contains an impressive collection of extremely rare factory photographs, many of which have never been published before, and thought to be the only copies in existence. <br><br> Autorid: Brad Jones <br>

As we rush toward the end of Peanuts' second full decade, Snoopy finds himself almost completely engrossed in his persona as the World War I Flying Ace. Still, Snoopy looms large, so this volume (a particularly Snoopy-heavy one) sees him arm-wrestling Lucy as the "Masked Marvel" and then taking off for Petaluma for the national arm-wrestling championship; impersonating a vulture and a "Cheshire Beagle"; enjoying golf and hockey; attempting a jaunt to France for an ice-skating championship; running for office on the "Paw" ticket; being traded to Peppermint Patty's baseball team, then un-traded and installed as team manager by a guilt-ridden Charlie Brown; as well as dealing with the return of his original owner, Lila. Peppermint Patty, working toward her ascendancy as one of the major Peanuts players in the 1970s and 1980s, also has several major turns, including a storyline in which she's the tent monitor for three little girls (who call her "Sir" - a joke Schulz would pick up later with Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie). Linus's flippant comment to his Gramma that he'll kick his blanket habit when she kicks her smoking habit backfires; Lucy bullies Linus, pesters Schroeder, and organizes a "crab-in"; plus Charlie Brown copes with Valentine's Day depression, the Little Red-Haired Girl, the increasingly malevolent kite-eating tree, and baseball losses. In other words: Vintage Peanuts! All this, plus an introduction by beloved transgressive filmmaker John Waters and award-winning design by Seth. <br><br> Autorid: Charles M. Schulz, John Waters <br>

This volume of The Complete Peanuts features the long, surprisingly dramatic sequence in which a grievously ill Charlie Brown checks himself into a hospital while his friends worry. But the rest of the stories in this, the final volume from the 1970s, are far less sombre, as Snoopy launches his 'bird scout' treks, Peppermint Patty gets leaked on at school and sues - plus one of the great forgotten romances in Peanuts history! <br><br> Autorid: Charles M. Schulz, Al Roker <br>

L’architecture contemporaine japonaise est depuis longtemps parmi les plus inventives au monde. Huit architectes japonais ont ainsi remporté le Pritzker Prize.Depuis l’Exposition universelle d’Osaka (1970), le Japon est un acteur clé de l’architecture mondiale. Tadao Ando a inscrit la construction japonaise sur le planisphère culturel, établissant un pont entre Orient et Occident. Dans son sillon, des personnalités comme Kengo Kuma ou Shigeru Ban ont développé des approches plus écoresponsables. Les jeunes générations défrichent de nouveaux chemins en harmonie avec la nature et s’inspirent des techniques traditionnelles. Les architectes présentés ici se distinguent par leur recherche formelle perpétuelle en interaction avec l’environnement. Cet ouvrage dévoile les nouveautés de l’architecture japonaise et montre combien cette créativité unique est générée par la situation particulière du Japon – sa densité démographique, son économie moderne et prospère, son histoire, et la menace de désastres dus à son activité sismique. L’acceptation de cette ambivalence est une clé déterminante pour comprendre ce qui distingue l’architecture japonaise de celle pratiquée en Europe et en Amérique.Tirée du livre de taille XL, cette édition abordable met en lumière 39 architectes et 55 projets exceptionnels réalisés par des maîtres japonais — parmi lesquels le Shanghai Poly Theater de Tadao Ando, la salle de concert La Seine Musicale de Shigeru Ban, les Fermes Grace de SANAA, le 4 World Trade Center de Fumihiko Maki et la clinique dentaire durable de Takashi Suo. Un essai raconte la scène architecturale du pays et montre comment l’interaction entre passé, présent et futur vaut à l’architecture japonaise contemporaine une reconnaissance mondiale.À propos de la collectionTASCHEN fête ses 40 ans !

The struggle to realize and to express my nature is my lifes meaning. Erica Rutherford Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works accompanies a career-spanning retrospective exhibition of this multidisciplinary Canadian artist and transgender pioneer. An artist, actor, filmmaker, farmer, teacher, and writer, Erica Rutherfords remarkably multifaceted career took her across several countries and continents before settling on Prince Edward Island in the 1970s. There she established herself as a painter and printmaker, using art to engage in a reflection on gender construction and agency. This remarkable retrospective includes reproductions of more than 60 paintings, prints, and drawings, as well as personal photographs. An interview with Rutherfords widow, artist Gail Rutherford, accompanies critical essays by scholars and curators examining Rutherfords stylistic evolution from dark semi-abstract collages to hard-edged Pop Art. Says editor and curator Pan Wendt, In retrospect, Rutherfords work represents a courageous and often solitary mission of working through questions that are only now part of the mainstream public discourse. Ma vie trouve son sens dans le combat que je mène pour comprendre et exprimer ma vraie nature. Erica Rutherford Erica Rutherford : sa vie, son uvres accompagne la rétrospective consacrée à la carrière de cette artiste canadienne multidisciplinaire, pionnière parmi les personnes trans. Art pictural, arts de la scène, production cinématographique, agriculture, enseignement, littérature : autant de disciplines qui ont mené Erica Rutherford dans de nombreux pays et sur plusieurs continents avant son installation à lÎle-du-Prince-Édouard dans les années 1970. Rutherford privilégie finalement la peinture, qui lui permet de sengager dans une réflexion complexe sur la construction du genre et la puissance dagir. Outre la reproduction des 75 peintures, estampes, dessins et photographies personnelles qui composent la rétrospective, cet ouvrage remarquable propose une entrevue avec lartiste Gail Rutherford, partenaire dErica Rutherford, des essais critiques au fil desquels universitaires et conservateurs relatent lévolution stylistique dErica Rutherford depuis de sombres collages semi-abstraits jusquà lassociation hard edge et pop art. Pour Pan Wendt, commissaire de lexposition, « il apparaît maintenant que luvre dErica Rutherford est lexpression dune mission poursuivie avec courage et souvent dans la solitude : celle de sonder des questions qui se font à peine jour sur la place publique ». <br><br> Autorid: Pan Wendt <br>

C'était le bon temps. Les films de Sautet, les chansons de Dalida, Nino Ferrer, Alain Bashung. Sous le signe de Pompidou, Giscard, Mitterrand, Sartre et Mao, les années 1970 furent à la fois insouciantes, bourgeoises et révolutionnaires. Pendant cette décennie, la France connaît une croissance économique incroyable, c'est la Belle Époque de la Vᵉ. Mais après avoir été frappée par deux chocs pétroliers, elle a peiné à relever les défis qui se posaient : l'urgence écologique, le début de la désindustrialisation et du chômage, l'immigration, la perte de l'autorité, des repères... Pour écrire cette trilogie, j'ai épluché plus de cinquante ans d'archives personnelles. Ce qui m'a permis de confronter mes regards d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, ceux des acteurs de l'époque aussi, avec mes propres souvenirs comme avec les grands évènements historiques. F.-O. G.

Au même titre que celle de Picasso, l’œuvre de Joan Miró, par sa liberté créatrice et son iconoclasme latent, occupe au XXe siècle une place inédite qui lui confère la stature du mythe et l’élève au rang de l’universalité.Ancrée dans la terre catalane de son enfance, elle voit le jour dans les années 1910 avec les peintures dites « détaillistes » de Montroig, scènes réalistes et paysannes qui retiennent la leçon de l’art naïf et du cubisme naissant.Miró connaît la consécration au milieu des années 1920 avec ses « peintures de rêve » dont la magie poétique séduit les surréalistes tels que Robert Desnos et Michel Leiris. Posant un regard tantôt émerveillé, tantôt plus sombre sur le monde qui l’entoure, Miró donne progressivement corps à ce que son biographe, le poète Jacques Dupin a élégamment quali²é de « Mirómonde ».À partir de 1954, l’installation à Palma de Majorque marque un nouveau tournant dans l’œuvre de Miró. Dans cette période de créativité intense, sa peinture se métamorphose, devient de plus en plus gestuelle, directe et n’est pas sans évoquer les "¨Peintures sauvages” nées dans les années 1930 dans le contexte de la montée du nazisme.Portant sur un ensemble de près de 90 œuvres réalisées dans les années 1960-1970, la dernière période de création de l’artiste est particulièrement bien représentée dans les collections du Musée national d’art moderne/Centre Pompidou.

Issu d'une famille modeste, l'Italien Albino Luciani n'était pas un pape comme les autres. Les cardinaux qui l'élurent pensaient trouver en lui un pape de transition, qui se montrerait accommodant avec les diverses tendances de l'Église romaine. Au lieu de quoi ils héritèrent d'un chef travailleur insatiable, curieux de tout et insensible aux pressions, par ailleurs peu soucieux des conventions, et bien décidé à remettre de l'ordre dans les affaires de l'Église.Dans les années 1970, le Vatican était devenu le centre de toutes les combinazioni de la Mafia qui y blanchissait son argent et de la loge maçonnique P2 qui y déployait ses filets. Le banquier Roberto Calvi, que l'on retrouvera «suicidé» en juin 1982 à Londres, le politicien véreux Licio Gelli, bientôt emprisonné en Suisse avant de s'évader, Mgr Marcinkus, le trouble ministre des Finances du Vatican, tous avaient beaucoup à perdre si le pape décidait d'exposer leurs turpitudes.La mort d'Albino Luciani fut-elle naturelle ? Certainement pas, affirme le journaliste David Yallop. Autopsie refusée par le cardinal Villot concluant à un arrêt du coeur, embaumeurs convoqués avant la découverte du corps, archives et effets personnels du pape escamotés, et bien d'autres révélations troublantes viennent contredire les thèses officielles. Les successeurs de Jean-Paul Ier ont-ils tiré les leçons du scandale que le pape s'apprêtait à dévoiler ? Ou le système a-t-il perduré ?Trente ans après, David Yallop poursuit son enquête qui se lit comme un roman policier, mais dans laquelle tout est hélas vérifié.David Yallop est un journaliste d'investigation mondialement réputé. Les différentes versions de ce best-seller, In God's Name, se sont vendues à plus de 6 millions d'exemplaires à ce jour.Traduit de l'anglais par Claude Gilbert, et Caroline Le Bris, pour la mise à jour.

From the Mark 1 in 1948 to the World’s most powerful electric hypercar – the Evija – in 2021, the story of the Lotus marque encompasses ongoing technical innovation on road and track. The story of the Lotus marque encompasses ongoing technical innovation on road and track, from the Mark 1 in 1948 to the World’s most powerful electric hypercar – the Evija – in 2021. Founded in 1952 from Colin Chapman’s hobby, Lotus flourished by producing aerodynamically brilliant lightweight sports-racing cars, progressing into Formula 1 in 1958. Jim Clark and Team Lotus won the 1963 and 1965 F1 World Championships for Drivers and Constructors, as well as the Indianapolis 500. Jochen Rindt won the 1970 World Championship posthumously for Gold Leaf Team Lotus, and in 1972, Emerson Fittipaldi was F1 World Champion driving the JPS Type 72, with the Team winning the Constructors’ prize in 1972 and 1973. Mario Andretti won the F1 World Championship for JPS Team Lotus in 1978 but, surprisingly, this proved to be their last of seven F1 World Championship wins. On the road, the Elite showcased the brand from 1957. Next, the Elan was a fine-handling fibreglass-bodied sports car, while the Seven provided exhilarating motoring for DIY enthusiasts. The 1963 Lotus Cortina was a fast road car and a success on track. The Elan Plus 2 was built alongside the Elan two-seater and Europa, and in 1974 the road car range went upmarket, powered by Lotus’s own engines, with the Elite Mk 2 and Éclat, and the mid-engined Esprit produced between 1976 and 2004. Tragedy struck with the sudden death of Colin Chapman in December 1982, aged 54. General Motors acquired Group Lotus in 1986, selling up to Romano Artioli’s Bugatti in 1993, enabling the ground-breaking Elise to launch in 1996. Ownership of Group Lotus passed to Malaysian car maker Proton, and in 2000, the Series 2 Elise and the Exige were released, maturing gradually over the next twenty years. The Toyota V6-powered Evora was announced in 2006. In 2017, Group Lotus was acquired by the global automotive company Geely, ushering in a fresh, financially secure era. Launched in 2020, the 2,000bhp all-electric Evija became the new Lotus flagship. Lotus blossoms anew. <br><br> Autorid: Johnny Tipler, Mike Kimberley <br>

The follow-up to The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, the most complete work on the life and work of Paul McCartney ever published. Volume 2 continues to paint the portrait of one of the worlds greatest musicians, his work post-Beatles, and his life from 1974 to 1980. This second installment of the groundbreaking multivolume Paul McCartney biography, THE McCARTNEY LEGACY, VOLUME 2: 1974-80 finds Paul McCartney in the afterglow of Band on the Run, an album that topped the Billboard 200 three times in 1974, and won him his best reviews since his time in the Beatles. But he also faced rebuilding his band Wings, and getting it into shape not only for the studio work that would follow his most successful album to date, but also to tour Britain, Europe and Australia before conquering the USA with the groundbreaking Wings Over America tour. This intensely creative time in McCartneys life saw him writing and recording four studio albums with Wings (Venus and Mars, Wings at the Speed of Sound, London Town and Back to the Egg), the biggest selling British single of the 1970s, Mull of Kintyre, and a solo album packed with electronic experimentalism, McCartney II. During a period of diverse musical evolution, McCartney melded his own melody-driven approach with in-vogue styles like disco, punk and new wave. Away from Wings, McCartney dabbled in music publishing, science fiction writing, semi-autobiographical filmmaking, animation, viral marketing, journalist boycotting, and smuggling cannabis past authority figures with mixed success. McGear, an album Paul co-wrote with his brother, Mike, tops a long list of lesser known projects and collaborations some of which never saw the light of day that kept McCartney busy between hit records. For the second half of this decade, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr remained ever present in McCartneys life. Collaborations were mooted, and multi-million dollar offers for one-off reunion concerts were plentiful, but the scars of the Beatles bitter separation, and their complex, hard to untangle business ties complicated their private and public relationships. THE McCARTNEY LEGACY series is the first truly comprehensive biography, and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartneys creative post-Beatles career, ever undertaken. As well as thousands of never-before-seen documents, this rich volume of music history is informed by hundreds of interviews, including exclusive collaborations with all four surviving members of Wings Geoff Britton, Joe English, Steve Holley and Laurence Juber plus countless other including producers, musicians, recording engineers, designers and architects who worked with McCartney between 1974-80. This definitive music biography offers an unparalleled look into McCartneys most dynamic decade: The Wings Experience: From the chart-topping success of Band on the Run to rebuilding the Wings band for the groundbreaking Wings Over America tour. Genre-Bending Creativity: Witness McCartneys musical evolution as he melds his signature melodies with the in-vogue sounds of disco, punk, and new wave. Beyond the Music: Explore a fascinating range of lesser-known projects, from co-writing an album with his brother to dabbling in science fiction, animation, and filmmaking. A Beatle Apart: Get the inside story on his complex relationships with John, George, and Ringo, and why the multi-million dollar offers for a Beatles reunion never came to pass. Meticulously Researched: Based on thousands of never-before-seen documents and hundreds of interviews, including exclusive conversations with surviving members of Wings. <br><br> Autorid: Allan Kozinn, Adrian Sinclair <br>

Un hommage exceptionnel du photographe officiel et partenaire artistique de David Bowie, Mick Rock, imaginé en 2015 avec la bénédiction de Bowie.C’est en 1972 que David Bowie publie son album révolutionnaire, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. On y découvre Ziggy Stardust, alter ego de Bowie, vêtu de strass et de paillettes, les yeux cernés de mascara, personnage étrange à la sexualité ambiguë, qui bouscule toutes les frontières entre homme et femme, hétéros et gays, faits et fiction, pour créer l’un des plus étonnants et plus étincelants phénomènes musicaux des années 1970. L’album et la tournée Ziggy propulsent Bowie du statut de gentil musicien londonien à celui d’une des plus grandes stars mondiales.L’un des principaux passagers de ce voyage dans la stratosphère glam est un ami photographe, londonien lui aussi: Mick Rock. Sur le plan artistique comme en amitié, Rock et Bowie sont étroitement liés. Mick s’immerge dans le cercle intime de Bowie et est son photographe et réalisateur officiel de 1972 à 1973.Ce livre réunit autant ses spectaculaires photos de scène et ses clichés emblématiques que ses portraits intimes pris en coulisses. Il rend hommage à l’esprit d’expérimentation et de réinvention permanente de Bowie et apportent un éclairage inédit sur sa carrière et ses multiples facettes. À la fois distant et proche, ludique et sérieux, sincère et artificiel, cet hommage déborde d’énergie et d’audace à l’instar de l’artiste et célèbre un artiste flamboyant et inspirant, dont on n’oubliera jamais la puissance créative.

The three decades following the end of the Second World War, before the container revolution took hold over dry cargo shipping, may be described as the Ocean Freighter Heyday. Many ships which survived the War remained in service well into the 1960s while newly-built ships were only slowly developed from pre-war designs. This book looks at British and north Continental European ships which were serving international trade until the end of the 1970s. The four sections of the book cover some of the best known companies offering scheduled cargo liner services plus views of ships berthed in the UK and north continental ports, with a few overseas, and of ships underway in local rivers and waterways. A final section looks at tramp ships. The three decades following the end of the Second World War, before the container revolution took hold over dry cargo shipping, may be described as the Ocean Freighter Heyday. <br><br> Autorid: Malcolm Cranfield <br>

This sprawling, unique visual history of New York Citys queer spaces documents the evolution of LGBTQ+ culture, community, and activism within Manhattans dynamic landscape over the course of a century, spanning from 1920 to 2020. New Yorks LGBTQ+ history is everywhere, but rarely is it visibly documented. Aside from current venues and a handful of landmark plaques, important queer spaces from the citys past have otherwise been forgotten about, or remain entirely hidden. This multifaceted book joyfully and poignantly explores a century of LGBTQ+ gathering spaces across Manhattan through hundreds of historic photographs, flyers, posters, club membership cards, magazine spreads, and more. Author Marc Zinaman's carefully researched, engaging text includes first-person accounts and little-known facts that range from the humorous to the heartbreaking. From 1920s bathhouses, drag balls, and the ascent of homophobia during World War II, to the protests and parades of the 1960s and 1970s, to the horrors of AIDS; from the vibrant nightlife scene of the 1990s to 2018s Rainbow Wave, which saw a record number of queer elected officials in the US, to the rise of geosocial dating apps, every major milestone of LGBTQ+ social history is thoughtfully documented. The result is a powerful and compelling testament to the endurance of queer culture, and an important contribution to its preservation and celebration. <br><br> Autorid: Marc Zinaman, Peppermint <br>

A raucous yet reflective look back at the evolution of the music press and the passionate rock and pop journalists who defined the music of the 20th century. Totally Wired is the definitive story of the music press on both sides of the Atlantic, tracing its rise and fall from humble beginnings nearly 100 years ago. Along the way, this potent creative breeding ground for scores of writers, publishers, photographers, designers and music-makers tested the very limits of journalistic endeavour and influenced the wider worlds of film, media and pop. Focusing on developments from the 1950s to the 2000s, a period that witnessed rock n roll, mod, the Summer of Love, glam, punk, pop, reggae, dance music, R&B and hip-hop, Paul Gorman chronicles the stories of individual magazines from their Tin Pan Alley beginnings and the countercultural foundation of Rolling Stone and the underground press. He explores the 1970s heyday of NME, Melody Maker and Sounds plus such punk-rock publications as Sniffin Glue and Temporary Hoarding; tracks the emergence of dedicated monthlies Q, The Face and Mojo as well as dance-culture independents like Boys Own and Jockey Slut; and spotlights feminist and Riot Grrrl zines Ben Is Dead and Girlfrenzy along with the rise of media by and for people of colour, from Black Music and Black Echoes in the 1970s to The Source, Vibe and XXL in the 1990s. Evoking the music presss kaleidoscopic visual identities, Totally Wired is illustrated with rare and legendary magazine artwork throughout. Painting a complete picture of the scene, Gorman discusses the role played by such writers as Lester Bangs, Charles Shaar Murray and Nick Kent in the development of the careers of, among others, David Bowie, the Clash and Led Zeppelin. He also tackles the entrenched sexism and racism faced by women and those from marginalized communities by highlighting publications and individuals whose contributions have been unfairly overlooked. The resulting narrative, containing stories of unbound talent, blind ambition and sometimes bitter rivalry, makes Totally Wired a riveting and roller-coaster read. <br><br> Autorid: Paul Gorman <br>
