When private detective Dana Cutler is hired to follow college student Charlotte Walsh, she never imagines the trail will lead to the White House. But the morning after Walsh's clandestine meeting with Christopher Farrington, President of the United States, the pretty young coed is dead — the latest victim, apparently, of a fiend dubbed the D.C. Ripper. A junior associate in an Oregon law firm, Brad Miller is stunned by the death row revelations of convicted serial killer Clarence Little. Though Little accepts responsibility for a string of gruesome murders, he swears he was framed for one of them: the death of a teenaged babysitter who worked for then-governor Farrington. Suddenly nowhere in America is safe for a small-time private eye and a fledgling lawyer who possess terrifying evidence that suggests the unthinkable: that someone at the very highest level of government, perhaps the president himself, is a cold and brutal killer.

Who is Mark Twain
|
HarperCollins Publishers
|
Автор: Twain Mark
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2010
|
PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ
|
You had better shove this in the stove, Mark Twain said at the top of an 1865 letter to his brother, 'for I don't want any absurd 'literary remains' and 'unpublished letters of Mark Twain' published after I am planted'. He was joking, of course. But when Mark Twain died in 1910, he left behind the largest collection of personal papers created by any nineteenth-century American author. Here, for the first time in book form, are twenty-four remarkable pieces by the American master — pieces that have been hand picked by Robert Hirst, General Editor of The Mark Twain Project at UC Berkeley. In Jane Austen, Twain wonders if Austen's goal is to make the reader detest her people up to the middle of the book and like them in the rest of the chapters? The Privilege of the Grave offers a powerful statement about the freedom of speech while Happy Memories of the Dental Chair will make you appreciate modern dentistry. In Frank Fuller and My Fist New York Lecture Twain plasters the city with ads to promote his talk at the Cooper Union (he is terrified no one will attend). Later that day, Twain encounters two men gazing at one of his ads. One man says to the other: Who is Mark Twain? The other responds: God Knows — I Don't. Wickedly funny and disarmingly relevant, Who is Mark Twain? shines new light on one of America's most beloved literary icons — a man who was well ahead of his time.

In Got Fight? Forrest Griffin and Erich Krauss unleashed their unique brand of humor by showing people how to toughen up. Now in this sequel, Griffin and Krauss teach them the ultimate form of manliness: surviving the coming apocalypse. For years Forrest Griffin has been waiting anxiously to find himself in a post-apocalyptic future. Why is he so excited about the near-extinction of mankind? Because of the freedom it offers: with grooming and personal hygiene no longer a prerequisite to social acceptance, men can let their mutton chops grow and live out their secret fantasies of becoming Wolverine. They can kill animals with their bare hands, practice throw knives all day, and never have to say excuse me or please. With survival tips, illustrations, and photos of Forrest showing off his wilderness expertise, this book is a survival guide for everyone who believes the end is near and wants to be prepared. From eating in the wild to fighting dirty in a world that looks like Mad Max, Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down is the ultimate guide for staying alive, no matter the conditions.

PDF, 336 страниц, 10.08 МБ

These behind-the-scenes, intimate, and unguarded shots, have been unearthed after spending 45 years in a duffel bag of The Rolling Stones' former tour manager, Bob Bonis. Bonis was the US tour manager for The Stones on their first US tour from 1964-1966. This remarkable collection captured a pivotal time in the bands' career as they break new ground in the US. The photos show band members in candid, intimate shots on stage, in rehearsal, in concert, backstage (tuning up, waiting to go on stage and clowning around), dressing and relaxing, on vacations or en route to shows or cities, getting haircuts, bowling, recording in the studio, at press events, and just hanging around being themselves. Fans will see Keith Richards cutting Charlie Watts' hair and Mick Jagger relaxing in front of the television. This title offers groundbreaking, amazingly candid look at some of the 20th centuries biggest icons during their first moments on the world stage.

Minimalism Designsource

Автор: Castillo Encarna

PDF, 650 страниц, 19.50 МБ

Minimalism Designsource covers the last years of the 1990s and the first years of the twenty-first century and looks at the origins of the term minimalism and how a phenomenon like Minimal Art which originated in the United Status in the 1960s in the fields of painting and sculpture has filtered into other sectors of society. Minimalism is now used in fashion, music, decoration, as well as architecture, and it has come to define the result of the use of pure and simple lines, the reduction of language elements and, as far as architecture is concerned, the investigation of the treatment of space and of building possibilities. Architects featured include John Pawson, David Chipperfield, Shigeru Ban, Claudio Silvestrin, Satoshi Okada, Pool Architecture or Aranda, Pidem y Vilalta. This is the first in a new series of DESIGNSOURCE of full — colour books on design and architecture-featuring 750 colour photos on 650 pages.

The 90s: The Inside Stories from the Decade That Rocked
|
HarperCollins Publishers
|
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2011
|
PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
At no time since the rock & roll explosion of the 1960s did music matter more than in the 1990s — the decade of grunge, gangsta rap and Britney Spears. The Nineties might have kicked off with Vanilla Ice, but music changed forever the following year when Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit exploded onto the airwaves, giving birth to the alternative nation. The decade spawned dozens of new stars (Pearl Jam, Eminem, Dave Matthews, Christina Aguilera and Jay-Z among them); top artists from U2 to Madonna made their most adventurous records; and hip-hop icons Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls met violent ends. Rolling Stone was there to tell all those stories and more — and The '90s collects the best of them: the last major interview with Kurt Cobain, conducted by David Fricke three months before the Nirvana singer took his life in 1994; Jonathan Gold's 1993 trip to Compton to check in with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre; Carrie Fisher's intimate one-on-one with Madonna following her 1991 film, Truth or Dare; Kim Neely partying with a riot-starting Guns n' Roses in 1991; Anthony Bozza riding along with an Ecstasy-gobbling Eminem in 1999; and, that same year, Steven Daly's visit to the bedroom of a teenage Britney Spears. Packed with over fifty stories, portraits by the biggest names in photography including Mark Seliger, David LaChapelle and Steven Meisel, and a guide to the decade's hundred greatest albums, The 90s is a definitive look back at the decade that rocked.
