Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS HEALTH & FITNESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2019 RUNNING AWARDS 2019 – TOP BOOK Running Up That Hill is a celebration of endurance running. Of running ridiculous distances – through cities, over mountains and across countries. Distances most people couldn't even imagine. But sports presenter Vassos Alexander is hooked! Why else would he run an ultra in Paris, backwards, having missed the start? Why head to Wales for the world's hardest mountain race with a badly sprained ankle? And why follow in some unforgiving, ancient footsteps and attempt the oldest and toughest footrace on earth, the 153-mile Spartathlon? There's joy to be found here. Really there is. Vassos recalls his own assaults on these gruelling races, along with ultra-running legends including Scott Jurek, Jasmin Paris, Kilian Jornet, Mimi Anderson and Dean Karnazes. They all testify to the transformative power of endurance running. It's about the astonishing highs that come from pushing your body to the limit. The confidence and peace when you challenge yourself and succeed. All told, this is a cracking tale of what keeps ultra-distance runners running, mile after mile after mile.

Download or read book How To Be Invisible written by Kate Bush and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected and arranged by the author, and with a new introduction by novelist David Mitchell, How To Be Invisible presents the lyrics of Kate Bush published together for the first time. 'For millions around the world, Kate is way more than another singer-songwriter: she is a creator of musical companions that travel with you through life. One paradox about Kate is that while her lyrics are proudly idiosyncratic, those same lyrics evoke emotions and sensations that feel universal. Literature works in similar mysterious ways. Kate's the opposite of a confessional singer-songwriter ... You don't learn much about Kate from her songs. She's fond of masks and costumes - lyrically and literally - and of yarns, fabulations and atypical narrative viewpoints. Yet, these fiercely singular songs, which nobody else could have authored, are also maps of the heart, the psyche, the imagination. In other words, art.' David Mitchell

Book Synopsis Revenge of the She-Punks by : Vivien Goldman
Download or read book Revenge of the She-Punks written by Vivien Goldman and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an industry insider and pioneering post-punk musician, Vivien Goldman’s perspective on music journalism is unusually well-rounded. In Revenge of the She-Punks, she probes four themes—identity, money, love, and protest—to explore what makes punk such a liberating art form for women. With her visceral style, Goldman blends interviews, history, and her personal experience as one of Britain’s first female music writers in a book that reads like a vivid documentary of a genre defined by dismantling boundaries. A discussion of the Patti Smith song “Free Money,” for example, opens with Goldman on a shopping spree with Smith. Tamar-Kali, whose name pays homage to a Hindu goddess, describes the influence of her Gullah ancestors on her music, while the late Poly Styrene's daughter reflects on why her Somali-Scots-Irish mother wrote the 1978 punk anthem “Identity,” with the refrain “Identity is the crisis you can't see.” Other strands feature artists from farther afield (including in Colombia and Indonesia) and genre-busting revolutionaries such as Grace Jones, who wasn't exclusively punk but clearly influenced the movement while absorbing its liberating audacity. From punk's Euro origins to its international reach, this is an exhilarating world tour.

Book Synopsis Kate Bush's The Dreaming by : Ann Powers
Download or read book Kate Bush's The Dreaming written by Ann Powers and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bloody thrill of transformation is the focus of The Dreaming, Kate Bush's 1982 artistic breakthrough. Bush is the post-punk era's Queen Princess and Godmother, pop's embodiment of fairy. Her thirty year career has been a long dialogue with the myths and legends of human transformation, from the Gothic romance of her first hit, Wuthering Heights, to the spellcasting of her latest album's How To Be Invisible. This book will be imagistically rich and prismatically structured, interweaving the old tales of she-bears and werewolves, Donkeyskin and Coyote, with historical accounts of Houdini's wife, bank robbers like Machine Gun Molly and warriors like the revolutionary war hero Deborah Sampson. Some of these tales directly inspired Bush's lyrics, others illuminate them; all are part of the tapestry of truth and exaggeration that Bush took up with The Dreaming. These time-traveling elements will feed and interact with the book's consideration of the early 1980s, a moment of extreme gender experimentation in pop, with glam boys renaming themselves as New Wavers and rocker girls either going super-butch a la Chrissie Hynde or crazy femme a la Cyndi Lauper and Nina Hagen. Always an arena for boys to be girls and girls to be boys, pop reached science-fiction levels of androgyny with New Wave. Kate Bush's own theatrical style in concert and in photographs, her lyrical gender-jumping and the hard softness of her musical approach epitomized the unsettled nature of gender in pop at this time. With The Dreaming, where Kate Bush is boy as often as girl - and sometimes neither or both - this young, ambivalent sex symbol did battle with the culture industry attempting to enclose her in a swirly-girly image; her assault was particular to this moment, yet connects to centuries-old battles to protect or demonish the feminine ideal.

And now Nina is dead, killed by a drunk driver and leaving Leo with a hole inside her that’s impossible to fill. East, who loved Nina almost as much as Leo did, is the person who seems to most understand how she feels, and the two form a friendship based on their shared grief. But as she struggles to remember what happened, Leo discovers that East remembers every detail of the accident—and he won’t tell her anything about it. In fact, he refuses to talk about that night at all. As the days tumble one into the next, Leo’s story comes together while her world falls apart. How can she move on if she never knows what really happened that night? And is happiness even possible in a world without Nina?
