Soon, he had amassed a cult following of fans who clamored for his next artistic interpretation. Gangster Doodles brings together more than 400 of his most popular illustrations with thirty never-before-seen pieces.

Book excerpt: Ghostnotes: Music of the Unplayed is an extended photo essay with more than two hundred images that represent a mid-career retrospective of B+’s photography of hip-hop music and its influences. Taking its name from the unplayed sounds that exist between beats in a rhythm, the book creates a visual music, putting photos next to each other to evoke unseen images and create new histories. Like a DJ seamlessly overlapping and entangling disparate musics, Cross brings together LA Black Arts poetry and Jamaican dub, Brazilian samba and Ethiopian jazz, Cuban timba and Colombian cumbia. He links vendors of rare vinyl with iconic studio wizards, ranging from J Dilla and Brian Wilson to Leon Ware and George Clinton, David Axelrod to Shuggie Otis, Bill Withers to Ras Kass, Biggie Smalls to Timmy Thomas, DJ Shadow to Eugene McDaniels, and DJ Quik to Madlib. In this unique photographic mix tape, an extraordinary web of associations becomes apparent, revealing connections among people, cultures, and their creations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James “J Dilla” Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform. The songs on Donuts are not hip hop music as “hip hop music” is typically defined; they careen and crash into each other, in one moment noisy and abrasive, gorgeous and heartbreaking the next. The samples and melodies tell the story of a man coming to terms with his declining health, a final love letter to the family and friends he was leaving behind. As a prolific producer with a voracious appetite for the history and mechanics of the music he loved, J Dilla knew the records that went into constructing Donuts inside and out. He could have taken them all and made a much different, more accessible album. If the widely accepted view is that his final work is a record about dying, the question becomes why did he make this record about dying? Drawing from philosophy, critical theory and musicology, as well as Dilla's own musical catalogue, Jordan Ferguson shows that the contradictory, irascible and confrontational music found on Donuts is as much a result of an artist's declining health as it is an example of what scholars call “late style,” placing the album in a musical tradition that stretches back centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the vocoder: how popular music hijacked the Pentagon's speech scrambling weapon The vocoder, invented by Bell Labs in 1928, once guarded phones from eavesdroppers during World War II; by the Vietnam War, it was repurposed as a voice-altering tool for musicians, and is now the ubiquitous voice of popular music. In How to Wreck a Nice Beach—from a mis-hearing of the vocoder-rendered phrase “how to recognize speech”—music journalist Dave Tompkins traces the history of electronic voices from Nazi research labs to Stalin’s gulags, from the 1939 World’s Fair to Hiroshima, from artificial larynges to Auto-Tune. We see the vocoder brush up against FDR, JFK, Stanley Kubrick, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Kraftwerk, the Cylons, Henry Kissinger, and Winston Churchill, who boomed, when vocoderized on V-E Day, “We must go off!” And now vocoder technology is a cell phone standard, allowing a digital replica of your voice to sound human. From T-Mobile to T-Pain, How to Wreck a Nice Beach is a riveting saga of technology and culture, illuminating the work of some of music’s most provocative innovators.

Book excerpt: Jesus: His Story in Stone is a reflection on still-existing stone objects that Jesus would have known, seen, or even touched. Each of the seventy short chapters is accompanied by a photograph taken on location in Israel. Arranged chronologically, the one-page meditations compose a portrait of Christ as seen through the significant stones in His life, from the cave where He was born to the rock of Calvary. While packed with historical and archaeological detail, the book’s main thrust is devotional, leading the reader both spiritually and physically closer to Jesus.

Book excerpt: Author Joe Mansfield selected 75 drum machines from his collection of 150 and had them impeccably photographed. He then documented their related collateral, including original packaging and advertising and wrote piquant essays about the machines' history, original release, and subsequent usage (often totally"off-label"). Starting with Wurlitzer's Side Man, originally released in 1959, Mansfield proceeds to document some of the most prominent andwell known drum machines like the Roland TR-808 alongside lesser known and yet-to-be discovered gems such as the Band Master Powerhouse, ending the lesson with the Sequential Circuits' Studio 440 unit, released in 1987. The incredible design of the machines themselves is thoughtfully augmented by a great layout and interviews with early adopters of the technology Schooly D, Davy DMX, and Marshall Jefferson. Limited edition in leatherette case includes download card, 7" record and cassette tape.

Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Art. Essays. LGBT Studies. This multi- layered text describes the social, political and personal context that framed the emergence of one of the most critically acclaimed artists of the late-20th century, Felix Gonzalez- Torres. STONE'S THROW attests to the importance of relationships forged throughout the most challenging years of the North American AIDS crisis, as Deitcher recounts his friendships with Gonzalez-Torres, with the activist curator Bill Olander, and the milieu to which they belonged. The title, STONE'S THROW, refers to the resonating effects on the author of a single sentence by Carl Andre: "My sculptures are masses and their subject is matter." Gonzalez-Torres brought that sentence to the author's attention soon after Deitcher accepted the artist's invitation to write the introductory essay for the catalogue that accompanied Gonzalez-Torres's 1992 project for Magasin 3 Konsthall (Stockholm). Now, twenty years after Gonzalez-Torres's death, Deitcher revisits many of his most celebrated works. STONE'S THROW strikes a balance between personal remembrance and cultural analysis, and is richly illustrated with previously unpublished ephemera and full color reproductions of poignant works by, among others, Nayland Blake, Tony Feher, Jim Hodges, and Roni Horn. In its combination of critical re-evaluation and personal testimony, STONE'S THROW marks a further development in Deitcher's commitment to writing intimate art histories. "David Deitcher is a master at the critical memoir. STONE'S THROW is a sumptuously written elegy not only for Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Bill Olander, but also for all those artists we lost to AIDS." Marvin J. Taylor, director, Fales Library and Special Collections"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African-American football player Chuck Ealey grew up in a segregated neighborhood of Portsmouth, Ohio. Against all odds, he became an incredible quarterback. But despite his unbeaten record in high school and university, he would never play professional football in the United States. Chuck Ealey grew up poor in a racially segregated community that was divided from the rest of town by a set of train tracks, but his mother assured him that he wouldn’t stay in Portsmouth forever. Education was the way out, and a football scholarship was the way to pay for that education. So despite the racist taunts he faced at all the games he played in high school, Chuck maintained a remarkable level of dedication and determination. And when discrimination followed him to university and beyond, Chuck Ealey remained undefeated. This inspirational story is told by Chuck Ealey’s daughter, author and educator Jael Richardson, with striking and powerful illustrations by award-winning illustrator Matt James.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many times if God's precious sheep would have a revelation of the truth of going just a stone's throw further as Jesus did in the garden of Gethsemane, they would have a greater understanding of what's happening to them, and therefore not only survive but overcome in their dealings, trials, adversity, etc. The Lord is constantly calling us upward and onward. All that we go through in this life is for that purpose. The sad thing is few people realize that the difference in being an overcomer or a defeated, frustrated disciple, most of the time, is just a simple stone's throw. If we would just hang in there and press on a little further, fight just a little harder, persevere a little longer, we would have our breakthrough, and we would have grown spiritually, being changed into that same image (II Corinthians 3:18), becoming more and more like Jesus! It seems we are given choices every day as to whether to press on just a little further or to take the path of least resistance and stop. Every day, deep is calling unto deep (Psalms 42:7). Jesus seems to keep saying, "Follow me." May the Lord help us to see and to have a holy desire to not be satisfied with the status quo or to rest on our laurels with what we've already attained. But may us see the place afar off as Abraham did and go yonder towards it (Genesis 22:4). It is the place of sonship that our glorious God is calling and leading us to. Going there could be just hanging in there a little while longer, not quitting or giving up or giving in to our flesh or to sin and the devil. We have to choose to go after all that God wants for us. And it's just a stone's throw further; we can do it if we allow His great grace to work through us. This book was written to help us see what the Scriptures declare, so we can make a godly choice. May our precious Lord Jesus and the great Holy Spirit, along with the grace and mercy of our heavenly Father, encourage us to go just a stone's throw further today as we press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This delightful, large-format monograph by contemporary artist Jason Jagel features over 200 images from Jagel's career, spanning childhood sketches and family snapshots, but largely focusing on his current practice, his sometimes-loose, sometimes-tight narrative paintings and works on paper. Hip-hop influences, family life, and the humming buzz of the street are often found in a single work. Jagel's work has been increasingly influenced by the music he listens to; this connection has been strengthened by his record cover designs for the LA-based hiphop label Stones Throw. One of Stones Throw's major artists, Madlib, has three tracks that appear on a companion 10-inch vinyl record, an unexpected feature included in this artists' book.
