Download or read book There Goes Gravity written by Lisa Robinson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a legendary music journalist with four decades of unprecedented access, an insider’s behind-the-scenes look at the major personalities of rock and roll. Lisa Robinson has interviewed the biggest names in music—including Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Patti Smith, U2, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Jay Z, and Kanye West. She visited the teenage Michael Jackson many times at his Encino home. She spent hours talking to John Lennon at his Dakota apartment—and in recording studios just weeks before his murder. She introduced David Bowie to Lou Reed at a private dinner in a Manhattan restaurant, helped the Clash and Elvis Costello get their record deals, was with the Rolling Stones on their jet during a frightening storm, and was mid-flight with Led Zeppelin when their tour manager pulled out a gun. A pioneering female journalist in an exclusive boys’ club, Lisa Robinson is a preeminent authority on the personalities and influences that have shaped the music world; she has been recognized as rock journalism’s ultimate insider. A keenly observed and lovingly recounted look back on years spent with countless musicians backstage, after-hours, and on the road, There Goes Gravity documents a lifetime of riveting stories, told together here for the first time.

Book excerpt: Paul and his companions must save Europe from the brink of catastrophe—the final installment in a “one-of-a-kind series” that reads like “if you put Breaking Bad and Reddit in a blender” (Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi Blog) America has long sent its best SMASH agents overseas to deal with the European crisis. As of today, they decided dismantling your operation was more important than containing the Bastogne Broach. Now, you’re dealing with the real professionals: Paul Tsabo: Bureaucromancer. Political activist. Loving father. His efforts to decriminalize magic have made him the government’s #1 enemy—and his fugitive existence has robbed his daughter of a normal life. Aliyah Tsabo-Dawson: Videogamemancer. Gifted unearthly powers by a terrorist’s magic. Raised by a family of magicians, she’s the world’s loneliest teenager—because her powers might kill anyone she befriends. The Unimancers: Brain-burned zombies. Former ‘mancers, tortured into becoming agents of the government’s anti-‘mancer squad. An unstoppable hive-mind. When Paul accidentally opens up the first unsealed dimensional broach on American soil, the Unimancers lead his family in a cat-and-mouse pursuit all the way to the demon-haunted ruins of Europe—where Aliyah is slowly corrupted by the siren call of the Unimancers . . .

Book Synopsis Letting Go of Gravity by : Meg Leder
Download or read book Letting Go of Gravity written by Meg Leder and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] absorbing novel that will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell.” —Booklist “A poignant and carefully crafted story.” —School Library Journal “A gorgeous, sad, funny, and wise book about letting go and finding your place in the world.” —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces Parker struggles to reconnect with her twin brother, Charlie—who’s recovering from cancer—as she tries to deal with her anxiety about the future in this powerful new novel. Twins Parker and Charlie are polar opposites. Where Charlie is fearless, Parker is careful. Charlie is confident while Parker aims to please. Charlie is outgoing and outspoken; Parker is introverted and reserved. And of course, there’s the one other major difference: Charlie got cancer. Parker didn’t. But now that Charlie is officially in remission, life couldn’t be going better for Parker. She’s landed a prestigious summer internship at the hospital and is headed to Harvard in the fall to study pediatric oncology—which is why the anxiety she’s felt since her Harvard acceptance is so unsettling. And it doesn’t help that her relationship with Charlie has been on the rocks since his diagnosis. Enter Finn, a boy who’s been leaving strange graffiti messages all over town. Parker can’t stop thinking about those messages, or about Finn, who makes her feel free for the first time: free to doubt, free to make mistakes, and free to confront the truth that Parker has been hiding from for a long time. That she keeps trying to save Charlie, when the person who really needs saving is herself.
Download or read book Lou Reed written by Will Hermes and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The only Lou Reed bio you need to read." —The Washington Post One of Pitchfork's ten best music books of 2023 | A Variety best music book of the year | A Kirkus Reviews best nonfiction book of 2023 "There have been many biographies of Lou Reed, but Will Hermes has written the definitive life . . . He has brought to the assignment a sharp eye, a clear head, a lucid prose style, and a determination to let Lou be Lou, without judgment." —Lucy Sante, author of Low Life The most complete and penetrating biography of the rock master, whose stature grows every year. Since his death ten years ago, Lou Reed’s living presence has only grown. The great rock-poet presided over the marriage of Brill Building pop and the European avant-garde, and left American culture transfigured. In Lou Reed: The King of New York, Will Hermes offers the definitive narrative of Reed’s life and legacy, dramatizing his long, brilliant, and contentious dialogue with fans, critics, fellow artists, and assorted habitués of the demimonde. We witness Reed’s complex partnerships with David Bowie, Andy Warhol, John Cale, and Laurie Anderson; track the deadpan wit, street-smart edge, and poetic flights that defined his craft as a singer and songwriter with the Velvet Underground and beyond; and explore the artistic ambition and gift for self-sabotage he took from his mentor Delmore Schwartz. As Hermes follows Reed from Lower East Side cold-water flats to the landmark status he later achieved, he also tells the story of New York City as a cultural capital. The first biographer to draw on the New York Public Library’s much-publicized Reed archive, Hermes employs the library collections, the release of previously unheard recordings, and a wealth of recent interviews to give us a new Lou Reed—a pioneer in living and writing about nonbinary sexuality and gender identity, a committed artist who pursued beauty and noise with equal fervor, and a turbulent and sometimes truculent man whose emotional imprint endures.

Download or read book About 2 Lose It written by Lashawn Myers and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT 2 LOSE IT This is not a memoir. This is merely a recap of me being called out by the Father. At one time in my life, I wanted to know my purpose, who I am, and what could be so darn important that God himself would not leave me alone. The moment I asked for revelation of self, he began to share with me who I was in the past as well as the present so I can move ahead into my future. I am riding on the back of the wings of destiny witnessing the full manifestation of GODs promises for my very soul. What is my life? See, you have to understand; I didnt come up with a lot of money and a peachy-keen life. I was raised in several domestic violent home settings as a child and I was definitely a product of my environment. Not to mention the generational curses that would later surface such as manipulation, control issues, and the more obvious, marijuana, nicotine, alcoholism, and sexual addiction (just to name a few). I began to recognize my immaturity in Christ on a conference call that was on my 25th birthday. I never suspected I was blaming others for my unsuccessfulness until several people redirected my own mayhem at me. When you are used to being in control of your life and God shows up and tells you to come forth on the water and doubt creeps in while you are stepping forth, lack creeps in also. Thats what Im dealing with. It is lack of self-worth, self-esteem, and ultimately lack of love (not to mention lack of funds). Unless you were to be around me on a typical day and really truly observing me, you wouldnt be able to tell I was crying on the inside and hear the outcry from my very soul for help. When GOD requires more of you, what do you do? I mean how many of us come out of a spiritual womb and begin walking. Me? Shoot, I went straight from milk to meat without the farina. How many of us are really able to digest meat without having a proper digestive system? There comes a time when everything becomes balanced and the waves are quiet and still. I tend to tug-o-war with GOD. The Bible says that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. That would be me. A double minded individual in need of deliverance of selfmeaning the flesh.Who is really in control here? Its all or nothing with GOD and I do not want a Shepard to lead me to hell and I refuse to lead anyone until I am sure without a shadow of a doubt that my mind is stable and my thoughts are not topsy-turvy like a sea-saw. Every time the enemy throws a rock at me, Im ready to take cover. I had to go home and reclaim what was mine. In doing such I had no idea of what the bounty was that I would be collecting. GOD is sooooooo AWESOME!!!! Even though I have been such a wretched, disobedient, hard-headed child, he insists on keeping me covered even now in this period of grace that he so graciously has given. Being able to decipher the seasons is one thing, however to walk through the fire, fall down and Im talking about over and over again, bruised, broken, and battered, without a trace of sin after redemption is truly humbling. As I reveal my life story of refuge, my deliverance is truly imminent. Travel through the passages of my heart, mind, body, and soul and may GOD add a blessing to the reading of these words.
Book Synopsis Reinventing Gravity by : John W. Moffat
Download or read book Reinventing Gravity written by John W. Moffat and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einstein's gravity theory—his general theory of relativity—has served as the basis for a series of astonishing cosmological discoveries. But what if, nonetheless, Einstein got it wrong? Since the 1930s, physicists have noticed an alarming discrepancy between the universe as we see it and the universe that Einstein's theory of relativity predicts. There just doesn't seem to be enough stuff out there for everything to hang together. Galaxies spin so fast that, based on the amount of visible matter in them, they ought to be flung to pieces, the same way a spinning yo-yo can break its string. Cosmologists tried to solve the problem by positing dark matter—a mysterious, invisible substance that surrounds galaxies, holding the visible matter in place—and particle physicists, attempting to identify the nature of the stuff, have undertaken a slew of experiments to detect it. So far, none have. Now, John W. Moffat, a physicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, offers a different solution to the problem. The capstone to a storybook career—one that began with a correspondence with Einstein and a conversation with Niels Bohr—Moffat's modified gravity theory, or MOG, can model the movements of the universe without recourse to dark matter, and his work challenging the constancy of the speed of light raises a stark challenge to the usual models of the first half-million years of the universe's existence. This bold new work, presenting the entirety of Moffat's hypothesis to a general readership for the first time, promises to overturn everything we thought we knew about the origins and evolution of the universe.

The multilateral, regional and bilateral trade regime matured and new governance patterns in international trade emerged in the form of supply chain trade.
