DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a reissue of the novel inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream: We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold... And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWHO HAS TIME TO GAMBLE? Over 35 million people visit Las Vegas each year, but only 9% of them list gambling as the primary reason for their trip. Las Vegas is a lot more than just casinos, and this is the book that tells you about that "other stuff." 101 Things to do in Las Vegas without Gambling is your guide to the coolest city in the world. Look inside to find: Outstanding Restaurants - Treat yourself to a gourmet meal in the restaurant of a celebrity chef, or sample some of the local favorites. World Class Entertainment - Enjoy some of the biggest names in music and comedy, or marvel at the most elaborate production shows in the world. Spectacular Shopping - Experience hundreds of stores from the legendary names in fashion, or grab a souvenir from the world's largest gift shop. Endless Activities - Live without limits in the city that has it all, with enough golf courses, museums, sightseeing, thrill rides, luxurious pools, decadent spas, and sizzling night life to fill a dozen vacations. We chose the 101 Things in this book based upon the unscientific standard of "coolness." We're not saying that The Fonz would have enjoyed everything in the book, but if a guy can jump his motorcycle over a shark, he can probably appreciate a volcano that explodes every hour on the hour.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first study of "hard" country music as well as the first comprehensive application of contemporary cultural theory to country music. Barbara Ching begins by defining the features that make certain country songs and artists "hard." She compares hard country music to "high" American culture, arguing that hard country deliberately focuses on its low position in the American cultural hierarchy, comically singing of failures to live up to American standards of affluence, while mainstream country music focuses on nostalgia, romance, and patriotism of regular folk. With chapters on Hank Williams Sr. and Jr., Merle Haggard, George Jones, David Allan Coe, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, and the Outlaw Movement, this book is written in a jargon-free, engaging style that will interest both academic as well as general readers.
