DOWNLOAD EBOOK1976 Punk, Cricket and London's Burning is the story of the rise of punk as both a genre of rock and a cultural movement. In divided 1970s Britain, resentment to the establishment and old order was growing with yearnings for a new beginning. Despair and anger for the working-class young was everywhere. They were being sold a version of no hope Britain that was grey, bleak, bankrupt and unemployed with no future. Britain seemed broken and at the same time, the music was remote, insipid and uninspiring. Added to this misery was the ugly and repulsive spectre of the far-right rising in influence, sowing racial tensions and clashes in opposition to rising immigration. Yet hope was brewing. Punk was becoming the voice of young people, disgruntled with how things were! At last, there was energy and excitement. Billy Idol, Siouxsie Sioux and the Bromley Contingent were creating a new scene. The Clash and Joe Strummer were going to save the young. But they needed help and the spirit of Gene Vincent was on hand. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the people still looked to the great game of cricket. The West Indies team were touring England. They had a rising star called Viv Richards who looked special, very special. The West Indians, living in Britain, needed a hero. Viv needed a mentor, and WG Grace was there for him. 1976 would be the summer of Viv Richards scoring boundaries endlessly and the searing pace of Michael Holding sending Tony Greig's stumps into orbit blowing in the winds of redemption. The fires of Babylon were burning bright. The summer of 1976 ends with the Notting Hill riots where cricket, punk and Don Letts come together to save the day. 1976 Punk, Cricket and London's Burning is a nuanced and original look at these hard times for Britain - the perspective of icons since passed, looking on at the brewing trouble, and hoping to share their wisdom to mend it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Fundamentally alters the received wisdom that tends to award Paris a far more central place in the making of Joyce the modernist."--John McCourt, author of The Years of Bloom: James Joyce in Trieste 1904-1920 "In readings equally attentive to text, avant-text, and context, this book shows us how many roads in Joyce's life and work led to London. Yet the first city of the British Empire is also decentered here, enmeshed by Joyce with Dublin through the place names, cartographies, and imperial history the two cities shared. Loukopoulou has written the atlas of their entanglement, a Londub A to Z."--Paul K. Saint-Amour, author of Tense Future: Modernism, Total War, Encyclopedic Form The effect of Dublin--and other cities such as Trieste, Zurich, and Paris--on James Joyce and his works has been studied extensively, but few Joyceans have explored the impact of London on the trajectory of his literary career. In Up to Maughty London, Eleni Loukopoulou offers the first sustained account of Joyce's engagement with the imperial metropolis. She considers both London's status as a matrix for political and cultural formations and how the city is reimagined in Joyce’s work. Loukopoulou examines newly discovered or largely neglected material, including newspaper and magazine articles, anthology contributions, radio broadcasts, sound recordings, and other writings published and unpublished. She also assesses the promotion of Joyce's work in London’s literary marketplace. London emerges not just as a setting for his writings but as a key cultural and publishing vector for the composition and dissemination of his work. Eleni Loukopoulou is an independent scholar living in London. A volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G. Knowles

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMusic In Minutes, is a method book, designed to both learn ukulele as well as teach music through song. It has been developed with even the most novice musician in mind and is suitable for ages 10-110. Our approach to achieving fantastic results is based on many years of experience in composition and performance, along with sound pedagogical and psychological principle. Fast-track your musical progress. You will be literally playing and singing (plinging) along in just minutes to the accompanying musical tracks as you work your way through the progressively ordered tunes. There are even heaps of songs that exclusively utilise chord shapes (finger positions on the fret board) requiring just one finger! To make things even easier, the first 30 songs are based on a simple repeated chord pattern. It's just so simple, but this by no means compromises any musicality. We believe that there is great sophistication in simplicity, and where confusion is eliminated, both understanding and joy are increased.
