Versione esclusiva in lingua italiana.\r\n\r\nSono stati scritti numerosi libri sui QUEEN, ma questa è una novità assoluta: una visione intima, dall’interno, di un membro fondatore della band, la prima storia di un qualsiasi gruppo rock mai realizzata in 3-D. Non solo Brian May ha scritto personalmente il libro (non c’è un “ghost writer”), ma le illustrazioni sono state tutte scattate con fotocamere stereoscopiche, per lo più da Brian stesso. Fin dagli esordi, infatti, May era solito portare con sé una stereocamera (3-D); così durante i tour dei Queen o durante le registrazioni poteva catturare dei rari momenti dietro le quinte di una delle più grandi rock band di tutti i tempi. Ora, a distanza di decenni, queste immagini vengono condivise per la prima volta! Pensato inizialmente come un lavoro veloce, questo progetto si è poi trasformato per May ed il suo team in una vera e propria passione che li ha travolti per più di tre anni. Ogni volta che il libro sembrava prossimo alla conclusione, ecco sbucare delle nuove foto in 3-D, dimenticate chissà dove, che suscitavano una nuova ondata di ricordi arricchendone la narrativa. L’opera alla fine è diventata una vera e propria storia dei Queen dalla nascita fino al presente. Il libro comprende circa 360 illustrazioni fotografiche, la maggior parte delle quali visibili nel loro splendore stereoscopico e si presenta con copertina rigida identica alla versione inglese - in un cofanetto con foto lenticolare 3-D in copertina e con un esclusivo stereoscopio OWL 3-D incluso brevettato da Brian May stesso.

Described as the most widely read and influential serious writer of the twentieth century, George Orwell remains relevant in our own era of contested media. He continues to attract a large readership.\n\n\n\nThis book is about Orwell’s post-war cultural moment c. 1948. Taking his Diaries of the time as inspiration, together with his famous final novel, 1984 (published 1949), and treating them as contiguous texts, Brian May considers the gaps, equivocations, and contradictions in Orwell's message and asks what Orwell would have written next.\n\n\n\nBut 1948 is more than a work of literary criticism: rather, it balances critical discussion with creative intervention, being one-half literary-critical commentary, and one-half fictional departure – a novella titled “From the Archives of Oceania,” which quotes, parodies and pastiches Orwell's Diaries, offering a possible prequel. Together these elements offer a resource for the reader to interrogate anew such difficult issues as Orwell's sexism and anti-Semitism; to explore the tensions between various intertwining strands of thought that cast Orwell as both realist and idealist, Puritan and individualist; and to better understand Orwell's curious affection for the natural world.\n\n\n\n1948 will appeal to all readers and critics of Orwell, but also to students of dystopian fiction, \"revisionary\" fiction and  \"reception study,\" which highlights the audience’s contribution to an artwork's meaning.

Per la prima volta, la storia di una delle rock band più famose di tutti i tempi viene raccontata con testi e centinaia di immagini inedite da uno dei suoi membri: il co-fondatore, compositore e chitarrista Brian May. Un lungo racconto che a partire dagli anni Settanta ripercorre la travolgente affermazione internazionale del gruppo e approda alle sue più recenti performance insieme al cantante Adam Lambert, spingendosi fino sul set di Bohemian Rhapsody, il celeberrimo biopic vincitore di quattro premi Oscar. Ricordi, aneddoti e dietro le quinte sono rievocati in prima persona da May («Non esiste un ghost writer per questo libro. Sono solo io») e accompagnati da un ricchissimo e quanto mai originale corredo fotografico. Da sempre, infatti, May è un appassionato di fotografia stereoscopica, speciale tecnica di realizzazione e visione delle immagini capace di trasmettere un'illusione di tridimensionalità. Ebbene, Queen in 3D raccoglie oltre 300 foto stereoscopiche dei Queen scattate dallo stesso autore durante i momenti più vari della loro cinquantennale carriera, e in più, regala ai lettori uno speciale visore stereoscopico progettato appositamente da May. Inquadrando secondo le istruzioni ogni stereocoppia fotografica del volume, i lettori la vedranno animarsi in un emozionante effetto 3D e avranno l'impressione di stare proprio lì, insieme a Freddie Mercury e al resto del gruppo: sotto i riflettori dei loro grandiosi concerti e nei backstage, insieme ai fan, nelle camere d'albergo durante i tour in giro per il mondo, in sala di registrazione, persino in vacanza. Queen in 3D racconta come nessun altro aveva mai fatto prima l'avventura di una delle band più influenti e amate nella storia della musica: per milioni di appassionati ai quattro angoli del globo, l'unica vera \"regina\" che il rock abbia mai avuto.

\"Brian May. Just one life\" è il racconto entusiasmante della vita di una delle più grandi leggende della musica popolare (...). Oltre ad aver scritto quasi la metà dei brani dei Queen, molti dei quali diventati hit senza tempo, Brian May è stato uno degli ultimi veri innovatori della chitarra, preso a modello da generazioni di musicisti. La narrazione parte da un evento divenuto in qualche modo lo spartiacque della sua carriera: il concerto di tributo a Freddie Mercury, avvenuto nell'aprile del 1992. Il libro continua trattando prima l'infanzia di May, passando successivamente per le sue prime esperienze musicali, fino alla formazione e al successo mondiale con i Queen, con lo scopo dichiarato di raccontarlo dal punto di vista interno e personale del loro chitarrista. Non manca un nutrito approfondimento della sua carriera successiva alla morte di Freddie Mercury, viene quindi trattata l'iniziale carriera solista, la passione per l'astrofisica e per la fotografia stereoscopica, nonché il ritorno sulle scene con il vecchio moniker, prima in compagnia dell'ex Free Paul Rodgers e, in seguito, con il giovane Adam Lambert.

On 4 May 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, political fires that had been burning across America during the 1960s exploded. Antiwar protestors wearing bell-bottom jeans and long hair hurled taunts and rocks at another group of young American-National Guardsman sporting gas masks and rifles. At half past noon, violence unfolded at chaotic speed, as guardsmen—many of whom had joined the Guard to escape the draft—opened fire on the students. Two reductive narratives ensued: one, that lethal state violence targeted Americans who spoke their minds; the other, that law enforcement gave troublemakers the comeuppance they deserved. For over fifty years, little middle ground has been found due to incomplete and sometimes contradictory evidence.\n\n Kent State meticulously re-creates the divided cultural landscape of America during the Vietnam War and heightened popular anxieties around the country. On college campuses, teach-ins, sit-down strikes and demonstrations exposed the growing rift between the left and the right. Many students opposed the war as unnecessary and unjust and were uneasy over poor and working-class kids drafted and sent to Vietnam in their place. Some developed a hatred for the military, the police and everything associated with authority, while others resolved to uphold law and order at any cost.\n\n Focusing on the thirteen victims of the Kent State shooting and a painstaking reconstruction on the days surrounding it, historian Brian VanDeMark draws on crucial new research and interviews—including, for the first time, the perspective of guardsmen who were there. The result is a complete reckoning with the tragedy that marked the end of the sixties.

To his horror, it appeared to be formed of human flesh and bones.\n\nThe next day, local resident Dennis Nilsen was arrested.\n\n'Are we talking about one body or two?' a detective asked. Nilsen replied 'Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978. I'll tell you everything.' \n\nWithin days he had confessed to fifteen gruesome murders over a period of four years.

This is a book about the insects and fungi that may appear in building timbers if unnoticed or unavoidable maintenance problems allow them to remain damp. There are two options if a problem is found. \n\n \n\nThe building owner or occupier may require the organism to be rapidly exterminated and a document issued which seems to reassure that it will not come back. In this case they must accept generally expensive and frequently destructive chemical treatments using more or less noxious pesticides. Unfortunately each decade’s panacea has usually become the next decade’s poison and a pesticide accepted as `safe’ has proved elusive. Pesticides may be used in a `safe manner’ and this is the province of the remedial company, but legislation is continuously evolving and pesticides are becoming increasingly unpopular.\n\n\n\nThe second option is to take a little time and to consider the problem. This may not always be possible, but in many situations a little background knowledge can make a considerable difference. Frequently an understanding of why the damage has occurred, together with an understanding of insect or fungi requirements and limitations, can reduce treatments or show that they are unnecessary.

‘One day you’ll write a book about this club. Or, more to the point, about me. So you may as well know what I’m thinking and save it up for later when it won’t do any harm to anyone.’\n\n\n Brian Clough’s twenty years as Nottingham Forest manager were an unpredictable mixture of success, failure, fall-outs and alcoholism. Duncan Hamilton, initiated as a young journalist into the Brian Clough empire, was there to see it all. In this strikingly intimate biography – William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2007 – Hamilton paints a vivid portrait of one of football’s greatest managers: from Nottingham Forest’s double European Cup triumph to the torturous breakdown of relations at the club and Clough’s descent into alcoholism.\n\n\n Sad, joyous and personal, Hamilton’s account of life with Brian Clough is a touching tribute to a brilliant man.

Globalization. Homelessness. Ecological and economic crisis. Conflicts over sexuality. Violence. These crisis-level issues may seem unique to our times, but Paul's Letter to the Romans has something to say to all of them. Following their successful Colossians Remixed, Sylvia Keesmaat and Brian Walsh unpack the meaning of Romans for its original context and for today. The authors demonstrate how Romans disarms the political, economic, and cultural power of the Roman Empire and how this ancient letter offers hope in today's crisis-laden world. \n\nRomans Disarmed helps readers enter the world of ancient Rome and see how Paul's most radical letter transforms the lives of the marginalized then and now. Intentionally avoiding abstract debates about Paul's theology, Keesmaat and Walsh move back and forth between the present and the past as they explore themes of home, economic justice, creation care, the violence of the state, sexuality, and Indigenous reconciliation. They show how Romans engages with the lived reality of those who suffer from injustice, both in the first century and in the midst of our own imperial realities.

The latest thrilling instalment in the legendary New York Times bestselling series from the world of Robert Ludlum.\n\nIt's been over a decade since Nash Rollins recruited a brilliant, talented, but disaffected young man named David Webb to join Treadstone.

So after the injury that erased Bourne’s whole life, Nash lied about the circumstances of David’s recruitment to Treadstone. He was afraid that learning the truth might drive Bourne out of the agency forever.\n\nBut now, when Bourne meets a woman who recognises him as David Webb, the secrets of those days begin to come out - and Bourne is forced to confront the dangerous ghosts of a past he doesn’t even remember.

Life ashore may once again be the undoing of Jack Aubrey in The Yellow Admiral, Patrick O'Brian's best-selling novel and eighteenth volume in the Aubrey/Maturin series. Aubrey, now a considerable though impoverished landowner, has dimmed his prospects at the Admiralty by his erratic voting as a Member of Parliament; he is feuding with his neighbor, a man with strong Navy connections who wants to enclose the common land between their estates; he is on even worse terms with his wife, Sophie, whose mother has ferreted out a most damaging trove of old personal letters. Even Jack's exploits at sea turn sour: in the storm waters off Brest he captures a French privateer laden with gold and ivory, but this at the expense of missing a signal and deserting his post. Worst of all, in the spring of 1814, peace breaks out, and this feeds into Jack's private fears for his career.\n \n Fortunately, Jack is not left to his own devices. Stephen Maturin returns from a mission in France with the news that the Chileans, to secure their independence, require a navy, and the service of English officers. Jack is savoring this apparent reprieve for his career, as well as Sophie's forgiveness, when he receives an urgent dispatch ordering him to Gibraltar: Napoleon has escaped from Elba.
