Las memorias de la leyenda del heavy metal, concluidas poco antes de su muerte. Últimos ritos narra las historias de los últimos y premonitorios encuentros de Ozzy con la muerte, con su voz impávida y humor negro que tanto le caracterizaba.La gente me dice: Si pudieras volver a empezar, sabiendo lo que sabes ahora, ¿cambiarias algo? Y yo les digo: Ni hablar. Si hubiera estado sobrio y limpio, no seria Ozzy. Si hubiera hecho cosas normales y sensatas, no seria Ozzy. Mira, si se acaba mañana, no me puedo quejar. He viajado por todo el mundo. He visto un monton de cosas. He conocido a gente fenomenal. Me ha ido bien. Me ha ido mal. Pero ahora mismo, no estoy listo para ir a ningun lado. He perdido muchas cosas, pero aun conservo la cordura... o la que alguna vez tuve. Es bueno estar vivo. Me gusta. Quiero estar aqui con mi familia. Y mas que nada en el mundo, estoy feliz de haber regresado a donde todo empezo: Aston, Birmingham. Pero nunca engañas a la muerte, no realmente. Siempre lleva la cuenta. Y tarde o temprano, cobrara su deuda final...A los sesenta y nueve años, Ozzy Osbourne estaba en una triunfal gira de despedida, tocando en estadios llenos y recibiendo excelentes criticas por todo el mundo. Y entonces, el desastre. En cuestion de pocas semanas, paso de estar hospitalizado por una infeccion en un dedo a tener que abandonar su gira y toda vida publica al enfrentarse a una paralisis casi total del cuello para abajo.Ultimos ritos supone la impactante, amargamente hilarante e inedita historia del descenso de Osbourne a los infiernos. A lo largo del camino, reflexiona sobre su extraordinaria vida y carrera, incluyendo su turbulento matrimonio con su esposa Sharon, sus arrepentimientos por la reunion de Black Sabbath, sus amistades con Slash y Zakk Wylde y los desgarradores momentos finales que paso con Lemmy Kilmister de Motorhead.Valiente. audaz, y sorprendentemente inspirador, Ultimos ritos demuestra una vez mas por que Ozzy ha trascendido su condicion de Padrino del Metal y Principe de las Tinieblas para convertirse en un heroe popular y un tesoro internacional para la eternidad.

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

Downtown NYC of the mid-1970s and early 80s was the perfect landscape for reinvention. If the Lost Generation writers telegraphed the death of the American dream, the No Wave era, led by artists including Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Nan Goldin, Sonic Youth and the Contortions, challenged that dream by howling "NO" while creating a counterculture that brought punk, rock, jazz, funk, the art world, hip hop, and outlaw literature together into an international explosion of creativity. Why was this scene so compelling, and remains so today? What set this confluence of time, place, and people apart from the rest? The answer, in a word: women. Women, resisting stereotypes. Reinventing themselves according to their individual artistic visions. Adele Bertei was a pivotal figure in the No Wave movement. She was an original member of the Contortions and Brian Enos fascination with the band resulted in the seminal No New York record, released in 1978. NO NEW YORK: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene will provide an uncompromising testimony to the first significant, international movement of women artists creating work on an equal footing with the men, the fruits of which were some of the most striking and unique of this era.
