The hugely accomplished textile artist Jean Draper gives an invaluable guide to designing and working with pattern in textile art. Jean goes back to basics with simple dots and lines, demonstrating how even basic squares, circles and triangles can have a stunning impact in stitch and textiles. She provides practical and simple instructions for developing and experimenting with pattern, using grids, symmetry, rotation and repeats. Jean draws inspiration from patterns around the world, from West African Kente Cloth to the Gees Bend quilts of Alabama. There are instructions on creating bands and borders, strip patchwork and strip piecing, plus an extended study of Banjara stitched textiles. Natural patterns from plants and flowers also offer exciting opportunities for stitch, and Jean explores important design emblems such a the Tree of Life alongside other stitched flower forms. Finally, the ornamentation of the body provides many unique and striking ways to interpret the human form in stitch. Pattern is everywhere and can be used to stunning effect, taking your textile art to the next level. This fascinating and exciting guide brings together inspiration, design methods and stitching techniques to help you develop truly great textile art.

Definitive and comprehensive, this is the actual story of Factory RecordsPeter SavilleIn 1978, a Factory for Sale sign gave Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson a name for their fledgling Manchester club night. Though they couldn t have known it at the time, this was the launch of one of the most significant musical and cultural legacies of the late twentieth century. The clubs electrifying live scene soon translated to vinyl, and Factory Records went on to become the most innovative and celebrated record label of the next thirty years.Always breaking new musical ground, Factory introduced the listening public to bands such as Joy Division, whose Unknown Pleasures was the labels first album release, New Order, Durutti Column and Happy Mondays. Propelled onwards by the inspirational cultural entrepreneur, Tony Wilson, Factory always sought new ways to energise the popular consciousness, such as the infamous Hacienda nightclub, which enjoyed a chequered 15-year history after opening in 1982.Now fully revised and expanded with a new chapter, Shadowplayers is the most complete, authoritative and thoroughly researched account of how a group of provincial anarchists and entrepreneurs saw off bankers, journalists and gun-toting gangsters to create the most influential record label of modern times. Based on both archive and contemporary sources, the book tells the full story of Factory s heroic struggles, its complex web of inventive, idiosyncratic and tragic personalities, and ultimately, the acclaimed and much-loved music it produced.

After Kurt Cobains passing in 1994, everyone expected Evan Dando to be next. The Lemonheads frontman, songwriter and actor started in the 80s hardcore scene and went on to become a 90s icon. Think of Evan Dando, and you think of heroin chic, grunge and celebrity burnout. Perhaps known as much for his partying and boyish good looks, after two gold records and the kind of fame that you just cant enjoy anymore, The Lemonheads cooled off and life went on.Dando grew up in Boston, the son of a lawyer and a model, and attended the prestigious Commonwealth School. Fame was never what motivated him but the lure of the wild life proved trickier to refuse. From sneaking into concerts as a child, to sleeping on floors in the punk rock days, to crashing at Johnny Depps place in Hollywood, he was right there in the thick of it. So much so that social media once reported his death.Now, very much alive, sober, and enjoying a life in South America when hes not on the road, Evan Dando is going to tell his own story. His memoir will remind readers what was so great about the pre-internet 90s: the innocence, the access, and the anonymity. Reclaiming the purity and exuberance of his early days and encapsulating the spirit of the era, this candid autobiography presents a portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that makes no apologies for doing so.

La historia completa de los hermanos Gallagher y una de las bandas internacionales más importantes del Britpop y una de las más populares de las últimas décadas; de cara la gira que en 2025 los reúne por primera vez en mas de una decada y media.El verano londinense de 1995 fue una locura. Con uñas, dientes, guitarras electricas y declaraciones arrogantes, se libraba la batalla del britpop; desde la de Beatles versus Rolling Stones que no se veia una competencia tan feroz como la que protagonizaron Oasis y Blur. Fue memorable: el Reino Unido habia recobrado su historica fortaleza rockera. A treinta años de aquel fenomeno, Sergio Marchi explora en detalle el antes, durante y despues de ese momento que hoy resulta fundamental para entender las ultimas decadas de la musica, poniendo el centro en Oasis, el grupo mas importante de los ultimos años, cuya carrera se extendio, turbulenta, hasta 2009, cuando el enfrentamiento fratricida de los Gallagher se convirtio en guerra a morir. Vivir para siempre desmenuza, con microscopio y bisturi, no solo la carrera y la musica de la banda, sino tambien la tensa relacion entre los dos hermanos. Ahora que se concreto la reconciliacion que todo el mundo queria ver -con una gira internacional que agoto las entradas en un suspiro y que los trae nuevamente a Buenos Aires-, uno de los mayores atractivos es el reanudado vinculo entre Noel (el compositor inteligente, rapido y cerebral) y Liam (la voz de oro, el frontman carismatico, el bravucon profesional) y la incertidumbre acerca de si podran mantener la paz entre ellos. Aunque las protagonistas del show siguen siendo las canciones: himnos como "Wonderwall", "Live Forever", "Dont Look Back in Anger" o "Stand by Me", que trascendieron fronteras, generaciones y lenguajes. En estas paginas se intenta dar respuesta a todas las preguntas que, tres decadas despues de aquellos veranos magicos, rodean a una banda creada lejos de los laboratorios de marketing, forjada en plena calle. Explicar su exito enloquecedor y su enorme influencia, aun palpable, examinando de cerca su compleja configuracion familiar; su inglesitud a cara descubierta y su pertenencia a Manchester. Vivir para siempre es la historia de Oasis, del britpop y de una tradicion, la del rock britanico, que se mantiene

CHOCANTE, HILÁRIO E BRUTALMENTE HONESTO. O ÚLTIMO LIVRO DE MEMÓRIAS DO ENCRENQUEIRO OZZY OSBOURNE"As pessoas me perguntam: se eu pudesse fazer tudo de novo, sabendo o que sabe agora, mudaria alguma coisa? Eu respondo: "No, porra". Se eu estivesse limpo e sobrio, no seria o Ozzy. Se eu tivesse feito coisas normais e sensatas, no seria o Ozzy. Olha, se acabar amanh, no posso reclamar. "Aos 69 anos, Ozzy Osbourne estava em uma turne de despedida triunfal, tocando em arenas lotadas e recebendo criticas entusiasmadas no mundo todo.Ai veio o desastre.Em poucas semanas, ele passou de um internamento hospitalar com uma infecço no dedo a ter que abandonar sua turne e toda a vida publica enfrentando uma paralisia quase total do pescoço para baixo.Pela primeira vez, Ozzy revela essa historia chocante, hilaria e surpreendentemente inspiradora. Ao longo do caminho, ele reflete sobre sua vida e carreira extraordinarias incluindo seu casamento turbulento com Sharon, seus arrependimentos pela reunio do Black Sabbath, suas amizades com Slash e Zakk Wylde e os momentos finais angustiantes que passou com Lemmy Kilmister, do Motorhead.Estas memorias - provavelmente as ultimas publicadas pelo artista - demonstram mais uma vez por que Ozzy transcendeu seu status de "O Poderoso Chefo do Metal" e "O Principe das Trevas" para se tornar um heroi folk moderno e um tesouro nacional. Ela une o tradicional humor negro de Ozzy com uma emoço comovente nunca vista antes. Ozzy no e o cara com nove vidas; ele claramente tem 27! "

Montse Villar, astrofísica del CSIC y una de las divulgadoras más reconocidas en la intersección entre ciencia y humanidades, nos invita a un viaje único por la historia del cosmos a través del arte. Un libro que une ciencia, arte e historia para ofrecer una nueva manera de mirar el universo.Una nueva manera de mirar el universo a traves de la ciencia, el arte y la historiaLa humanidad ha mirado al cielo desde tiempos inmemoriales para intentar descifrarlo y, a la vez, intentar descifrarnos. Pero la ciencia no ha sido nuestra unica herramienta: artistas de todas las epocas y de todas las disciplinas han tratado de capturar la inmensidad del cosmos en sus obras, reflejando tanto nuestra comprension e interpretacion como las emociones que nos provoca. De la mano de la astrofisica y divulgadora Montserrat Villar Martin recorreremos siglos de historia a traves de pinturas, grabados y esculturas, entre otras manifestaciones artisticas, que han dado forma a nuestra percepcion del cosmos. Y, explorando temas como las constelaciones y los mitos que poblaron la boveda celeste, el temor a los cometas como mensajeros de la muerte, la astrologia como deseo de leer nuestro destino en las estrellas y la eterna pregunta sobre la existencia de vida en otros mundos, asi como su representacion en las obras de Vermeer, Dante y Voltaire entre muchos otros artistas y pensadores, la autora nos descubre como la astronomia ha influido en nuestra cultura y nuestro pensamiento.Con una narrativa envolvente y un enfoque innovador, Mirar los cielos nos revela como el arte y la ciencia han estado conectados desde el principio de los tiempos para invitarnos a seguir mirando el universo como fuente de inspiracion y conocimientos.

Una lectura absorbente que arroja luz sobre uno de los delitos más lucrativos y desconocidos del mundo: el robo de arte.Casi tan antiguos como la propia humanidad, los robos de arte se remontan hasta los origenes de los primeros grandes imperios. Desde entonces, nos fascinan y repelen por igual, pero, ¿que se esconde tras ellos? ¿Por que se roba el arte? ¿Que ocurre con las piezas robadas? ¿Existen realmente los robos por encargo? ¿Como funciona el mercado negro del arte? Encontraremos respuesta en este apasionante recorrido a traves de cincuenta robos y saqueos que han determinado el rumbo de la historia. Pero, sobre todo, intentaremos dar respuesta al mayor enigma de todos, ¿por que, a pesar de que la mayoria de nosotros nos encontramos del lado bueno de la historia, nos resultan tan fascinantes?
