New Releases by Steve Turner

Have you ever wondered how a single idea could completely change the way we think about money, power, and trust? Imagine a future where banks aren't the gatekeepers, where financial systems are consistently fair and open to everyone, and where possibilities seem limitless. That future isn't some far- off fantasy-it's already here. At the center of this transformation are Bitcoin and blockchain, two revolutionary forces reshaping our world. This book, The Bitcoin Revelations: How Bitcoin and Blockchain Are Shaping the World, is your ultimate guide to understanding this digital revolution. I'm not here to throw a bunch of technical jargon at you. Instead, I break everything down in plain, everyday language. Whether you're brand-new to the subject or you've heard the buzz but haven't dug deeper, this book will help you connect the dots. You'll learn why Bitcoin was created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, when trust in big banks collapsed, and how it's become a symbol of a more equitable way forward. You'll finally understand blockchain-what it is, why it's important, and how it's already solving real-world problems, from improving transparency in global systems to safeguarding personal data. And this isn't just a story about technology. It's about people-real people whose lives are being transformed by Bitcoin and blockchain. It's about the small-scale farmer in a developing country who now has access to financial tools or the entrepreneur building a fairer supply chain. Of course, there are challenges too. The energy concerns around Bitcoin mining and fears about job displacement are real, but so are the innovative solutions emerging to tackle them. This revolution is about collaboration, innovation, and creating a future that works for everyone. This book is for anyone curious about what's happening and where we're headed. It's for students, entrepreneurs, dreamers, and skeptics alike. By the time you turn the last page, you'll not only understand the technology but also feel inspired to think about your own role in this global shift. So, are you ready to join the revolution? Get the book today! And start your journey into the future of money, technology, and a fairer world. The next step is yours...

Did you know? 36% of Bob Dylan's songs published between 1961 and 1968 had biblical references, including his 1964 hit "The Times They Are A-Changin.'" The book of Ecclesiastes has been a great inspiration on popular music including the song "Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Birds, the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon, and "Desperado," the 1973 hit by The Eagles, among others. Paul Simon once advised a young prospective lyricist to raid the Bible for memorable phrases. "Just steal them," he said, "That's what they're there for." There's no question that Scripture has influenced music since the first ever song was penned. In Turn! Turn! Turn! author and music connoisseur, Steve Turner, takes an in-depth look at the lyrics and cultural context of 100 of the greatest songs from the 1930s to today to reveal an often overlooked or ignored strand of influence in popular music -- the Bible. Indeed, some of the "greats" -- including Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bono, Johnny Cash, Sting, and others -- have repeatedly returned to the Bible for such sustenance, as well as musical inspiration and a framework with which they can better understand themselves. "I hope the book prompts, provokes, and intrigues as it reveals this often-hidden history," writes Steve Turner. You'll never listen to your favorite song or popular tune the same way again after discovering how the Bible has influenced music.

In The Complete Beatles Songs, Steve Turner shatters many well-worn myths and adds a new dimension to the Fab Four's rich legacy.

The book covers the Fab Four's entire output chapter by chapter and includes a complete set of printed lyrics to accompany each song, used with exclusive permission from the band's music publishers. Who was 'just seventeen' and made Paul's heart go 'boom'? Who was 'Lady Madonna'? Was there really an Eleanor Rigby? What inspired 'Happiness is a Warm Gun'? Why was Paul the 'walrus' and what inspired the lyrics to Ringo's 'Octopus's Garden'?

Se existe um divisor de águas na trajetória dos Beatles, este sem dúvida é o ano de 1966. Ele marcou momentos importantes na vida de John, Paul, George e Ringo, afastando-os cada vez mais da imagem de meros ídolos adolescentes e transformando-os em artistas respeitados. Foi nesse ano que eles gravaram o seminal álbum Revolver, deixaram de compor apenas canções sobre amor e garotas, se envolveram ainda mais com LSD, fizeram sua última turnê e desenvolveram projetos pessoais e tudo isso afetaria não apenas o futuro deles como grupo, mas também toda a cultura pop ocidental. Em Beatles 1966, o jornalista Steve Turner faz uma deliciosa investigação da trajetória do quarteto de Liverpool ao longo desses 12 meses e nos transporta de volta a uma intensa era, que até hoje influencia o mundo onde vivemos. ELOGIOS * Lendo Beatles 1966, me sinto lá mesmo e onde mais você gostaria de estar se ama música - Bono * 1966 foi o ano de meu casamento com George, nossa primeira visita à Índia e o último show dos Beatles. Foi realmente uma época empolgante de inovação e exploração [...]. Tudo é capturado neste livro de maneira vívida e com muitos detalhes. - Pattie Boyd John, Paul, George e Ringo começaram a carreira como pop stars de sucesso arrebatador, levando fãs adolescentes à histeria, e terminaram sendo considerados grandes e revolucionários músicos, responsáveis por dar início a uma nova era na música mundial. O ano que marcou o início dessa mudança na carreira dos Beatles foi 1966, ano de seu último show e também de Revolver, o primeiro álbum criado para ser ouvido em casa, e não executado ao vivo. Foi o ano em que os Beatles arriscaram sua popularidade ao deixar de fazer turnês, ao gravar canções que exploravam estados alternativos de consciência, ao se envolver com ideias de vanguarda e ao se expressar de maneira mais aberta a respeito de política, guerra e religião. Foi o ano em que seus discos foram queimados nos Estados Unidos (depois da polêmica afirmação de John de que o grupo era mais popular que Jesus), o ano em que foram hostilizados nas Filipinas por esnobar a primeira-dama do país, o ano em que John conheceu Yoko Ono e que Paul concebeu a ideia para um dos mais importantes discos da história da música, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Interessado em entender melhor por que 1966 foi tão transformador na vida dos rapazes de Liverpool, o jornalista e especialista em Beatles Steve Turner decidiu escrever uma obra que reconstituísse todos os passos do grupo nesse ano. O resultado é Beatles 1966, que lança um cuidadoso olhar sobre os eventos históricos que os impactaram, as canções que compuseram e gravaram, as influências musicais que sofreram e as ideias que permitiram que eles transformassem para sempre a cultura popular. Ao conversar com muitos que conviveram com o quarteto e recorrendo a entrevistas antigas com figuras-chave como George Martin, Timothy Leary, Ravi Shankar e os próprios Beatles, Turner narra momentos saborosos e pouco conhecidos, compondo uma irresistível obra para fãs de Beatles e de música.

A riveting look at the transformative year in the lives and careers of the legendary group whose groundbreaking legacy would forever change music and popular culture. They started off as hysteria-inducing pop stars playing to audiences of screaming teenage fans and ended up as musical sages considered responsible for ushering in a new era. The year that changed everything for the Beatles was 1966—the year of their last concert and their first album, Revolver, that was created to be listened to rather than performed. This was the year the Beatles risked their popularity by retiring from live performances, recording songs that explored alternative states of consciousness, experimenting with avant-garde ideas, and speaking their minds on issues of politics, war, and religion. It was the year their records were burned in America after John's explosive claim that the group was "more popular than Jesus," the year they were hounded out of the Philippines for "snubbing" its First Lady, the year John met Yoko Ono, and the year Paul conceived the idea for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. On the fiftieth anniversary of this seminal year, music journalist and Beatles expert Steve Turner slows down the action to investigate in detail the enormous changes that took place in the Beatles' lives and work during 1966. He looks at the historical events that had an impact on the group, the music they made that in turn profoundly affected the culture around them, and the vision that allowed four young men from Liverpool to transform popular music and serve as pioneers for artists from Coldplay to David Bowie, Jay-Z to U2. By talking to those close to the group and by drawing on his past interviews with key figures such as George Martin, Timothy Leary, and Ravi Shankar—and the Beatles themselves—Turner gives us the compelling, definitive account of the twelve months that contained everything the Beatles had been and anticipated everything they would still become.

Drawing on his storied career as a pop-culture wallflower, Steve Turner provides an all-access pass to the pervasive cultures of style, media and celebrity. Passing on his uniquely Christian way of viewing these cultures, Turner opens our eyes to a world of ideas lying just beneath the hype.

Adams County, Washington, is home to farmlands on the Columbia Plateau that produce more crops than might be expected of its semiarid soils. But while unique in its geography and history, it also faces many of the problems confronting farmers throughout rural America. Seasoned journalist Steve Turner, having spent time in Adams County as a young harvest hand, returned to the region to portray farm life and history in a land where change is a subtle but powerful constant. Amber Waves and Undertow interweaves family narratives, historical episodes, and Turner’s own experiences to illuminate the transformation of rural America from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. Whether distilling the lore of wheat and potato agriculture or describing action at a combine demolition derby, Turner celebrates both the usual and the unusual among the local residents. He blends stories of pioneer settlers with vignettes of present-day life, introducing readers to the characters—the hardworking and the eccentric, the old-timers and the Latino newcomers—who populate this corner of America. In the mode of John McPhee and Wendell Berry, Turner’s lyrical prose conveys his affection for both the land and its inhabitants. Amber Waves and Undertow is a thoughtful depiction of an exceptional place that puts the difficulties of individual farmers in national and global contexts, showing us that only by understanding the past of rural America can we confront its future challenges.

The movies, the documentaries, the museum exhibits. They often tell the same story about the "unsinkable" Titanic, her wealthy passengers, the families torn apart, and the unthinkable end. But never before has "that glorious band," the group of eight musicians who played on as the Titanic slipped deeper and deeper into the Atlantic Ocean, been explored in such depth--until now. Join renowned biographer Steve Turner as he shares an extraordinary portrait of eight men who were thrown together on a maiden voyage, never having played together as a band, and whose names will be forever linked because of an extraordinary act of courage in the face of death. In The Band that Played On, Turner asks and answers key questions, including: How did the faith of the band members allow them to react with grace under pressure? Why does the story of the Titanic continue to fascinate? How does the legacy of that glorious band live on today? Praise for The Band that Played On: " The Band that Played On is, surprisingly, the first book since the great ship went down to examine the lives of the eight musicians who were employed by the Titanic. What these men did--standing calmly on deck playing throughout the disaster--achieved global recognition. But their individual stories, until now, have been largely unknown. What Turner has uncovered is a narrow but unique slice of history--one more chapter of compelling Titanic lore." --Marjorie Kehe, Book Editor, Christian Science Monitor
