New Releases by Keith Richards

Originally published in 1982, this book presents a detailed review of alluvial river form and process and integrates the distinct but related approaches of geomorphologists, geologists and engineers to the subject. It outlines the environmental catchment factors that control the development of channel equilibrium and provides a detailed account of the sediment transport processes that represent the physical mechanisms by which channel adjustment occurs. Where possible it evaluates theoretical analyses in the context of the empirical evidence. Rivers should prove a valuable textbook for geomorphology students on advanced undergraduate courses on river behaviour and will also be of interest to students of hydraulics and sedimentology and to those concerned with civil and environmental engineering, river management and channel design, maintenance and management in the water industry

Italian immigration patterns to Louisiana and Tampa, FL have received a good deal of scholarly attention as two separate phenomena, but they are better understood as informing one another in the evolution of southern thought in regard to Italian immigrants. Italians were the second largest non-black minority group behind Mexicans to be lynched, and in understanding the circumstances surrounding those acts of extrajudicial violence, a pattern is apparent. Lynchings of Italians in Louisiana emerged out of fear of the Black Hand (La Mano Nera), and the Mafia, whereas the sole incident of an Italian being lynched in Tampa occurred as a result of a strike, and the larger specter of labor militancy. Lynchings and local newspapers are analyzed to see how perception of Italians changed over the decades and especially how discourse from one state could translate to the other. Furthermore, Italian interaction with black laborers in Louisiana and with Spanish and Cuban immigrants in Tampa become important in understanding how an organized labor movement--or the lack thereof--emerged.

Hölgyeim és uraim, íme: Keith Richards. Keith Richards, a Rolling Stones szíve-lelke, mindenki „Keef”-je, akinek dalain egész nemzedékek nőttek fel, s akiről tényszerűen tudjuk, hogy kimaxolta a rock and roll életérzést. És még mindig életben van! A szakma nagy öregje, az elpusztíthatatlan legenda, a rocknagyapa. Tanúja a régi időknek, egy letűnt kornak, melyben a rock még messze több volt egyszerű kikapcsolódásnál, a szórakozás háttérhangjánál - együtt lüktetett a fiatalok szívével, fellázadt és fellázított, őserővel robbant be a kispolgári mindennapokba. Keith Richards mégsem valami megfoghatatlan mitikus hős - lefegyverzően és kéretlenül őszinte fickó, aki belemondja egyenest a szemünk közé. Hiteles, olykor megejtően egyszerű és esendő: ember. Aki csak mesél és mesél. Arról, hogyan hatott rá Chuck Berry, Elvis és Muddy Waters. Arról, hogyan ismerkedett meg Mick Jaggerrel és Brian Jonesszal. Mesél a Rolling Stones születéséről, felemelkedéséről és szárnyalásáról. Nőkről, szerelmekről, drogokról, a lebukásokról és a letartóztatásokról, a függőségről és leszokásról. Máig öntörvényű zsivány - vagy még inkább: kalóz - hírében áll, igazi népmesei hős. Mesél Brian Jones haláláról, Altamontról. Franciaországi száműzetéséről, a hírhedt amerikai turnékról, Jaggertől való elhidegüléséről és tettlegességig fajuló vitáikról, s végül a kibékülésükről. S mind közül a legégetőbb kérdésről: tényleg minden évben lecserélteti a vérét azon a bizonyos svájci magánklinikán? Ez a könyv vallomás egy kivételesen gazdag és sokszínű pálya állomásairól. És legfőképpen az ÉLETRŐL.

The first publication to showcase the visual art of the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood Ronnie Wood is one of the foremost rock guitarists in the world, but his artistic talents extend beyond music. Published together for the first time and in Wood’s seventieth year, here is the first comprehensive collection of paintings and other works that exudes the same irrepressible energy as the Rolling Stones themselves. Organized thematically, Ronnie Wood: Artist focuses on rock ’n’ roll performances and depictions of stage performances as only the band could witness. Additional chapters show both the breadth of his instincts and style in works on figures, landscapes, animal paintings, and sculptures. The artist himself provides the captions and insight into the thought and motivation behind each piece. An introduction is provided by Damien Hirst, one of the most successful contemporary artists of the modern era and a rabid fan and collector of Wood’s art. An afterword by guitar legend and Wood’s bandmate Keith Richards brings the book to its conclusion.

La familia de Keith Richards vivía en Dartford, Inglaterra, y era muy musical. Su madre siempre tenía la radio puesta; su abuela tocaba el piano; su tía y él cantaban a dúo canciones de los Everly Brothers; su abuelo, Theodore Augustus Dupree (Gus), tocaba el violín, el saxo y la guitarra. Keith se crió durante los últimos años de la guerra mundial y la posguerra, cuando no era fácil hallar el lado alegre de Londres. Pero aquel niño y su abuelo pasearon por todos los rincones de la ciudad. Durante esas caminatas visitaban talleres donde se reparaban instrumentos rotos. Un día, Gus le mostró a Keith varios acordes de guitarra y le enseñó a tocar Malagueña. Ésa fue la introducción de Keith a la música y el origen de este conmovedor relato ilustrado por Theodora Richards, hija del autor.

Keith Richards, a member of the Rolling Stones and widely considered to be one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, has made a point of living life on his own terms—even when those terms have far exceeded standards of convention and propriety. Now, in his long-awaited autobiography, he opens up about his earliest years in postwar Kent; learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones; the rise to prominence of the Stones and the famous shows, tours, and records; his occasionally fraught relationship with Jagger and his romances with Anita Pallenberg and Patti Hansen; his struggles with drug addiction and his run-ins with the law in various countries—nothing is off limits. Richards’s story is, in many ways, the history of rock music itself and a cultural snapshot of the last four decades. Keith Richards, miembro de los Rolling Stones y generalmente considerado uno de los mejores guitarristas del rock de todos los tiempos, se ha dedicado a vivir una vida bajo sus propios términos—aun cuando esos términos han excedido por mucho las convenciones. Ahora, en su autobiografía muy esperada, se sincera sobre su niñez en Kent de la posguerra; aprender a tocar la guitarra y formar una banda con Mick Jagger y Brian Jones; el ascenso de los Rolling Stones y los famosos conciertos, las giras y los discos; su tensa relación con Jagger y sus romances con Anita Pallenberg y Patti Hansen; su lucha contra la adicción a las drogas y sus encuentros con la ley en varios países—todo se pone sobre la mesa. La historia de Richards es, en muchos sentidos, la historia del rock mismo y un vistazo cultural de las últimas cuatro décadas.
