Sinopse

A symbol of freedom, of the human strength of will and a relic of the Cold War. Countless pieces of the Berlin Wall were scattered around the globe after the Wall fell in 1989. These pieces of Wall embody the Berliners fight for freedom. More than 240 of these sections - each weighing tonnes - can be found in over 140 countries and on every continent. They have been located for this book. Amongst those who now own sections of the Wall are Japanese businessmen, famous art collectors and all US Presidents from the last century. There are some exciting and strange, but also tragic stories behind the pieces of the Wall. The stories in this book highlight the many ways in which the Wall has been used to commemorate the Berlin Wall and the Cold War.

    Phil Cousineau has found that as early as 1400 B.C. - and probably much earlier - competitive games anchored communities, created a diversion from violence, and even contributed to the evolution of the human body, mind, and soul. "This desire to shine brightly," says Cousineau, "at least in one moment in your life, either on the battlefield or on the Olympic grounds, is a deep, deep urge in us."

    The now 65-year-old Geoffrey Giuliano has been a devout student of devotional yoga since the age of 15. He has written extensively on the subject and resided as a Vaishnava monk in India for five long years in the ancient, holy pilgrimage places of Vrndavana and Rishikesh. Here, along with master musician and composer Kurt Max, he presents what might well be considered the cream of his own unique spiritual journey and the timeless knowledge gathered along the way. Max’s incredible, powerful, eclectic soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment to the winsome wisdom echoed by Bhakti student Giuliano. A unique incantation of words and music to the greater truth within us all. Hare Om Tat Sat. Perfect for all university, school, and library collections.

    Famous for 15 Minutes - My Years...

    One of Andy Warhol’s superstars recalls the birth of an art movement—and the death of an icon In this audacious tell-all memoir, Ultra Violet, born Isabelle Collin Dufresne, relives her years with Andy Warhol at the Factory and all of the madness that accompanied the sometimes-violent delivery of pop art. Starting with her botched seduction of the “shy, near-blind, bald, gay albino” from Pittsburgh, Ultra Violet installs herself in Warhol’s world, becoming his muse for years to come. But she does more than just inspire; she also watches, listens, and remembers, revealing herself to be an ideal tour guide to the “assembly line for art, sex, drugs, and film” that is the Factory. Famous for 15 Minutes drips with juicy details about celebrities and cultural figures in vignettes filled with surreptitious cocaine spoons, shameless sex, and insights into perhaps the most recognizable but least intimately known artist in the world. Beyond the legendary artist himself are the throngs of Factory “regulars”—Billy Name, Baby Jane Holzer, Brigid Polk—and the more transient celebrities who make appearances—Bob Dylan, Jane Fonda, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon. Delightfully bizarre and always entertaining, filled with colorful scenes and larger-than-life personalities, this dishy page-turner is shot through with the author’s vivid imagery and piercing observations of a cultural idol and his eclectic, voyeuristic, altogether riveting world.
