Summary

The Early Years is the authentic and compelling story of Pink Floyd, the group that gave alternative London its first real soundtrack and launched on the rock world a radical combination of music, light shows and pyrotechnic stage effects. 
 
Author Barry Miles saw the band play when they were still called The Pink Floyd Sound and he wrote the first ever article about them for a New York underground newspaper in 1966. He knew band members socially, witnessed the rapid decline of Syd Barrett and became actively involved in setting up some of Floyd’s major gigs. 
 
Barry Miles is an acclaimed music writer and expert on 'Beat' poetry and poets. A founder of the Indica bookshop and gallery in the Sixties, he went on to launch International Times and write for NME. He ghost-wrote Many Years From Now, Paul McCartney's autobiography and has written books on The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Frank Zappa.
Available since: 12/12/2011.

    Picture Tintagel, Cornwall, England, on a windswept day. It's a breathtaking locale that transcends the ordinary, especially for those enchanted by the legend of King Arthur.

    This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial. Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's "Note-books."

    Explore the Blessed Virgin Mary in Scripture, tradition, and devotion with one of the world's leading experts as your personal guide and teacher. 
    In 14 illuminating lectures, Fr. Bert Buby, SM, will take you on a journey with Mary through the Gospels, St. Paul's letters, and the book of Revelation. Then, you’ll see Mary revealed through the liturgical use of Old Testament texts and 46 Masses honoring the mother of Jesus. 
    You will follow the development of Marian theology, seeing how the earliest Christians testify to her role and her gifts of grace: her virginity, sinlessness, role as God-bearer (Theotokos), and Assumption into heaven. Their sermons, essays, and defense of her person form the living tradition of the Church. 
    You will explore the four Marian dogmas in the light of the Incarnation and learn how the church makes Mary known through the Scriptures, the liturgy, and devotions. 
    Fr. Buby will guide you through Vatican II's document on Mary as well as the teachings by Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. You will also come to understand the power of the great Marian prayers and Mary’s relationship to the Trinity. 
    As you prayerfully reflect on the person of Mary, you will be called to grow in your understanding and love of the mother of Jesus. 
    This course is part of the Learn25 collection.
