Sinopsis

Illustrated with 167 full colour images, this landmark book charts Alexander Moffat's career from student days at Edinburgh College of Art in the 1960s to the recent Scotland's Voices. Iconic portraits of major figures in literature and the other arts are represented. The cultural significance of the visual chronicle Moffat has created lies in his approach to portraiture. He aims not only to capture a sitter's appearance but also to convey something of their inner character, reaching 'a balance between emotional expression and compositional order'.

    Human civilization is fundamentally a story of movement, migration, and collective settlement—with cities emerging as the most complex and dynamic manifestations of our collective human experience. From ancient settlements clustered around rivers and trade routes to today's sprawling global metropolises, urbanization represents a profound transformation of how humans organize, interact, and envision community. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate narrative of The History of Urbanization, the multifaceted Impacts of Urban Growth, and the emergence of Global Cities, tracing the remarkable journey of human settlement from isolated communities to interconnected, sophisticated urban ecosystems. 
    The evolution of cities is far more than a chronological progression of architectural and infrastructural development; it is a nuanced story of social adaptation, economic innovation, and human resilience. By examining the historical trajectories, contemporary challenges, and future potentials of urban growth, this book reveals the complex mechanisms that drive metropolitan transformation. Readers will journey through the social, economic, technological, and cultural forces that shape urban landscapes—uncovering how global cities emerge as crucibles of human potential, where demographic shifts, technological innovations, economic dynamics, and cultural exchanges converge to create living, breathing environments that continually redefine the boundaries of human collective experience.

    Steely Dan's songs are exercises in fictional world-building. No one else in the classic-rock canon has conjured a more vivid cast of rogues and heroes, creeps and schmucks, lovers and dreamers and cold-blooded operators—or imbued their characters with so much humanity. 
     
     
     
    Pulling from history, lived experience, pulp fiction, the lore of the counterculture, and their own darkly comic imaginations, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker summoned protagonists who seemed like fully formed people with complicated pasts, scars they don't talk about, delusions and desires and memories they can't shake. Every name is a locked-room mystery, beguiling listeners and earning the band an exceptionally passionate and growing cult fandom. 
     
     
     
    Quantum Criminals presents the world of Steely Dan as it has never been seen, much less heard. Artist Joan LeMay has crafted lively, color-saturated images of her favorite characters from the Daniverse to accompany writer Alex Pappademas's explorations of the famous and obscure songs that inspired each painting, in short essays full of cultural context, wild speculation, inspired dot-connecting, and the occasional conspiracy theory. All of it is refracted through the perspectives of the characters, making for a musical companion unlike any other. Quantum Criminals is a singular celebration of Steely Dan's musical cosmos.
