  Legendary folk singer and activist, Woody Guthrie and his songs changed the world. Born in an Oklahoma oil-boom town, Guthrie traveled America by boxcar, thumb, and foot. Along the journey, he composed and sang songs that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. This remarkable autobiography brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die. Funny, cynical, and earthy, Bound for Glory is the stirring account of Guthrie's life and a superb portrait of America's Depression years. This Grammy-nominated recording is performed by his son, Arlo Guthrie, who—like his father—is known for engaging storytelling and performing songs of protest against social injustice.

  Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched. 
  This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage. 
  It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish. 
  Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label. 
  . He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.

  We Need To Talk - The truth...

  Emily Hunt

  'As inspiring as it is enraging, Emily Hunt turns trauma into action, exposing a criminal justice system that fails women, and a culture that enables violence against us. A rallying call for change, and a powerful lesson in perseverance from a woman who would not give up.' The Guardian 
  Emily was in a restaurant, having lunch with her father – the next thing she remembers is waking up, naked, in a strange hotel room, next to a man she did not know. She suspected she had been drugged and raped. She later found out she had been filmed without her consent. 
  What happened to her that night could have happened to anyone. What came next happens to far too many victims, as failures by the police, CPS and other parts of the system, led to Emily doubting she would ever find justice. 
  Six years after her attack, Emily is an adviser to the UK Government on sexual violence. Part memoir and part investigation, Emily shines a light on the fault lines of a system and a society that is failing rape victims. We Need To Talk looks at how rape is a mainstream, everyday problem deeply damaging victims, their families, their workplaces and the economy. 
  This is a conversation starter about why we don’t talk about rape; that the only cause of rape is rapists, not rape victims; who commits rape and why; the reasons why society defaults to blaming the victim; and ultimately how we need to change and humanise the way we talk about rape in order to truly hear and support victims and end the current epidemic of sexual violence.

  Journalist and Editor Michael Clayton worked his way up from local newspapers to BBC war correspondent, with radio and magazine experience inbetween.   
  From the sharp end of the action in Vietnam, to the violence of the Troubles in Belfast and the tragedy of the East Pakistan revolt, Clayton    is well placed to compare the varying challenges of journalism on different media platforms.   
  The rivalry between the BBC and ITV, the bravery of war cameramen, dealing on assignment with corrupt officials, the TV preference for close-to-the action film as opposed to insightful reports of the effects of conflict: Clayton has experienced it all over a 70-year career.
  His insights into the ethos of the BBC, the colourful characters he reported and filmed alongside, and his resulting views of humanity, war and crime – Clayton's autobiography in journalism is honest, wry and full of insight.
