Robert Greenfield

The creator of the dancing bear logo and designer of the Wall of Sound for the Grateful Dead, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, better known by his nickname, Bear, was one of the most iconic figures in the cultural revolution that changed both America and the world during the 1960s.Owsley's high octane rocket fuel enabled Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters to put on the Acid Tests. It also powered much of what happened on stage at Monterey Pop. Owsley turned on Pete Townshend of The Who and Jimi Hendrix. The shipment of LSD that Owsley sent John Lennon resulted in The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album and film.Convinced that the Grateful Dead were destined to become the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, Owsley provided the money that kept them going during their early days.

Pablo Picasso Masterworks -...

Victoria Charles, Anatoli Podoksik

For many people, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was undoubtedly the most important artist of the 20th century. Born in Málaga, Spain, Picasso revealed his genius at a very early age and was quick to make contact with the most advanced art circles of his time, first in Barcelona and later in Paris. In the modernist quest for novelty, Picasso turned to pre-modern history and ÂprimitiveÊ art for inspiration. We owe him and his colleague Georges Braque the invention of Cubism, not just one of many avant-garde movements but the aesthetic that would change the art of painting forever. Once free from traditional values, Picasso produced an outstanding oeuvre, both in terms of variety and quality.

Strange and Ancient Places in...

Martin K. Ettington

As I write this in May of 2020 the annual travel season is upon us. There are travel guides on lots of subjects and locations. 
This book is kind of an unusual travel guide to ancient and (mostly) unusual sites in the USA. Most persons think that the United States doesn’t have much in the way of Ancient ruins and they would be wrong. 
There are amazing ruins all over the country, and some are not even accepted by conventional archeology or anthropology as being real. These sites are fascinating and some are mysterious in terms of who built them and when? 
This book is divided into five sections: 
·        Ancient Archeological Sites 
·        Prehistoric Sites of Ancient Man 
·        Strange Modern Places 
·        More Indian Archeological Sites 
·        Captivating Natural Sites
