Synopsis

The Black Pyramid explores the history, architecture, and mysteries surrounding the unique pyramid of Amenemhat III at Dahshur. This book investigates the innovative architectural techniques employed and the symbolic purposes it served, positioning the Black Pyramid as a pivotal moment in ancient Egyptian pyramid development and royal funerary practices. Readers will discover how the pyramid represents a shift in design and construction methods compared to earlier pyramids, reflecting both ingenuity and significant engineering challenges.

 
The book uniquely highlights the trials and errors that shaped pyramid construction in ancient Egypt, using the Black Pyramid as a case study in architectural experimentation.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the evolution of Egyptian pyramids, highlighting the distinct features of the Black Pyramid. It then examines the construction techniques, materials used, labor force, and architectural innovations implemented, comparing these to earlier and later pyramids, with a focus on the structural issues that led to its eventual abandonment. Finally, it analyzes the pyramid complex to identify the intended function and symbolism of the site, ultimately discussing the legacy of the Black Pyramid and its role in understanding pyramid development in Egypt.

    What does it actually take to become a great drummer? 
    Not just faster hands. Not better coordination. Not another technical breakthrough. 
    But a stronger mind behind the kit. 
    Locked In: The Drummer’s Mental Game is a deep, honest exploration of what really shapes great drumming when no one is talking about technique. Written and read by Dave Golder, this audiobook takes you inside the quieter side of musicianship—the part that happens in your attention, your decision-making, and your relationship with time itself. 
    Across twenty immersive chapters, you’ll discover why drummers rush under pressure, how ego creeps into fills you didn’t mean to play, why “doing less” can make you sound better, and how true groove is built far more in the mind than in the hands. From locking in with a bass player to understanding space, flow state, repetition, and performance mindset, this is a guide to the internal game that every drummer plays—whether they realise it or not. 
    This is not a book about showing off behind the kit. 
    It’s about what happens when you stop trying to prove anything… and start actually listening. 
    Calm, practical, and deeply reflective, Locked In will change the way you think about time, feel, and control—one beat at a time.

    In this richly illustrated landmark book, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones documents the sold, stolen and destroyed works of Banksy, one of the most renowned and controversial artists of our time. 
    This is a book about what you can't see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether destroyed by authorities or whisked into people's private art collections to languish on walls or in collector's vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator, but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment.
    A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalised and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. His artworks can now be found on streets across the globe, adorning the walls of some of the world's most distinguished galleries and even being sold for millions at private auctions. 
    
    Works unveiled in Banksy's Lost Works include:
    • The pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals. 
    • Valentine's Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council.
    • Banksy's disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with 'vandal' than 'artist'.
    This book, showcasing the often mysterious and occasionally mundane disappearances of works by one of the art world's more elusive figures, is a truly indispensable addition to the library of any Banksy fan. Sold, stolen or destroyed, discover Banksy's works that have disappeared from the wall.

    A sharp, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful look at the past, present and future of the music industry from one of the people who helped shape it. 
    Kev Nixon, musician, songwriter, producer, artist manager, music educator and writer charts the unprecedented fall of British music’s global dominance with unflinching honesty, deep affection and biting wit.  Drawing on five decades in the business, Nixon reveals how the UK’s once world-leading musical culture has suffered from an obsession with technology, addiction to nostalgia and has become increasingly disconnected from artistic substance. 
    What began as a phrase coined while observing music students making overly-polished recordings using GarageBand, Nixon evolved “brilliant sounding rubbish” into a damning metaphor for an entire industry. Part memoir, part manifesto, and part behind-the-scenes exposé, the book journeys from Nixon’s childhood musical awakenings in 1960s Yorkshire to the chaos of modern streaming culture, tracing the roots of the crisis in everything from the collapse of artist development, to the rise of corporate ownership, and the devaluation of true music education. 
    Nixon details class prejudice in genre and music industry hierarchies, the myth of the self-made artist and the digital structures that control what the world hears and what it doesn’t.  Through personal stories, case studies and bold provocations, Brilliant Sounding Rubbish offers a clear-eyed vision for rebuilding an industry with heart, integrity and risk at its core while returning to the musical standards that put British music into world domination.  Nixon believes there’s still time to turn things around. If we bring back risk, nurture real talent and cease allowing technology to dominate creativity, the music business might just get its soul back. The future, he says, could have brilliant sounding substance – this time for all the right reasons.
