Beschreibung

Musicians Who Disappeared explores the intriguing phenomenon of musical artists who vanished from public life, sometimes at the peak of their careers. The book delves into the stories of these forgotten figures, examining their artistic contributions alongside the circumstances surrounding their disappearances. 

 
Did pressure from the music industry, personal crises, or something else entirely lead to their withdrawal? The book suggests these disappearances serve as cautionary tales about the darker side of the music industry and the human cost of fame, exploring the psychology of fame and mental health challenges faced by performers.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of musical disappearance, categorizing the types of vanishing acts. It then presents in-depth case studies of musicians who disappeared under mysterious or noteworthy circumstances, looking at their backgrounds, careers, and prevailing theories surrounding their absence. Finally, the book analyzes common threads and patterns, offering a broader commentary on the music business and celebrity culture.

 
Through biographical analysis and media studies, Musicians Who Disappeared connects to fields like psychology and sociology, providing a holistic understanding of the factors that contribute to these vanishing acts.

Walking with Spring

Earl V. Shaffer

In 1948, the Appalachian Trail had been a continuous, 2,000-mile footpath for eleven years, but no one had walked its length alone in a continuous journey—until Earl Shaffer, a quiet Pennsylvanian, became a hiking legend and the first of what is now more than 5,500 A.T. "thru-hikers," walking from Georgia to Maine as spring arrived to each area. In 1998, he hiked again as a 50th-anniversary celebration, to far greater publicity. This is the lyrical account of his fabled 1948 walk. 
 
 
 
Written soon after the first of his three thru-hikes, Walking with Spring chronicles Shaffer's adventures along a path that at the time was showing neglect of the war years and has since been rerouted significantly to its permanent location. His simply stated story has served as an inspiration for more than 9,000 men and women who have since followed in his footsteps . . . and many more who have tried.

A Woman's Crusade - Alice Paul...

Mary Walton

“A reminder of the perseverance, the gall, the intelligence it took to obtain what now seems an inalienable right, an obvious pillar of any democracy.” —Los Angeles TimesAlice Paul began her life as a studious girl from a strict Quaker family in New Jersey. In 1907, a scholarship took her to England, where she developed a passionate devotion to the suffrage movement. Upon her return to the United States, Alice became the leader of the militant wing of the American suffrage movement. Calling themselves “Silent Sentinels,” she and her followers were the first protestors to picket the White House. Arrested and jailed, they went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and brutalized. Years before Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent resistance, and decades before civil rights demonstrations, Alice Paul practiced peaceful civil disobedience in the pursuit of equal rights for women.With her daring and unconventional tactics, Alice Paul eventually succeeded in forcing President Woodrow Wilson and a reluctant U.S. Congress to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Here at last is the inspiring story of the young woman whose dedication to women's rights made that long-held dream a reality.“Alice Paul was a visionary and a pioneer . . . She went where most men and women would not have gone.” —Hillary Clinton“I value the book for introducing [Paul] to the next generation of feminists with a taste for revolution.” —Vivian Gornick, Ms. Magazine“Mary Walton vividly brings [Paul] to life again in this brilliant, important and highly readable book. America's understanding of its history will be all the richer for it.” —Gene Roberts, Pulitzer Prize–winning author
