Sinopsis

Moonwalk Secrets unveils the captivating journey of the moonwalk, exploring its rich history, intricate technique, and profound cultural impact. More than just a biography, this book traces the evolution of this iconic dance move from its obscure origins to its place as a global phenomenon, famously associated with Michael Jackson.

 
Did you know the moonwalk's roots extend far beyond Jackson, with influences from jazz, tap, and various street dance styles? The book meticulously deconstructs the moonwalk, analyzing the biomechanics while highlighting overlooked figures who shaped its development.

 
The book progresses through chapters that begin by examining the dance's technique, then investigates the dance's pre-Jackson history, and culminates in an analysis of the moonwalk's impact on popular culture. Drawing on archival footage and interviews, the author challenges the conventional narrative, emphasizing the cultural exchange and innovation behind the move.

 
It's a critical examination of dance history, offering insights into cultural appropriation and the power of performance. Moonwalk Secrets is unique because it reframes our understanding of a familiar dance move, revealing the hidden stories and diverse influences that contributed to its creation.

 
Dance enthusiasts, music aficionados, and cultural historians alike will appreciate this deep dive into the origins, technique, and cultural significance of one of history’s most recognizable dance moves.

    From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon. Read by Bill Nighy, this audiobook includes an exclusive interview between the actor and Sir Paul Smith.‘I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can't, look again’ – Sir Paul SmithSir Paul’s journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham.For the first time, and with his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis, Giorgio Armani and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers.Guided by his father’s advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.'Paul is a Great British Icon and this is an iconic book. ' – Dylan Jones'Paul Smith is a brilliant storyteller. ' – Deyan Sudjic'Fascinating.' – Suzy Menkes'One of the pillars of great English design' – Manolo Blahnik

    Ticket to the World is a joyous, nostalgic celebration of 80s culture from one man at the centre of it all.  
    New Year’s Eve, 1979. My family and I stand arm in arm around our Formica kitchen table, counting down to the new decade with each televised chime of Big Ben. We have no idea what is about to hit us, no idea of the seismic waves of change approaching. 
    The 80s transformed life as we knew it. Music, style and culture exploded in a haze of dayglo colour. There were hardships, but there were opportunities too. And I lived through – and helped to shape – Britain’s last real youth movement. 
    Ticket to the World is my time-warp trip down memory lane, reliving that truly unforgettable decade. Join me as I recall what it was like to lead the New Romantics, stay up all night at the Blitz with Sade and Boy George, travel the world with Spandau Ballet and contribute to the era-defining Live Aid. 
    So, grab that glass of Babycham and let’s toast the very best of the 80s: the creativity and the culture, the fashion and the FUN! 
    In this riveting autobiography, Martin Kemp takes us on a personal journey through the famous and popular culture of the 80s. His memoirs are a rich tapestry of entertainment, social changes, and performing arts that defined the era. 
    For fans of Shirlie Kemp (Pepsi & Shirlie), Paul Mccartney (The Lyrics), Ted Widmer (Wings), Linda Calvey (Life Inside), and Elton John (Watford Forever).

    The Tale of a Tale is a companion to The Tale of a Hip (published 2018). It expands on the theme of taking up ballroom dancing seriously in middle age, and the problem of misaligned bones, a limiting factor in many aspects of Pamela's life, leading ultimately to hip replacement. Despite difficulties, she and John go on to take professional exams in both ballroom and Latin American dancing, and teach for more than twenty years, offering the joy, companionship, and relief from worldly cares they have experienced themselves to a large number of people. A second strand of the book follows major current events, notably Brexit and COVID-19, and shows an old person's take on social change, and the march of technology. Controversial issues related to equality and diversity are explored from a then-and-now perspective, with humour, and respect.

    A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world.  
     
    The story of a boy and his best friend ― a stuffed tiger ― was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination ― its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations ― helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.
