  This bundle offers a compelling exploration of the complex and often turbulent history of colonial conflict in the Southern Hemisphere. This three-part volume dives into the significant struggles that shaped the histories of Australia and New Zealand, shedding light on the fierce resistance of Indigenous communities against colonial powers.  
  The first section, Australia’s War, delves into the violent clashes between European settlers and Aboriginal Australians, exploring the devastating impact of colonization, frontier warfare, and the long-lasting consequences on Indigenous communities.  
  The second section, New Zealand Wars, examines the series of 19th-century armed conflicts between the British Crown and various Māori iwi (tribes), driven by land disputes, cultural resistance, and the fight for sovereignty.  
  The final section, The Māori and the Pākehā, offers a broader understanding of the cultural and political dynamics between the Māori and the European settlers (Pākehā), exploring themes of adaptation, resistance, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and rights. Together, these three perspectives provide a powerful and nuanced account of colonial conflict and Indigenous resilience, making this book essential reading for those seeking to understand the legacy of colonization in Australia and New Zealand.

  Songs that sell the most copies become hits, but some of those hits become something more—iconic recordings that not only inspire a generation but also change the direction of music. In Anatomy of 55 More Songs, based on his column for the Wall Street Journal, music journalist and historian Marc Myers tells the story behind fifty-five rock, pop, R&B, country, and soul-gospel hits through intimate interviews with the artists who wrote and recorded them. 
   
   
   
  Part oral history, part musical analysis, Anatomy of 55 More Songs ranges from Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" to Dionne Warwick's "Walk On By," The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid." Bernie Taupin recalls how he wrote the lyrics to Elton John's "Rocket Man;" Joan Jett remembers channeling her rage against how she had been unfairly labeled and treated as a female rocker into "Bad Reputation;" and Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Costello, Bob Weir, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Roberta Flack, John Mellencamp, Keith Richards, Carly Simon, and many others reveal the emotions and technique behind their major works. 
   
    
   
  Through an absorbing chronological, song-by-song analysis of the most memorable post-war hits, Anatomy of 55 More Songs provides a sweeping look at the evolution of pop music between 1964 and today.

  Guitar for Beginners - How to...

  Welcome to Guitar for Beginners. This book explains in a comprehensive yet simple way, the fundamentals of how to play the guitar. With over 180 photographic examples, illustrations and purpose made diagrams, the book also includes 42 downloadable mp3 tracks.
  Subjects a beginner is better off knowing now, rather than later, are covered, such as technique for left and right hand, using a plectrum, alternate picking, scale and chord construction, fretboard layout and how to navigate around it, chord changes, strumming, basic theory and plenty more.
  Melodies - Musical pieces for you to play are used to make the learning process practical and enjoyable. In various styles like Pop, Blues, Jazz, Country and Rock, each piece has a demonstration track and a backing track for you to play over. The standard and commonly used system for reading music for the guitar, known as tablature, is clearly explained and used throughout. To get you started and straight into playing music, numbers have been added underneath guitar tablature to assist you with understanding the rhythm.
  Playing Chords - Changing between chords and strumming are approached separately at first, so you can develop coordination in each hand independently. They are then brought together, starting with easy exercises, getting gradually more advanced until there is a rhythm guitar musical piece to play.
  Music Theory - The major scale, minor scale, pentatonic scales and basic chord construction are explained in terms of the fretboard and are re-inforced by being used in musical pieces in various styles, putting the theory into context.
  ReadingRhythm - Musical notation almost always features with guitar tablature, so a chapter is dedicated to reading rhythm from notation. This will give you a fuller understanding of how it works alongside tablature, which on its own does not indicate rhythm.
  Further Techniques - Further techniqes are explored including power chords, movable barre chords, palm muting, basic lead guitar techniques and improvising. All with musical pieces.
  What Else? - Each chapter ends with a set of questions to revise your knowledge. All answers are at the back of the book, along with advice on how to practice guitar and a handy chart for all major scales and their note names.
