Sinopsis

Hip Hop Growth examines the remarkable journey of hip-hop from its origins as a localized cultural expression to its current status as a global force in music, fashion, and social trends. The book argues that this evolution is not merely artistic but is deeply intertwined with strategic marketing, shifting consumer preferences, and the ability of artists to adapt within a dynamic cultural landscape. For example, consider how early block parties transformed into massive commercial ventures.

 
 The book explores hip-hop's roots in the Bronx during the 1970s, highlighting the socio-economic factors that fueled its initial rise, such as urban decay and the quest for self-expression. It traces key periods of growth, including the commercial breakthrough of the 1980s and its subsequent globalization.

 
 Each chapter analyzes the impact of specific artists, record labels, and media outlets, employing data from sales figures, radio airplay, and social media metrics, alongside interviews and cultural analyses. The book offers interdisciplinary connections across economics, sociology, and media studies, providing insights into the economic forces that have shaped hip-hop, its social and cultural impact on identity, and the role of media in shaping perceptions. It presents a comprehensive, nuanced understanding, making it valuable for students, industry professionals, and anyone interested in popular culture.

    A hilarious and biting memoir from the actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live alumni David Spade. 
    David Spade is best known for his harsh “Hollywood” Minute Sketches on SNL, his starring roles in movies like Joe Dirt and Tommy Boy,  and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the series Just Shoot Me. Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the “comic brat extraordinaire” tells his story in Almost Interesting. 
    First Taking fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounting his excruciating road-tour to fame—when he was regularly mistaken for a ten year-old, Spade then dishes about his time crisscrossing the country as a comedian, for low-paying gigs and dragging along his mother’s old suitcase full of props. He also covers his years on SNL during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s, including his close working relationship and friendship with Chris Farley and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life, including the constant fear of being fired, a crazy ex-assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping, a run-in with Eddie Murphy on the mean streets of Beverly Hills, and of course an endless supply of hot chicks.   
    Sometimes dirty, always funny, and as sharp as a tack, Almost Interesting reminds you why David Spade is one of our generation’s favorite funny guys.

    "Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy 
     
     
     
    Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. 
     
     
     
    Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. 
     
     
     
    Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.

    A rich, penetrating memoir about the author's relationship with a flawed but influential figure—the painter Lucian Freud—and the satisfactions and struggles of a life lived through art. 
     
     
     
    One of Britain's most important contemporary painters, Celia Paul has written a reflective, intimate memoir of her life as an artist. Self-Portrait tells the artist's story in her own words, drawn from early journal entries as well as memory, of her childhood in India and her days as a art student at London's Slade School of Fine Art; of her intense decades-long relationship with the older esteemed painter Lucian Freud and the birth of their son; of the challenges of motherhood, the unresolvable conflict between caring for a child and remaining committed to art; of the "invisible skeins between people," the profound familial connections Paul communicates through her paintings of her mother and sisters; and finally, of the mystical presence in her own solitary vision of the world around her. 
     
     
     
    Self-Portrait is a powerful, liberating evocation of a life and of a life-long dedication to art. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
