Radiohead - Every Album Every Song

William Allen

Sinossi

Formed at their Oxfordshire secondary school in the mid-eighties, Radiohead have gone on arguably to be not only the most important rock group of the 1990s, but also the most significant post-rock group of the new century. Few would have predicted such greatness when their 1993 debut Pablo Honey appeared, revealing an infatuation with The Pixies and, in ‘Creep’ featuring a lead single deemed ‘too depressing to be playlisted on BBC Radio 1’. They went on to deliver two of the era-defining albums of the ‘90s in The Bends and OK Computer, the latter in particular, redefining what could be achieved in the realm of guitar- based rock. In the early 2000s, they radically rewrote the rulebook both for themselves and for popular music, largely eschewing guitar rock for the experimental, electronic Kid A and Amnesiac. In 2016 they issued their ninth album A Moon Shaped Pool – the latest in a series of works that has seen the group restlessly finding new approaches to both composition and recording. This book examines each album (and each peripheral song, from singles, B-sides and EPs) with stories and analysis of every officially released track.
 
William Allen is a musician and guitar teacher. Having completed a music degree at Brunel Music he went on to attain a Masters in Composition for Film and TV from Kingston University. This led to providing incidental music for the Big Finish series of Doctor Who audio CDs. He lives in Whaley Bridge, UK.

Lionel Barrymore - Character and...

Kathleen Spaltro

Once called "the most gifted character actor of our time," Lionel Barrymore (1878-1954) was part of the illustrious Barrymore acting dynasty. Although he garnered success on stage and screen and was a talented actor, writer, director, visual artist, and composer, he never escaped the shadow of his family. Barrymore won the Academy Award for Best Actor in A Free Soul and was nominated for Best Director for Madame X. He is best known for his role as Mr. Potter in It's a Wonderful Life and as the voice of Ebenezer Scrooge. He spent the last two decades of his career playing versions of his signature character—the curmudgeonly but lovable gentleman—in a variety of films. Barrymore worked alongside some of Hollywood's most recognizable names, and his legacy is enshrined at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Last Great Indian Kingdoms -...

Rolf Hedger

As foreign invasions and internal struggles reshaped India’s political landscape, a few powerful kingdoms stood as the last great defenders of Indian sovereignty before their eventual decline.  
The Pala Empire, the Vijayanagara Empire, and the Chola Empire were among the most influential dynasties, each leaving a lasting impact on Indian culture, politics, and military strategy.  
The Pala Empire, known for its strong Buddhist patronage, was one of the last major bastions of Buddhism in India, promoting education through institutions like Nalanda. The Chola Empire, a dominant force in South India, built a vast maritime network, expanded its influence to Southeast Asia, and created architectural marvels such as the Brihadeeswarar Temple.  
The Vijayanagara Empire, founded as a Hindu stronghold against Islamic expansion, became a beacon of art, culture, and military resilience, with its capital, Hampi, standing as a testament to its grandeur.  
Despite their military strength and cultural achievements, these kingdoms eventually fell to foreign invasions and internal strife, marking the end of an era in Indian history.
