  The historical figure of the dandy has commonly been described as an upper-class gentleman. But there is a broader history to be told about the dandy—one that incorporates unknown men from the lower strata of society.The Dandy: A People's History constitutes the first history of those dandies who emanated from the less privileged layers of the populace—the lowly clerks, shop assistants, domestic servants, and laborers who increasingly during the modern age have emerged as style-conscious men about town.A series of fascinating in-depth studies of the wide variety of dandy subcultures that have surfaced around the world in the last two centuries tell the story of how the shaping of fashions and the image of men became increasingly democratized, with the arbiters of taste increasingly coming from the other end of the social spectrum. We encounter such long-forgotten groups as the mashers, the knuts, the Paris gandins and the Berlin transgender dandies, alongside unexplored figures like the zoot suiter, the teddy boy, and the New Romantic.This is a story of how fundamental aspects of modern culture such as fashion, style, and conduct have been shaped from below just as much as from above.

  Collective Souls - Generations...

  Collective Souls weaves generational theory, astrology and mythic storytelling into a groundbreaking exploration of how time moves through us. Drawing on the cyclical insights of Pluto's transits and the archetypes of each generation, astrologer and educator Daljeet Peterson offers a map for navigating the cultural, psychological and spiritual crisis of our age. 
  As America celebrates its 250th birthday and Pluto returns to the very place it stood in 1776, we find ourselves at a crossroads of history and soul. Polarization deepens, institutions falter, and meaning seems harder to find. But what if there's a deeper pattern behind the chaos? 
  From the prophetic fire of the Baby Boomers, to the bridge-building resilience of Generation X,  the visionary drive of the Millennials, and the rising transformative spirit of Gen Z, this book reveals how each generation carries a vital piece of the collective puzzle—and how their dynamic interplay shapes the soul of history itself. 
  Part cultural cartography, part spiritual guide book, Collective Souls invite you to step into a deeper awareness of your place in time. It is a book for anyone seeking to orient themselves in the great turning of the age.

  Audio Snaps Volume Two - the...

  Audio Snaps is a series of 100-minute audio books, each featuring a dozen or so stories from each of my five books. Black Vinyl White Powder is a bit different from the other books in that it was written as a continuous narrative moving through story after story. So the best way to fit it into the formula for the series was simply to read the first six chapters (later, I'll do the rest of the book). Black Vinyl White Powder is a history of the British pop music with insight into the recreational drugs of the the day and their relevance. Since I was there, and a part of it, it's very much written from my own point of view. The reviews when it was first published were exceptional, for instance - "One of the most authoritative, intelligent, diligently researched, 
  conscientiously indexed, and thoroughly unpretentious disquisitions on 
  the history of the British pop scene yet written." SUNDAY TELEGRAPH - "Napier-Bell provides a one-stop-shop education in what the music business – as opposed to the music itself – has always been about: get rich, get high, get laid." THE INDEPENDENT - "His preoccupation with trivia is what makes his book so compelling and informative. Napier-Bell knows that if you scratch the surface of pop music you will find more surface."

  Seasonal Dreamer: Home Is In My Suitcase is a powerful memoir about sacrifice, resilience, and the pursuit of a better future. 
  Jermaine Andre Howard shares his personal journey as a seasonal worker traveling to the United States under the H-2B visa program. Leaving behind family, comfort, and familiarity, he enters a demanding world of long hours, cultural challenges, and emotional distance from loved ones. 
  Through stories of hard work in restaurants and resorts, language barriers, shared housing, and moments of loneliness, the author reveals the strength required to endure life far from home. Yet within those struggles are lessons about determination, growth, and the dignity of honest labor. 
  This book is a tribute to the millions of seasonal workers around the world who cross borders with hope, sacrifice comfort for opportunity, and carry their dreams and their homes; in a suitcase.

  The Timeline of Intelligent Life...

  I’m fascinated with Ancient History because there are continuous new discoveries which push back the dawn of civilization by thousands of years. In the last couple of decades, the discoveries at Gobekli Tepe in eastern Turkey pushed back man-made structures to the time period of 9,000-11,000 B.C. Thousands of years before the next know civilizations existed.This book includes my research on ancient sites around the world, underground structures, giants, the destruction of civilization about 10,500 B.C., the real Atlantis, and out of place objects which can be millions of years old.With this collection of a wide variety of information I decided that what is needed is a full timeline of intelligent life on Earth from millions of years ago to the present. There are a lot of gaps in this information but enough records, findings, and discoveries exist to propose an initial timeline of intelligent life on Earth going back hundreds of millions of years.Yes-I’m saying intelligent life has existed on Earth that long, and since humanity and even primates don’t exist in those times at all, aliens must have lived on the Earth at that time. There are three parts to this book:Part One - Millions of Years AgoThis includes stories of aliens existing on Earth in our history, and many out of place objects made by intelligent beings, and the fossil record which provides supporting evidence that intelligent life did exist at those times.Part Two - The Unknown Civilizations of ManHere we have evidence of structures built by man but way before any accepted records that civilization or man made constructions existed. Some of these things may go back 100,000 years ago.Part Three – Post Ice Age CivilizationsThis part includes evidence that the Younger Dryas event was actually comets striking the Earth which caused major disasters and probably the destruction of civilizations about 10,500 B.C.My intention is that this timeline will provide a skeleton to be filled in.
