The Prodigy's Cousin - Kimberly Stephens - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''[AN] IMPORTANT BOOK'' TEMPLE GRANDIN Over the course of her career, psychologist Joanne Ruthsatz has assembled the largest-ever research sample of child prodigies. Their accomplishments are epic. One could reproduce radio tunes by ear on a toy guitar at two years old. Another was a thirteen-year-old cooking sensation. And what Ruthsatz’s investigation revealed is noth­ing short of astonishing. Though the prodigies aren’t autistic, many have autistic family members. Each prodigy has an extraordinary memory and a keen eye for detail—well-known but often-overlooked strengths associated with autism. Ruthsatz proposes a startling possibility: might the abilities of child prodigies stem from a genetic link with autism? And could prodigies - children who have many of the strengths of autism but few of the challenges - be the key to a long-awaited autism breakthrough?This inspiring book about extraordinary children, indomitable parents and a researcher''s unorthodox hunch is essential reading for anyone interested in the brain and human potential.

Sick On You - Andrew Matheson - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Sick On You - Andrew Matheson - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

**MOJO MAGAZINE''S BOOK OF THE YEAR** The Hollywood Brats are the greatest band you’ve never heard of. Recording one near-perfect punk album in 1974, they were tragically ahead of their time. With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the Melody Maker and his template for the perfect band, Andrew Matheson set out, in 1971, to make musical history. His band, The Hollywood Brats, were pre-punk prophets – uncompromising, ultra-thin, wild, untameable and outrageous. But thrown into the crazy world of the 1970s London music scene, the Brats ultimately fell foul of the crooks and heavies that ran it and an industry that just wasn’t ready for them.Directly inspiring the London SS, the Clash, Malcolm McLaren and the Sex Pistols, The Hollywood Brats imploded too soon to share the glory. Punk’s answer to Withnail and I , Sick On You is a startling, funny and brilliantly entertaining period memoir about never quite achieving success, despite flying so close to greatness.

When George Klein was thirteen, he couldn''t have known how important the new kid in class - the one with the guitar, the boy named Elvis - would become in his life.

Full of anecdotes and first-hand accounts of some of the most defining moments in the legend''s life, Elvis: My Best Man captures the true essence of the man behind the music.

All Things Must Pass - Marc Shapiro - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

George Harrison was always known as the ''quiet Beatle'' As part of the biggest band in pop history, he took a back seat to Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but his talent shone through in the composition of classic songs such as ''Something'' and ''Here Comes The Sun''. In his solo career he occasionally threatened to eclipse both John and Paul on the world stage, and he joined forces with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff lynne to create the massively succsessful supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.However, the success of his professional life was often met by turmoil in his private life, and the loss of first wife Patti to best friend Eric Clapton, the traumatic attempt on his life by a knife wielding intruder and his final struggle against cancer meant that George Harrison''s life was nothing if not dramatic.Bestselling author Marc Shapiro has exclusively interviewed friends and former colleagues of the enigmatic guitar legend. This revealing biography reaffirms Harrison''s importance as an innovative and hugely talented musician and shows that, as a member of the most important band ever, as well as in his multi-faceted career after the Beatles, George Harrison was no ordinary man.

Last Orders Please - Jim Melly - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''There was this terrible trough in the mid-70s: England didn''t qualify forthe 1974 World Cup, Miss Hall our English teacher left school, and the Faces split.'' Billy BraggDo you remember The Faces? The group that was born out of the ashes of the legendary sixties band the Small Faces, but with the addition of Ron Wood on guitar (later to join the Stones) and Rod Stewart on vocals. Last Orders, Please is the first biography of the band who have acquired legendary status in the annals of rock ''n'' roll history. It''s also a book about Britain in a forgotten era - the early seventies. Not the seventies of Glam Rock, Sweet and Gary Glitter, but the real seventies of the three day week, trade union strikes, blackouts, the IRA, steak, chips and warm beer. In these difficult times it was the Faces - a soulful, goodtime band who drank and played hard, who didn''t dress to impress, but just got on with the job - that the working class adopted as its own. In the days before football was fashionable the Faces played soccer on stage on TOTP. In 1974 this was a near-political act that confirmed The Faces as truly a people''s band, and they are still loved, and revered to this day.
