Into The Void Bok
<p>The much-anticipated first book from Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler</p> <p>With over 70 million records sold, heavy-metal pioneers Black Sabbath are one of the most influential bands of all time. From the very beginning, Geezer Butler was at the heart of their success. He named the group, provided the bass behind their distinctive sound and wrote the lyrics that resonated so powerfully with fans around the world.</p> <p>At long last, Geezer is ready to tell his side of the Sabbath story, from early days as a scrappy blues quartet through to the many lineup changes, the record-breaking tours and the international hell-raising with Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward.</p> <p>Featuring Geezer's candid reflections on his working-class childhood in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, his almost-life as an accountant and his fascination with horror, religion and the occult,<em> Into the Void </em>reveals the softer side of the heavy-metal legend, while holding nothing back.</p> <p>Like Geezer's bass lines and the story of Black Sabbath themselves,<em> Into the Void </em>is original, dramatic and one hell of a ride.</p>

George Harrison Bok
<b>From the the author of the million-copy selling <i>Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation</i> and the bestselling <i>John Lennon: The Life comes </i>a revealing portrait of George Harrison, the most undervalued and mysterious Beatle.</b><br/><br/>Despite being hailed as one of the best guitarists of his era, George Harrison, particularly in his early decades, battled feelings of inferiority. He was often the butt of jokes from his bandmates owing to his lower-class background and, typically, was allowed to contribute only one or two songs per Beatles album out of the dozens he wrote.<br/><br/>Now, acclaimed Beatles biographer Philip Norman examines Harrison through the lens of his numerous self-contradictions. Compared to songwriting luminaries John Lennon and Paul McCartney he was considered a minor talent, yet he composed such masterpieces as 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and 'Here Comes the Sun', and his solo debut album 'All Things Must Pass' achieved enormous success, appearing on many lists of the 100 best rock albums ever. Modern music critics place him in the pantheon of Sixties guitar gods alongside Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page.<br/><br/>Harrison railed against the material world yet wrote the first pop song complaining about income tax. He spent years lovingly restoring his Friar Park estate as a spiritual journey, but quickly mortgaged the property to help rescue a film project that would be widely banned as sacrilegious, Monty Python's<i> Life of Brian</i>. Harrison could be fiercely jealous, but not only did he stay friends with Eric Clapton when Clapton fell in love with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, the two men grew even closer after Clapton walked away with her.<br/><br/><b>Unprecedented in scope and filled with numerous colour photos, this rich biography captures George Harrison at his most multi-faceted: devoted friend, loyal son, master guitar-player, brilliant songwriter, cocaine addict, serial philanderer, global philanthropist, student of Indian mysticism, self-deprecating comedian and, ultimately, iconic artist and man beloved by millions.</b>

Madonna Bok
<p><b>In this riveting and immersive biography, acclaimed author Mary Gabriel details the meteoric rise and enduring influence of </b><b>perhaps the greatest pop icon of the modern era: Madonna.</b><br/><br/>With her arrival on the pop music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion - as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles or Michael Jackson - <b>taking the world by storm with her liberated politics and breath-taking talent.</b> Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a shopping mall in California was nicknamed "The Madonna Mall" because it was overrun with "Material Girls". Later that year, the flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest with Andy Warhol as judge, and opened a department called "Madonna-land".<br/><br/>Everywhere, women and men gravitated to the singer and actor as an emblem of a new age, one in which the <b>women's liberation</b> could shed the buttoned-down demeanour and reserved seriousness of the '60s and '70s and continue to make tremendous strides for a new generation. Topping charts again and again with provocative, visionary music and videos, <b>Madonna brought queer and sexually-curious identities into the mainstream</b>, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever, and the space to be who they wanted.<br/><br/>Now, after almost <b>45 years in the spotlight, and in her 65th year</b>, no stranger to controversy, Madonna stands as one of the staunchest supporters of women's and LGBTQ+ rights and continues to represent a lionized emblem of liberation throughout the world.<br/><br/>Deftly tracing the artist's life and influence from her Michigan roots through to her sold out concerts around the globe, master biographer Mary Gabriel captures the <b>inspiration, fame, and activism</b> of one of the greatest music icons of our time.</p>

Diamanten I Kappsäcken - Min Resa Till Afrika Bok
Trumvirveln väcker Agneta flera gånger på natten, hon undrar var hon är. Den obekväma sängen, mörkret och värmen påminner henne om att hon är i det inre av Zaïre.<br/><br/>Beslutet som förändrade livet togs under en nattlig bussfärd. Resan, i Svenska baptistsamfundets tjänst, sker med en kappsäck och en försvunnen diamant. I arbetet att bidra till bättre hälsa för människor i en isolerad miljö, möter hon glädje, dramatik och problem. Periodvis lever Agneta ensam vit i området och får upptäcka effekter av ndoki. En kontroversiell arbetsfördelning förändrar situationen.<br/><br/>Agnetas kompetens och språk testas ständigt: Vilken är din hemlighet? Vad är det för ndoki du har som skyddar dig? Hennes kulturförståelse testas då hon oväntat hotas med machete, liksom i ett samtal om celibatet med en katolsk präst. Genom boken går en önskan om att upptäcka en försvunnen diamant, som visar sig i fasetter och leder henne vidare.<br/><br/>En oväntad spelpjäs finns plötsligt på spelplanen för Den försvunna diamanten. Agnetas resa förändras, men lojaliteten med en isolerad befolkning lever vidare.

Man Kan Om Man Vill - Att Leva Med Asperger Syndrom, Ur Två Perspektiv Bok
I din hand har du en bok som ger dig en inblick i det liv vi levt sedan Daniel föddes och fram till idag. Vi har skrivit om samma saker, vilket du kan se i rubrikerna. Genom att skriva våra namn vid respektive rubrik ger vi dig möjligheten att läsa boken lite hur du vill. Du kan antingen läsa den rakt igenom, eller genom att läsa vad den ene av oss har skrivit om något specifikt, som kanske intresserar just dig lite extra, och sedan jämföra det med vad den andre har skrivit om samma sak.<br/><br/>Sista kapitlet är en guide, där vi har skrivit om de människor som har haft störst inverkan på Daniels liv. Det är allt ifrån familjen, till kontaktpersoner och lärare. Vi har först beskrivit vad de gjort och vad det resulterat i för Daniels vidkommande, men också skrivit vad man kan tänkas dra för lärdom av det.<br/><br/>Daniel och jag lever båda med Asperger syndrom, Daniel genom att han har diagnosen och jag som anhörig. Vi har båda, p.g.a. detta, gått igenom jobbiga perioder. När Daniel var liten drev jag på trots att han motsatte sig det mesta. Han accepterade dock oftast till sist de förändringar jag ville tvinga honom igenom. Ordet "tvinga" är hårt, men det är just det jag gjorde. Jag hade ett mål i livet - att få Daniel att bli en fungerande vuxen. Det är han idag, och denna bok berättar hur vi gått tillväga för att komma hit. Boken berättar vilken hjälp han fått längs vägen och hur han hittade sitt eget driv - ett driv som idag ger honom möjligheten att kunna komma precis hur långt som helst. Resultatet har med andra ord blivit väldigt bra, men emellanåt på bekostnad av Daniels välmående. Så känns det i alla fall nu, efter att vi har skrivit boken och jag till fullo inser hur jobbigt Daniels liv har varit.<br/>Det är ofta vi har sett saker på olika sätt, och ofta det har uppstått missförstånd. Samtidigt som jag inser att hans liv emellanåt varit jobbigare än jag skulle önska att det varit, så skulle jag inte vilja att han nu var någonting mindre än det han blivit. Hade det gått att göra det på något annat sätt? Ja, kanske - med det här är vår historia.<br/>- Kerstin

Funny Life Bok
<p>Laugh along with Michael McIntyre as he lifts the curtain on his life in his long-awaited autobiography. </p><p>Michael's first book ended with his big break at the 2006 Royal Variety Performance. Waking up the next morning in the tiny rented flat he shared with his wife Kitty and their one-year-old son, he was beyond excited about the new glamorous world of show business. Unfortunately, he was also clueless...</p><p>In A Funny Life, Michael honestly and hilariously shares the highs and the lows of his rise to the top and desperate attempts to stay there. It's all here, from his disastrous panel show appearances to his hit TV shows, from mistakenly thinking he'd be a good chat show host and talent judge, to finding fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams and becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the world. Along the way he opens his man drawer, narrowly avoids disaster when his trousers fall down in front of three policemen and learns the hard way why he should always listen to his wife. </p><p>Michael has had a silly life, a stressful life, sometimes a moving and touching life, but always A Funny Life.</p>
