<i>People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy.</i><br/><br/><i>Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere.</i><br/><br/>At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world.<br/><br/>Then disaster.<br/><br/>In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down.<br/><br/><i>Last Rites</i> is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister.<br/><br/>Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, <i>Last Rites</i> demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg--<i>Back to the Future</i>. Sitcom during the day, movie at night--day after day, for months.<br/><br/>Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.<br/><br/>In <i>Future Boy</i>, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time--a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

Boken RÅPUNK - The Birth of Swedish Hardcore dokumenterar den svenska råpunkscenen mellan åren 1981 - 1989.Den andra svenska punkvågen inspirerades av band som DISCHARGE, CRASS och DEAD KENNEDYS och utlöste en ursinnig, unik musikalisk och visuell attack som fortfarande påverkar och influerar punk-fans världen över.<br/>Råpunk fångar scenens anda och energi genom att publicera unika foton på band som ANTICIMEX, ASOCIAL, AVSKUM, DISARM, HUVUDTVÄTT/HEADCLEANERS, MISSBRUKARNA, MOB 47, MODERAT LIKVIDATION, RAPED TEENAGERS, RÖVSVETT, SKITSLICKERS, SVART PARAD, SVART SNÖ, SWANKERS PMS, TOTALITÄR och många, många fler. Boken dokumenterar också de som gick på spelningar, organiserade demonstrationer och husockupationer, gav ut fanzines, skivor och kassetter - alla vilka representerade minst lika viktiga kreativa och ideologiska delar av scenen. Råpunk innehåller också ett stort antal fanzines, posters, skiv- och kassettomslag vilka fångar råpunkscenens råa, expressiva och viktiga Do It Yourself-design och filosofi.<br/>Boken är skriven av DAVID ANDERSSON, en medlem av scenen i egenskap av redaktör av fanzinet BUBBEL-BAD och sångare i IDENTITY. Förordet är skrivet av legendariske NAPALM DEATHsångaren LEE DORRIAN som turnerade i Sverige under aktuell tid och också var en av de få som bokade svenska råpunkband i Storbritannien.<br/>Råpunk - The Birth of Swedish Hardcore fyller en viktig lucka då detta är första gången densvenska råpunkscenen under 1980-talet dokumenteras visuellt i bokform.

The Book of Becoming<br/><br/> What does it mean to return to yourself after a lifetime of fragmentation?<br/> How do you hold both the child who aches and the woman who chooses, without collapsing into either?<br/><br/> The Book of Becoming is a guide for women walking the long road of healing not toward perfection, but toward wholeness. With unflinching honesty, Josphine traces the contours of the mother wound, the ache of heartbreak, and the sovereignty that emerges when we begin to protect our nervous systems as sacred land.<br/><br/> Drawing from somatic wisdom, spiritual practices, and the raw terrain of lived experience, this book offers language for what so many women have carried silently: the panic of falling behind, the exhaustion of caretaking, the longing for love that does not deplete.<br/><br/> This is not a book of quick steps or neat formulas. It is an invitation into deeper embodiment, slower rhythms, and the courage to choose yourself without apology.<br/><br/> For every woman who has whispered, there must be more than this, here is a companion for the becoming you already carry within.

<strong>'A superb work of history' </strong>JAMES HOLLAND <br/><br/><strong>'A thrilling account from a master of Second World War history' </strong>DAN SNOW <br/><br/> <strong>A landmark history of the U-Boat war told through the experiences and recollections of the U-Boat crews themselves.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Winston Churchill famously remarked that the threat of the German U-Boats was the only thing that had "really frightened" him during World War Two. The U-Boats certainly claimed a bitter harvest among Allied shipping: nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, for a total tonnage of over 14 million tonnes, nearly 70% of Allied shipping losses in all theatres of the war. With justification, then, they are an integral part of the traditional narrative of the Battle of the Atlantic; a story of technological brilliance, dramatic sinkings, life and death, and - of course - the sinister, unseen threat of the U-Boats themselves.</strong> <br/><br/>For Allied seamen during the war, the U-Boat was a hidden menace, a faceless killer lurking beneath the waves; and the urgent needs of survival afforded them little time or energy to consider the challenges and privations of their enemy. History, however, affords us that time and energy, and any pretence of comprehensiveness demands that we consider what life was like for the crews of those most claustrophobic vessels; packed into a steel hull, at the mercy of the enemy, of the elements - and of basic physics. <br/><br/>Germany's U-Boat crews posted the highest per-capita losses of any combat arm during World War Two. Some 30,000 German submariners were killed - over 75% of the total number deployed - the vast majority of whom have no grave except the seabed. Using archival sources, unpublished diaries and existing memoir literature, this book will give the U-Boatmen back their voice, allowing their side of the narrative to be aired in a comprehensive manner for the first time. <br/><br/>With that testimony, <em>Wolfpack</em> takes the reader from the heady early days of the war, when U-Boat crews were buoyed with optimism about their cause, through to the challenges of meeting the Allied counterthreat, to the final horror of defeat, when their submarines were captured by the enemy or scuttled in ignominy. Using the U-Boatmen's own voices to punctuate an engaging narrative, it tells their story; of courage, certainly, but also of fear, privation and - ultimately - failure.
