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.

<b>Photographs and Reflections by Paul McCartney</b><br/><br/><b><i>'Millions of eyes were suddenly upon us, creating a picture I will never forget for the rest of my life.'</i></b><br/><br/>In 2020, an extraordinary trove of nearly a thousand photographs taken by Paul McCartney on a 35mm camera was re-discovered in his archive. They intimately record the months towards the end of 1963 and beginning of 1964 when Beatlemania erupted in the UK and, after the band's first visit to the USA, they became the most famous people on the planet. The photographs are McCartney's personal record of this explosive time, when he was, as he puts it, in the 'Eyes of the Storm'.<br/><br/><i>1964: Eyes of the Storm</i> presents 275 of McCartney's photographs from the six cities of these intense, legendary months - Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C. and Miami - and many never-before-seen portraits of John, George and Ringo. In his Foreword and Introductions to these city portfolios, McCartney remembers 'what else can you call it - <i>pandemonium</i>' and conveys his impressions of Britain and America in 1964 - the moment when the culture changed and the Sixties really began.<br/><br/><i>1964: Eyes of the Storm </i>includes:<br/>- Six city portfolios - Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C. and Miami - and a Coda on the later months of 1964 - featuring 275 of Paul McCartney's photographs and his candid reflections on them<br/>- A Foreword by Paul McCartney<br/>- <i>Beatleland</i>, an Introduction by Harvard historian and <i>New Yorker</i> essayist Jill Lepore<br/>- A Preface by Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, London, and <i>Another Lens</i>, an essay by Senior Curator Rosie Broadley

<b>The first and only comprehensive overview of Givenchy's collections, presented through catwalk photography and published in collaboration with the celebrated fashion house.</b><br/><br/> Founded by the dashing Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, the house would go on to symbolize the height of effortless elegance, as embodied by Givenchy's muse (and close friend) Audrey Hepburn. After its founder's retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy. More recently, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci took the brand into a resolutely contemporary direction following his appointment in 2005 (dressing icons such as Beyonce), followed by Clare Waight Keller and American designer Matthew M. Williams.<br/><br/> This definitive publication - the only monograph in print on the house of Givenchy - opens with a concise history of the fashion house before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Givenchy's history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.<br/><br/> After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace and Chloe, Givenchy is the ninth in a series of high-end, clothbound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
