SUMMARY
What if your life wasn’t a race to the finish line—but a painting in progress? What if every day could feel more like wandering through a mountain path, resting by a flowing river, or breathing beneath an open sky? In Shan Shui: Designing Your Inner Landscape, author Rick T. Fu introduces listeners to the ancient Chinese art of shan shui (山水—literally “mountain-water”) and shows how it offers a timeless blueprint for modern life. For centuries, Shan Shui was more than painting. It was philosophy in ink, poetry in brushstrokes, and an invitation to wander through imagined landscapes that reflected harmony between humans and nature. Today, in a world of speed, stress, and noise, its wisdom feels more urgent than ever. This isn’t a history book, nor an art manual. It’s a practical guide to living with balance—using Shan Shui’s principles of mountain (stability), water (adaptability), and emptiness (space to breathe) to reshape the way you see yourself, your environment, and your challenges. You’ll learn to design not only your surroundings but also your inner terrain, so that calm, creativity, and clarity become part of your everyday life. Inside, you’ll discover how mountains, water, and sky mirror your own needs for grounding, flow, and rest. You’ll explore the idea of borrowed scenery, a Shan Shui principle that expands your horizons by bringing beauty into your daily environment. You’ll practice wandering without leaving—the art of woyou, showing how imagination can refresh you even when you’re stuck in routine. You’ll see how Shan Shui poetry, like brushstrokes, can open new perspectives in your mind. You’ll learn practical design tips for shaping your home, workspace, and even digital devices with balance and simplicity. And you’ll find ways to apply the principles of mountain, water, and sky in moments of stress, loss, or upheaval, so you remain steady no matter what life brings.

EDITOR Editorial Almuzara
CATEGORÍAS Biography, Visual Artist

RESUMEN
La vida de Julio Romero de Torres, a pesar de ser una figura muy relevante, se desvaneció una tarde entre las cenizas de su correspondencia. Una vida que comenzó en el silencio de un patio cordobés y al que volvió al final de sus días. Su autor nos hará mirar por un prisma que revelará diferentes facetas de la vida del pintor. Así, recorreremos los momentos más importantes de la vida y la obra de Julio Romero de Torres, pero también aquellos menos conocidos del creador de La musa gitana. A lo largo de sus páginas descubriremos a su familia, de la cual heredó el amor hacia el arte; su ciudad, Córdoba, cuya influencia marcó el gusto y la forma de ver el mundo del artista; su traslado a Madrid, que acrecentó la universalidad de su obra; su visión de la mujer, que se convierte en protagonista indiscutible de sus lienzos, y el papel secundario al que queda relegada su esposa; la muerte, que envuelve sus últimas obras y su funeral; y, por último, volviendo a fusionar todos estos enfoques en un brillante rayo de luz, su legado, con un recorrido por sus óleos y por su museo, contemplando cómo cada pincelada lo condujo a la eternidad. «Teo Fernández es de esas personas que pueden escribir con autoridad sobre Córdoba y sus personajes, porque la ha pateado, la ha explicado, la ha divulgado». Juan José Primo Jurado

TITLE Crumb
SUBTITLE A Cartoonist's Life
AUTHOR Dan Nadel
NARRATOR Rob Shapiro
LANGUAGE English
RELEASE DATE 04-15-2025
PUBLISHER Simon & Schuster Audio
CATEGORIES Art, Author, Biography, Visual Artist, Writer

SUMMARY
The first biography of Robert Crumb—one of the most profound and influential artists of the 20th century—whose iconic, radically frank and meticulously rendered cartoons and comics inspired generations of readers and cartoonists, from Art Spiegelman to Alison Bechdel. Robert Crumb is often credited with single-handedly transforming the comics medium into a place for adult expression, in the process pioneering the underground comic book industry, and transforming the vernacular language of 20th-century America into an instantly recognizable and popular aesthetic, as iconic as Walt Disney or Charles Schulz. Now, for the first time, Dan Nadel, a curator and writer specializing in comics and art, shares how this complicated artist survived childhood abuse, fame in his twenties, more fame, and came out the other side intact. More than just a biography of an iconic cartoonist, Crumb is the story of a richly complex life at the forefront of both the underground and popular cultures of post-war America. Including forty-five stunning black-and-white images throughout and a sixteen-page color insert featuring images both iconic and obscure, Crumb spans the pressures of 1950s suburban America and Crumb’s highly dysfunctional early family life; the history of comics and graphic satire; 20th century popular music; the world of the counterculture; the birth of underground comic books in 1960s San Francisco with Crumb’s Zap Comix; the economic challenges and dissolution of the hippie dream; and the path Robert Crumb blazed through it all. Written with Crumb’s cooperation, this fascinating, rollicking book takes in seven decades of Crumb’s iconic works, including Fritz the Cat, Weirdo, and his final book-length comic of The Book of Genesis; capturing, in the process, the essence of an extraordinary artist and his times.

CATEGORIES Art, Biography, Creativity, Learning, Publishing, Self-Help, Visual Artist

SUMMARY
Brought to you by Penguin. WHAT YOU MAKE MATTERS. From Amie McNee, the voice behind Inspired to Write, a manifesto on the vital, human importance of creating, with guidance for all artists in all endeavours, whether they're starting their journey or seeking a fresh perspective. In We Need Your Art, Amie McNee calls artists and aspiring artists of all kinds to do the work they’re meant to do: create. Using her own experiences as a novelist and the inspiration she’s shared as a creative coach, Amie guides you on why we need your art and how you can make it happen - starting with a two-week reset plan to help you kick-start your creative habit. This isn’t about writing your great novel in a month or painting a masterpiece in a flurry of inspiration. Rather, this process is about practicing small, sustainable creative steps every day over time - five hundred words of writing each day, a pencil sketch every evening - so that you avoid burnout, produce consistent, reliable content on your own terms, and begin to see yourself as an artist. With frank and empowering conversations on the many issues creatives face, including impostor syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and the inner critic, as well as invitations to coronate yourself and celebrate your ambition, Amie provides the framework and encouragement you need to begin to take your art seriously. Each chapter also includes journal prompts that help you apply what you have learned to your new life. We Need Your Art is a revolutionary reprogramming of everything we have been taught and told about being a creative, removing the shame and fear we may feel at dubbing ourselves artists and inviting us to create proudly, with celebration. This book is a warm hug, a pep talk, the wise teacher you always wanted, the loving parent you needed, and the fire in your belly that you need to get roaring.

TITLE The Man Nobody Killed

AUTHOR Elon Green
NARRATOR Dion Graham
LANGUAGE English
RELEASE DATE 03-11-2025
PUBLISHER Macmillan Audio
CATEGORIES African American, America, Art, Biography, Black People, History, Murder, True Crime, United States of America

SUMMARY
The first comprehensive book about Michael Stewart, the young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983, from Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call. At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall. Witnesses reported officers beating him with Billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma. This was, at that point, the most widely noticed act of police brutality in the city's history. The Man Nobody Killed recounts the cultural impact of Michael Stewart’s life and death. The Stewart case quickly catalyzed movements across multiple communities. It became a rallying cry, taken up by artists and singers including Madonna, Keith Haring, Spike Lee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, tabloid legends such as Jimmy Breslin and Murray Kempton, and the pioneering local news reporter, Gabe Pressman. The Stewart family and the downtown arts community of 1980s New York demanded justice for Michael, leading to multiple investigations into the circumstances of his wrongful death. Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call, presents the first comprehensive narrative account of Michael Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us the story of a promising life cut short and a vivid snapshot of the world surrounding this loss. A tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene, The Man Nobody Killed serves as a poignant reminder of recurring horrors in American history and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails.

LANGUAGE English
RELEASE DATE 03-10-2025
PUBLISHER Audible Originals
CATEGORIES Biography, Funny, Performing Arts

SUMMARY
Lifelong friends Mel and Sue ask each other the questions they’re too embarrassed to ask anyone else… We all have things in our life that we should know by now, but don’t. Absences in our knowledge and skillset that are frankly shameful in an adult. Things that would be too embarrassing to ask anyone to explain – except our very best friend… Listen in as Mel and Sue tackle their ignorance head on, asking each other to explain something that they still don’t know - but absolutely, as adults, should - from how to parallel park to fully understanding bread (why has it got all those holes in it? What, honestly, is yeast?). Along the way, we’ll hear about the notorious Great British Bake Off wrap parties, Sue’s total lack of boundaries with her dog (and with everyone and everything else), their wild psychedelic nights out, weird eating habits, disastrous early comedy gigs, backstage stories of their presenting career, and much more. Mel and Sue are here to help us all feel a little better about our own ignorance, and ultimately give us a front row seat to their infectiously funny relationship. Episode 1: Bread and Dogs What is the particular alchemy that makes bread rise and does Sue’s dog really understand her? In this first episode of the series Mel confesses that despite working on Bake Off for 7 years she still doesn’t quite ‘get’ how bread works. Turns out Sue isn’t the only Bake Off alum who’s shocked by her admission…Meanwhile Mel can’t quite believe the life of luxury Sue’s dog enjoys and the level of the baby talk it has to endure, so the question of whether or not her dog can truly ‘understand’ English, feels like it might just open the door to more problems… Episode 2: Lentils and Pants Where do lentils come from, and how many pairs of pants should you plan to take on holiday? Mel’s embarrassed that a basic kitchen ingredient that she uses all the time is such a mystery to her. However, when talk inevitably turns to the microbiome, so too a contested (between our two hosts) anecdote about a celebrity wrap party that ended in gut disaster. Sue’s query this ep leads seamlessly on, in a chat that encompasses holiday packing, when it’s ok to go commando, and a mathematical equation that will simplify your life. Episode 3: Parking and Floor Food Is there a science to parallel parking and what can we really eat off the floor without making ourselves violently ill? Sue is a great driver. She’s negotiated some of the world’s toughest courses over the years, but parallel parking in front of a crowd? Forget about it. Can Mel’s ‘foolproof’ directions help or might they end up complicating matters? Mel counters with a question that covers everything from the perils of deadly mushroom foraging via the science of the 5 second rule. Episode 4: Kink and Hairdressers What does kink really mean? And how can you train yourself to be truly honest with your hairdresser? Mel is clenched asking this question already… She’s heard the K word bandied about by some people younger than her, but what does it actually mean? Cue Sue with her Kink quiz to really make Mel start stress eating the studio snacks.

TITLE I'm Not Your Muse
SUBTITLE Uncovering the Overshadowed Brilliance of Women Artists & Visionaries
AUTHOR Lori Zimmer
NARRATOR Traci Odom
LANGUAGE English
RELEASE DATE 02-25-2025
PUBLISHER Running Press Adult
CATEGORIES Art, Biography, Female Protagonist, History

SUMMARY
An illuminating exploration of 31 incredible women—across art, architecture, dance, literature, and more—whose culture-defining contributions have, until now, been overshadowed by their role as "muses" to history's better-known men. What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. Perhaps her inspiring presence is even credited in the story of his success. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another. I'm Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women, from "The Mother of the Movies" Alice Guy-Blaché to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts. Whether by historical accident or cruel design, their contributions have historically been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, and often collaborators. In this briskly written, incisively researched compendium, author and researcher Lori Zimmer repositions these women as the main characters of their own lives. Each profile is accented with original illustrations—including jaunty portraits in playfully constructed frames—by artist Maria Krasinski. Together, they highlight the contemporary accomplishments and historical legacies of a wide-ranging group of revolutionary women. Featured women include:

NARRATOR Ben Arogundade
LANGUAGE English
RELEASE DATE 02-13-2025
PUBLISHER Cassell
CATEGORIES African American, America, Art, Black People, Entertainment, Fiction, History, Theater, United States of America

SUMMARY
Are the Oscars (still) so white? Is it even possible to decolonise the film industry? Why is Hollywood's race problem everyone's problem? Ignoring the systemic racial inequalities in film is losing the industry $10 billion a year. Yet, parity, diversity, and inclusion are fundamental issues that the Oscar Awards are only just beginning to address. In this book, award-winning writer, broadcaster, model, and fashion designer, Ben Arogundade, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about Hollywood - documenting the stories and struggles of black artists within the movie industry that have so far been left out of the canon. The chapters are structured chronologically around different Oscar winners, from Hattie McDaniel to Halle Berry. Each section is rich with exhaustive research, to demonstrate sociological and historical influences on black artists, highlight positive progress, and make you realise that certain injustices still remain. Hollywood Blackout is a much-needed provocation to look more critically at the accepted narratives within film, and examine how the industry both reflects and influences societal views on race.

CATEGORIES Art, Biography, Coming of Age, Female Protagonist, For Children, History

SUMMARY
From award-winning kids’ nonfiction author Susan Goldman Rubin, and radiantly illustrated by Susanna Chapman, the picture book Dragonflies of Glass celebrates the innovation, determination, and ambition of the brilliant woman artist behind the world-famous Tiffany glass In the mid-nineteenth century, most women who weren’t raising families became teachers or nurses. But Clara Driscoll longed to be an artist, drawing inspiration from nature: from every flower, weed, dragonfly, and even cobweb, on her family’s farm. In 1888, Clara was hired at the renowned Tiffany Glass Company, where Mr. Louis Comfort Tiffany was known for creating gorgeous stained-glass windows for churches, theaters, and libraries. Impressed by her talent at choosing and cutting glass, Mr. Tiffany eventually put Clara in charge of her own staff of 35 women designers. These “Tiffany Girls” sketched intricate patterns, chose dazzling colors and precise shapes, and carefully soldered and placed each piece of glass to create stunning lamps, murals, windows, vases, and clocks. Yet their names weren’t always credited on the finished pieces, and when Clara designed the “Wisteria” lamp that would become Tiffany Studios’ most famous, everyone assumed that Mr. Tiffany had designed it. Today, Clara Driscoll‘s work lives on in museums, galleries, and private collections around the world. Dragonflies of Glass celebrates the innovation, determination, and ambition of the unsung women behind many of Tiffany Studios’ masterpieces. Includes a list of places where Driscoll’s Tiffany art can be found; examples of Driscoll’s Tiffany lamps and archival photographs; endnotes; and a bibliography.

Brought to you by Penguin. Bring order to your home and focus to your busy life. This is the step-by-step method from the social media sensation Tidy Dad.

CATEGORIES Art, Entertainment, Popular Culture, Social Science

SUMMARY
An exclusive look behind the scenes of the Academy Awards as top stars and filmmakers discuss their Oscar wins and tell never-before-told tales of Hollywood's biggest night, in a collection of original interviews with Turner Classic Movies host and entertainment media journalist Dave Karger. For almost a century, movie fans have been riveted by the Academy Awards and the stars who have won Oscars. 50 Oscar Nights takes listeners behind the scenes of Hollywood’s most storied awards show through new and exclusive interviews with dozens of A-list actors, filmmakers, and craftspeople spanning sixty years of the Oscars. Here these artists reflect on their winning work and recount all the details of how they got ready, how they felt when they heard their name and got up on stage to accept their award, what they wore, how the entire experience impacted their life, and more. Some interviews bring to light fun stories like why Hilary Swank decided to celebrate her Academy Award at the Astro Burger in West Hollywood, or insight into the work as Elton John explains why he was convinced he won his Best Original Song award for the wrong tune. Other interviews illuminate why for some honorees, such as Julia Roberts, John Legend, and Octavia Spencer, the day remains a life highlight to be treasured, while for Marlee Matlin, Mira Sorvino, and Barry Jenkins, complex emotions cloud what most think would be a purely celebratory moment. Filled with more than 150 photos of red-carpet moments, emotional acceptances, and after-party play, 50 Oscar Nights is both a stunning record of cinema glamour and a must-read for any movie lover. Full list of interviewees: Nicole Kidman, Elton John, Jennifer Hudson, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Barry Jenkins, Halle Berry, J. K. Simmons, Julia Roberts, John Legend, Rita Moreno, Martin Scorsese, Marlee Matlin, Dustin Hoffman, Hannah Beachler, Cameron Crowe, Mira Sorvino, Kevin O’Connell, Sally Field, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Eddie Redmayne, Lee Grant, Louis Gossett Jr., Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, Jessica Yu, Michael Douglas, Catherine Martin, Francis Ford Coppola, Allison Janney, Mel Brooks, Emma Thompson, Peter Jackson, Marcia Gay Harden, Mark Bridges, Sofia Coppola, Joel Grey, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Olivia Colman, Rob Epstein, Whoopi Goldberg, Alan Menken, Melissa Etheridge, Sissy Spacek, Keith Carradine, Estelle Parsons, Geoffrey Fletcher, Octavia Spencer, Aaron Sorkin, Meryl Streep

PUBLISHER Penguin Audio
CATEGORIES African American, America, Art, Black People, History, Tourism, United States of America

SUMMARY
“An awe-striking masterpiece of love.”—Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling author “The sentences alone in In Open Contempt make it one of the most memorable books of the decade. But it’s the unexpected lingering and genius crafting of consequential action that makes this one of the freshest explorations of space I’ve ever read. Irvin Weathersby Jr. has made something we’ve never before seen, felt, or witnessed.”—Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American Memoir A stirring journey into the soul of a fractured America that confronts the enduring specter of white supremacy in our art, monuments, and public spaces, from a captivating new literary voice. Amid the ongoing reckoning over America’s history of anti-Black racism, scores of monuments to slaveowners and Confederate soldiers still proudly dot the country’s landscape, while schools and street signs continue to bear the names of segregationists. With poignant, lyrical prose, cultural commentator Irvin Weathersby confronts the inescapable specter of white supremacy in our open spaces and contemplates what it means to bear witness to sites of lasting racial trauma. Weathersby takes us from the streets of his childhood in New Orleans’s Lower Ninth Ward to the Whitney Plantation; from the graffitied pedestals of Confederate statues lining Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, to the location of a racist terror attack in Charlottesville; from the site of the Wounded Knee massacre in South Dakota to a Kara Walker art installation at a former sugar factory in Brooklyn, New York. Along the way, he challenges the creation myths embedded in America’s landmarks and meets artists, curators, and city planners doing the same. Urgent and unflinchingly intimate, In Open Contempt offers a hopeful reimagining of the spaces we share in order to honor our nation’s true history, encouraging us to make room for love as a way to heal and treat each other more humanely.

SUBTITLE Nikida's Mudo-Kan Waza-Ryu Martial Arts
AUTHOR Antonio N. Sherman
NARRATOR Tiffany Suzuki
LANGUAGE English
RELEASE DATE 12-20-2024
PUBLISHER Antonio N Sherman
CATEGORIES Martial Art

SUMMARY
"Take 5 Self-Defense Concepts" delves into two profound perspectives. Firstly, Dr. Antonio N. Sherman, a dedicated, certified, and world-class martial artist, has devoted his entire life to self-defense. This book stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication and passion. Secondly, it is imperative to understand that you, not others, define success. Never let someone else dictate or measure your success. Dr. Nikida Sherman, a seasoned fighter and teacher, has gained profound insights from studying martial arts domestically and internationally. In his words, I learned not to be confined to any set fighting style or art form. Such confinement only imposes limitations and restricts freedom. Your attacker or threat does not follow a set pattern in the real world. What you have learned or perfected becomes ineffective if it is based on fixed movements or techniques. "Survival is not solely for the fittest, but for those who are prepared". Sherman, with a Doctorate in Martial Science and Philosophy, has found this to be an undeniable truth. He consistently emphasizes that "deniability does not make reality". As a trained executive protection specialist, being effective in close-quarter combat cannot be second-guessed. It is not the car that wins the race, but the driver's skill. "Take 5 Self-Defense Concepts" is not just a guide for martial artists; it is a universal manual for overcoming adversity and achieving success. Grandmaster Sherman’s journey and insights will inspire and empower you to rise above challenges like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

CATEGORIES Art

SUMMARY
This Audiobook explores over 100 tattoo meanings, helping you discover the stories behind popular designs and those you might not have considered before. Whether you're thinking about getting your first tattoo or adding to your existing collection, this Audiobook aims to provide insight into the wide range of symbols available. Choosing a tattoo is a meaningful endeavour. It's more than just selecting an image—it's about connecting with what that image represents. As you listen to the book, take the time to reflect on what each symbol could mean for you. A tattoo is, after all, a permanent commitment to a part of yourself. In this sense, the meaning behind the design can be just as important as its aesthetic. Whether you're drawn to the powerful symbolism of a lion, the intricate beauty of a geometric pattern, or the captivating meaning of a single word, the goal is the same: to make sure your tattoo reflects who you are, where you've been, and where you want to go. Through this discovery of understanding tattoo meanings, we hope you find inspiration and clarity in selecting the right design that connects with your story. You may find that a particular meaning resonates with you immediately, or perhaps something you've never considered will spark an idea that feels just right. We hope that by the end of this Audiobook, you will feel empowered to make choices that honour your individuality and tell your story in the most meaningful way possible.

PUBLISHER Joseph Rodriguez
CATEGORIES Martial Art

SUMMARY
The Triad of Martial Mastery: Balancing Mind, Body, and Spirit explores the holistic journey of martial arts, focusing not just on physical skill, but on the integration of mental discipline and spiritual growth. This book is an invitation to transcend traditional views of martial arts and embrace a path that leads to deeper mastery—not only of technique but of the self. Drawing from decades of personal experience as a martial artist, coach, and philosopher, the author illustrates how the true essence of martial arts lies in the balance of three fundamental pillars: the body, mind, and spirit. Each chapter delves into these pillars individually, offering practical advice, real-world anecdotes, and specific training techniques designed to help readers cultivate strength, clarity, and resilience. The book starts with a focus on the physical body, teaching practitioners how to control themselves and others through body mechanics and self-awareness. It then moves into the mental realm, showing how mastering thought and emotion can sharpen one’s ability to focus, react, and persevere. Finally, the spiritual aspect is explored, revealing how purpose, humility, and resilience fuel the practitioner’s journey. The Triad of Martial Mastery is not just about martial arts in the dojo, but about how the lessons learned through training apply to life’s greatest challenges. With a blend of philosophy, psychology, and practical martial wisdom, this book provides a guide for anyone seeking to develop themselves holistically, both as a fighter and as a person. Whether you are a beginner looking to build a strong foundation, or an advanced practitioner searching for a deeper understanding of your path, this book will inspire you to align your body, mind, and spirit, and find balance in both combat and life.

RELEASE DATE 12-03-2024
PUBLISHER Brilliance Audio
CATEGORIES Martial Art, Sport History

SUMMARY
Named one of the "40 Best Books of 2016" by The New York Post "Inoki can use his bare fists. He can use karate. This is serious. There's $10 million involved. I wouldn't pull a fraud on the public. This is real. There's no plan. The blood. The holds. The pain. Everything is going to be real. I'm not here in this time of my life to come out with some phony action. I want you to know this is real." —Muhammad Ali, June 14, 1976, The Tonight Show On June 26, 1976, Muhammad Ali fought in a mixed-rules contest against iconic pro wrestling champion Antonio Inoki for the so-called "martial arts championship of the world." Broadcast from Tokyo to a potential audience of 1.4 billion in 34 countries, the spectacle foreshadowed and, in many ways, led to the rise of mixed martial arts as a major sport. The unique contest was controversial and panned by wrestling and boxing supporters alike, but the real action was behind the scenes. Egos, competing interests, and a general sense of apprehension over what would happen in the ring led to hodgepodge rules thrown together at the last minute. Bizarre plans to "save" Ali if the fight got out of hand were even concocted. In Ali vs. Inoki, author Josh Gross gets inside Ali's head leading up to the match by resurrecting pre-fight interviews. Gross also introduces us to Inoki, the most famous face in Japan who was instrumental in shaping modern mixed martial arts.

Relative to other hobbies, Dungeons & Dragons and similar tabletop role-playing games require more social engagement, more meaningful choices from infinite possibilities, more in-depth use of the imagination to pretend to be someone you’re not, and more cooperation. The Psychology of Dungeons & Dragons, is relevant to players, game masters, and even game designers. It applies decades of established and cutting-edge research to help listeners understand how playing the game drives behaviors, shapes play, impacts relationships, and changes players once they put away the dice. Every chapter concludes with specific, practical tips and takeaways for players and game masters to use not only in their games of Dungeons & Dragons but also in any other tabletop role-playing game. Jamie Madigan is a psychology Ph.D. who has been playing and thinking about Dungeons & Dragons since the 1980s. In this book, he will answer questions like: What is it about playing Dungeons & Dragons that uniquely appeals to our basic psychological needs? What kinds of mental skills are needed to engage in role-playing where players take on the perspective of fictional characters? Is playing Dungeons & Dragons online as satisfying and beneficial as playing it in person? What social psychology dynamics are involved when players must cooperate, co-create, and work as a team? How can playing the game help us escape the stress of everyday life and develop useful skills? How are therapists and other mental health experts using role-playing games to help and heal?

SUMMARY
Take a trip back to your favorite video store with this in-depth journey through the highs and lows of 80s cinema—with profiles of hundreds of films—and how Hollywood studios around the globe reflected a period of cultural change. The movies were flying blind in 1980. “New Hollywood” was over and the era of auteur-driven, personal films that had defined moviemaking since the late ‘60s came to a symbolic end with Heaven’s Gate (1980), replaced by a new world of multiplex blockbusters supported by massive marketing campaigns. But beyond the high-school comedies and hardbody action films came a new wave of cinematic excitement—an era defined by Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Purple Rain, When Harry Met Sally, E.T., and Top Gun, each of which are now classics for a new generation of nostalgic movie lovers. The decade saw works that uniquely captured an era of cultural and technological change, from new indie auteurs to the highs and lows of animation, an emergent LGBTQ+ cinema, the last days of the Cold War, and the explosive impact of MTV. With wit and authority, author John Malahy provides fresh insight about the films, filmmakers, and stars who illuminated each of the exciting new facets of Hollywood throughout the decade. Rewinding the ’80s is a lively, intelligent, and immersive look at an indelible moment in modern history.

RELEASE DATE 11-12-2024
PUBLISHER Recorded Books
CATEGORIES Art, Biography, LGBTQ+, Visual Artist

SUMMARY
Growing up in Seale, Alabama as a Black Queer kid, then attending the Rhode Island School of Design as an undergraduate, Jon Key hungered to see himself in the fields of Art and Design. But in lectures, critiques, and in the books he read, he struggled to see and learn about people who intersected with his identity or who GOT him. So he started asking himself questions: What did it mean to be a graphic designer with his point of view? What did it mean to be a Black graphic designer? A Queer graphic designer? Someone from the South? Could his identity be communicated through a poster or a book? How could identity be archived in a design canon that has consistently erased contributions by designers who were not white, straight, and male? In Black, Queer, & Untold, acclaimed designer and artist Jon Key answers these questions and manifests the book he and so many others wish they had when they were coming up. He pays tribute to the incredible designers, artists, and people who came before and provides them an enduring, reverential stage – and in so doing, gifts us a book that takes its place among the creative arts canon.
