How Four Women Challenged the Musical World

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Lady First

In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the 1950s in its values and beliefs around nature, race, gender, sexuality, science and the environment. These changes amount to nothing less than the dismantling of an old civilization and the building of a new one. But because the changes have been slow and diverse, their scale and impact are seldom recognized.

At the heart of this rising world view is the idea of interconnection, with its understanding
of the interdependence and symbiotic relationships within nature and among humans - and the current nationalist and authoritarian pushback is a backhanded acknowledgment of its power and impact.

The Beginning Comes After the End is the culmination of years of activism from one of the most significant thinkers of our day. It offers a unique perspective on our politics and our humanity, to give hope in difficult times and to urgently remind us that the power to change the world is within our reach.

Notes on a World of Change

The Beginning Comes After the End

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God

Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series

This book explores gender justice, power relations and social transformation in India by providing an ethnographic, socio-legal view of Nari Adalats (women's courts) and the family disputes that take place before them, in rural northern Karnataka, South India.The book offers an ethnography of the everyday workings of Nari Adalats based on qualitative interviews, document analysis and participant observation in a variety of settings where family law and gender justice are negotiated. The book argues that it is essential to examine societal legal forums and the social dynamics within the family (and its social environment) to better understand how changes in gender and power relations can occur. Chapters analyse five cases of Hindu, Muslim and tribal women pursuing claims, and seven further cases of lower-caste Hindu women who became judges of the Nari Adalat (one of them a jury member); taken together, they provide rich insights into how successful legal outcomes are achieved, and the structural conditions inherent in this space. Ultimately, the book highlights how Nari Adalats are fundamentally women-centred spaces that challenge gender hierarchies, feminize the public sphere, and reconceptualise gender and ethnic relations in rural India.Providing an exploration of caste, class and religion in the wider context of gender justice, the volume will appeal to scholars and postgraduates in the fields of socio-legal studies, in particular gender and justice issues, gender studies, South Asian studies and legal anthropology.

Connecting Trains

Independently published

Every story begins long before the first word is written. In The Story Behind My Stories: Connecting Trains, Helen Taylor takes readers behind the scenes of her second DI Matthew Goodwin novel to uncover the real commutes, workplaces and team dynamics that shaped this grounded British police procedural.Before Connecting Trains became a story about building a Major Investigation Team, hidden pressures and the quiet tensions beneath everyday life, it was Helen's lived experience: years spent travelling the Surrey train lines, moving between the towns in the book and building a career across multiple IT roles that demanded focus, resilience and an understanding of how people work together.... or not.Through personal reflections, career milestones and insights drawn from her own CV, Helen explores how each job, each team and each commute contributed to her understanding of leadership, conflict, loyalty and the subtle human behaviours that define a procedural. From early university days in Guildford to high-pressure roles in the city, she reveals how the rhythm of commuting and the reality of workplace culture became the backbone of the novel.Part memoir, part career journey, part creative exploration, this book uncovers: <ul><li>The real train lines, stations and routes that inspired the structure of Connecting Trains</li><li>How years of working in IT shaped Helen's understanding of team dynamics</li><li>The roles, responsibilities and training that built her focus, discipline and perseverance</li><li>How everyday commutes became moments of observation, reflection and story-building</li><li>Why authentic workplace experience brings procedural fiction to life</li></ul>Whether you're a fan of the DI Matthew Goodwin series, fascinated by workplace stories or curious about how real life becomes fiction, this companion book offers an honest, relatable and insightful look at the story behind the story.Because sometimes the most compelling police procedurals begin on an ordinary train platform.

A Psychological Exploration of Women and Gender

Women's Lives

The untold history of the extraordinary women who drove the modern dance movement and changed cultural narratives about sex, power and women's rights. The story of modern dance is a story of subversion - of forms challenged and hierarchies toppled in the pursuit of blazing artistic integrity. In Wild Grace, Sara Veale profiles nine of the pioneering women at the heart of this movement, from Isadora Duncan and Loie Fuller's fearless rejection of nineteenth-century paternalism to Katherine Dunham and Pearl Primus's battles to recentre marginalised histories in the wake of the Second World War. Each of these dancers redefined the meaning of grace in their art and their lifestyle, conveying vital truths about what it means to walk the world as a woman. Veale brings to life the stories and artistry of these remarkable individuals and reveals how, in their refusal to conform, we can find urgent lessons for today.

Over the course of the last 180 years, designers have transformed fashion from an elite craft into a cornerstone of global popular culture.

The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock's Wildest Festival

Lollapalooza

This is the story of the game-changing collaboration between director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann, who channelled their inner fears and desires into films that would become the nightmarish narratives and soundtracks of our lives.

The 11-year collaboration between Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann is often called the greatest director-composer partnership in cinema history. Their eight films together include such classic thrillers as Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds. In Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores that Changed Cinema, Steven C. Smith delivers an intimate account of how the reserved, but deeply anxious, Hitchcock found his ideal creative partner in the cantankerous, but deeply romantic, Herrmann. Smith draws on four decades of research, including previously unpublished documents and new interviews, to deliver a riveting account of what made the teaming of "Benny and Hitch" so memorable and influential -- and why it came to a bitter end.
 
Their story involves the tumultuous changes in Hollywood from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, as the collapsing studio system gave way to independent, counterculture filmmaking. It also involves the key figures in Hitchcock and Herrmann's inner circle including the director's gifted wife and most valued critic, Alma Reville; Herrmann's beautiful, put-upon spouse, Lucy Anderson; and talent agent-turned-studio mogul Lew Wasserman. Wasserman's negotiations made Hitchcock's greatest filmmaking period possible, but over time Lew's commercial instincts as head of Universal Studios clashed with Herrmann's pure artistic vision.

Hitchcock and Herrmann is both a deeply researched historical study and a fast-moving, cinematic narrative -- one that puts readers on the film sets and scoring stages of Hitchcock masterworks. Their collaboration ended in a bitter break; but today Herrmann's pulse-quickening music has become the soundtrack of our own anxious times. The music from their movies is more popular than ever, heard in Quentin Tarantino blockbusters and Lady Gaga music videos. In Smith's expert telling, readers get an an intimate look at two legendary creators who, despite seemingly opposite personalities, found in each other artistic completion.
