Will Britain Make it?

The Rise, Fall and Future of British Industry

An in-depth biography that closely examines the superstar's multi-faceted career, personal life, advocacy, and legacy. Olivia Newton-John was one of the biggest and most iconic global pop stars in history with estimated record sales of over 100 million and starring roles in several films, including Grease and Xanadu. Her hit "Physical" was ranked by Billboard as the most popular single of the 1980s. Behind all of this glitz and glamor was an extremely strong, kind, and resilient person with an unfailing, positive attitude in the face of personal tragedies and setbacks. For decades, she bravely and publicly battled breast cancer while continuing her career and advocated for environmental issues, animal rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. This biography, based on extensive archival research and original interviews with many of her friends and associates, reveals the real person who was Olivia Newton-John. Matthew Hild provides many never-before-shared insights into the star's life, including her humanitarianism and personal struggles, and dives deeply into her many famous records and lesser-known work, from her early start in Australia all the way to her last recording - a moving duet of "Jolene" with Dolly Parton.

Sweet Sorrow

"A mesmerizing tale of glamour, secrets, and reinvention, I absolutely loved it." —Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong MoyIn 1969, twenty-three-year-old starlet Lori Lovely shocks the world by ditching a promising film career to take vows as a Benedictine nun. The media can’t get enough of the story. Why would such a beautiful girl take the veil? Did it have anything to do with her costar, heartthrob singer Lucas Wesley? In 1990, history student Lu Tibbott decides to dig into a true twentieth-century mystery for her senior thesis and write about her aunt Lori, now the Mother Abbess at a cloistered convent in rural New England. For decades Mother Lori has refused all requests for interviews—until Lu arrives with a tape recorder in hand. To Lu’s delight, Mother Lori is finally ready to talk...but only if Lu is truly ready to listen. Lu is shocked by the story of Lori Lovely’s tumultuous years in Hollywood, a fairy tale twisting with ambition, unforeseen alliances, and forbidden love. What began as a history thesis now threatens to upend all their lives with its unexpected truths, especially as the media gets wind of Lu’s project and begins to ask… Whatever happened to Lori Lovely?

Whatever Happened to Lori Lovely?

“By the end of this feverishly-composed rock 'n' roll masterpiece, you'll be on your feet shouting for an encore.” —Layne Fargo, bestselling author of The Favorites The new novel from the bestselling author of If We Were Villains and Graveyard Shift—a vivid and immersive tale of one woman’s reckless mission to make sense of the events that shattered her childhood and made her who she is. Summer, 1989: ten-year-old Suzanne is drawn like a magnet to her father’s forbidden world of electric guitars and tricked-out cars. When her mother remarries, she jumps at the chance to tag along on the concert tour that just might be Gil and the Kills’ wild ride to glory. But fame has sharper fangs than anybody realized, and as the band blazes up the charts, internal power struggles set Gil and his group on a collision course destined for a bloody reckoning—one shrouded in mystery and lore for decades to come. The only witness to a desperate act of violence, Suzanne spends the next twenty-nine years trying to disappear. She trades the music and mayhem of her youth for the quiet of the suburbs and the company of her mild-mannered husband Rob. But when her father’s sudden death resurrects the troubled past she tried so hard to bury, she leaves it all behind and hits the road in search of answers. Hitching her fate and Gil’s beloved car to two vagabonds who call an old Airstream trailer home, she finds everything she thought she’d lost forever: desire, adventure, and the woman she once wanted to be. But Rob refuses to let her go. Determined to bring her back where she belongs, he chases her across the country—and drives her to a desperation all her own. Drenched in knock-down drag-out rock and roll, Hot Wax is a raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back—where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.

'Sun-drenched ... charming' Guardian 'Intriguing' The Financial Times 'Deeply moving' The Spectator 'Clever ... entertaining' The Times 'A strange and wonderful book ... brilliantly digressive' LA Times 'Excellent' The Literary Review 'Truly illuminating' Edmund de Waal 'Evokes an all-but-lost universe' Sir Norman Rosenthal From James Cahill, author of the much-acclaimed Tiepolo Blue and The Violet Hour, comes a panoramic portrait of 1960s LA and Californian culture, seen through the eyes of a young David Hockney and the enigmatic socialite Betty Freeman. In the summer of 1966, David Hockney paid a visit to a wealthy Los Angeles art collector. Her name was Betty Freeman. He had intended to paint her swimming pool, but was rapidly entranced by Freeman herself. Hockney, soon to embark on a series of Los Angeles paintings that would become icons of their time and place, immortalized Freeman in Beverly Hills Housewife (1966-67), a sunlit vision of the collector on the terrace of her modernist home. Evoking the light and easy glamour of 1960s Los Angeles, the painting is one of the artist's most seductive works, but it has always carried an air of mystery. Who was the woman in pink? Like Hockney driving through the Hollywood Hills, James Cahill meanders - interweaving the artist's discovery of Los Angeles with Freeman's own evolution from aspiring pianist to photographer, philanthropist and collector - but never loses focus on the art. Oscillating between art history and anecdote, this is an eclectic study of an artist, his enigmatic muse and the beginning of a friendship that would shape the course of each of their lives.

Architektinnen der Ostschweiz
 präsentiert historische und zeitgenössische weibliche Vorbilder und bringt Dynamik in den feministischen Architekturdiskurs. Das Buch versammelt beachtenswerte Bauten seit 1900: pionierhafte Atelierhäuser von Hedwig Scherrer im St. Galler Rheintal (1906/07) und von Sophie Taeuber-Arp ausserhalb von Paris (1927/28), eine postmoderne Garage mit Sportcenter (1988) in St. Gallen von Vreny Gross oder das Weiterbauen des Ortes Herisau durch Eva Keller seit den 1990er-Jahren.
 
 Nina Keel stellt Teamarbeit und Solidarität über Stars und beleuchtet den Wandel struktureller Arbeitsbedingungen. Die Kapitel zu prägenden Architektinnen und ihren Projekten geben Antworten auf Fragen wie: Was inspiriert sie und welche Bauaufgaben sind ihnen wichtig? Wie organisieren sie ihre Büros? Welche (informellen) Netzwerke gab und gibt es? In einem ausführlichen Gespräch äussern sich die Architektinnen Astrid Staufer und Kathrin Gimmel zu Entwurfsinstrumenten, zur Zusammenarbeit in ihren Architekturbüros und zur Wichtigkeit von baulichen Wagnissen. In für das Buch geschaffenen Bildstrecken zeigt die Künstlerin Jiajia Zhang fünf Architektinnen in ihren eigenen Bauten, während Nina Keel auf Spaziergängen durch St. Gallen Gebäude von Eva Lanter (BATIMENTS), Corinna Menn oder Trix Haussmann-Högl fotografierte.

"Dominic clearly remembers more about the 90s than I do." - Zoe BallI was in the right place at exactly the right time.I was handed a precious backstage pass to this magical period, as a chronicler of some of its most significant moments, of its wild protagonists, whether in music, entertainment, fashion, football, art or politics.I had a front-row seat for that insane decade, but it was 1996 that was the period's stunning apex. Oasis at Maine Road and Knebworth, the births of Robbie Williams the solo star and the Spice Girls, the Euro 96 football tournament and 'Three Lions', the rise of New Labour and Tony Blair.I was there for the lot.1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves.The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram.Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star - and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth.Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn't watching the party from afar - he was in the room.Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro '96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse.Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain - and created legends along the way.Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again?If you were there - this book will feel like going home.If you weren't - you'll wish you had been.

My Backstage Pass to the Wildest Year of Britain’s Wildest Decade

And the second? That comes when Audrey's parents go out of town, sparking a high-risk, high-reward solution to pay for her fellowship-renting out her family's Connecticut mansion online. With the help of her new fake-boyfriend, it shouldn't be hard to pull off... right?But when her best intentions start to unravel, Audrey will have to reckon with who she is, what she wants, and what it really means to play life by her rules-all with her heart on the line.
