Riley T: Remember the Times

Remember the Times

A Memoir

'Passionate and rigorous... riveting' Financial Times '[a] cool-headed but powerful polemic...' Sunday Times 'A thoroughly convincing argument that Spotify's success has had a disastrous effect on pop music...' The Guardian 'A vital addition to the genre... arrives not a moment too soon' The TelegraphTHIS BOOK WILL CHANGE HOW YOU THINK ABOUT, AND CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO, MUSIC Streaming is reshaping music for artists and listeners alike. Until now, the cultural ramifications of these seismic shifts have been underexplored. Drawing on over one hundred interviews with industry insiders, former Spotify employees, and musicians, Mood Machine takes us to the inner workings of today's highly consolidated record business. Building on her years of wide-ranging reporting on streaming, music journalist Liz Pelly details the consequences of the Spotify model by examining both sides of what the company calls its two-sided marketplace: the listeners who pay with their dollars and data, and the musicians who provide the material powering it all. As music has become increasingly playlisted, personalized, and autoplayed, the stakes for artists and listeners alike have never been higher. Mood Machine is an essential read for any music fan seeking a deeper understanding of how we listen now.

Es gilt, einen der einflussreichsten Publizisten und Denker des 19. Jahrhunderts wiederzuentdecken. Diese Biografie widmet sich Leben und Werk des großen Publizisten und Gelehrten Joseph Görres (1776-1848), eines ebenso außergewöhnlichen wie umstrittenen Mannes, der allen Widerständen zum Trotz für seine Ideale von Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit kämpfte. In seinem facettenreichen Leben spiegelt sich die Geschichte Deutschlands zwischen den Revolutionen von 1789 und 1848 wider. Joseph Görres gilt als Vordenker des politischen Katholizismus und als Repräsentant der Heidelberger Romantik. Doch er begann als radikaler Propagandist der Französischen Revolution. Als Stimme Deutschlands gegen Napoleon im von ihm begründeten 'Rheinischen Merkur' wurde er berühmt, seine Kritik am preußischen Beamtenstaat brachte ihn ins Exil. Als Universitätsprofessor in München wurde er zum Vorkämpfer für die Unabhängigkeit der katholischen Kirche in Deutschland gegenüber staatlichen Übergriffen. Seine Kampfschrift "Athanasius" wurde ein Markstein in der Geschichte des deutschen Katholizismus. In vielen Disziplinen war er zu Hause, in den Naturwissenschaften, in der Philosophie, in der Geschichte. Er beschäftigte sich mit mittelalterlichen Handschriften, persischen Epen, mystischen und parapsychologischen Phänomenen, getrieben von rastloser Neugier und Begeisterung. In seinen wissenschaftlichen wie in seinen publizistischen Arbeiten faszinierte er durch eine lebendige bilderreiche und poetische Sprache. Sein Leben lang war er erfüllt von prophetischem Sendungsbewusstsein und kompromisslosem Kampfgeist. Dabei blieb er trotz aller Wandlungen sich selbst stets treu und ging unbeirrt seinen eigenen Weg. Nach ihm wurde die Görres-Gesellschaft zur Pflege der Wissenschaft benannt.

How I Built a Billion-Dollar Beauty Empire One Strand at a Time

Lift, Hold, Shine

A thrilling new biography of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky—composer of some of the world’s most popular orchestral and theatrical music &nbsp; “A lively, argumentative and thoughtful reflection on one of the 19th century’s most important musical figures.”—Michael O’Donnell, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; Tchaikovsky is famous for all the wrong reasons. Portrayed as a hopeless romantic, a suffering melancholic, or a morbid obsessive, the Tchaikovsky we think we know is a shadow of the fascinating reality. It is all too easy to forget that he composed an empire’s worth of music, and navigated the imperial Russian court to great advantage. &nbsp; In this iconoclastic biography, celebrated author Simon Morrison re-creates Tchaikovsky’s complex world. His life and art were framed by Russian national ambition, and his work was the emanation of an imperial subject: kaleidoscopic, capacious, cosmopolitan, decentred. &nbsp; Morrison reexamines the relationship between Tchaikovsky’s music, personal life, and politics; his support of Tsars Alexander II and III; and his engagement with the cultures of the imperial margins, in Ukraine, Poland, and the Caucasus. Tchaikovsky’s Empire unsettles everything we thought we knew—and gives us a vivid new appreciation of Russia’s most popular composer.

A gripping behind-the-scenes story from inside one of the most influential news programs in American history.For almost sixty years, every Sunday night at seven o'clock sharp, America has stopped what it was doing to hear instantly recognizable the tick tock that introduces 60 Minutes. At its peak, this news show was the most powerful hour on television, drawing as many as fifty million viewers a week. Presidents watched. CEOs braced themselves. Ordinary citizens--wronged, ignored, or silenced--found a voice.In Mad as Hell, a producer from the program's golden years takes readers deep inside the broadcast that reshaped television journalism. Working alongside Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, Morley Safer, and executive producer Don Hewitt, Harry Moses tells how a scrappy news experiment morphed into a national institution, and how television at its best could hold the powerful to account.

Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists - they've all confided in her.

Some are harder to shake than others. There's sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex's window and threatened to cut off his... well, you get the picture. Jake, who burned down his grandfather's shed and prized model railway collection. And who could forget Steve, who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn't for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth's professional opinion, Britain's most fastidious murderer.

Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.

And Other Stories From My Life As A Probation Officer

A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning

Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favourite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade long career. In You with the Sad Eyes, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn't see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; sparkling on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonized franchise Anchorman; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS. She'll dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have dogged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her path is ever lit though, by lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know fully. You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, the weight of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius. In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say."

An unflinchingly honest and darkly funny memoir

You with the Sad Eyes

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'A whirlwind of encounters . . . a pioneer in melding art, poetry and science' Art Basel

S.S. Pierce: A Boston Tradition chronicles the history of Samuel Pierce's iconic gourmet food and wine emporium. When Samuel Stillman Pierce opened his store in 1831, he vowed, "I may not make money for the next five years, but I shall make a reputation." Pierce went on to become well known as the purveyor of groceries, fancy goods, wines, and spirits to Bostonians in the nineteenth century, as well as providing provisions to the ships that sailed from Boston Harbor. Bartering with ship captains, he often exchanged his provisions for the delicacies that were brought to Boston from faraway ports. His renowned store catered to the carriage trade, and the company would be headed by four generations of the Pierce family. With its own coat of arms adorning a distinctive red label on canned goods, bearing the motto Puritas et Cura, and the largest line of privately packed fancy foods in the world, S.S. Pierce &amp; Company sold its wide assortment of delicacies at a chain of stores as well as through distributors across the United States and worldwide by mail order. S.S. Pierce &amp; Company was sold in 1967 to Laird Corporation, and in 1972 to Seneca Foods. Since 1986, it has been a part of Kraft Foods Group and M.S. Walker. In his book S.S. Pierce: A Boston Tradition, Anthony M. Sammarco recounts memories of the past and the shared tradition of how Bostonians reveled in the gourmet foods, fine wines, and Madeira of a once stalwart business.

Jeder kann alles schaffen, wenn er sich nur anstrengt? Schön wär's.&nbsp;Ramona Wuttig zeigt eindrücklich: Sozialer Aufstieg gelingt in Deutschland oft trotz - und nicht wegen - der bestehenden Strukturen. Ihre eigene Geschichte beginnt im ländlichen Thüringen in extremer Armut. Ohne fließendes Warmwasser, geprägt von Arbeitslosigkeit und gesellschaftlicher Ausgrenzung, schien ihr Weg vorgezeichnet. Doch Wuttig holte das Abitur nach, absolvierte drei Studiengänge und streitet heute als Expertin für Chancengerechtigkeit und eine reflektierte Ost-Identität.Offen erzählt sie von der Scham, die das Aufwachsen in prekären Verhältnissen begleitet, und entlarvt das Versprechen der Chancengleichheit als Illusion. Sie legt dar, wie systemische Barrieren Lebenswege bestimmen und warum Erfolg oft gegen alle Widerstände errungen werden muss. Die enge Verknüpfung ihrer bewegenden Biografie mit soziologischer Analyse macht dieses Buch zu einer unverzichtbaren Lektüre.
