Norris R: Strange Things Are Happening /

Strange Things Are Happening

This book is about something special that we all desire - love. And it is also a book about what keeps us apart - the desire to be seen but being unwilling to do what needs to be done to see. This book will change your life. It wull give you all the wings you need to fly again.

His friends called him V. He used to feel intimidated by the fashion world but he got over it. He designed his first Louis Vuitton collection in three hours. He cared more about pageantry than clothes. He wasn’t precious about his ideas. He sometimes made work and added the meaning later. He contradicted himself all the time but he saw no problem with that. Fashion for him was one big art project, and also kind of a joke. He believed in God. He believed in logos. He thought insisting on novelty in fashion was farcical; a critique meant to keep people like him out. Some nights when he couldn’t sleep he wondered how people would remember him once he was gone. Virgil Abloh, who died unexpectedly in 2021 at age 41, defied categorization. Born in Rockford, Illinois to Ghanaian immigrants, he learned to sew as child, studied civil engineering in college and then architecture in graduate school. He entered the world of fashion sideways, without formal training, upsetting the status quo first with the stratospheric success of Off-White and then with his appointment as Artistic Director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. He pierced the divisions between pop culture and couture, fashion, music, and design, and was as influenced by Marcel Duchamp and Mies van der Rohe, Albert Murray, Rammellzee, Drake, DJ Benji B, Kylie Jenner, and Bella Hadid, as by the storied histories of high fashion houses. He was fascinated by the commodification of culture and the dialectic between appropriation and reappropriation, between ‘high’ and ‘low’. He admired the ready-made and the imitative for the way in which they force you to think carefully about the context in which they were created. He felt originality was a sham, and saw clearly the way Fashion, with a capital F, depends on the policing of who is allowed the mantle of ‘genius’. The establishment bridled at his approach even as they celebrated his work. He, in turn, understood that people wanted him to be a symbol, to fit an idea of the Black Designer, but he refused any kind of easy definition. Here, in Work in Progress, is a blueprint for a way to live, a conversation between friends, a challenge to any idea of black and white thinking. A portrait of an iconoclast, WORK IN PROGRESS takes us inside the mind of one of the most visionary and transformational designers of our time.

A Memoir

Three Wild Dogs (and the truth)

"The engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above"--

Daddy Yankee, es un rapero, cantante, compositor, actor e ícono que ha batido récords. En su primer libro, ReaDY, publicado en español e inglés, comparte la historia de su viaje desde Puerto Rico a la fama mundial, su roce con la muerte, la recuperación de su fe y cómo las situaciones que ponen a prueba tus fuerzas, pueden transformar tu vida.

A través de anécdotas íntimas y reflexiones profundas, ReaDY narra el apasionante viaje de resiliencia y fe de Daddy Yankee, al tiempo que imparte lecciones sobre cómo sortear los contratiempos, las dificultades y las pruebas de fortaleza para transformar tu vida.Alterado para siempre por un único acontecimiento, Daddy Yankee ofrece una guía inspiradora para construir la vida con la que sueñas en un libro hilvanado con la historia de su ascenso desde las calles de Puerto Rico hasta el superestrellato internacional.Como embajador del reggaetón, Daddy Yankee ha vendido millones de discos y ha actuado en todo el mundo, fusionando culturas y popularizando un estilo de música que él mismo ayudó a crear. Sin embargo, su camino hacia el éxitocomenzó en el extremo equivocado de un arma, cuando un tiroteo fortuito lo puso cara a cara con la mortalidad y acabó con su sueño de convertirse en jugador profesional de béisbol. Con un hijo en camino y meses de dolorosa recuperación por delante, Ramón tuvo que encontrar un nuevo camino, así que puso sus miras en su otra pasión: la música.En esta colección de lecciones aprendidas en su ya larga carrera de tres décadas, DY comparte las raíces de su firme convicción de que llegaría a ser más que sus compañeros del barrio cuyas vidas habían caído en la delincuencia. ReaDY muestra cómo transformó su historia y anima a sus lectores a hacer lo mismo. Centrándose en el enfrentamiento del miedo, la confianza en la fe, la dedicación a la identidad cultural, la conexión con la familia, el aprendizaje constante y mucho más, este es un libro que utiliza la historia de Daddy Yankee para inspirar y humanizar a una de las mayores estrellas de la música del mundo.&nbsp;ReaDY!Through intimate anecdotes and profound reflections, ReaDY! chronicles Daddy Yankee’s gripping journey of resilience and faith while imparting lessons on navigating setbacks, hardships, and tests of strength to transform your life.Forever altered by a single event, Daddy Yankee offers an inspirational guide to building the life you dream of in a book threaded through with the story of his rise from the streets of Puerto Rico to international superstardom.As the ambassador of Reggaeton, Daddy Yankee has sold millions of albums and performed all over the world, melding cultures and popularizing a style of music that he helped create. His path to success, however, began at the wrong end of a gun, when a random shooting brought him face-to-face with mortality and ended his dream of becoming a professional baseball player. With a child on the way and months of painful recovery ahead of him, Ramon had to find a new path, so he set his sights on his other passion—making music.In this collection of lessons learned in his now three-decade long career, DY shares the roots of his firm belief that he would become more than his peers in the barrio who had fallen into lives of crime. ReaDY shows how he transformed his story—and empowers his readers to do the same. Focusing on facing fear, relying on faith, a dedication to cultural identity, connection to family, constant learning, and more, this is a book that uses Daddy Yankee’s story to inspire, and to humanize one of the biggest music stars in the world.
