English philosopher and politician JOHN STUART MILL (1806-1873) was one of the foremost figure of Western intellectual thought in the late 19th century. His influential essays-including Principles of Political Economy (1848), Considerations on Representative Government (1861), and The Subjection of Women (1869)-are among some of the most considered writings of the period, and helped shaped the British nation for a century and more. In this 1873 autobiography, Mill tells his own story, and how it is inextricably connected to that of his father, Scottish philosopher James Mill, who educated his precocious son on his own. Mill reveals: . his childhood and early education . the moral influences of his early youth . his father's character and opinions. . his later self-education . his youthful propagandism . his work at The Westminster Review, a publication of philosophical radicalism . a crisis in his mental history . and much more.

Thrash Metal. At first mocked by the Rock traditionalists Thrash would swamp the hard n' heavy world propelling one of it's own - Metallica, to the very pinnacle of Rock's elite. In the early 80s Thrash breathed new life into the Rock scene providing older acts with a much needed kick. This new force opened the floodgates to armies of teens armed with flying Vs, bullet belts and a sense of purpose that would fuel genres such as Thrashcore, Crossover and technical Speed Metal. Without Thrash there would be no Death Metal, no Black Metal. That explosion of aggression has seen subsequent afterblasts, most recently Europe and South America has seen a genuine renaissance of Thrash Metal. Without doubt, Thrash Metal still continues to make its mark in the biggest possible way. The 'big four' - Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer are all documented here in the greatest possible detail with full, up to the minute histories, exclusive photographs and global discographies, which include demos, albums, singles, chart positions, track listings and catalogue numbers. Over 400,000 words leave no stone left unturned in pursuit of knowledge of ex-members, rare recordings and career milestones. The author has interviewed all these major acts. Indeed, he interviewed Metallica's late Cliff Burton just days before his passing. The early days of Megadeth are straight from the mouth of Dave Mustaine. Also covered are the legion of groundbreaking Bay Area acts such as Metal Church, Testament, Exodus, Death Angel and Hirax. The European Thrash explosion of Kreator, Rage, Destruction, Sodom, Grave Digger and Helloween is also covered in frightening detail. The Pagan Thrash of Sabbat, the avant garde eccentricity of Celtic Frost and the Funk Thrash of Morded - it's all here. The second wave of Thrash with major artists such as Sepultura, Pantera and Machine Head takes the genre right up to the new breed of Thrashers, now a truly world-wide phenomomen. All examined in depth. Having achieved its quarter of a century, Thrash Metal is not only alive, it is thriving. If you thought this rawest form of Heavy Metal was consigned to the past this book will deliver a rude awakening Read the book, buy the records and bang that head

Out of the Shadows (Paperback): Piri Piroska Bodnar Out of the Shadows (Paperback)
Piri Piroska Bodnar
R439 Discovery Miles 4 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Out of the Shadows: The Legacy of Two Holocaust Survivors are two books in a single binder-a compelling dual memoir by Piri Piroska Mendelovitz Bodnar (Shadows) and Zoltan Bodnar, who met and fell in love in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany following World War II. In 1944, before that glorious spring of 1945 when the future held renewal, they were teenage apprentices, Zoltan to a barber and Piri to a furrier in Miskolc, Hungary. In that year, the Nazis invaded their country forcing its Jews into ghettos, labor brigades and death camps. Despite forced labor, near starvation and transports from labor camps to death camps, each was determined to survive, even when they were certain that survival was not possible. Zoltan with his brother and Piri with her sister, strove to live for each other or die together in the surreal world in which they were entrapped. We have in these two memoirs arresting tales of loving families, riveting episodes of unprecedented cruelty, daring escape, and death-defying acts in order to sustain life. In Zoltan's memoir are dream-like sequences in which he returns to his childhood, a means for escape from his ordeal. "Piri's Story" is sprinkle with poetry she has written over the years. Her poems punctuate her ordeal and reveal faith in God, a life of religious devotion and a love of nature. There are terrifying experiences here. But there is also a message of hope and remembrance: of those who perished in the Holocaust, the righteous Christians who risked their lives to aid oppressed Jews, and those people around the globe today who are the victims of intolerance. "We must never forget," the Bodnars tell us. For hate in its extreme can take us to the very abyss of inhumanity.
