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

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.
