’You never knew what you were going to be confronted with when
you went on Later…’ Nick Cave ‘Later… is a voyage of
discovery for us as well as the viewers’ Dave Grohl Dave Grohl
and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran’s life
was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified
but inspired, and they all kept coming back. This first-hand
account of the BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland takes you behind
the scenes of one of the world’s great musical meeting places.
Legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and David Bowie
found a regular welcome, alongside the next generation of
superstars including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Amy Winehouse. Part of
what has made the show so special is the format – all those
bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as
well as to perform in Jools’ circle of dreams. But there’s
always been plenty of mayhem alongside the magic of convening a
room full of musicians hosted by one of their own. Written by the
show’s co-creator and 26-year showrunner, music journalist Mark
Cooper, this is the story of how Later… grew into a musical and
TV institution. It was Mark who had to explain to Jay-Z why he
couldn’t just do his numbers and split, who told Seasick Steve
why he had to play ‘Dog House Boogie’ on the Hootenanny and
persuaded Johnny Cash that he simply had to come in, even when The
Man in Black wasn’t feeling well. From Stormzy to Björk, from
Smokey Robinson to Norah Jones, from Britpop to trip hop, here is
the word on how Later… began, evolved and has endured,
accompanied by exclusive interviews with some of the show’s
regular stars as well as the unique pictorial record of Andre
Csillag who photographed the show for over 20 years. A must-read
for music fans everywhere, Later… with Jools Hollandpulls back
the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just
as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined.

The assassination of Sadat brings to an end another era in Egyptian
history. This book examines the crucial issues in the
transformation of Egypt in the period between the death of Nasser
and the murder of Sadat. Focusing on the upheavals in the Egyptian
political and economic structure over the last twenty years, the
book explains the change in Egypt's international orientation
through a careful examination of domestic factors. The switch from
Nasser's state socialist-political economy to Sadat's more
laissez-faire approach and the institutional and structural links
between the two are analysed as the key to understanding the
dynamic developments within Egypt. The book argues that the
propagation of a new political economy was the primary basis of
Sadat's ability to remain in power, while the weaknesses in that
economy drove Sadat to seek external solutions and ultimately
undermined his domestic support. His conduct of the 1973 war, his
trip to Jerusalem, his enthusiasm for the United States and his
whole perception of Middle Eastern affairs must be seen in terms of
his domestic policies and internal troubles. First published 1982.

Plant Adaptation and Crop Improvement focuses on the opportunities
for increasing the efficiency of crop improvement by understanding
the basis of variation for plant adaptation in agricultural
production systems. Crop improvement strategies based on
combinations of the statistical modelling methodologies used by
plant breeders and the crop modelling methodologies used by crop
physiologists/agronomists are developed and discussed. The book
captures much of the experience of scientists from around the world
who have worked on the challenging problem of achieving crop
improvement in variable crop production systems. It represents a
major synthesis for workers in plant breeding, crop physiology and
agronomy.

Today, we are so accustomed to consuming the amplified lives of
film stars that the origins of the phenomenon may seem inevitable
in retrospect. But the conjunction of the terms "movie" and "star"
was inconceivable prior to the 1910s. "Flickers of Desire" explores
the emergence of this mass cultural phenomenon, asking how and why
a cinema that did not even run screen credits developed so quickly
into a venue in which performers became the American film
industry's most lucrative mode of product individuation.
Contributors chart the rise of American cinema's first galaxy of
stars through a variety of archival sources--newspaper columns,
popular journals, fan magazines, cartoons, dolls, postcards,
scrapbooks, personal letters, limericks, and dances. The iconic
status of Charlie Chaplin's little tramp, Mary Pickford's golden
curls, Pearl White's daring stunts, or Sessue Hayakawa's
expressionless mask reflect the wild diversity of a public's
desired ideals, while Theda Bara's seductive turn as the embodiment
of feminine evil, George Beban's performance as a sympathetic
Italian immigrant, or G. M. Anderson's creation of the heroic
cowboy/outlaw character transformed the fantasies that shaped
American filmmaking and its vital role in society.
