Champions Under Lockdown is the third book in the Red Odyssey
series. It tells the story of an extraordinary season from the
perspective of the terraces. After their epic 2018/19 season, in
2019/20 Jurgen Klopp would target Liverpool's first league title in
30 years. During this unforgettable season his side would smash all
records. They claimed the UEFA Super Cup and then the Club World
Cup before sailing to a 25-point lead at the top of the Premier
League. Fans who thought they had seen it all witnessed arguably
the greatest Reds side in history sweep all before them. They were
declared champions-elect, but the fates decreed there would be a
final barrier to Liverpool claiming their prize. In the midst of a
global virus pandemic and with the country on lockdown, voices
called for the season to be declared null and void, threatening to
wipe the achievements of this incredible team from history. But
Jurgen and his men rose again to claim their holy grail. This is
the unique story of the champions under lockdown.
The Untouchables: Anfield's Band of Brothers chronicles the rise
and fall of one of the greatest Liverpool teams ever. In 1918 an
enlisted man, Tom Bromilow, stepped off the streets of Liverpool
and straight into the team. Still in uniform, he was one of tens of
thousands of Liverpudlians who fought in World War One. His signing
completed a jigsaw that eventually revealed an image of footballing
perfection, a team so great they were called 'The Untouchables'.
The book brings to life a host of incredible characters, uncovers
friendships and rivalries and reveals amazing backstories. Meet men
like Bootle-born Walter Wadsworth, tough-talking Irishman Elisha
Scott, champion boxer Jock McNab and many other fascinating
figures. The Untouchables reveals previously unknown detail and
sheds new light on old controversies, including the real reason
behind the departure of the club's manager, Dave Ashworth.
Meticulously researched and lovingly told, the book breathes new
life into a fascinating and long-forgotten story.

world's first superstar golfer and greatest of his time. He was

little about him. At 19 he won the U.S. National Open and did it

arguably the most talented golfer in the history of the game,
gaining prominence from the 1930s to 1950s. He was the first golfer
in history to be blackballed by the PGA Tour for being too good.
The greatest players came to him for instruction, including Ben
Hogan. This golf pro threw away a U.S. Open Championship after she
finished the tournament with the winning score. Read the story of
her innocent mistake and what she could have done to reclaim her
title.

Boys'. With Tommy Smith and Chris Lawler already at the club, he

Scott - 'the lost Shankly Boy'. Scott provides a fascinating

Updated paperback version features a new chapter of never seen
photos plus a new interview with Henry Rollins. TOTAL CHAOS:
The Story of The Stooges / As Told by Iggy Pop is the first time
the story of this seminal band has been told entirely in Pop's own
words. Hundreds of full color rare photos illustrate Pop's story.
Author Jeff Gold and contributor Johan Kugelberg, noted music
historians and collectors, spent two days with Pop at his Miami
home, sharing with him their extensive Stooges collection and
interviewing the legendary singer. Pop's candid, bare-all responses
left them with the almost unbelievable tale of the band he
founded-the alternately tragic and triumphant story of a group who
rose from youth, fell prey to drugs, alcohol, and music biz
realities, collapsed and nearly 30 years later reformed, recording
and touring to great acclaim. In 2010 The Stooges, credited with
having invented punk rock, were inducted into the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame. Their continuing influence can be felt today in the
shape and sound of rock-n-roll music. "Gasp at the awe inspiring
memorabilia and frank talk in Total Chaos: The Story of The
Stooges/As Told By Iggy Pop"— Mojo Magazine "Tells the band’s
revolutionary story through many never-before-published photos and
extensive interviews…(and) contributions from Johnny Marr, Josh
Homme, Dave Grohl, Joan Jett and Jack White."— Rolling Stone "A
fantastic new book…a must-read for both diehard fans and anyone
who wants to learn first-hand from Pop what it was like from the
inside looking out in one of the seminal bands of the post-’60s
era."— Esquire

In any kind of organization, learning has become a vital part of
the growth and development process, but it only produces effective
results if it is pursued strategically and embedded deeply into the
culture of the workplace. In recent years, there has been a growing
consensus that, for many organizations, learning is their only
sustainable competitive advantage - ensuring a committed and
engaged workforce that is positioned to identify and exploit
business opportunities in an increasingly volatile and uncertain
world. This makes it essential for leaders and senior managers to
investigate the full range of learning processes and to understand
exactly how individual, group, machine and organization-wide
learning can produce long-lasting results for individuals as well
as for the company itself. Backed by new academic theory, yet
designed to be completely accessible to a business readership, The
Learning-Driven Business highlights the importance of
Organizational Learning (OL) for organizations which wish to remain
competitive and profitable, before clarifying the various pathways
and frameworks that can lead to success. With the onset of
automation and artificial intelligence, as well as the
proliferation of redundancies and the economic instability of
modern times, organizations and their employees must prioritise
effective OL in order to overcome these challenges and remain
competitive and relevant in the 21st century. This book is a guide
for all business leaders and academics looking to adapt to the
changing world through OL, using Garand & Golds' unique and
original academic model.

A rare collection of more than 200 full-color and black-and-white
souvenir photographs and memorabilia that bring to life the
renowned jazz nightclubs of the 1940s and 1950s, compiled by Grammy
Award-winning record executive and music historian Jeff Gold and
featuring exclusive interviews with Quincy Jones, Sonny Rollins,
Robin Givhan, Jason Moran, and Dan Morgenstern. In the two decades
before the Civil Rights movement, jazz nightclubs were among the
first places that opened their doors to both Black and white
performers and club goers in Jim Crow America. In this
extraordinary collection, Jeff Gold looks back at this explosive
moment in the history of Jazz and American culture, and the spaces
at the center of artistic and social change. Sittin' In is a visual
history of jazz clubs during these crucial decades when some of the
greatest names in in the genre-Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Ella
Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Oscar
Peterson, and many others-were headlining acts across the country.
In many of the clubs, Black and white musicians played together and
more significantly, people of all races gathered together to enjoy
an evening's entertainment. House photographers roamed the floor
and for a dollar, took picture of patrons that were developed on
site and could be taken home in a keepsake folder with the club's
name and logo. Sittin' In tells the story of the most popular club
in these cities through striking images, first-hand anecdotes, true
tales about the musicians who performed their unforgettable shows,
notes on important music recorded live there, and more. All of this
is supplemented by colorful club memorabilia, including posters,
handbills, menus, branded matchbooks, and more. Inside you'll also
find exclusive, in-depth interviews conducted specifically for this
book with the legendary Quincy Jones; jazz great tenor saxophonist
Sonny Rollins; Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic Robin Givhan;
jazz musician and creative director of the Kennedy Center, Jason
Moran; and jazz critic Dan Morgenstern. Gold surveys America's jazz
scene and its intersection with racism during segregation, focusing
on three crucial regions: the East Coast (New York, Atlantic City,
Boston, Washington, D.C.); the Midwest (Chicago, Cleveland,
Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City); and the West Coast (Los Angeles,
San Francisco). This collection of ephemeral snapshots tells the
story of an era that helped transform American life, beginning the
move from traditional Dixieland jazz to bebop, from conservatism to
the push for personal freedom.
TOTAL CHAOS is the first book telling Iggy Pop's story of The
Stooges from his own words. Grammy winning editor and avid music
historian Jeff Gold spent two days at the rock legend's home
sharing pictures and memorabilia from his collection. Featuring a
trove of unseen photos, TOTAL CHAOS shows and tells, with the help
of best-selling author Jon Savage, the story of the Stooges from
those tell-all interviews. "Gasp at the awe inspiring memorabilia
and frank talk in Total Chaos: The Story of The Stooges/As Told By
Iggy Pop"-- Mojo Magazine "Tells the band's revolutionary story
through many never-before-published photos and extensive
interviews...(and) contributions from Johnny Marr, Josh Homme, Dave
Grohl, Joan Jett and Jack White."-- Rolling Stone "A fantastic new
book...a must-read for both diehard fans and anyone who wants to
learn first-hand from Pop what it was like from the inside looking
out in one of the seminal bands of the post-'60s era."-- Esquire
