KISS is an American arena-rock group that formed in the early 1970s
in New York City and is most recognisable by their face paint and
dramatic outfits. With makeup and costumes, Paul Stanley, Gene
Simmons, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley created characters and origin
stories similar to comic book characters: the Starchild, the Demon,
the Space Ace, and the Catman. KISS rose to meteoric prominence
with their extravagant live performances, featuring fire-breathing,
blood spitting, guitars bursting into flames, shooting rockets,
levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnic showpieces. Published in
conjunction with the band, KISS is the definitive chronicle of one
of the most popular and enduring rock bands at the height of their
popularity, showcasing the band performing in arenas and behind the
scenes offstage in both unguarded candids and glamour portraits.
The book contains a wealth of never-before-seen and previously
unpublished photographs and new interviews with Gene Simmons and
Paul Stanley, all bound into an artful, insider s view of the band.
Goldsmith s photographs perfectly capture the bombast, sexiness,
and spectacle of KISS, and KISS is the ultimate gift for fans.

is famous for his big wave courage, riding life-threatening
monsters at Pipeline, Jaws and Mavericks in Northern California,
and most recently surfing 50 foot waves in Nazare, Portugal. This
is an unbelievable attempt for anyone, but a miracle if you are
blind. Beyond These Eyes takes you on an extraordinary journey of
Derek's life. From the time of his birth, the anguish and then
devotion and love of his family, to his time now as a married man
and his devotion to his wife, Madeline. His strong faith and love
for God has enabled him to achieve the miraculous. Derek tours the
world to speak to people of all ages to encourage and inspire them
