was part of it.' Julian Mitchell, "Guardian"
The redoubtable GeorgeMelly (1926-2007): flamboyant jazz singer,
sexually ambiguous raconteur, prodigiously gifted critic. In the
early sixties, at the birth of what we now recognise as the pop
revolution, Mellybegan work as a broadsheet journalist, commenting
upon this new cultural phenomenon.Revoltinto Style (1970) is his
first-hand account of those turbulent and exciting years when all
things creative - whether music, fashion, film, art or literature -
were changed utterly.
Central to the book are The Beatles - the epitome of the
swinging sixties - who charted the decade's changes and about whose
significance the Liverpudlian Melly had a special feel and insight.

wannabes and taste-makers, all dissected by Melly's surgical
mind.

A comprehensive survey of the work of this most influential
Florentine artist and teacher Andrea del Verrocchio (c. 1435-1488)
was one of the most versatile and inventive artists of the Italian
Renaissance. He created art across media, from his spectacular
sculptures and paintings to his work in goldsmithing, architecture,
and engineering. His expressive, confident drawings provide a key
point of contact between sculpture and painting. He led a vibrant
workshop where he taught young artists who later became some of the
greatest painters of the period, including Leonardo da Vinci,
Sandro Botticelli, Lorenzo di Credi, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. This
beautifully illustrated book presents a comprehensive survey of
Verrocchio's art, spanning his entire career and featuring some
fifty sculptures, paintings, and drawings, in addition to works he
created with his students. Through incisive scholarly essays,
in-depth catalog entries, and breathtaking illustrations, this
volume draws on the latest research in art history to show why
Verrocchio was one of the most innovative and influential of all
Florentine artists. Published in association with the National
Gallery of Art, Washington, DC

A landmark publication on the drawings of one of the giants of the
Italian Renaissance  Sandro Botticelli (ca. 1445–1510) is
one of the most beloved artists of the Italian Renaissance,
especially known for his paintings La Primavera and The Birth of
Venus. A lesser-known aspect of his career is his work as a
draftsman. His drawings are extraordinary, yet their rarity and
unconventional style have kept them from being more widely
recognized. Â Botticelli Drawings is the first major book to
examine this aspect of Botticelli’s work. It considers the
foundational role that drawings played in Botticelli’s oeuvre in
terms of his aesthetic, practice, and process—from his earliest
recorded drawings made under the master Fra Filippo Lippi to the
experimental and expressive designs for his final paintings. This
catalogue reunites the majority of Botticelli’s surviving sheets,
including several new attributions, discussed in detailed object
entries. Essays further highlight the development of the artist’s
draftsmanship, the broader Florentine culture in which he worked,
and his design practices as revealed in new technical analyses of
the underdrawings of some of his most renowned paintings. Â
In its focus on little-known and unknown material by one of the
best-known artists in the canon, this is a landmark publication in
the field of Renaissance art that will be an important reference
for years to come. Â Published in association with the Fine
Arts Museums of San Francisco  Exhibition Schedule: Â

This single volume includes three famous memoirs - Scouse Mouse,
Rum, Bum & Concertina and Owning Up, with a new introduction by
the author. Scouse Mouse is a funny and frequently touching story
of the author's 1930s childhood in a middle-class Liverpudlian
household. Rum, Bum & Concertina, the naval equivalent of wine,
women and song, describes Melly's National Service as one of the
most unlikely naval ratings ever. He becomes an anarchist and
connoisseur of Surrealist Art while self-educating himself on some
of the wilder shores of love. Once demobbed, Melly comes to London
to work in an art gallery, and in Owning Up he describes how he
slipped into the world of the jazz revival, revelling in an endless
round of pubs, clubs, seedy guest-houses and transport caffs while
surrounded by a mad array of musicians, tarts, drunks and
arch-eccentrics.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arises from the experience of
severe stressors and trauma. The disorder is characterized by
recurrent recall of intrusive memories to the event, nightmares
with insomnia, emotional numbing, hyperarousal, which are all
long-lasting and relatively resistant to therapy. The focus of this
book is on the question of how stress hormones are involved in
PTSD. Recent evidence suggests that a dysregulation in stress
hormones promotes the precipitation of PTSD and that correction of
these hormones may ameliorate the disorder. This book combines
state-of-the-art basic research on stress hormones from gene to
behaviour with clinical research demonstrating the progress in
understanding via imaging techniques, genetics, vulnerable
phenotypes and co-morbidity with other disorders and physical
illness.
