Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad

A groundbreaking collection of inspiring and instructive
conversations about the beauty, brutality, discipline, and
technique of being a successful singer. “This is a captivating
look at both the nitty-gritty preparation and emotional energy that
‘it takes [for artists] to stand up to that mic... reach down
into their guts, and give everything they’ve got for the sake of
the song.’ Its star power and up-close, revelatory detail will
keep readers riveted from start to finish.” —Publishers Weekly,
starred review These revelatory, frequently funny, and deeply
engrossing in-depth interviews provide fans and aspiring singers a
backstage pass to the challenges every vocalist faces onstage and
in the studio. Packed with never-before-heard stories, The Singers
Talk reveals a truly intimate side to these iconic personalities
while offering a master class on how the best in their field keep
their vocal cords in shape and protect themselves on the
road—along with countless other tricks, techniques, strategies,
and philosophies to help vocalists at every level perfect the craft
of singing. “This is the most geeked out I’ve ever talked about
my voice!” —Thom Yorke This historic roster of artists
includes: Bryan Adams, Tony Bennett, Nick Cave, Chuck D, Roger
Daltrey, Joe Elliott, Emmylou Harris, Brittany Howard, Chrissie
Hynde, Norah Jones, Simon Le Bon, Geddy Lee, Willie Nelson, Stevie

Additionally, the book features conversations about legendary
voices no longer with us, such as Butch Vig on Kurt Cobain, Clive
Davis on Whitney Houston, Nile Rodgers on David Bowie, and Jimmy
Iovine on Tom Petty. “Singing is so much more than hitting the
right note. It’s about connecting with the audience, connecting
with something divine to a certain degree. It’s connecting to
your most primitive and deepest intuition, and to your nature as a
human on this planet.” —Karen O More than just an indispensable
guide for singers of any level, The Singers Talk is an
unforgettable read for music fans everywhere. All royalties from
The Singers Talk will benefit the kids and families at St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital through their Music Gives to St.
Jude Kids campaign.

Unlike many of the works on the Yugoslav wars written during and
just after the crisis, Yugoslavia Unraveled delves beyond 'who did
what to whom' to examine underlying issues regarding the sources of
religious nationalism and inter-ethnic conflict, the territorial
integrity and sovereignty of states, and the principle of
self-determination and the right of secession from an existing
state. This volume raises essential questions pertaining to the
legality and morality of military intervention by external powers
without U.N. sanction, and to nation-building by outside powers in
war-devastated territories. The book also explores the nature of
media propaganda in times of war. Editor Raju G. C. Thomas and the
prominent contributors provide fresh views and alternative
explanations for the unraveling of a sovereign independent state
following the end of the Cold War and in a world without
countervailing power.
