Book Description

Through a long and chequered career, Mick Farren has functioned as a writer, poet, rock star, recording artist, rabble-rouser, critic and commentator, and even won a protracted obscenity trial at the Old Bailey. After resisting the idea for a long time, he has finally written his own highly personal and insightful account of the British counterculture in the 1960s and '70s, from the perspective of one who was right there in the thick of it. With a continuing and unashamed commitment to the tradition of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, he recounts a rollercoaster odyssey - sometimes violent and often hilarious - from early beatnik adventures in Ladbroke Grove, through the flowering hippies to the snarl of punk. He gives a firsthand, insider's account of the chaos, disorder and raging excess of those two highly excessive decades. At the centre of the book is Farren's career in the underground, as the man on the door at the UFO club, driving spirit at IT and, of course, lead singer with the Social Deviants. He describes his encounters with the celebrated and the notorious, who range from Jimi Hendrix and Germaine Greer to Julie Burchill and Sid Vicious, and concludes that the pop history of bohemian culture does not neatly divide itself into easy decades, but continues to this day, perhaps in different guises, but frequently with the same goals and motivations.

Book Description

The promise of "green jobs" and a "clean energy future" has roused the masses. But as Robert Bryce makes clear in this provocative book, that vision needs a major re-vision. We cannot -- and will not -- quit using carbon-based fuels at any time in the near future for a simple reason: they provide the horsepower that we crave. The hard reality is that oil, coal, and natural gas are here to stay. Fueling our society requires more than sentiment and rhetoric; we need to make good decisions and smart investments based on facts. In Power Hungry, Bryce provides a supertanker-load of footnoted facts while shepherding readers through basic physics and math. And with the help of a panoply of vivid graphics and tables, he crushes a phalanx of energy myths, showing why renewables are not green, carbon capture and sequestration won't work, and even -- surprise! -- that the U.S. is leading the world in energy efficiency. He also charts the amazing growth of the fuels of the future: natural gas and nuclear. Power Hungry delivers a clear-eyed view of what America has "in the tank," and what's needed to transform the gargantuan global energy sector.

Book Description

Captain Horacio cannot sleep; he is plagued by mild insomnia brought about by the stress of being at sea for far too long. He slaps his coarse, hairy cheek as he tries and once again fails to kill the annoying fly that prevents him from getting his much-needed rest. After all, it was around six in the morning when the thunderous rain ceased, and the ship’s crew on the decrepit sailing vessel was able to lay down and rest. The last twenty-four hours have been gruesome for the sailors as they have been working nonstop to keep the heavy rain from sinking the ship. Understandably, this early morning, Captain Horacio feels lunatic, angry, and anxious after spending the last twenty-four hours standing at the boat’s helm, battling against the immense waves that crashed on the ship’s bow. He contemplates using his double-barrel pistol to kill the insect, but his gun’s powder is wet and useless in such conditions. Nevertheless, not giving up on finding sleep and rest for his old body, he tosses from side to side, trying to find a comfortable position on a pile of wet straw next to a stack of half-empty wine barrels. The ship’s crew worked heroically through the night and kept the torrential rains from sinking the vessel as large waves tossed the boat, making its wooden frame generate rhythmically screeching sounds all night long. It made the ship sound like a child who refused to stop crying until the first sun’s rays began to penetrate the dark clouds. Some of the crew, who have newborns of their own, were reminded of how fortunate they are not to be home to deal with their children’s cries in the late-night hours, making them appreciate the freedom afforded by being away from their responsibilities. After being at sea for seven months, some aboard have started to feel fatigued, and the onset symptoms of depression have begun to overshadow them. Others are homesick, making their expedition appear eternal, as they consider the many days that have passed since they first set sail from Portugal. In the beginning, everyone regarded themselves as fortunate to partake in the commission granted by a wealthy aristocrat to explore the vast Atlantic Ocean— and, if luck would have it, find new land and untold riches. However, the current feeling on board is that this voyage is nothing short of a curse. Nevertheless, the voyage, by happenstance, will eventually lead them to a mountainous island, and destiny will reward them with great wealth.
