Download or read book Tool written by Matt Karpe and published by Sonicbond Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music may not have been the designated career path for the members of Tool when they each relocated to Los Angeles in the 1980s, but the quartet would soon find one another and join forces to become one of the most distinctive acts in the history of rock and metal. Tool On Track documents all of the band’s studio releases, from their raw and unapologetic 1991 demo tape to their 2019 epic, Fear Inoculum, a record thirteen years in the making and an album that would solidify Tool as one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time. Something of an enigma but an extremely complex and intelligent band, this book goes into considerable depth as it uncovers the stories behind Tool’s engrossing back catalogue. The formulations of pivotal songs such as ‘Sober’, ‘Ænema’, Schism’, ‘Lateralus’ and ‘Rosetta Stoned’ have become stories of legend, and this book has been extensively researched in order to create a valuable reference book that all Tool fans can delve into at their leisure, Also focusing on the band members’ various side-projects and selected guest appearances, as well as acting as a detailed biography, this is the most comprehensive book on the band yet written. An avid music fan, author, and journalist, Matt Karpe has written for multiple print and online magazines over the last decade, including Powerplay and the punk and hardcore publication, Down For Life. Tool On Track is Matt’s sixth book overall, his previous releases being We Own the Night: The Underground of the Modern American Hard Rock Scene; two volumes of Nu Metal: Resurgence, Nu Metal: A Definitive Guide, and Korn On Track. He lives in March, Cambridgeshire, UK.

Download or read book Nansen written by Roland Huntford and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the great polar explorers of the early twentieth century - Amundsen, Shackleton, Scott in the South and Peary in the North - looms the spirit of Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), the mentor of them all. He was the father of modern polar exploration, the last act of territorial discovery before the leap into space began. Nansen was a prime illustration of Carlyle's dictum that 'the history of the world is but the biography of great men'. He was not merely a pioneer in the wildly diverse fields of oceanography and skiing, but one of the founders of neurology. A restless, unquiet Faustian spirit, Nansen was a Renaissance Man born out of his time into the new Norway of Ibsen and Grieg. He was an artist and historian, a diplomat who had dealings with Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, and played a part in the Versailles Peace Conference, where he helped the Americans in their efforts to contain the Bolsheviks. He also undertook famine relief in Russia. Finally, working for the League of Nations as both High Commissioner for Refugees and High Commissioner for the Repatriation of Prisoners of War, he became the first of the modern media-conscious international civil servants.

Download or read book Ocellus written by Andrew McEwan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-01-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Geordie sketchbook featuring time travel, reincarnation and the entire history of Newcastle-upon-Tyne from Roman to present day. There is a mythology inherent in regions with a strong cultural identity, none more so than North East England, where the fabulous exists alongside the mundane and both are treated with a dispassion born of having seen it all before. The world was invented here, and it started with the first bridge, Pons Aelius, over the Tyne. Merging historical fact with picturesque invention and involving notable names, perilous deeds and fantastical undertakings, Ocellus is a unique mix of all things weird and wordy that boasts both supernatural elements and everyday machinations, served up on a plate of local manners with a good dollop of humour, metaphysics and poetry.

Download or read book The Snow Geese written by William Fiennes and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a debut of great delicacy and distinction, a young nature philosopher describes his journey as he follows the northern migration of the snow goose and reflects on the powerful attraction of home. Every spring, millions of geese embark on an arduous three-thousand-mile homeward journey from their winter quarters in the southern United States to their breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic. One year William Fiennes, recovering from a long illness, decided to go with them. Intrigued by what he’d read about the birds’ extraordinary annual journey, he was also desperate to escape the depression that had dogged his convalescence, and the belief that at age twenty-six, his life had ground to a halt. Part memoir, part nature study, part travelogue, the story of Fiennes’s journey is not just about geese. It’s about homecoming: the birds on their long trip home, the pull of nostalgia, the urge to leave home and the even stronger urge to return. Fiennes is a gifted natural writer with a distinctive voice that is deeply thoughtful, wry and keenly observant. His book vibrates with ideas, with stories and anecdotes, with humankind as well as wild fowl. The joy of being alive, being on the move and – above all – going home are poignantly captured in this intelligent, exuberant book.
