Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Ross has a larger than life personality that has captivated radio and TV audiences both young and old. With a cheeky sense of humour and a witty repertoire Jonathan is definitely the nation's treasure.Beginning his media career as a Channel 4 researcher it was not long before Jonathan had paired up with Alan Marke, forming their own production company which launched The Last Resort project and later in 1987 Channel X. Without a host for the new venture Jonathan stepped into the breach and ignited a television presenting career that was to explode across the networks.Jonathan's Radio career was launched in a similarly chance way - filling in for Janice Long of Radio 1 for two weeks led to a slot on Richard Branson's flagship show (a forerunner for Virgin). Jonathan then went over to Radio 4 before returning to host his own show for an established Virgin radio. Picking up two Sony awards along the way, plus best entertainer and special achievement awards, it is unsurprising then that last year he collected, for the second time, the Best Radio Personality of the Year and was voted the most powerful man in broadcasting.Now an OBE, Jonathan's career is bursting at the seams with accolades to his talent and popularity. This is the wonderful biography of an eccentric and fantastically comic presenter, his life and family.

Download or read book Barbarian Days written by William Finnegan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography** Included in President Obama’s 2016 Summer Reading List “Without a doubt, the finest surf book I’ve ever read . . . ” —The New York Times Magazine Barbarian Days is William Finnegan’s memoir of an obsession, a complex enchantment. Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates, it is something else: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life. Raised in California and Hawaii, Finnegan started surfing as a child. He has chased waves all over the world, wandering for years through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa. A bookish boy, and then an excessively adventurous young man, he went on to become a distinguished writer and war reporter. Barbarian Days takes us deep into unfamiliar worlds, some of them right under our noses—off the coasts of New York and San Francisco. It immerses the reader in the edgy camaraderie of close male friendships forged in challenging waves. Finnegan shares stories of life in a whites-only gang in a tough school in Honolulu. He shows us a world turned upside down for kids and adults alike by the social upheavals of the 1960s. He details the intricacies of famous waves and his own apprenticeships to them. Youthful folly—he drops LSD while riding huge Honolua Bay, on Maui—is served up with rueful humor. As Finnegan’s travels take him ever farther afield, he discovers the picturesque simplicity of a Samoan fishing village, dissects the sexual politics of Tongan interactions with Americans and Japanese, and navigates the Indonesian black market while nearly succumbing to malaria. Throughout, he surfs, carrying readers with him on rides of harrowing, unprecedented lucidity. Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, an intellectual autobiography, a social history, a literary road movie, and an extraordinary exploration of the gradual mastering of an exacting, little-understood art.
