Book excerpt: Now the subject of the movie Love & Mercy, starring John Cusack! Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson, along with Mike Love and Al Jardine--better known as the Beach Boys--rocketed out of a working-class Los Angeles suburb in the early sixties, and their sun-and-surf sound captured the imagination of kids across the world. In a few short years, they rode the wave all the way to the top, standing with the Beatles as one of the world's biggest bands. Despite their utopian visions, infectious hooks, and stunning harmonies, the Beach Boys were beset by drug abuse, jealousy, and terrifying mental illness. In Catch a Wave, Peter Ames Carlin pulls back the curtain on Brian Wilson, one of popular music's most revered luminaries, as well as its biggest mystery. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and never-before heard studio recordings, Carlin follows the Beach Boys from their earliest days through Brian's deepening emotional problems to his triumphant re-emergence with the release of Smile, the legendarily unreleased album he had originally shelved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unveiled is a five hundred year old story about a beautiful Bedouin, Jasmine, and her relationship with her two sons. The older boy is a Moslem, who is half Sunni and half Shiite, and her younger son is a Christian. Religious terrorism currently hangs heavily upon men's hearts and minds. An advancement of one religious cult over another is not a suitable answer. We need to come to grips with this growing plague and understand the reasons for this fatal affliction. As reported in this tale of an ancient time, the causes of religious terrorism have more to do with the abuses of power by the world's governmental and spiritual leaders who encourage religious terrorism than with the religions themselves. Unveiled provides some of the reasons and explanations that can lead us to a solution to this dilemma facing our shrinking planet.

Download or read book From Decoding Turbulence to Unveiling the Fingerprint of Climate Change written by Hans von Storch and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book serves as a reference for the key elements and their significance of Klaus Hasselmann's work on climate science and on ocean wave research, all based on a rigorous and deeply physical thinking. It summarizes the original articles (mostly from the 1970 and 1980s; some of which are hard to find nowadays) and brings them in a present-day context. From 1975 until 2000, he was (founding) Director of the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology, which he made to one of the world-leading academic institutions. He first made the issue of anthropogenic climate change accessible to analysis and prediction and later transformed climate science into a significant factor in forming public policy. The book is written by co-workers and colleagues of Klaus Hasselmann, who—many under his immediate supervision—joined him in this effort. With this background, they present the key achievements and assess the significance of these for the present state of knowledge and scientific practice.
