Before his untimely death in 1982, Lester Bangs was inarguablythe most influential critic of rock and roll. Writing inhyper-intelligent Benzedrine prose that calls to mind Jack Kerouacand Hunter S. Thompson, he eschewed all conventional thinking as hediscussed everything from Black Sabbath being the first trulyCatholic band to Anne Murray’s smoldering sexuality. In Mainlines,Blood Feasts, Bad Taste fellow rock critic John Morthland hascompiled a companion volume to Psychotic Reactions and CarburetorDung, the first, now classic collection of Bangs’s work. Here areexcerpts from an autobiographical piece Bangs wrote as a teenager,travel essays, and, of course, the music pieces, essays, andcriticism covering everything from titans like Miles Davis, LouReed, and the Rolling Stones to esoteric musicians like Brian Enoand Captain Beefheart. Singularly entertaining, this book is anabsolute must for anyone interested in the history of rock.

The official inside story on the making of the award-winning movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy is a lavishly illustrated, behind-the-scenes, definitive account of the creation of an epic film experience. Hailed by critics worldwide, part one of the movie trilogy was a box-office smash, one of the most successful films of the decade. Peter Jackson's "fierce, imaginative movie takes high-flying risks and inspires with its power and scale," wrote Newsweek. "In every way this is moviemaking on a grand scale," wrote the San Francisco Chronicle, while Time proclaimed the "grandeur, moral heft and emotional depth" of the film, which received thirteen Academy Award(R) nominations. Including more than 300 photographs from all three films, most unique to this book, and exclusive interviews with all the cast and crew, Brian Sibley's fascinating book takes every fan inside the process of adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork for the screen. For the first time in histor

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Pick Long before "women in rock" became a media catchphrase, AfricanAmerican guitar virtuoso Rosetta Tharpe proved in spectacularfashion that women could rock. Born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, in1915, Tharpe was gospel's first superstar and the preeminentcrossover figure of its golden age (1945–1965). Shout, Sister, Shout! is the first biography of this trailblazingperformer who influenced scores of popular musicians, from ElvisPresley and Little Richard to Eric Clapton and Etta James. Tharpewas raised in the Pentecostal Church, steeped in the gospeltradition, but she produced music that crossed boundaries, defiedclassification, and disregarded the social and cultural norms ofthe age; incorporating elements of gospel, blues, jazz, popularballads, folk, country, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll. Tharpewent electric early on, captivating both white and black audiencesin the North and South, in the U.S. and internationally, with hercharisma and skill.

《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“
