THE WISDOM OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT "Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive."Politician. Statesman. Conservationist. Historian. Lawman. Soldier. Writer. Husband. Father. These are some of the hats Theodore Roosevelt wore during the course of an extraordinary public life. Though most famous for his two terms as President of the United States, Roosevelt was one of the true renaissance men of our time, and his writings, both published (he authored more than thirty-five books) and private (he kept up a network of correspondences that produced well over 150,000 letters) provide remarkable insight to the depth of his thinking, and his utter commitment to making his country the best it could be. Edmund Morris's bestselling biography has brought attention to this complex and often controversial figure who, many believe, created the 20th-century presidency. Now, The Wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt presents a carefully culled selection of his words and ideas on a range… Read More

As a boy in post-War England, legendary Kinks' singer/songwriter Ray Davies was fascinated by America—ts movies and music, its culture of freedom, fed his imagination. Then, as part of the British Invasion, he toured the US with the Kinks during one of the most tumultuous eras in recent history—until the Kinks were banned from performing there from 1965-69. Many tours and trips later, he experienced a transformative event in New Orleans when he was shot during a botched robbery. From his quintessentially English perspective as songwriter for the Kinks, Davies explores in Americana his feelings—love, confusion, and fascination—toward the country that both inspires and frustrates him. With candor, humor, and wit, he takes us on a very personal road trip through his life and storied career as a rock writer-performer, and reveals what music, fame, and America really mean to him. Some of the most fascinating characters in recent pop culture make appearances, from the famous to the… Read More

The most overtly political of all punk groups, The Clash stormed the music scene in 1976, as part of the Sex Pistols's Anarchy in the UK tour. Formed in 1976, the furious four stayed in the headlines for a decade, until disbanding in 1986. Their debut album, 'The Clash', "the best album of 1977" (Al Spicer) was recorded in just six days and, with its angry, anti-capitalist lyrics-dole queues, race riots, crumbling tower blocks-The Clash seemed the new spokesmen for an angry, anti-captitalist generation. Paul Simonon, Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Terry Chimes aimed to be the most honest band in the world: they kept ticket and record prices low (releasing a double LP for the price of a single and a triple album for the price of a double LP), and only signed to major, capitalist label CBS with a promise "to corrupt them from within". When CBS released 'Remote Control' as a single, without informing either the band or their manager, The Clash released 'Complete Control' as a returning jibe.… Read More
