Scarce. Formed in 1976 Diamond Head was part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal NWOBHM which drew on the hard rock of the 1970s and infused it with the intensity of punk rock to produce fast and aggressive songs. The DIY attitude of the these bands led to the spread of raw-sounding self-produced recordings that were crucial to the rise of thrash and other extreme metal subgenres. Few NWOBHM bands are as revered as Diamond Head who have been acknowledged as an important influence on Metallica and Megadeth among many others. In fact prior to a performance of the Big Four Metallica Megadeth Anthrax and Slayer at the 2011 Sonicsphere Festival in Knebworth drummer Lars Ulrich said that there was "a pretty good chance that none of us would be here" without Diamond Head guitarist Brian Tatler whose songwriting credits include essential cuts like "The Prince" "It's Electric" "Helpless" and "Am I Evil" . yes I am. unknown books
1999réf. MM13359New York:: Norton 1999. 1999. 8vo. 480 pp. 32 plates figs. index. Pictorial wrappers. Fine. ISBN: 0393317552 Reviews: "Fascinating. . . Lays a foundation for understanding human history."- Bill Gates. In this "artful informative and delightful" William H. McNeill New York Review of Books book Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies Guns Germs and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science the Rhone-Poulenc Prize and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal. "A book of remarkable scope a history of the world in less than 500 pages which succeeds admirably where so many others have failed in analyzing some of the basic workings of culture process. . . One of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years." -Colin Renfrew Nature. MK Norton, 1999. unknown books

YUet it may come as a surprise to learn that this is the first full-length biography of the life of Bernard Romans -- preeminent colonial explorer/cartographer who sacrificed a Crown “pension” to throw in his lot with the patriot cause.

2005réf. 2311160New York: Viking 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Jacket bumped. 2005 Hard Cover. xi 575 pp. "In his million-copy bestseller Guns Germs and Steel Jared Diamond examined how and why Western civilizations developed the technologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much of the world. Now in this brilliant companion volume Diamond probes the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to collapse into ruin and what can we learn from their fates As in Guns Germs and Steel Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe. Environmental damage climate change rapid population growth and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of these societies but other societies found solutions and persisted. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society's apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. Brilliant illuminating and immensely absorbing Collapse is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid committing ecological suicide Viking hardcover books
