Through the story of her progress from terrified beginner to confident lead climber, she shows us how placing hand and foot on rock becomes a profound new way into the landscape.Anna takes us from the gritstone rocks of the Peak District and Yorkshire to the gabbro pinnacles of the Cuillin, the slate of North Wales and the high plateau of the Cairngorms. Each landscape, and each type of rock, brings its own challenges and unique pleasures. She also shows us how climbing invites us into the history of a place: geologically, of course, but also culturally. This book is Anna''s journey of self-discovery, but it is also a guide to losing oneself in the greater majesty of the natural world. With great lyricism she explores how it feels to climb as a woman, the pleasures of the physical demands of climbing, fear and challenge, but more than anything, it is about a joyful connection to the mountains.

Crosstown Traffic - Charles Shaar Murray - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Jimi Hendrix ''transgressed many boundaries; both arbitrary musical definitions separating blues and soul or jazz and rock, and also those fundamental divides between the archaic and the avant-garde, between individualist and collectivist philosophies,between blacks and whites, between America and Britain, between passive acquiescence and furious resistance,between lust for life and obsession with death.'' Charles Shaar MurrayCrosstown Traffic charts the routes Hendrix took to arrive at his ''unique musical formulation''. The result is a bravura study of his art and life that has become established as the definitive work on ''the most eloquent instrumentalist ever to work in rock.''Winner of the Ralph Gleason Music Book Award on first publication, this brilliant and ambitious book, hailed as ''the most compelling and literate essay on rock since Greil Marcus'' Mystery Train, is being reissued with an updated introduction.

Taking nearly fifteen years to write, The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones has emerged as ''the one authentic masterpiece of rock ''n'' roll writing''.
