No detail is spared - not the sex, drugs, relationships, breakups, births, deaths, nor the variety of chameleon-like transformations that have enabled Young to remain one of the most revered musical forces of our time. Based on six years of interviews with more than three hundred of Young’s associates, and on more than fifty hours of interviews with Young himself, Shakey is a fascinating, prodigious account of the singer’s life and career. ![]() In Shakey, Jimmy McDonough tells the whole story of Young’s incredible life and career: from his childhood in Canada to the founding of folk-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield to the bleary conglomeration of Crazy Horse and simultaneous monstrous success of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to the depths of the Tonight’s the Night depravity and the strange changes of the Geffen years and Young’s unprecedented nineties “comeback” with Ragged Glory and Harvest Moon. Neil Young is one of rock and roll’s most important, influential and enigmatic figures, an intensely reticent artist who has granted no writer access to his inner sanctum - until now. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using hyperbole, puns, slapstick, and silly drawings, bestselling author/illustrator Tedd Arnold creates an easy reader that is full of fun. ![]() Er, and so begins a very funny friendship.

It explores what it means to live in a place of great antiquity, with its complex questions of ownership and identity. Deep Time Dreaming is about a slow shift in national consciousness. In this original, important book, Griffiths investigates a twin revolution- the reassertion of Aboriginal identity in the second half of the twentieth century, and the simultaneous uncovering of the traces of ancient Australia by pioneering archaeologists. ![]() Deep Time Dreaming is the passionate product of that journey. ![]() There is no wild racing for grabbing more passengers as the buses are run by the public sector and thus the enterprise is not for profit.
