Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?: A Rock 'n' Roll Memoir
"Steven Tyler is one of the giants of American music, who's been influential for a whole generation of Rock 'n' Roll fans around the world. Long May He Rock "--Sir Paul McCartneyDoes the Noise in My Head Bother You? is the rock memoir to end all rock memoirs -- the straight-up, no-holds-barred story of Grammy Award-winning, Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and all around superstar legend Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith (and celebrity judge on American Idol).The rock and roll epic that is Tyler's life begins with Tyler's youth in the Bronx, tracing his early music career and influences, his legendary partnership with Joe Perry, the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades, their music, Tyler's battles with substance abuse, his epic romantic life, his relationship with his four children (including actress Liv Tyler), life on the road and in the spotlight, the economics of the rock star business --and all the sex, drugs, and rock and roll that anyone could ask for.In Tyler's own words: "I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized, I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, I've been Led Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and so cool that me, Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the baddest cats that am. I have so many outrageous stories, too many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all. All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex & drugs, transcendence & chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. And this is not just my take, this is the unbridled truth, the in-your-face, up-close and prodigious tale of Steven Tyler straight from the horse's lips."

Finalist for the 2016 IACP Awards: Julia Child First Book Eat More Vegetables. James Beard Award-winning chef of celebrated Atlanta restaurant Miller Union, Steven Satterfield-dubbed the "Vegetable Shaman" by the New York Times' Sam Sifton-has enchanted diners with his vegetable dishes, capturing the essence of fresh produce through a simple, elegant cooking style. Like his contemporaries April Bloomfield and Fergus Henderson, who use the whole animal from nose to tail in their dishes, Satterfield believes in making the most out of the edible parts of the plant, from root to leaf. Satterfield embodies an authentic approach to farmstead-inspired cooking, incorporating seasonal fresh produce into everyday cuisine. His trademark is simple food and in his creative hands he continually updates the region's legendary dishes-easy yet sublime fare that can be made in the home kitchen. Root to Leaf is not a vegetarian cookbook, it's a cookbook that celebrates the world of fresh produce. Everyone, from the omnivore to the vegan, will find something here. Organized by seasons, and with a decidedly Southern flair, Satterfield's collection mouthwatering recipes make the most of available produce from local markets, foraging, and the home garden. A must-have for the home cook, this beautifully designed cookbook, with its stunning color photographs, elevates the bounty of the fruit and vegetable kingdom as never before.
Testimony

Testimony

Steven Spielberg

Few films have resonated through the years as Schindler's List has. Released in December 1993, it not only won seven Oscars - including Best Film and Best Director, and is now ranked numbered 8 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Best American Films of All Time - it inspired Steven Spielberg to create one of the world's most important visual history resources. This book commemorates that legacy, presenting in one volume both stories: the making of the movie, and the birth and enduring work of the foundation. Exclusively for this milestone anniversary, Spielberg and Universal Pictures opened their archives, providing access to production stills, interviews, call sheets, and other artifacts that bring the filmmaking story to life for the first time. In Part One of this authorized book Spielberg explains why he waited to make the film ten years after the Thomas Keneally novel was first published in the U.S. along with details of pre-production planning, the difficult location shoot in Poland, and the experiences of the cast and crew. Featured throughout Testimony are excerpts from Steven Zaillian's Oscar-winning screenplay and the dramatic black-and-white photographs of David James - which echo the film's acclaimed cinematography. Here too are accounts of startling events on the set, when actual Holocaust survivors would show up unannounced and ask to speak only to Spielberg. These encounters were what inspired him to establish a way to video-record and preserve testimonies of Holocaust survivors and witnesses while they were still alive. Part Two of the book focuses on the story of the Shoah Foundation, and its urgent mission to collect and preserve the Holocaust testimonies, so that these eyewitnesses could become teachers of humanity for generations to come. Here's how they raced against time and were able, during the first five years, to gather more than 50,000 testimonies in 56 countries and 32 languages; how they developed pioneering interviewing methodology, state-of-the art technologies for indexing, cataloging, and preservation, and groundbreaking means and educational programs to share the testimonies with the world - especially with young people. In 2006, the Foundation became part of the University of Southern California, and has broadened their mission to collect and preserve testimonies from other genocides, including those in Armenia, Cambodia and the Rwandan Tutsi genocide.
