Cunninghame Graham was a famous and hugely influential figure in late 19th and early 20th century Scottish politics and literature. He published 34 books during his lifetime, equally divided between histories (mostly of South America), and anthologies of his impressionistic sketches of South America, Morocco, and Scotland, the large majority of which had been published previously in literary magazines between 1896 and 1933. For the first time, the editors have compiled his entire Scottish oeuvre chronologically, into one volume, and set them in their historical and social contexts, which explores and contextualises the works themselves, and traces Graham's development as a much-admired literary artist and social documentarist. One of the editors is a Cunninghame Graham family member, and the family historian, who has provided insights and peculiar details, unavailable to previous biographers, which hopefully provides added depth and understanding to Graham's works.

I created this coloring book and many others to test customers creativity level and their limits. The first few books features popular musicians, pop stars, hip-hop, rock, and r&b artist of modern day and early musical atmospheres. By Scanning the QR code on each page via smart phone. A playlist created on youtube will pop up allowing you to listen to that Artist top songs through your smart phone while you color. Advanced Coloring Books tests our creative level and focus level of what we think can and can not be achieved. If you consider yourself great with your right hand try coloring the book with your left hand, and vice versa. This develops the brains neural structure and modifies brain power increasing neural activity and growth. Creating more focus allows use to sharpen our mind in all areas. Even people who don't consider them selves artists, this helps relax the brain and body naturally achieving a meditative state, while developing cells never used or used rarely. Adding music to the mix helps stimulate and maintain this meditative state by creating a zen like atmosphere. As we know, our brain is divided into two halves, the Left and Right hemisphere. The right brain looks at the visual references as a whole, whether it's a landscape, object, or a piece of artwork, then focuses its way into noticing finer details. It also deals with art awareness, creativity, imagination, intuition, insight, holistic thought, and music awareness. The right brain works in the three-dimensions and controls left-hand functions. The down side to the Right Brain is that it tends to be disorganized, lack in time management and can't prioritize. The left brain on the other hand sees the details and puts them together to form the bigger picture. The left Brain handles organization, logic, analytical thought, reasoning, science, math, calculations, skill set, as well as controls the right hand. In addition a left brain thinker is better at using words to remember things rather than visual aides, to process ideas in a step-by-step algorithm, and are less prone to errors. The down side to the left brain is that it tends to lack in creativity, and spirituality. The human brain is a network of approximately one hundred billion neurons. Different experiences create different neural connections which bring about different emotions. Coloring becomes an natural outlet to express your emotions creating a therapeutic foundation of peace and inner awareness. Depending on which neurons get stimulated, certain connections become stronger and more efficient, while others may become weaker. This is whats called neuroplasticity. The Advanced Coloring Book combines, the left and right hemispheres to process creative thought collectively. This wires the brains neurological structure to develop new cells, and begins neuroplasticity. As you color I advise people to re-frame from statements like "it's hard","I can't" or "I don't have the patience". Statements of this nature hinders the advancement of cells. Psychologically, and subconsciously wiring the brain to believe you are incapable of doing something. Several studies exemplify that Art Therapy enhanced the psycho-social symptoms of distress, improved quality of life, reduced pain perception, and improved general physical, and psychological health behaviors. Art Therapy showed a reduction in depression and fatigue levels in cancer patients on chemotherapy. Researchers realized, children with cancer engaging in drawing and painting is an effective method for dealing with pain and other disturbing symptoms of illness and treatment. Using Art Therapy with children having asthma reduced anxiety, strengthened self-concepts, and self-confidants. For adults that have dementia or related disorders Art Therapy improves quality of life, decreased perception of illness, disability, and pain. Serving as a form of stress reduction to increase or at least maintain cognitive functioning.

I mitten av 1970-talet beslutar sig den unge svensken Jonas Bernholm för att tillsammans med två kompisar starta ett skivbolag. Drivna av passionen för svart musik är målet att ge ut rockens förbisedda pionjärer. De flesta artisterna lever ännu, men är bortglömda. Innan Jonas äventyr är över har många fått en renässans som artister. Flera av dem kommer också till Sverige för att uppträda. Artister som Roy Brown och Ruth Brown. Jonas Bernholms resa slutar med att han säljer och donerar hela sin stora samling av skivor, brev och unika fotografier till National Museum of American History i Washington. En okänd svensk har räddat ett amerikansk kulturarv. Detta inspirerar senare Stax Museum of American Soul Music i Memphis att döpa en uppmärksammad utställning om Bernholm till Giving the Music Back: Mr. R&B Helps Save A Cultural Heritage. Journalisten Jan Kotschack följer Jonas Bernholm i spåren, både i Sverige och USA. Resan går mot rockens rötter... En fängslande bok som tar läsaren med till genuina svarta musikmiljöer i städer som New Orleans, Memphis och Los Angeles. Och Stockholm! En bok för dig som älskar amerikansk musikhistoria. Inbunden m. hårdband. 400 sid. inkl. 16 sid. bildark i färg, med exklusiva fotografier från Bernholms samling. Komplett diskografi över samtliga skivor utgivna av Jonas Bernholms alla olika skivbolag.
Johnny Ace's crooning style and stirring ballads made him the first postwar African American artist to cross over to a white audience. After a string of R&B hits, Ace released the million-selling "Pledging My Love," a song headed to the top of the charts when the singer accidentally shot himself in his dressing room between sets at a show. James M. Salem captures the enigmatic, captivating, and influential R&B legend. Venturing from raucous Beale Street to Houston's vibrant Fourth Ward, Salem places Johnny Ace within a multifaceted world of postwar rhythm and blues that included B. B. King, Johnny Otis, Big Mama Thornton, and Gatemouth Brown. Salem also examines how entrepreneur Don D. Robey and his wife Evelyn Johnson promoted Ace to the top of the charts. Yet fame, as always, had a price. Ace's tours on the Chitlin' Circuit meant endless one-night stands and a grueling schedule that kept him on the road 340 days per year. Comprehensive and filled with anecdotes, The Late Great Johnny Ace and the Transition from R&B to Rock 'n' Roll tells the story of the star who fused black and white styles and changed American popular music forever.
