Eric Powell is a sick, sick man. Sick... but brilliant. How else would he have been able to come up with a concept like The Goon — a smarter-than-he-looks brute raised by carnies, who runs the city's underworld while protecting it from being overrun by zombies? How could anyone not love that idea? Now’s your chance to take a look inside the sick mind of this Modern Master, courtesy of co-authors Jorge Khoury and Eric Nolen-Weathington. Through a career-spanning interview and heaps of fantastic artwork, including rare and unseen treasures from Powell's personal files, this book documents his amazing career and details his creative process — it even includes a gallery of commissioned pieces in full-color. Experience the work and wonder of this master of modern comic art: Eric Powell!
Sir Eric Phipps was British Ambassador in Berlin (1933-37) and at Paris (1937-39) -- two key ambassadorships which spanned the crucial period between Hitler's advent to power and the outbreak of the Second World War. This book explains the striking contrast between his reputation as a staunch anti-Nazi and an 'anti-appeaser' in Berlin, and as a 'defeatist-appeaser' in Paris.

From the bestselling author of Shout , comes the definitive biography of Eric Clapton, a Rock legend whose life story is as remarkable as his music, which transformed the sound of a generation. For half a century Eric Clapton has been acknowledged to be one of music's greatest virtuosos, the unrivalled master of an indispensable tool, the solid-body electric guitar. His career has spanned the history of rock, and often shaped it via the seminal bands with whom he's played: the Yardbirds, John Mavall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes. Winner of 17 Grammys, the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame's only three-time inductee, he is an enduring influence on every other star soloist who ever wielded a pick. Now, with Clapton's consent and access to family members and close friends, rock music's foremost biographer returns to the heroic age of British rock and follows Clapton through his distinctive and scandalous childhood, early life of reckless rock 'n' roll excess, and twisting & turning struggle with addiction in the 60s and 70s. Readers will learn about his relationship with Pattie Boyd -- wife of Clapton's own best friend George Harrison -- the tragic death of his son, which inspired one of his most famous songs, "Tears in Heaven," and even the backstories of his most famed, and named, guitars. Packed with new information and critical insights, Slowhand finally reveals the complex character behind a living legend.

The Politics and Economics of Eric Kierans
John N. McDougall
McGill-Queen's University Press
1993
sidottu
McDougall believes that study of Kierans' career is important for two reasons: Kierans not only combined practical business and governmental experience with a coherent economic and philosophical outlook but also maintained a comprehensive and integrated approach to the major issues in Canadian politics national unity, economic independence, federal-provincial relations, regional development, resource policy, and macro-economic policy. McDougall examines Kierans' career from his appointment as president of the Montreal Stock Exchange in 1960 to his service as chairman of the Nova Scotia commission on the Charlottetown Accord during the early 1990s. He focuses on Kierans' relationship with Rene Levesque in the government of Jean Lesage, his fights within the Trudeau cabinet over the reform of the post office and the development of the Anik satellite, and his criticisms of Canadian economic and resource policies in the 1970s. Using Kierans' ministerial and personal records, his publications and speeches, interviews with him and his former associates, and a variety of secondary sources, the author argues that much of what Kierans said and accomplished is unique and remains relevant to the economic and political problems of today. Kierans has demonstrated that powerful political forces often prevent good ideas and determined effort from improving public policy but he has also shown that thoughtful and responsible public service can at least raise the level of public debate.

Mind-reader Eric Beckman leads an uncomplicated life, using his special talent to solve cases and find missing persons. That life is threatened, however, when he learns that his nineteen-year-old daughter, Cosmina, has been recruited for a mission to retrieve a magic gold coin. Eric objects. She is much too young and inexperienced for a dangerous mission like that But Cosmina, whose powers are even greater than her father's, is the only person on the planet who can complete the task. She's The Chosen One. He allows her to go but only if he can come along. The mystical coin is buried in an ancient cave in Antarctica, and evil forces will do anything to prevent the father-daughter team from reaching it. Eric and Cosmina must fight not only the natural elements of the most inhospitable place on Earth, but the unnatural forces of a terrible demon hellbent on destroying them. If Eric can't accept his daughter's power and maturity and yield to her judgment, the quest will fail. The full power of the netherworld will be unleashed, and humans' reign over the planet will cease.
Eric Coates (1886-1957) is perhaps the most familiar name associated with British light music. Sir Charles Groves said that 'his music crackled with enthusiasm and vitality. He could write tunes and clothe them in the most attractive musical colours'. Coates won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, and from 1912 to 1919 he was principal viola of the Queen's Hall Orchestra under Sir Henry Wood. He also played under such conductors as Elgar, Delius, Richard Strauss, Debussy, and Beecham. It was, however, as a composer of orchestral music that he found his greatest success. Beginning with the Miniature Suite, written for the 1911 Promenade Concerts, he forged an enviable reputation as a composer. By the 1920s and 1930s, he was one of the most popular and highest-paid British composers, with a string of popular works flowing from his pen. Coates' music has become indelibly entwined with such popular radio programmes as the BBC's In Town Tonight, which was introduced by the 'Knightsbridge' March and Desert Island Discs whose signature tune for the past forty years has been By the Sleepy Lagoon. Perhaps his most memorable work was his march for the Dam Busters film. Michael Payne traces the changing fortunes of the career of the man who composed some of Britain's best-known music. In many ways, Coates' story is the story of British light music, and Payne's study offers a fascinating insight into the heyday and decline of the British light music tradition.
