        The Blues: A visual History

        100 Years of Music that Changed the World

        by Mike Evans with Consulting Editors Robert Gordon & Scott Barretta; foreword by Marshall Chess

        Charting the history of the blues from its rural roots in the American South, and focusing on the key musicians and singers who brought it recognition worldwide, The Blues: A Visual History is a unique and fully illustrated account of the development of the blues. This deceptively simple, 12-bar musical form has become the common denominator that has driven the popular music of the last hundred years. As John Lee Hooker put it: “The music we play . . . that music is the roots. Rock music, everything else, is like a branch on the same tree. It all comes from the Blues.”   In this updated and expanded edition of the highly acclaimed original volume (see selected reviews), there is a brand-new final chapter (and extensively revised penultimate chapter) by highly regarded blues specialist writer, broadcaster, and lecturer, Scott Barretta.

        Alien Invasions!

        The History of Aliens in Pop Culture

        by Edited by Michael Stein; foreword by David J. Hogan

        Written by a team of internationally renowned experts on the subject, Alien Invasions! Explores how aliens—and the ways we perceive them—have evolved over the years across a wide range of media, from books and magazines to film and television. Within these richly illustrated pages, you’ll meet aliens with eyes on stalks; the tentacled aliens of H. G. Wells’s War of the Worlds; Frank R. Paul’s barrel-chested Martians of the 1930s; the blob-like B-movie creatures of the 1950s; H. R. Giger’s nightmarish creation for Ridley Scott’s Alien; Steven Spielberg’s friendly visitor in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial; and many, many more. Each of the book’s chapters tackles its subject from a different vantage point, beginning with the earliest fictional examples by Wells and others, before looking at the pulp-magazine explosion of the 1920s and 1930s; the UFO phenomenon of the 1950s, in print and on screen; comic-book aliens, from Buck Rogers to the present day; the B-movie boom of the 1950s, heralded by The Thing and The Day the Earth Stood Still; invaders from within, in the form of Body-Snatchers and Triffids; aliens’ interactions with Earth women; small-screen aliens, from Star Trek to Falling Skies; and blockbuster invasions, from Close Encounters to Arrival.   Along the way, you’ll encounter ray guns, seedpods, mind control, and body transference, not to mention a whole galaxy of friendly visitors and fearsome invaders. Never before have so many aliens assembled in one place!

        The Art of Jazz

        A Visual History

        by Alyn Shipton; foreword by John Edward Hasse

        The Art of Jazz celebrates the ways in which the expressionism and spontaneity of jazz – the twentieth century’s most influential of musical art forms – spilled onto its album art, posters, and promotional photography, and even inspired standalone works of art. As John Edward Hasse, curator at the Smithsonian Institution Museum of American History, writes in the introduction: “Jazz appears most directly to the ear but also engages the eye. Yet the visual dimension of jazz is often overlooked.” Internationally renowned broadcaster and writer Alyn Shipton explores how graphic designers, photographers, artists, and illustrators crafted a fresh visual language for the new music. Arranged chronologically, each chapter covers a key period in jazz history, from the earliest days of the twentieth century right up to postmodern jazz and the twenty-first century. Lavishly produced and with over 350 photos and illustrations, The Art of Jazz is both a timely and significant contribution to the literature of this intrepid art form.
