In Nazi Germany, the cult of celebrity was the embodiment of Hitler's style of cultural governance. Hitler's rise to power owed much to the creation of his own celebrity, and the country's greatest stars, whether they were actors, writers, or musicians, could be one of only two things. If they were compliant, they were lauded and awarded status symbols for the regime; but if they resisted - or were simply Jewish - they were traitors to be interned and murdered.

Before the heyday of the Food Network, there was Chef Tell - TV persona of Friedemann Paul Erhardt, America's first TV showman chef. Big on personality and flavor, Chef Tell was once called by Philadelphia magazine the "affably roguish Bad Boy of the Philadelphia restaurant world." Chef Tell explores how a young German American chef became America's biggest TV celebrity chef of his time. Most of Chef Tell's forty million baby boomer viewers - a number comparable to Julia Child's - never knew his fascinating, hardscrabble life story. Until now.

In this, the first book-length account of this renowned masterpiece, Marina Belozerskaya traces its fascinating journey through history. That it has survived at all is a miracle.

El flamenco es arte, pasión, dolor, sentimiento... y misterio. Muchas han sido las teorías que, a lo largo de la historia, se han formulado para explicar su origen, su excepcionalidad y su endemismo andaluz. Algunas, puramente nominalistas y radicalmente erróneas, como la de que viene de Flandes; otras, simplemente reduccionistas, como la de que es un arte gitano. Blas Infante lanzó una nueva y clarividente teoría al asociar su origen con el íntimo dolor de los derrotados y humillados andalusíes y moriscos, fellah mengu, de la que vendría la expresión de flamenco.

We're in a Beyoncé moment. The pop sensation has more fans, more fame, and more cultural influence than ever before. But what makes her so iconic? Is she really that perfect? And why do we love her so much? How to Be Beyoncé isn't a biography (mostly because nobody wants to get sued by someone who does everything so perfectly). Instead, it's a meditation on her place in culture, why we love her so much, and what we can learn from her image and work-ethic, so we can reach our own potential.

Today it is widely recognized that gay men played a prominent role in defining the culture of mid-20th-century America, with such icons as Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, Montgomery Clift, and Rock Hudson defining much of what seemed distinctly "American" on the stage and screen. Even though few gay artists were "out," their sexuality caused significant anxiety during a time of rampant anti-homosexual attitudes.

In the 1950s, at the age of 14, Little Freddie King hopped a southbound freight train in McComb, Mississippi, fleeing the life of a sharecropper’s son in what was then the "worst part of the most intransigent state" in Jim Crow-era Dixie. Landing in New Orleans, he taught himself to play blues guitar, then found work performing at the city’s corner nightclubs, including one nicknamed the Bucket of Blood for its nightly eruptions of violence. Dodging bullets and drinking with abandon, he became a fixture in the subterranean blues scene.

Tutti sappiamo - o pensiamo di sapere - che cos'è la canzone italiana. Ne parliamo con gli amici guardando Sanremo, la ascoltiamo su Spotify o su vinile, la cantiamo sotto la doccia, la amiamo, la odiamo, o tutt'e due le cose insieme. Ma che cosa rende "italiana" una canzone? "Felicità", siamo tutti d'accordo, suona come una tipica "canzone italiana", al punto che potremmo definirla "all'italiana". E allora "Via con me" di Paolo Conte, coeva eppure lontana miglia e miglia dal successo sanremese di Al Bano e Romina, non lo è?

When he died in 1992, Brett Whiteley left behind decades of ceaseless activity - some works bound to a particular place or time, others that are masterpieces of light and line. Whiteley had arrived in Europe in 1960 determined to make an impression. Before long he was the youngest artist to have work acquired by the Tate. With his wife, Wendy, and daughter, Arkie, Whiteley then immersed himself in bohemian New York. But within two years he fled, having failed to break through.
