A winning account of Ozzy Osbourne’s Black Sabbath in their early, glory years.Black Sabbath is one of the most outrageous, yet longest-lived bands in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. This informative, idiosyncratic book paints a vivid picture of the band’s colourful early history — interwoven with all the most crucial news stories of the from Vietnam to Bloody Sunday and the Space program.Where Rat Salad diverges from routes taken by most rock biographies, however, is in its detailed analysis of the band’s first six albums. These chapters occupy about half the book and persuasively explain the appeal of the music, its compositional artistry and its audacious inventiveness.Original and passionate, Rat Salad embraces a remarkably diverse cast of characters — from Ozzy Osbourne himself and the other band members, through to Edith Sitwell, Breugel the Elder, John Milton and Doris Day. The author’s hand looms large in the piece. We see him both as a boy and a man, as he looks back at a life populated with love, sex, drugs and death, played out against a backdrop of crucifixes and power chords.

Photographic portraits should not be the formal, corporate-style poses of yesteryear, which reveal nothing of the subject's emotion, personality or mood - so believe Sarah Plater and Paul Wilkindon. Theirs is a modern, fresh and vibrant approach that aims to capture a moment in the lifestyle of the person or persons in the picture. This authoritative guide contains clear, concise and jargon-busting text that discusses the essential technical aspects of photography from choosing a camera and equipment to an appreciation of exposure, aperture, metering, shutter speed, depth of field and white balance settings, in addition to how natural light, colour and movement affect a photograph. A guide to posing helps to ensure dynamic and arresting images

Che cosa serve per diventare un maestro del ritratto fotografico?Una sensibilità per le variazioni di luce? Una conoscenza profonda dell’apparecchio e degli accessori per l’illuminazione? La capacità di valutare che spostando la testa del soggetto di 2mm si otterrà un notevole miglioramento? Tutti questi elementi sono indubbiamente importanti, ma quello che è fondamentale è il piacere di stare in mezzo alla gente. Troppo spesso si acquistano attrezzature costose per poi restare rintanati in un angolo e riprendere le persone con lo zoom. Al contrario, i buoni ritratti devono essere creati, non solo catturati.

Tato ojedinělá rocková biografie Rat Salad dává nahlédnout do pestré minulosti kapely, detailně se zabývá především jejími začátky, které popisuje na pozadí tehdejších událostí.
