My Early Years

‘There are moments in life that are pure, and which seem to hang in the air, unhitched from the everyday world as we know it. Suspended for a few seconds, they float in their own space and time with their own hidden prospects. For want of a better term, we call these moments “magical” and when we remember them they are cloaked in a halo of special meaning.’ For 14-year-old Johnny Clegg, hearing Zulu street music as plucked on the strings of a guitar by Charlie Mzila one evening outside a corner café in Bellevue, Johannesburg, was one such ‘magical’ moment. The success story of Juluka and later Savuka, and the cross-cultural celebration of music, language, story, dance and song that stirred the hearts of millions across the world, is well documented. Their music was the soundtrack to many South Africans’ lives during the turbulent 70s and 80s as the country moved from legislated oppression to democratic freedom. It crossed borders, boundaries and generations, resonating around the world and back again. Less known is the story of how it all began and developed. Scatterling of Africa is that origin story, as Johnny Clegg wrote it and wanted it told. It is the story of how the son of an unconventional mother, grandson of Jewish immigrants, came to realise that identity can be a choice, and home is a place you leave and return to as surely as the seasons change.

Blood Brothers

The Fatal Friendship Between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X

By: Randy Roberts,Johnny Smith

An “engrossing and important book" (Wall Street Journal) that brings to life the fateful friendship between Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali In 1962, boxing writers and fans considered Cassius Clay an obnoxious self-promoter, and few believed that he would become the heavyweight champion of the world. But Malcolm X, the most famous minister in the Nation of Islam, saw the potential in Clay, not just for boxing greatness, but as a means of spreading the Nation’s message. The two became fast friends, keeping their interactions secret from the press for fear of jeopardizing Clay’s career. Clay began living a double life—a patriotic “good negro” in public, and a radical reformer behind the scenes. Soon, however, their friendship would sour, with disastrous and far-reaching consequences. Based on previously untapped sources, from Malcolm’s personal papers to FBI records, Blood Brothers is the first book to offer an in-depth portrait of this complex bond. An extraordinary narrative of love and deep affection, as well as deceit, betrayal, and violence, this story is a window into the public and private lives of two of our greatest national icons, and the tumultuous period in American history that they helped to shape.

Renowned authors Johnny Saldaña and Matt Omasta combine clear, accessible writing and analytic insight to show that analysis, in its broadest sense, is a process undertaken throughout the entire research experience.

Insightful and highly entertaining!' – Jonathan Maberry, New York Times, on the Coronam series Reeling from the defeat of the armada and Enskaran counter-attacks, Hyrax searches for new revenue to rebuild. Its interests on Maaraw are threatened by revolution, while its mines on Silangan are shut down with native uprising. The occupied worlds bleed money and new unrest.

Enskari’s colony led by Alpin Morgan and his separatist sect of Bucklers is destroyed, the governor returned home to beg for relief and rescue. But Enskari is a different place, the war and a terrible religious purge have decimated his contacts and heightened class tension. The queen’s lover Sir Ethan Sommerled, savior of the planet, Morgan’s one-time patron, is at the center of the controversy. His path is precarious, his power tempered by politics of court. Morgan must find other allies if he is to return to savage Tirgwenin. But there is a third planet obsessed with Jareth’s World. On Temple the prophet knows the secret, sees the threat, and rallies the Saved to defend civilization in a holy and bloody crusade.

Skills in Business

The Role of Business Strategy, Sectoral Skills Development and Skills Policy

By: Johnny Sung,David N Ashton

Johnny Sung and David Ashton are two of the leading scholars in the area of skills. This book combines challenging theories with cutting edge research in a way that should bring skills to life for students. I strongly recommend it for anyone researching or studying in this area. - Irena Grugulis, Leeds University Business School "A much needed contribution to the complex debate of how skills can best be utilised to enhance company performance, with particular emphasis on an innovative sectoral approach. It is a model of clarity in its presentation of the authors’ conceptual models using a historical narrative as well as comparative case studies in both the UK and Singapore." - Bert Clough, Leeds University Business School Public skills policy in most market economies in the last forty years made one repeated error, time and again. We seem to be unable to learn from those mistakes. Consistently, public policies view a wide range of economic and social issues e.g. low productivity, low-skilled jobs, low wage, inequality and in-work poverty as the consequence of skills deficits and a lack of qualifications held by individual workers. Whilst mis-diagnosing the source of the problems and failing to deliver any effective change, public skills policies continue with a policy prescription of ‘more skills’ and ‘more degrees’. If we have not solved the problems with this decade-old approach, why should the same medicine work this time? This book examines the role of public skills policy from a completely different perspective. It starts by challenging the lack of a systematic analysis of the link between skills utilisation and business strategy, and provides a new model for fresh thinking. The book extends this theoretical analysis to examine the implications for the sectoral approach to skills development as a more effective form of public skills policy. David N. Ashton is Emeritus Professor at the University of Leicester and Honorary Professor at Cardiff University. Johnny Sung is at The Institute for Adult Learning, Singapore Workforce Development Agency, Singapore.

Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X

The Fatal Friendship (A Young Readers Adaptation of Blood Brothers)

By: Randy Roberts,Johnny Smith

Celebrate Black History Month and discover the remarkable relationship between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, and how their bond affected the movement for Black pride and independence in the 1960s in this nonfiction book for young readers. ★ "From Civil Rights to Black Pride and Black Lives Matter, there isn’t one social justice movement that these two men haven’t impacted. Purchase for all American history shelves." —SLJ, starred review Freshly adapted for young readers, this in-depth portrait showcases the complex bond between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, revealing how Malcolm helped mold Cassius Clay into Muhammad Ali and influenced his rise as an international symbol of Black pride and Black independence. Yet when Malcolm was expelled from the Nation of Islam for criticizing the conduct of its leader, Elijah Muhammad, Ali turned his back on Malcolm, a choice that some believe tragically contributed to the minister's assassination in February 1965. Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X is the story of how Ali redefined what it means to be a Black athlete in America, informed by Malcolm's leadership. An extraordinary portrait of love, friendship, and power as well as deceit and betrayal, here is a window into the public and private lives of two national icons, and the tumultuous period in the American Civil Rights Movement that they helped to shape.

Johnny Marr, Set the boy free

A autobiografia

By: Johnny Marr

UMA JORNADA NA MENTE CRIATIVA DE JOHNNY MARR, MÚSICO QUE INFLUENCIOU UMA GERAÇÃO DE GUITARRISTAS DESDE THE SMITHS. "Nunca descobri por que me sentia tão atraído pela guitarra quando era criança e por que ela me acompanhou por toda minha vida. Ser guitarrista tem sido minha identidade, para o mundo e para mim mesmo. Tem sido desse jeito desde que vi a primeira em uma vitrine aos cinco anos, e não conheço uma vida diferente disso desde aquele momento." Início da década de 1980, subúrbios de Manchester. O guitarrista jovem Johnny Marr bate à porta de Steven Morrissey, cantor semidesconhecido, alguns anos mais velho que ele, e o convida para fundar uma banda juntos. Desse encontro, nasce um dos grupos de rock mais famosos de todos os tempos: The Smiths. Poucas bandas tiveram tanto impacto quanto The Smiths e poucos músicos são tão celebrados quanto Johnny Marr. No entanto, A autobiografia não é apenas a história de uma das bandas icônicas dos anos 1980. É a história de um menino que cresceu em uma família irlandesa, operária e católica, que rapidamente descobre o poder da música e da arte. É a história de um adolescente que observa com curiosidade e entusiasmo as grandes mudanças sociais na Inglaterra pós-industrial, os movimentos da contracultura juvenil, os novos gêneros musicais — do glam rock ao punk e à new wave. E é também a história de um músico já maduro, que, após a dissolução, dos Smiths não tem medo de tomar novos caminhos. Desde então, Marr não parou de explorar os limites da música. Ele se juntou a bandas como The Pretenders, Modest Mouse, The The e The Cribs, além de ter colaborado com Hans Zimmer. Aqui, pela primeira vez, ele conta sua versão da história. Alternando memórias pessoais, insights musicais e reflexões sobre a sociedade e os costumes, esta obra é uma jornada em uma das mentes criativas mais férteis da música pop contemporânea.
