Die elektrisierende Biographie über 4 junge Burschen aus Essex, die sich zu Superstars und den Meistern des Synthie-Pop entwickelten. Jonathan Millers bahnbrechendes Buch bringt ausführliche Interviews mit dem Gründungsmitglied Vince Clarke und dem Produzenten Gareth Jones und beinhaltet nie zuvor veröffentlichte Interviews mit den Bandmitgliedern.Mit zusätzlichen Eindrücken von Gary Numan, Howard Jones und Thomas Dolby ist dieses Werk ein einzigartiges Portrait einer Band, die fast schon die Kontrolle verloren hatte, als ihr Leben weit neben der Spur verlief und der Lead-Sänger Dave Gahan sich mit seiner Heroinsucht beinahe umbrachte. Doch am Ende überlebten Depeche Mode nicht nur, sondern sie triumphierten regelrecht, indem sie auf ihrem langen und oft mühevollen Weg atemberaubende 40 Millionen Alben verkauften. Dies ist ihre sensationelle Geschichte, hier zum ersten Mal vollständig erzählt.

This book explains the essential elements of Argentine constitutionalism - its federal system of government, its long tradition of judicial review, its hyper-presidentialism and weak legislatures, and its striking respect for international human rights instruments and tribunals - but in the context of Argentina''s political and economic rollercoaster since 1930. That rollercoaster has allowed few elected governments to complete their terms of office, and has wreaked havoc with security of property and contract as desperate governments default on obligations and control prices. Yet Argentine constitutionalism also establishes some limits that governments cannot violate without a loss of legitimacy.The book analyses Argentina''s constitutional structures in light of recurring tendencies in Argentine constitutionalism, such as a preference for aspirational constitutionalism, adoption of foreign models, competition between sectors organised into highly vertical structures, and protection of certain spheres of power from political competition. It also describes how the formal Constitution interacts with a political system that often ignores representational politics. Thus the book analyses Argentine federalism in light of the need of Governors to placate the President to obtain funding for their provinces, studies separation of powers in terms of Presidential emergency powers and the use of those powers to political advantage, and considers judicial review in terms both of the ability of the judiciary to act as a check on a strong President and of the judiciary as a corporate structure with demands that it places on its members. The resulting system, which offers some real protection for civil liberties such as free speech and freedom from arbitrary arrest, shares traits with many developing countries that value popularly elected government but whose institutions fail to adequately ensure checks on the exercise of power and government responsiveness to social needs.

An electrifying new biography about the four Essex lads who became award-winning stadium superstars and champions of synth pop! Jonathan Miller''s groundbreaking book features in-depth interviews with founder member Vince Clarke and producers Gareth Jones and Mark Bell, and contains never-before seen interviews with the band members themselves. With additional input from Gary Human, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby this is a unique portrait of a band that almost lost control when their lives went off the rails and lead singer Dave Gahan''s heroin addiction nearly killed him. In the end Depeche Mode not only survived, they triumphed, racking up a staggering 40 million-plus album sales on the way. This is their amazing story, told in full for the first time. Born out of the post-punk backlash in the early 80''s, Depeche Mode took their name from a phrase in a French style magazine and became the definitive international synth-pop group. Vince Clarke, Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore had started out as an Essex guitar band but it was their bright and upbeat synthesizer-driven brand of pop fronted by Dave Gahan that was to find global acceptance and enjoy unlikely success in the US. Despite a handful of early plaudits in the music press, the group won only intermittent critical acceptance over the years, its often light musical approach contrasting with lyrics that sometimes plunge into darker topics like S&M, religious fetishism and the scourge of capitalism. But whatever the music press said, the fans finally bought into Depeche Mode in a big way. Their Violator tour at the start of the 90s sold millions of records and turned them into major US concert stars. In true rock style, Depeche Mode''s members have suffered their share of internal strife over a long career. Dave Gahan reinvented himself as a lead singer with both a harder musical edge and a near-fatal drug habit, while internal acrimony often marred the later stages of their career. Jonathan Miller has made an exemplary job of telling the Depeche Mode saga in its entirety and goes a long way towards explaining how the group have managed to thrive when almost all their post-punk contemporaries fell by the wayside long ago.

In these essays, five of our most accomplished artists and critics explore questions of technique and interpretation in the performing arts.

In this remarkable book Jonathan Miller considers the functioning of the body as a subject of private experience. he explores our attitudes towards the body, our astonishing ignorance about certain parts of it and inability to read its signals. Taking as his starting point the experience of pain, Dr Miller explores the elaborate social process of ''falling ill'', considers the physical foundations of ''dis-ease'' and looks at the types of individuals man has historically attributed with the power of healing.His explanations are so lucid, so wide-ranging and so whole-heartedly entertaining it is often hard to believe one is reading about the facts of one''s own body and what can go wrong with it. His use of metaphor and suggestive models, particularly when tracing the historical development of certain leading ideas in human physiology, is highly stimulating. Above all, there is a keen originality and sheer enthusiasm of Dr Miller''s approach to his subject which makes THE BODY IN QUESTION such an outstanding book.

How can we tell the difference between a reflection and the real thing? How does a reflection betray its identity? Why is it that when we look at a mirror we can see either our reflection or the mirror but not both at the same time? How and when do we learn to recognise our own reflection? What does a reflective surface look like and how can we distinguish it from a non-reflective surface? Why is it that certain paintings may be turned upside down and still be visually acceptable? How are the various qualities of reflection represented in art - from the diffuse sheen of burnished copper to the realism of silvered glass? In this innovative book, published to accompany the exhibition Mirror Image at the National Gallery, London, Jonathan Miller discusses these puzzling questions and investigates the pictorial representation of reflection - ''sheen, shine, glimmer and gleam'' - through a wonderfully varied selection of paintings and photographs, covering nine centuries, drawn from the National Gallery and other international collections.
