New Releases by Keith Richards

Growing up in Roath Park, Cardiff, John Richards never envisaged a career in the cut-throat corporate ''City'' – London, the world-renowned hub of trading, retail and financial marketing. Spending his childhood obsessed with trainspotting, music and girls, John had no aspirations to become a player in the arena of stocks and retail. But through a combination of luck, hard work and happy ''accidents'' he found himself in the esoteric world of stockbroking. The path of John''s career moved into retail analysis, and his experience provides a highly engaging and insightful account of the machinations and vicissitudes faced by some of today''s most eminent retailers as they struggled to establish themselves in the ever-evolving twentieth century.

Originally published in 1982, this book presents a detailed review of alluvial river form and process and integrates the distinct but related approaches of geomorphologists, geologists and engineers to the subject. It outlines the environmental catchment factors that control the development of channel equilibrium and provides a detailed account of the sediment transport processes that represent the physical mechanisms by which channel adjustment occurs. Where possible it evaluates theoretical analyses in the context of the empirical evidence. Rivers should prove a valuable textbook for geomorphology students on advanced undergraduate courses on river behaviour and will also be of interest to students of hydraulics and sedimentology and to those concerned with civil and environmental engineering, river management and channel design, maintenance and management in the water industry

Italian immigration patterns to Louisiana and Tampa, FL have received a good deal of scholarly attention as two separate phenomena, but they are better understood as informing one another in the evolution of southern thought in regard to Italian immigrants. Italians were the second largest non-black minority group behind Mexicans to be lynched, and in understanding the circumstances surrounding those acts of extrajudicial violence, a pattern is apparent. Lynchings of Italians in Louisiana emerged out of fear of the Black Hand (La Mano Nera), and the Mafia, whereas the sole incident of an Italian being lynched in Tampa occurred as a result of a strike, and the larger specter of labor militancy. Lynchings and local newspapers are analyzed to see how perception of Italians changed over the decades and especially how discourse from one state could translate to the other. Furthermore, Italian interaction with black laborers in Louisiana and with Spanish and Cuban immigrants in Tampa become important in understanding how an organized labor movement--or the lack thereof--emerged.

A series of hydrographic surveys and monitoring instrument deployments were performed within the Georgia Coastal Ecosystem Long Term Ecology Research domain and across the adjacent region of the South Atlantic Bight (SAB). The result were also compared to the finite volume community ocean model (FVCOM) for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystem domain for the year 2014. The region contains three major sounds - Sapelo, Doboy, and Altamaha Sounds - and lies adjacent to the widest portion of the SAB. In 2014, the Winter and Spring seasons experienced high river discharge from the Altamaha River, while Summer and Fall seasonal discharges were relatively low. There was also a strong nor''easter event in early April that corresponded to high northerly winds. Bottom mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) within the sounds indicate that the tides are dominated by the lunar semidiurnal constituent (M2) and the shallow water overtide (M4). Removing the dominant tidal constituents from 24 hour surveys spanning the width of the navigable portion of each of the Sounds results in a net residual export of estuarine waters across all four seasons, with exports being somewhat higher and more to the south during periods of high discharge. Hydrographic surveys on the SAB also show the extent of freshwater intrusion on the shelf with maximal extent during high discharge. Empirical orthogonal function analysis of moorings placed on the SAB during April, 2014 indicate that there are two major modes driving cross shelf flows within the region: along-shore wind stress and freshwater discharge in the coastal waters. Bottom cross shelf flows dictated by wind stress and the impact of winds is larger further offshore. There is only a single major mode apparent in the along shelf flow of coastal waters. The spatial observations are in agreement with model output generated by the FVCOM for the GCE domain.

The first publication to showcase the visual art of the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood Ronnie Wood is one of the foremost rock guitarists in the world, but his artistic talents extend beyond music. Published together for the first time and in Wood’s seventieth year, here is the first comprehensive collection of paintings and other works that exudes the same irrepressible energy as the Rolling Stones themselves. Organized thematically, Ronnie Wood: Artist focuses on rock ’n’ roll performances and depictions of stage performances as only the band could witness. Additional chapters show both the breadth of his instincts and style in works on figures, landscapes, animal paintings, and sculptures. The artist himself provides the captions and insight into the thought and motivation behind each piece. An introduction is provided by Damien Hirst, one of the most successful contemporary artists of the modern era and a rabid fan and collector of Wood’s art. An afterword by guitar legend and Wood’s bandmate Keith Richards brings the book to its conclusion.

This book uncovers exactly what is involved when researchers from different disciplines engage with one another in research projects. The authors identify the opportunities and difficulties involved in interdisciplinary engagement, and challenge current claims about where the greatest difficulties are to be found. The first part of the book introduces interdisciplinarity and identifies key issues that influence our understanding of it. The second part of the book presents the findings of research based on over 50 hours of recording and nearly 450,000 words of transcript drawn from a number of university faculties, concluding with a discussion of how this might inform interdisciplinary practice. The book is accessible to the non-specialist reader while also being of interest to social scientists working in professional and academic communication.

Theodore Augustus Dupree, o Gus, desempenhou papel decisivo para a história do rock. Ao presentear seu neto Keith com o primeiro violão, ele incentivou a formação musical de quem se tornaria o guitarrista dos Rolling Stones. Gus e Eu – a história do meu avô e do meu primeiro violão, livro de estreia de Keith Richards como autor infantil, evoca os anos de convivência e aprendizado do garoto Keith com o velho Gus, com foco em sua paixão comum pela música. Gus tocava vários instrumentos, foi líder de uma banda de baile e a primeira grande influência na vida de Keith. Além do interesse pela música, os dois compartilhavam caminhadas por Londres no pós-guerra. Essas recordações, repletas de afeto, são ilustradas por Theodora Richards – a filha que Keith batizou em homenagem a Gus. Fotos de álbuns da família Richards também fazem parte da obra.

La familia de Keith Richards vivía en Dartford, Inglaterra, y era muy musical. Su madre siempre tenía la radio puesta; su abuela tocaba el piano; su tía y él cantaban a dúo canciones de los Everly Brothers; su abuelo, Theodore Augustus Dupree (Gus), tocaba el violín, el saxo y la guitarra. Keith se crió durante los últimos años de la guerra mundial y la posguerra, cuando no era fácil hallar el lado alegre de Londres. Pero aquel niño y su abuelo pasearon por todos los rincones de la ciudad. Durante esas caminatas visitaban talleres donde se reparaban instrumentos rotos. Un día, Gus le mostró a Keith varios acordes de guitarra y le enseñó a tocar Malagueña. Ésa fue la introducción de Keith a la música y el origen de este conmovedor relato ilustrado por Theodora Richards, hija del autor.

This book offers a unique look at a typical Illinois farm family across seventy years, through letters of friends and family. The Owen family letters will provide insight into the lives and events of a farming family in Illinois in the 1800s. Between 1840 and 1906, Jason and Abigail Owen and their daughter, Bertha Owen Bice, received eighty-eight letters from family and friends, which they saved. More than half of those letters were from Clarence and Mary Owen, Bertha''s brother and sister. Clarence was a soldier who enlisted in the 38th Infantry Regiment, Illinois, at the beginning of the U.S. Civil War. He was seventeen years old and wrote home often. Mary (also known as Mate) was a school teacher who left home at the age of twenty to teach about 200 miles away from her parents. In addition to the normal family activities, the authors of the letters refer to such events as the election of a "neighbor" to the White House, meeting "Crazy" Bill Sherman before the siege of Atlanta, and that "fire in Chicago." The book contains period maps, pertinent family trees, photographs of people, a cemetery containing family gravesites, and the letters themselves. It also contains two original civil war poems. The book cross-references events chronicled in the memoirs of the regimental commander Clarence Owen, one of the primary letter authors. An index to full-names, places and subjects completes this work. The authors are the great grandchildren of Bertha Owen.
