New Releases by Steve Turner

Did you know? 36% of Bob Dylan's songs published between 1961 and 1968 had biblical references, including his 1964 hit "The Times They Are A-Changin.'" The book of Ecclesiastes has been a great inspiration on popular music including the song "Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Birds, the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon, and "Desperado," the 1973 hit by The Eagles, among others. Paul Simon once advised a young prospective lyricist to raid the Bible for memorable phrases. "Just steal them," he said, "That's what they're there for." There's no question that Scripture has influenced music since the first ever song was penned. In Turn! Turn! Turn! author and music connoisseur, Steve Turner, takes an in-depth look at the lyrics and cultural context of 100 of the greatest songs from the 1930s to today to reveal an often overlooked or ignored strand of influence in popular music -- the Bible. Indeed, some of the "greats" -- including Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bono, Johnny Cash, Sting, and others -- have repeatedly returned to the Bible for such sustenance, as well as musical inspiration and a framework with which they can better understand themselves. "I hope the book prompts, provokes, and intrigues as it reveals this often-hidden history," writes Steve Turner. You'll never listen to your favorite song or popular tune the same way again after discovering how the Bible has influenced music.

Have you ever wondered how a single idea could completely change the way we think about money, power, and trust? Imagine a future where banks aren''t the gatekeepers, where financial systems are consistently fair and open to everyone, and where possibilities seem limitless. That future isn''t some far- off fantasy-it''s already here. At the center of this transformation are Bitcoin and blockchain, two revolutionary forces reshaping our world. This book, The Bitcoin Revelations: How Bitcoin and Blockchain Are Shaping the World, is your ultimate guide to understanding this digital revolution. I''m not here to throw a bunch of technical jargon at you. Instead, I break everything down in plain, everyday language. Whether you''re brand-new to the subject or you''ve heard the buzz but haven''t dug deeper, this book will help you connect the dots. You''ll learn why Bitcoin was created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, when trust in big banks collapsed, and how it''s become a symbol of a more equitable way forward. You''ll finally understand blockchain-what it is, why it''s important, and how it''s already solving real-world problems, from improving transparency in global systems to safeguarding personal data. And this isn''t just a story about technology. It''s about people-real people whose lives are being transformed by Bitcoin and blockchain. It''s about the small-scale farmer in a developing country who now has access to financial tools or the entrepreneur building a fairer supply chain. Of course, there are challenges too. The energy concerns around Bitcoin mining and fears about job displacement are real, but so are the innovative solutions emerging to tackle them. This revolution is about collaboration, innovation, and creating a future that works for everyone. This book is for anyone curious about what''s happening and where we''re headed. It''s for students, entrepreneurs, dreamers, and skeptics alike. By the time you turn the last page, you''ll not only understand the technology but also feel inspired to think about your own role in this global shift. So, are you ready to join the revolution? Get the book today! And start your journey into the future of money, technology, and a fairer world. The next step is yours...

Se existe um divisor de águas na trajetória dos Beatles, este sem dúvida é o ano de 1966. Ele marcou momentos importantes na vida de John, Paul, George e Ringo, afastando-os cada vez mais da imagem de meros ídolos adolescentes e transformando-os em artistas respeitados. Foi nesse ano que eles gravaram o seminal álbum Revolver, deixaram de compor apenas canções sobre amor e garotas, se envolveram ainda mais com LSD, fizeram sua última turnê e desenvolveram projetos pessoais e tudo isso afetaria não apenas o futuro deles como grupo, mas também toda a cultura pop ocidental. Em Beatles 1966, o jornalista Steve Turner faz uma deliciosa investigação da trajetória do quarteto de Liverpool ao longo desses 12 meses e nos transporta de volta a uma intensa era, que até hoje influencia o mundo onde vivemos. ELOGIOS * Lendo Beatles 1966, me sinto lá mesmo e onde mais você gostaria de estar se ama música - Bono * 1966 foi o ano de meu casamento com George, nossa primeira visita à Índia e o último show dos Beatles. Foi realmente uma época empolgante de inovação e exploração [...]. Tudo é capturado neste livro de maneira vívida e com muitos detalhes. - Pattie Boyd John, Paul, George e Ringo começaram a carreira como pop stars de sucesso arrebatador, levando fãs adolescentes à histeria, e terminaram sendo considerados grandes e revolucionários músicos, responsáveis por dar início a uma nova era na música mundial. O ano que marcou o início dessa mudança na carreira dos Beatles foi 1966, ano de seu último show e também de Revolver, o primeiro álbum criado para ser ouvido em casa, e não executado ao vivo. Foi o ano em que os Beatles arriscaram sua popularidade ao deixar de fazer turnês, ao gravar canções que exploravam estados alternativos de consciência, ao se envolver com ideias de vanguarda e ao se expressar de maneira mais aberta a respeito de política, guerra e religião. Foi o ano em que seus discos foram queimados nos Estados Unidos (depois da polêmica afirmação de John de que o grupo era mais popular que Jesus), o ano em que foram hostilizados nas Filipinas por esnobar a primeira-dama do país, o ano em que John conheceu Yoko Ono e que Paul concebeu a ideia para um dos mais importantes discos da história da música, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Interessado em entender melhor por que 1966 foi tão transformador na vida dos rapazes de Liverpool, o jornalista e especialista em Beatles Steve Turner decidiu escrever uma obra que reconstituísse todos os passos do grupo nesse ano. O resultado é Beatles 1966, que lança um cuidadoso olhar sobre os eventos históricos que os impactaram, as canções que compuseram e gravaram, as influências musicais que sofreram e as ideias que permitiram que eles transformassem para sempre a cultura popular. Ao conversar com muitos que conviveram com o quarteto e recorrendo a entrevistas antigas com figuras-chave como George Martin, Timothy Leary, Ravi Shankar e os próprios Beatles, Turner narra momentos saborosos e pouco conhecidos, compondo uma irresistível obra para fãs de Beatles e de música.

A riveting look at the transformative year in the lives and careers of the legendary group whose groundbreaking legacy would forever change music and popular culture. They started off as hysteria-inducing pop stars playing to audiences of screaming teenage fans and ended up as musical sages considered responsible for ushering in a new era. The year that changed everything for the Beatles was 1966—the year of their last concert and their first album, Revolver, that was created to be listened to rather than performed. This was the year the Beatles risked their popularity by retiring from live performances, recording songs that explored alternative states of consciousness, experimenting with avant-garde ideas, and speaking their minds on issues of politics, war, and religion. It was the year their records were burned in America after John’s explosive claim that the group was "more popular than Jesus," the year they were hounded out of the Philippines for "snubbing" its First Lady, the year John met Yoko Ono, and the year Paul conceived the idea for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. On the fiftieth anniversary of this seminal year, music journalist and Beatles expert Steve Turner slows down the action to investigate in detail the enormous changes that took place in the Beatles’ lives and work during 1966. He looks at the historical events that had an impact on the group, the music they made that in turn profoundly affected the culture around them, and the vision that allowed four young men from Liverpool to transform popular music and serve as pioneers for artists from Coldplay to David Bowie, Jay-Z to U2. By talking to those close to the group and by drawing on his past interviews with key figures such as George Martin, Timothy Leary, and Ravi Shankar—and the Beatles themselves—Turner gives us the compelling, definitive account of the twelve months that contained everything the Beatles had been and anticipated everything they would still become.

Cet album raconte l''histoire des chansons des Beatles : les faits, les lieux et les personnages qui les ont inspirées. Et, pour la première fois, les paroles de toutes les chansons sont reproduites intégralement. Depuis leur premier succès, « Love Me Do » jusqu''à Abbey Road et Anthology 1-3, toutes les chansons composées par les Beatles entre 1962 et 1970 sont passées au crible d''une passionnante enquête journalistique menée auprès de John, Paul, George et Ringo, mais aussi auprès de leurs amis et des musiciens avec lesquels ils ont travaillé. Quelles petites histoires se cachent derrière "Yesterday", "Yellow Submarine", "She Loves You" ? Existe-t-il vraiment une Eleanor Rigby ? Qui étaient Sexy Sadie, Mr Kite, Polythene Pam, Julia ? Quel est le sens caché d''"Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" ? Quel était le secret de la réussite du tandem Lennon-McCartney ? Ces chansons font tellement partie de nous-mêmes que chercher à découvrir leurs secrets, c''est s''embarquer dans l''exploration de notre propre passé, redécouvrir les années soixante et la vie des Beatles.
