Art is Life - Jerry Saltz - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

"We benefit from Saltz''s rare ability to articulate the mysterious alchemy of great art." New York Times "The world''s most famous and celebrated contemporary art critic." GQ "One of the most powerful art critics today." Time Out "Senior art critic and columnist for New York magazine, Jerry Saltz is as influential as they come. He demystifies the art world in refreshing plain speak and his latest book, focusing on the two decades since 9/11, promises to be another must-listen." Irish Times From the Pulitzer Prize winner (Criticism, 2018) and bestselling author of How to Be an Artist, a deliciously readable survey of the art world in turbulent times. Jerry Saltz is one of our most-watched writers about art and artists, and a passionate champion of the importance of art in our shared cultural life. Since the 1990s he has been an indispensable cultural voice: witty and provocative, he has attracted contemporary readers to fine art as few critics have.Now, in Art Is Life , Jerry Saltz draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times. Chronicling a period punctuated by dramatic turning points - from the cultural reset of 9/11 to the rolling social crises of today - Saltz traces how visionary artists have both documented and challenged the culture. Art Is Life offers Saltz''s eye-opening appraisals of trailblazers like Kara Walker, Hilma af Klint and Jasper Johns; provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince and Marina Abramovic; and visionaries like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. With his signature blend of candour and conviction, Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of the fearless artist. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.Praise for How to Be an Artist : "I wish I had read these rules forty years ago and carried them around like a bible. They are the generous, loving, enthusiastic, bullshit-free advice of a master communicator, just reading them makes me want to charge back into the studio" - Grayson Perry "Being an artist is a lonely pursuit - twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for the rest of your life. Most of the time it hurts. This book will help the pain" - Tracey Emin "Joy is palpable in these pages. We need such thinking right now" - Apollo Magazine

Terrible Humans - Patrick Alley - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Terrible Humans - Patrick Alley - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

''Few people have shown more commitment to investigative journalism than Patrick Alley. His latest book is a vivid, compelling testament to the importance of revealing corruption and wrong-doing and shining a light into dark places, wherever in the world they are.'' -Peter Geoghegan, author of Democracy for Sale A small number of people, motivated by an insatiable greed for power and wealth, and backed by a pinstripe army of enablers (and sometimes real armies too), have driven the world to the brink of destruction. They are the super-villains of corruption and war, some with a power greater than nation state and the capacity to derail the world order. Propping up their opulent lifestyles is a mess of crime, violence and deception on a monumental scale. But there is a fightback: small but fearless groups of brilliant undercover sleuths closing in on them, one step at a time.In Terrible Humans, Patrick Alley, co-founder of Global Witness and the author of Very Bad People , introduces us to some of the world''s worst warlords, grifters and kleptocrats who can be found everywhere from presidential palaces to the board rooms of some of the world''s best known companies. Pitted against them, the book also follows the people unravelling the deals, tracking the money and going undercover at great risk. From the oligarch charged with ordering the killing of an investigative journalist to the mercenary army seizing the natural resources of an entire African country, this is a whirlwind tour of the dark underbelly of the world''s super powerful and wickedly wealthy, and the daring investigators dragging them into the light. *** PRAISE FOR Very Bad People: ''Reads like a John le Carré novel but is, in fact, very real.'' -The Big Issue''Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth.'' -Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond''Very Bad People reads like a non-stop high-speed chase'' -David Farr, Screenwriter, The Night Manager''Simply riveting. Don''t miss it.'' -Misha Glenny, author of McMafia''A clear-eyed account of a world poisoned by dark money, and a welcome reminder that resistance is possible.'' - Irish Times

Very Bad People - Patrick Alley - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

***** ''Reads like a John le Carré novel but is, in fact, very real.'' - The Big Issue '' Very Bad People would be a hugely enjoyable thriller if it wasn''t all true.'' - Isabella Tree, author of Wilding ''Global Witness are fearless.'' - Gordon Roddick, Campaigner and Co-Founder of the Body Shop ''Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth.'' - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond '' Very Bad People reads like a non-stop high-speed chase as our fighters against corruption hunt down a litany of criminals and con-men.'' - David Farr, Screenwriter, The Night Manager ''The story told in this book of three youthful idealists is simply riveting. Don''t miss it.'' - Misha Glenny, author of McMafia ''Alley has produced a clear-eyed account of a world poisoned by dark money, and a welcome reminder that resistance is possible. As it turns out, his book is even more timely than he could have hoped.'' - Irish Times ''This book is inspirational. It shows how young people with sufficient passion and intelligence have the capacity to go after some of the most powerful governments and corporations and shame, humiliate and just push governments to support important reforms that can make this a more decent world.'' - Frank Vogl, Co-Founder of Transparency InternationalArms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley''s revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the ''shadow network'' that enables them.VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world''s most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager ''s Richard Roper. One dictator''s son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.Patrick Alley''s book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.

The Accidental Footballer - Pat Nevin - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Accidental Footballer - Pat Nevin - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

*** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ''A heroic outsider - a pleasure to read.'' - The Guardian ''A fulsome evocation of football before the Premier League.'' - The i ''Such a good storyteller...joyous.'' - Financial Times ''Honest, raw, revealing and very funny. How to live a life and career to the full. Insightful book about the most successful outsider inside football ever...'' - Henry Winter, Chief Football Writer, The Times ''Pat is a wonderful one-off...and this is the story of why that is.'' - John Murray, Chief Sports Correspondent, BBC Radio 5 Live ''Unusually vibrant and elegant with heroic doses of humour, insight and self-effacement, this is an absolute must-read for the football connoisseur.'' - Omid Djalili ''The biggest influence of my professional career both on and off the pitch.'' - Graeme Le Saux ''I grew up captivated by Pat Nevin the player. As a man he taught me even more about the beauty of the game. One of football''s great mavericks, and Chelsea''s greatest players. And he can spin a mean tune too.'' - Sam Matterface ''I used to walk miles to see Pat Nevin play football and I''d do the same now to read his thoughts. Always challenging, always entertaining.'' - Lord Sebastian Coe ''A refreshingly honest and thought-provoking autobiography. As deftly delivered as some of Pat''s ball skills in his 1980''s heyday.'' - ToffeeWeb Pat Nevin never wanted to be a professional footballer. His future was clear, he''d become a teacher like his brothers. There was only one problem with this - Pat was far too good to avoid attention. Raised in Glasgow''s East End, Pat loved the game, playing for hours and obsessively following Celtic. But as he grew up, he also loved Joy Division, wearing his Indie ''gloom boom'' coat and going on marches - hardly typical footballer behaviour!Placed firmly in the 80s and 90s, before the advent of the Premier League, and often with racism and violence present, Pat Nevin writes with honesty, insight and wry humour. We are transported vividly to Chelsea and Everton, and colourfully diverted by John Peel, Morrissey and nights out at the Hacienda. The Accidental Footballer is a different kind of football memoir. Capturing all the joys of professional football as well as its contradictions and conflicts, it''s about being defined by your actions, not your job, and is the perfect reminder of how life can throw you the most extraordinary surprises, when you least expect it. Sunday Times bestseller in May 2021.
