Fine Art of Self Destruction Jesse Malin - LP 5016958000455

This book is the story of one of the greatest football teams in the history of the NFL: the '85 Bears. They were, for a brief, magical moment, a band of eccentrics who went from nobodies to rock stars and cult figures—they took America on a wild ride in the middle of one of the wildest times in history. The Rise and Self-Destruction of the Greatest Football Team in History reveals all the stories from that year, like how Walter Payton ended up hiding in a storage closet and why the team collapsed under the weight of its own greatness.

He exposes the weasels and the heroes behind the songs we all know, and gives us a front row seat as the music industry trashes its own hotel room."---Jim Sheeler. Bright & quite presentable.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Dead Express was formed in January 2014 with the sole intention of buying expensive gear and having a blast. That, and to play live at least once before the end of the year. Said and done; in September their goal was achieved. The band played a live set at a microbrewery just outside the city of Nykping. From this point onward, things steadily unfolded and their live gigs are close to 20 in such a short time, including a performance at the international Peace &

STUDY OF THE SELF-DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS. A history of the United Nations Organization centered on the increasingly paralyzed, the hitherto unapprised, international secretariat. The author's fifth book.

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with more than one million fatalities each year. During the post-war period, the rate of completed suicides has risen dramatically, especially among young men and Aboriginal peoples living in the Western world. While this has naturally led to growing concern amongst health care practitioners and policy experts, relatively little is known about the history of attempted and completed suicide. Histories of Suicide is the first book to examine the history of suicide in diverse national contexts, including Japan, Scotland, Australia, Soviet Russia, Peru, United States, France, South Africa, and Canada, to reveal the different social, political, economic, and cultural factors that inform our understanding of suicide.This interdisciplinary collection of essays assembles historians, health economists, anthropologists, and sociologists, who examine the history of suicide from a variety of approaches to provide crucial insight into how suicide differs across nations, cultures, and time periods. Focusing on developments from the eighteenth century to the present, the contributors examine vitally important topics such as the medicalization of suicide, representations of mental illness, psychiatric disputes, and the frequency of suicide amongst soldiers.An illuminating volume of studies, Histories of Suicide is a fascinating examination of the phenomenon of self-destruction throughout different historical periods and nations.
