    1 gennaio 1921 – 24 novembre 2011

    Richard Newman è specializzato nello studio dei riformatori americani attraverso tre secoli, comprendendo i primi leader neri, gli abolizionisti e gli ambientalisti moderni. Il suo lavoro approfondisce i profondi cambiamenti che questi individui hanno innescato nella società americana, esplorando le loro motivazioni, strategie e la loro duratura influenza sul progresso storico. La ricerca di Newman offre spunti sulla dinamica dei movimenti sociali e sull'evoluzione dei diritti civili.

      "At Auschwitz, Alma led a women's orchestra - the only women's musical ensemble in the Nazi camps. With violin and baton, steely will and dauntless spirit, she molded a terrified collection of young musicians into an orchestra that became their sole hope of survival. The orchestra women maintained high standards and discipline to play music for the pleasure of their Nazi captors; in exchange they remained alive. Alma saved the lives of some four dozen members of the orchestra; not one was sent to the gas, though she herself died in the camp of sudden illness."--BOOK JACKET.

      John Mayall will forever be associated with a moment in the history of British rock music that produced three of the finest guitarists of our time: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor. But while they may subsequently have eclipsed Mayall's fame, they have never surpassed his influence. A celebration of these achievements, John Mayall Blues Breaker offers a unique insight into the development of rock.
