NEIL YOUNG: THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY
EVANS, MIKE
Neil Young is a rock icon, with a career unrivaled in its breadth, innovation, and success. This celebration of the
man and his music tells the story of Young's nearly six-decade rock 'n' roll journey. It traces the
singer/songwriter's memorable work with Crazy Horse, Buffalo Springfield, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; his
solo albums and tours; his activism, particularly for green causes and Farm Aid; and his personal life. Classic
and rare images, record artwork, and contemporary press and marketing materials make this a sumptuous,
must-have volume for every fan.

NELSON
SUGDEN, JOHN
Nelson: we think that we are familiar with the man behind the name. But, in this second volume of his
authoritative biography, John Sugden delves behind the myths, strips back the apocrypha, and reveals a figure
both intimately familiar and greatly estranged. Sugden interweaves graphic accounts of the well-known battles of
the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar with Nelson's lesser-known but equally gripping campaigns to liberate the
Italian states from French domination, his role in the blockade of Malta and his turbulent relations with the
volatile Barbary powers, often snatching remarkable triumphs from crippling reverses. But behind his military
prowess was a man riven with paradoxes and schisms at the very heart of his personal life.
