Following the bloodbath that ended his life on Earth and cost him the people he loved, Shadow is on a mission to destroy Daniel Penhallow’s criminal empire. After months of struggling to get inside it, an unexpected ally suggests a simpler plan: Shadow must tell the world the truth about who he is, and admit he’s killed to keep it secret. When the truth shakes the world to its core, powerful Seekers on Earth and Carnathia all want a piece of the action. Things are already heating up in the Outland civil war, and Shadow’s revelations could make or break the peace negotiations. Especially as his new ally is Dakota Silverwood - the youngest Seeker in history, whose ambitions to outsmart his elders all require daring stealth missions that most would consider impossible. With Shadow destined for prison after his confessions, Dakota takes the reins of the mission to restore the Lockyer family to their former power and crush the corrupt members of the Seeker’s Council. Lies, murder, extortion, nothing is off limits to the enemies Dakota and Shadow are about to make. Deep inside the Outland underworld lurks a shapeshifting fugitive and his human soulmate, whose services Dakota must seek out if he’s to get what’s needed for the Lockyer family, and have any hope of defeating Daniel’s empire. If they can’t pull of a virtually impossible mission to the planet Nastrophen together, history could repeat itself for all the wrong reasons. Not to mention that the most powerful Seeker on Earth, Kester Offren, would like nothing better than to watch everyone destroy each other, then clean up the mess with a new society, where the likes of Shadow, Dakota and their allies would not be welcome....

'Hugely entertaining history' - Mojo Between the late '60s and early '80s, design house Hipgnosis created some of the most iconic and ubiquitous album artwork of all time. Their original lifespan coincided with the golden age of the 12-inch LP, beginning just as the Beatles' Sgt Pepper made the record sleeve the ultimate blank canvas and ending just as new technology looked set to usurp vinyl. Having originally been approached to design an album cover for their friends Pink Floyd, students Aubrey 'Po' Powell and Storm Thorgerson would go on to define the visual identity of rock and roll for the next fifteen years, swiftly gaining international prominence for their famed The Dark Side of the Moon artwork. This paved the way for other major musicians to set foot in the surreal photo-design world of Storm and Po, resulting in seminal Hipgnosis creations for the likes of Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Genesis, Black Sabbath, ELO and Yes. In this authorised account, with access to previously unpublished material and exclusive contributions from David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters, Robert Plant and even Aubrey Powell himself, Mark Blake goes behind the scenes of the Hipgnosis partnership to reveal the pioneering ambition and grand vision that led to their success, as well as the clashing egos and artistic differences that undermined it. The Hipgnosis story also offers hitherto-untold insight into some of music's most legendary bands, as viewed through the prism of the people who shaped their imagery and cultural legacy. With the work of Hipgnosis continuing to be referenced, reproduced and revered worldwide, Us and Them serves as a celebration, a cautionary tale and a compelling human drama, exploring the vital intersection between art and music..

'Why don’t young athletes in sport just quit?’ Starting with this question and drawing on existential philosophy, phenomenology and hermeneutics, Talent Development, Existential Philosophy and Sport seeks a deeper understanding of the experience of being a talented young sportsperson striving to become an elite athlete. As an alternative to conventional approaches to talent development governed by a worldview of instrumental rationality, the book introduces key ideas from educational philosophy to describe talent development through the concept of elite-Bildung. It pursues an existential understanding of developing in sport as a process of freedom, self-transcendence, striving for excellence and building up habits. The book highlights a range of ambiguous and intriguing existential phenomena – most prominently wonder, question, expression, humour and repetition – and reveals an existential layer of meaning within talent development in sport, which can facilitate the process of becoming an elite athlete and give young athletes a number of reasons not to quit. By deepening our understanding of performance and development in sport, and the process of becoming an elite player, this book is important reading for any serious student or researcher working in the philosophy of sport, sports coaching, sports development, sport psychology or applied sport science..
