The Number Ones: Twenty Chart-Topping Hits That Reveal the History of Pop Music
ISBN: 9780306826542 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Tom Breihan launched his Stereogum column in early 2018, "The Number Ones"-a space in which he has been writing about every #1 hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, in chronological order-he figured he'd post capsule-size reviews for each song. But there was so much more to uncover. The column has taken on a life of its own, sparking online debate and occasional death threats.

ISBN: 9780299342906 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mamah Borthwick was an energetic, intelligent, and charismatic woman who earned a master’s degree at a time when few women even attended college, translated writings by a key figure of the early feminist movement, and taught at one of Germany’s best schools for boys.

A definitive account of Blaxploitation cinema—the freewheeling, often shameless, and wildly influential genre—from a distinctive voice in film history and criticism In 1971, two films grabbed the movie business, shook it up, and launched a genre that would help define the decade.

Sweetback upended cultural expectations...
