The Life, Death and Legacy of Jon Nödtveidt and Dissection. (S. Monleón). Denna biografi skildrar Jon Nödtveidt, ledare för Dissection, vars två arv formade extremmetal och ockult filosofi. Musikaliskt förenade han 90-talets Death och Black Metal i en unik stil helgad åt satanism, där musik och ideologi smälte samman. Andligt levde han efter sina esoteriska övertygelser med fullständig äkthet, och lämnade ett bestående avtryck både i musiken och den mörka filosofi han omfamnade. 240 sidor, Inbunden bok.

<b>Uncover art history by discovering what distinguishes the great masterpieces.</b><br/><br/> Across eras, painters have pulled on their past and present to create works celebrated far into the future. But while museums are filled with artworks considered genius, it can be difficult to understand why these particular paintings have earnt that title.<br/><br/> In <i>The Art of Reading Art</i>, Matthew Olivier expands his exceptionally popular online series (@ matthewolivierx) to conversationally break down some of history's great paintings, from Bosch's The Conjurer and Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait to Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. In his uniquely welcoming style, Olivier captures, for readers, what these paintings say, and how exactly they say it.<br/><br/> Traveling across periods and styles, Olivier's focus isn't on a timeline of movements, or on creating an academic catalogue. Rather, his writing uncovers what makes 100 of history's artworks so special. From discussions of history and technique to analysis of what details say about a work and its painter, <i>The Art of Reading Art</i> helps readers dive deeper into the paintings without needing an art history degree.

<b>'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.'</b><br/><br/><i>Heroes </i>and <i>Nashville </i>star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.<br/><br/>Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like <i>Remember the Titans</i>, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in <i>Heroes</i>,<i> Nashville </i>(which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."<br/><br/>Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.<br/><br/>In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.<br/><br/>In <i>This Is Me: A Reckoning</i> Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.
