Warhol: Bullet Karma
Warhol: Bullet Karma looks at Warhol's early life and his obsessive determination to "become famous". Warhol is obsessively self conscious, so much so that he finds it impossible to have meaningful physical sexual intimacy. His father left him a contribution toward his education to go to college. This Warhol excelled at and was recognised by his tutor to be "the most gifted and talented student I've ever seen.." We see Andy moving to New York and gets his dream job as a commercial artist. The factory explodes into life with ideas, concepts, wild parties, and the shooting by Valerie Solanas that shook the pop art world. Roost really brings these characters to life "his Solanas bitter and spiteful, his Francis Bacon, hilariously pompous ", he unfolds the story, the lives and tragic losses of those who lived and died in the factory. A darkly witty take on the American icon of pop art. Take a trip back in time to The Factory, Warhol and other important figures, a lesson in pop culture history!"A tour de force!" - Brian Ritchie - Violent Femmes - MONA Tasmania 2019 "Astonishing written and performative skill." - Syke On Stage ***** - MONA 2019
Capitalism
In the wake of the global financial crisis, and ongoing savage government cuts across the world, Garry Leech addresses a pressing and necessary topic: the nature of contemporary capitalism, and how it inherently generates inequality and structural violence. Drawing on a number of fascinating case studies from across the world - including the forced displacement of farmers in Mexico, farmer suicides in India, and deaths from preventable and treatable diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the unsustainable exploitation of the planet's natural resources - Leech provocatively argues that global capitalism constitutes a form of genocide against the poor, particularly in the global South. Essential and eye-opening the book questions the legitimacy of a system that inevitably results in such large-scale human suffering, while going beyond mere critique to offer a more egalitarian, democratic and sustainable global alternative.
The Hill and Beyond
The variety that is children's television drama is recalled in this book; shows such as: "Grange Hill"; "Stig of The Dump"; "The Railway Children"; "The Magician's House"; "The Chronicles of Narnia"; and "The Box of Delights". It lists entries on every British-made children's drama to have been shown on UK screens since 1950. Critical appraisals assess the kind of stories told for children, along with all the technical data and trivia. Programmes from the BBC and ITV are assessed, whether they were adaptations of literary classics or new, contemporary dramas, adventure, fantasy or science fiction.

The Teacher-Student Relationship
It is crucial for students of Vajrayana Buddhism to find an authentic wisdom teacher and know how to properly rely upon that teacher in order to awaken to their buddha nature and thereby attain full enlightenment. Fortunately, the topic has been thoroughly explored by Jamgon Kongtrul in the tenth chapter of The Treasury of Knowledge. This essential text clearly lays out what credentials and qualities one should look for in a wisdom teacher, why a wisdom teacher is necessary, and how the relationship between this teacher and disciple best develops once it is established.
