Young Winstone
Ray Winstone's amazing talent for bringing out the humanity buried inside his often brutal screen characters - violent offender in 'Scum', wife-beater in 'Nil by mouth', retired blagger in 'Sexy beast' - has made him one of the most charismatic actors of his generation. But how do these uncompromising and often haunting performances square with his off-duty reputation as the ultimate salt-of-the-earth diamond geezer? The answer lies in the East End of his youth: the home of gangsters, bank robbers, Bobby Moore, and family and friends who looked out for each other ...
Our Young Family

Black Eagle Child
A classic of Native American literature, Black Eagle Child uses a rich mix of verse, prose narrative, and letters to tell Edgar Bearchild's journey to adulthood. Although the backdrop of much of Young Bear's novel may be familiar -- the conflicts over race, drugs, Vietnam and others that gripped America in the fifties, sixties, and seventies -- Bearchild recounts his coming-of-age story from a distinct vantage point, as a member of the Mesquakie nation. From his childhood delight in Jell-O to his induction into the faith of his elders, Bearchild's journey is a uniquely American one.
Remnants of the First Earth
The American Indian author of Black Eagle Child paints “a portrait of a writer struggling both to preserve his people’s heritage and to turn it into art” (The New York Times Book Review). Ray A. Young Bear’s work has been called “magnificent” by the New York Times and “a national treasure” by the Bloomsbury Review. Dazzlingly original, but with deep roots in his traditional Mesquakie culture, Young Bear is a master wordsmith poised with trickster-like aplomb between the ancient world of his forefathers and the ever-encroaching “blurred face of modernity.” Remnants of the First Earth continues the story of Edgar Bearchild—Young Bear’s fictionalized alter ego—which be...
Young Man
This volume documents the stages of work and materials used to realize Charles Ray's "Young Man" (2012), a 1,500-pound sculpture in solid stainless steel. Printed on unbound pages, this publication shows the development of Ray's sculpture alongside a set of life-size details that can be reconfigured into two full-scale photographs of the work.
Live Fast, Love Hard
As one of the best-known honky tonkers to appear in the wake of Hank Williams’s death, Faron Young was a popular presence on Nashville’s music scene for more than four decades. The Singing Sheriff produced a string of Top Ten hits, placed over eighty songs on the country music charts, and founded the long-running country music periodical Music City News in 1963. Flamboyant, impulsive, and generous, he helped and encouraged a new generation of talented songwriter-performers that included Willie Nelson and Bill Anderson. In 2000, four years after his untimely death, Faron was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Presenting the first detailed portrayal of this lively and unpredicta...
Eastwords
This book storms the bastion of Englishness, irreverent, wity and compelling. High drama meets folktale in this story about colonizers, and the colonized set against a background of treachery and menace, grace and redemption.
