Denim and Leather
In the late 1970s, aggressive, young bands are forming across Britain. Independent labels are springing up to release their music. But this isn't the story of punk. Forget punk. Punk was a flash in the pan compared to this. This is the story of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a musical movement that changed the world.
From this movement - given the unwieldy acronym NWOBHM - sprang streams that would flow through metal's subsequent development. Without NWOBHM there is no thrash metal, no death metal, no black metal. Without the rise of Iron Maiden, NWOBHM's standard bearers, leading the charge to South America and to South Asia, metal's global spread is slower. Without the NWOBHM bands - who included Def Leppard, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others - the international uniform of heavy metal - the 'battle jacket' of a denim jacket with sleeves ripped off, and covered with patches (usually sewn on by the wearer's mum), worn over a leather biker jacket - does not exist: 'Denim and leather brought us all together,' as Saxon put it.
No book has ever gathered together all the principals of British heavy rock's most fertile period: Jimmy Page, Rick Allen, Michael Schenker, Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, Ritchie Blackmore, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, David Coverdale, Cronos, Biff Byford, Joe Elliott, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Phil Mogg, Robert Plant, Tony Wilson, Lars Ulrich, Pete Waterman to name a few.
In Denim and Leather, these stars tell their own stories - their brilliant, funny tales of hubris and disaster, of ambition and success - and chart how, over a handful of years from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of unlikely looking blokes from the provinces wearing spandex trousers changed heavy music forever.
This is the definitive story about the greatest days of British heavy rock.

Világverseny a berekben
A könyv címe többféleképpen is értelmezhető, erre utal a két kötőjeles írásmód. Ha tehát titkos számítógépek történetét várja az Olvasó, éppúgy nem fog csalódni, mintha a számítógépek titkos történetét szeretné megismerni. E könyv célja ugyanis éppen az, hogy ne maradjanak örökre titokban a számolás �gépesítésének� kevesek által ismert, titkos vonulatai. Az eVilág Kiskönyvtár sorozat új kötetét bátran nevezhetjük hiánypótlónak, nemcsak mert eddig kevésbé ismert kísérletekről és eredményekről rántja le a leplet, hanem mert a számolás technikájának kétezer éves kronológiáját követi nyomon, a kínai maradéktételtől a holografikus memóriáig. E kísérletek részben megelőzték a közismert Neumann-féle számítógépek történetét, részben azzal párhuzamosan fejlődtek, a láthatatlan �színfalak mögött�, a rejtjelfejtés, vagy éppen a csendes magány titkos birodalmában. A történet ugyanis bizonyos ponton összefonódott a rejtjelfejtés próbálkozásaival, amelyek a titkosszolgálatok féltve őrzött kincseit képezve maradtak a XX. század rejtett tanúi. Így bontakozik ki e könyv lapjain egy napjainkig titokban, vagy éppen az elhallgatás homályában tartott számítógép-történet, amely talán teljesen megváltoztathatta volna a mai számítástechnika e-világunkat behálózó képét. A kötet tartalma ma már megismerhető tényekre épül, mégis megdöbbentő az a gondolatkísérlet, amelyre csábítja az Olvasót. Vajon milyen lenne (lehetne) e világunk, ha a titkos történet válik mindennapjaink valóságává, ha a Szilícium Völgyben D. N. Lehmer és fia D. H. Lehmer, vagy A. Turing korukat jóval megelőző konstrukcióira épülő csipek hódítják meg a világ egyik legnagyobb üzletágát? Vajon az az alapelveiben párhuzamos architektúra, amely akkor a számítógépek működésének természetes alapjává vált volna, ma milyen technikai korlátokat ostromolna? Vajon e merőben más számítógép-felépítés esetén, milyen távolságban lenne ma a mesterséges és a természetes intelligencia? A történet nyilvánosságra kerülése még indokoltabb, ha figyelembe vesszük, hogy 2002-ben volt Charles Babbage 210., Alan M. Turing 90., 2003-ban Blaise Pascal 380., Neumann János 100., 2004-ben pedig Norbert Wiener 110. születési évfordulója. Hiszen e mozaikokból válik érthetőbbé annak a számtalan kisebb-nagyobb óriásnak a szellemi nagysága, akiknek munkássága végül a XX. század kihívásaira adott napjainkig ható választ. A kötet tehát a �teljes információ� rögzítésének teljesíthetetlen igényével farag �holografikus szobrot� eme óriások tiszteletére.

The Customer-Funded Business - Start, Finance, or Grow Your Company with Your Customers' Cash
Who needs investors?
More than two generations ago, the venture capital community – VCs, business angels, incubators and others – convinced the entrepreneurial world that writing business plans and raising venture capital constituted the twin centerpieces of entrepreneurial endeavor. They did so for good reasons: the sometimes astonishing returns they've delivered to their investors and the astonishingly large companies that their ecosystem has created.
But the vast majority of fast-growing companies never take any venture capital. So where does the money come from to start and grow their companies? From a much more agreeable and hospitable source, their customers. That's exactly what Michael Dell, Bill Gates and Banana Republic's Mel and Patricia Ziegler did to get their companies up and running and turn them into iconic brands.
In The Customer Funded Business, best-selling author John Mullins uncovers five novel approaches that scrappy and innovative 21st century entrepreneurs working in companies large and small have ingeniously adapted from their predecessors like Dell, Gates, and the Zieglers:
- Matchmaker models (Airbnb)
- Pay-in-advance models (Threadless)
- Subscription models (TutorVista)
- Scarcity models (Vente Privee)
- Service-to-product models (GoViral)
Through the captivating stories of these and other inspiring companies from around the world, Mullins brings to life the five models and identifies the questions that angel or other investors will – and should! – ask of entrepreneurs or corporate innovators seeking to apply them. Drawing on in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs and investors who have actually put these models to use, Mullins goes on to address the key implementation issues that characterize each of the models: when to apply them, how best to apply them, and the pitfalls to watch out for.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur lacking the start-up capital you need, an early-stage entrepreneur trying to get your cash-starved venture into take-off mode, an intrapreneur seeking funding within an established company, or an angel investor or mentor who supports high-potential ventures, this book offers the most sure-footed path to starting, financing, or growing your venture.
John Mullins is the author of The New Business Road Test and, with Randy Komisar, the widely acclaimed Getting to Plan B.

Harry Potter 5 und der Orden des Phoenix
Es sind Sommerferien und wieder einmal sitzt Harry bei den unmöglichen Dursleys im Ligusterweg fest. Doch diesmal treibt ihn größere Unruhe denn je - Warum schreiben seine Freunde Ron und Hermine nur so rätselhafte Briefe? Und vor allem: Warum erfährt er nichts über die dunklen Mächte, die inzwischen neu erstanden sind und sich unaufhaltsam über Harrys Welt verbreiten? Noch weiß er nicht, was der geheimnisvolle Orden des Phönix gegen Du-weißt-schon-wen ausrichten kann ... Als Harrys fünftes Schuljahr in Hogwarts beginnt, werden seine Sorgen nur noch größer. Die neue Lehrerin Dolores Umbridge macht ihm das Leben zur Hölle. Sie glaubt Harry einfach nicht, dass Voldemort zurück ist. Doch bald schlägt der Dunkle Lord wieder zu. Nun muss Harry seine Freunde um sich scharen, sonst gibt es kein Entrinnen.
