Who is the green man who stares down enigmatically for the corbels and capitals of churches across Europe? He has been linked to Robin Hood, Pan, the Oak King and the Holly King. For such a blatantly Pagan image to have persisted in Christian churches all over Europe surely implies a tremendous power and significance.

Across the country there are about sixty elite high school wrestlers that are recruited to compete at top ten NCAA Division 1 wrestling programs per year. It is a far smaller number of those athletes who pursue a second sport. There is only one who has also earned a scholarship to play football at The University of Michigan - as a 5'6 running back. Mike Milano had reached this impossible dream. First carry, in front of 111,000 Michigan fans - six yards. Twelve months later he sat helplessly as his name rolled across the ESPN ticker: Michigan running back, Mike Milano, Charged with a Felony - Indefinitely suspended from the Michigan Football Team. He faced up to ten years in prison. The dream world he was living in had disappeared. At the same time, Michigan football was also going through a transition, one that was equally disastrous. In the brutally honest and gripping MICHIGAN MEN?, Mike tells us about that transition from behind the closed doors of Schembechler Hall, and the impact it had on his life.About the Author: Mike Milano grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and currently lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he teaches third grade as a part of the 2011 Teach For America Corps. He hopes that by writing his story, readers will understand the impact that one person can have on another person's life, and the importance of actively pursuing a life in which we make an effort to help each other.

For half a century, Michael Jackson’s music has been an indelible part of our cultural consciousness. Landmark albums such as Off the Wall and Thriller shattered records, broke racial barriers, amassed awards, and set a new standard for popular music. While his songs continue to be played in nearly every corner of the world, however, they have rarely been given serious critical attention. The first book dedicated solely to exploring his creative work, Man in the Music guides us through an unparalleled analysis of Jackson’s recordings, album by album, from his trailblazing work with Quincy Jones to his later collaborations with Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Rodney Jerkins. Drawing on rare archival material and on dozens of original interviews with the collaborators, engineers, producers, and songwriters who helped bring the artist’s music into the world, Jackson expert and acclaimed cultural critic Joseph Vogel reveals the inspirations, demos, studio sessions, technological advances, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that gave rise to an immortal body of work.

Pianist Mike Garson was David Bowie's most frequent musician, on record and onstage throughout Bowie's life. They played over a thousand shows together between 1972 and 2004, and Garson is featured on over 20 of Bowie's albums. Bowie's Piano Man is the first-ever biography of Mike Garson, written by Clifford Slapper, a fellow pianist who also played for Bowie, working closely with him on his last-ever television appearance. The book explores the special relationship between Garson and Bowie, beginning with the extraordinary story of how Garson went overnight from playing in tiny jazz clubs to touring the world on arena rock tours with Bowie after one short phone call and audition. A noted master of jazz, classical, and other genres, Garson has composed thousands of original works and has taught countless students, acting as mentor to many. Bowie's Piano Man explores his roots and childhood in Brooklyn, his ongoing strong presence in the jazz world, and his collaborations with a huge range of other artists in addition to Bowie. Touring and recording with the Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails are given in-depth attention, as is his approach to teaching and creating music. Explored in detail in particular is his commitment to improvisation as a form of composition, a manifestation of his more general dedication to living in the moment and always moving forward – a trait he shared with Bowie.
