A Tribe Called Quest • Beastie Boys • De La Soul • Eric B. & Rakim • The Fugees • KRS-One • Pete Rock & CL Smooth • Public Enemy • The Roots • Run-DMC • Wu-Tang Clan • and twenty-five more hip-hop immortalsIt’s a sad fact: hip-hop album liners have always been reduced to a list of producer and sample credits, a publicity photo or two, and some hastily composed shout-outs. That’s a damn shame, because few outside the game know about the true creative forces behind influential masterpieces like PE’s It Takes a Nation of Millions. . ., De La’s 3 Feet High and Rising, and Wu-Tang’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). A longtime scribe for the hip-hop nation, Brian Coleman fills this void, and delivers a thrilling, knockout oral history of the albums that define this dynamic and iconoclastic art form. The format: One chapter, one artist, one album, blow-by-blow and track-by-track, delivered straight from the original sources. Performers, producers, DJs, and b-boys–including Big Daddy Kane, Muggs and B-Real, Biz Markie, RZA, Ice-T, and Wyclef–step to the mic to talk about the influences, environment, equipment, samples, beats, beefs, and surprises that went into making each classic record. Studio craft and street smarts, sonic inspiration and skate ramps, triumph, tragedy, and take-out food–all played their part in creating these essential albums of the hip-hop canon.Insightful, raucous, and addictive, Check the Technique transports you back to hip-hop’s golden age with the greatest artists of the ’80s and ’90s. This is the book that belongs on the stacks next to your wax.“Brian Coleman’s writing is a lot like the albums he covers: direct, uproarious, and more than six-fifths genius.” –Jeff Chang, author of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop “All producers and hip-hop fans must read this book. It really shows how these albums were made and touches the music fiend in everyone.” –DJ Evil Dee of Black Moon and Da Beatminerz “A rarity in mainstream publishing: a truly essential rap history.” –Ronin Ro, author of Have Gun Will Travel

This book is my observation on a few male character traits and how it relates to women. Designed to be an insightful and entertaining look at male and female relationships.

SOWOHL AN, VERSIERTE' PHYSIKER ALS AUCH AN ANFÄNGER gerichtet, entschlüsselt dieses Buch die spezielle Relativität in einer Dimension. Ohne irreführende Prasentismen wie, Längenkontraktion', zeigen Teile I und II wie Zeitdispersionen und Raumzeitgleichheit direkt ohne Postulierung zu einer Licht-Grenzgeschwindigkeit führen. Wie auch früher in European Journal of Physics Aufsätzen dargelegt, verwirft Teil III das populistische, von Lev Okun als "pädagogisches Virus" gebrandmarkte Konzept der, relativistischen Masse', und benutzt zwei vernachlässigte Gleichungen, um Newtons Reaktion gleich Aktion-Prinzip (traditionell falsch interpretiert in der Relativitätstheorie) richtig zu verdeutlichen. Teil IV - ÜBERRASCHUNGEN DER SPHÄRISCHEN GEOMETRIE, bietet neue Einblicke in die relativistische Beschleunigung. Der Eigenzeit einer Rakete verfolgend, spiegelt eine scheinbar unbekannte, kugelförmige, HEMIX'-Spirale ihre skalierte Geschwindigkeit wider, eine, Raumzeit-Eigenlinie', die an die 1537 Loxodrome der Meeresnavigation erinnert.Wie 2016 in Results in Physics beschrieben, erforschen Teil V - EIN OCCAMESQUE-RENNEN und Teil VI - DAS PFARRERS-RELATIVITÄTSEI die Zeitdispersionen und Retro-Separationen von Festschubraketen sowie bisher ignorierte Radarformeln, die verworrene Literaturansätze umgehen und das, Rigor Mortis'-Problem ('starre Bewegung') direkt aussortieren, das durch eine handfächer-formige reelle Metrik-Eigenfläche verkörpert wird. Teil VII - ACHTERBAHN- RAUMZEITEN, löst das Rätsel der, Bell's Raumschiffe': Wie expandiert ein beschleunigendes Medium? Die Hemix-Spirale erzeugt die helikoidale Lösung: eine expandierende reelle Metrik-, HEMIKOIDE'-EIGENFLÄCHE, die Hemices beherbergt, die Inkrementeigenzeiten aufzeichnen. Diese Hemices werden durch expandierende nicht-inertiale Eigenlängen-Helices überquert, die extrinsisch durch, kosmographische' Überlappungen von gemeinsam geteilten Geschwindigkeitszylindern und, Distanzen-Helikoid'-Grenzen validiert werden.Diese Geometrie bestätigt intrinsisch die neue Hemikoide-Eigenfläche, die, laut einem 2017 Results in Physics Folge-Aufsatz, unabhängig von der Relativitätstheorie entsteht. Konsekutive Radartrajektorien, surfen' wie erwartet Horizont-Hemices und überqueren auch jede Expansionshelix des Mediums bei identischen Winkeln und geodätischen Krümmungen, unabhängig von ihren Emissionszeiten. Ein, Opfer' hierbei, ausgedehnten Medien betreffend, die weithin sakrosankte Minkowski-Raumzeit wird, auch in der Speziellen Relativitätstheorie, klar als überverallgemeinert herausgestellt. Ambivalente Reaktionen von Physikern und Institutionen, die durch eine solche Schlussfolgerung verunsichert worden sind, sind im EPILOG-Minkowski-Raumzeit, Post-Wahrheiten' aufgezeichnet.

Private Gardens of the Pacific Northwest is a stunning exploration of 20 lush private gardens. These sprawling estates, small sanctuaries, and artful retreats capture the natural beauty of the verdant Pacific Northwest, each one splashed with hints of boldness, modernity, artistry, and exquisiteness. Capturing the personality of those who cultivate them, these gardens have their stories told through the words of renowned author Brian Coleman, who takes readers through the flourishing natural beauty that the northwestern coast has to offer.

Since its founding in 1797, Zuber & Cie wallpapers' fame has spread far and wide, from King Louis Philippe awarding Jean Zuber the Legion of Honor in 1834 to Jackie Kennedy installing Zuber's "Vues de l'Amérique du Nord" in the White House. According to France Today, the company still uses the same antique woodblocks, the same paint formulas, and the same time-honored processes to create its stunning wallpapers as it did in Jean Zuber's time. Gorgeous displays of friezes, borders, ceiling roses and architectural trompe l'oeil, have been photographed for Zuber in homes in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
