Starring screen legend Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly in her first significant film role, High Noon was shot on a lean budget over just 32 days but achieved instant box-office and critical success.

O lendário produtor musical Rick Rubin é um mestre em ajudar artistas dos mais variados gêneros a se conectarem com a fonte de sua criatividade para descobrir quem são de verdade e o que de melhor têm a oferecer ao mundo. Ao longo de anos estimulando as pessoas a transcenderem suas limitações e resgatarem esse estado puro de inocência e inspiração dentro de si, Rubin compreendeu que ser artista não tem a ver com criar obras de arte; tem a ver, sim, com uma maneira peculiar de estar no mundo e de se relacionar com ele.

Serj Tankian will be the first to admit that his band, System of a Down, was “unlikely a chart-topper as had ever existed in modern music history: a band of Armenian-Americans playing a practically unclassifiable clash of wildly aggressive metal riffs, unconventional tempo-twisting rhythms, and Armenian folk melodies, with me alternately growling, screaming, and crooning lyrics that could pivot from avant-garde silliness to raging socio-political rants in the space of a single line.” After all, as Serj concedes, “it’s not easy listening.”

Foi quando entrou em cena o intrépido produtor João Carlos Botezelli, o Pelão, que tomou para si a missão de registrar alguns dos maiores compositores de nossa cultura.

In Teaching to Transgress, Bell Hooks - writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual - writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Bell Hooks speakes to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.
