Summary

Ballet's Hidden Pain reveals the demanding reality behind the art form's graceful facade. It delves into the physical and psychological tolls dancers endure, challenging the romanticized image of ballet. Dancers often begin rigorous training at a young age, pushing their bodies to extreme limits. This pursuit of perfection can lead to a host of injuries, from stress fractures to joint problems, and contribute to mental health challenges like body image issues and performance anxiety. The book explores these issues through scientific research, interviews, and statistical data, connecting exercise science, sports medicine, and psychology to understand the dancer's experience. Chapters progress from introducing ballet training principles, to analyzing common injuries, and finally proposing strategies for injury prevention and mental health support. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the sacrifices made in ballet.

    A compact and charming history of the font we love to hate by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
 
 
 
Since its improvised creation at Microsoft in the mid-1990s, Comic Sans has become one of the most used and talked-about typefaces of the digital age. The subject of April Fools pranks and endless internet discourse, it has spawned a movement to ban it, inspired revivals and spinoffs, and continues to be widely promoted by educators. In this delightful history, bestselling author Simon Garfield tells the story of how Comic Sans emerged from speech bubbles on educational software to become one of the most recognized—and reviled—typefaces on earth. He considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on, explores how new fonts emerge with changing times and technology, and meets die-hard Comic Sans adherents and haters. He concludes the book by asking the unimaginable: Could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?

    “An excellent look at how the Police accomplished success . . . West is especially good at examining how the band used the nascent MTV to define themselves.” ―Publishers Weekly   During the 1980s, The Police were one of the biggest bands in the world. Yet after only five albums—and at the peak of their popularity—they disbanded, and Sting began a solo career that made him a global pop star. Today, artists from Puff Daddy to Gwen Stefani credit The Police and Sting as major influences on their own work.   In this book, Aaron J. West explores the cultural and musical impact of Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers, and Sting. West details the distinctive hybrid character of The Police’s musical output, which would also characterize Sting’s post-Police career. Sting’s long-lived solo career embodies the power of the artful appropriation of musical styles, while capitalizing on the modern realities of pop music consumption. The Police—and Sting in particular—were pioneers in music video, modern label marketing, global activism, and the internationalization of pop music.  Sting and The Police: Walking in Their Footsteps is a feast for fans—and by placing the band within its various musical, cultural, commercial, and historic contexts, it’s also fascinating reading for anyone interested in global popular music culture.
