Traces the authors journey from bassist and founding member of Blondie to writer on consciousness and the esoteric tradition Explores his involvement in Gurdjieffs Fourth Way, Crowleys Thelema, and his relationship with the bestselling author Colin Wilson Reveals how an early love of comic books, science fiction, and fantasy led him to the esoteric traditionNot many members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are also recognized authorities on the Western inner tradition. Gary Lachman is. In 1978, Blondie released the top-ten hit (I am Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear. Gary Lachman (then Gary Valentine) had written the song for his girlfriend after the series of shared dreams and telepathic experiences they had. Thus started his lifelong obsession with the potentials of consciousness.In this memoir, Lachman recounts how he went from being a successful rock and roller to a writer on consciousness and the Western inner tradition. He shares encounters with rockers such as the Ramones, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Iggy Pop and also his time with Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. Living with Blondies Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on New Yorks Bowery, a block from CBGB, the birthplace of punk rock, Lachman discovered occultism via a follower of Aleister Crowley.Post rock and roll, Lachmans occult studies brought him to the Golden Dawn, Manly P. Hall, Gnosticism, and a stint in Crowleys O.T.O. He details his time in the Fourth Way, including a visit to the site of Gurdjieff s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France, and his years studying philosophy and literature and working as a science writer while managing a famous metaphysical bookshop at the height of the New Age movement. Excursions to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury in search of ley lines and pilgrimages to Colin Wilsons home in Cornwall are a few of the highlights of this introspective, often humorous account of a nascent writers struggle from rock and roll to individuation.

A New York Times Book Review Editors Choice · A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2025 · A People Best Book of November 2025 · An NPR Most Anticipated Book of Fall 2025A revealing exploration of a quarter century of cultural stagnation, examining the commercial and technological forces that have come to dominate contemporary culturefrom music and fashion to art, film, TV, and beyondOver the past twenty-five years, pop culture has suffered from a perplexing lack of reinvention. Weve entered a cultural blank spacean era when reboots, rehashes, and fads flourish, while bold artistic experimentation struggles to gain recognition. Why is risk no longer rewarded, and how did playing it safe become the formula for success? Acclaimed cultural historian W. David Marx sets out to uncover the answers.In this ambitious cultural history, Marx guides us through the blur of the twenty-first century so far, from the Obama era to the rise of K-pop, from Paris Hilton to the Marvel cinematic universe, from Beyonce and Taylor Swift to . . . Beyonce and Taylor Swift, whose enduring influence highlights both their adaptability and the broader shifts in pop culture. Combining sociological, economic, and political insights with a deep dive into art, street culture, fashion, and technology, Blank Space dissects the rise of profit-driven, formulaic trends and the shifting cultural norms that often prioritize going viral over innovation. He reveals how backlash against indie snobbery and nineties counterculture gave rise to a counter-countercultureone marked by antiliberal sentiment, the celebration of business heroes, and the increasing influence of industry plants and the elite class. In a world of crypto bros, nepo babies, and AI-driven art, Marx offers readers a much-needed dose of clarity and context.Vibrantly narrated and sharply argued, Blank Space is an essential guide for anyone looking to understand the chaos of the twenty-first century, the trends, tastemakers, and icons who shaped it, and how we might push our culture forward over the next quarter centurythrough renewed emphasis on creativity, community, and the values that transcend mere profit.

Discover succinct instructions for ending the habits that cause you so much suffering in this contemporary exploration of a foundational four-line teaching from Vajrayana Buddhism.How do we break free from the habits and compulsions that bring us suffering?

A Hill Times Top 100 Best Book in 2025FOREWORD BY CHERIE WONGNational security expert Dennis Molinaro reveals the shocking details of Beijings five-decades-long effort to influence and interfere in Canadian political life. From cultivating future political leaders at the end of the Cultural Revolution to the foreign-interference scandals that have shaken present-day Ottawa, this definitive book addresses one of the most urgent global issues of our time.Amidst heightened tensions between Western nations and China, Canadians have found themselves astonished by hostage crises, cyberattacks, harassment of members of our government, and theft of intellectual property worth untold billions of dollars. Guided by Molinaros experience as a historian and China specialist, Under Assault focuses on the actions of the Peoples Republic of Chinas government and its governing party, the Chinese Communist Party, against Canada during the past fifty years.From Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeaus earliest journeys through the Middle Kingdom prior to his election to Parliament in the 1960s, the communist government of the PRC has perceived Canada as a staging ground for spying on and pressuring its ultimate target, the United States. When Canadas first tech giant, Nortel, was plundered of intellectual property by digital spies; while Canada was manipulated into advocating against the independence of Taiwan; and as Chinese Canadians were targeted in the country where they thought theyd escaped Maos terrors, Canadas leaders have too often seen only what they want to see in China: an emerging market of inestimable value and fertile soil for democratic change for a long-tyrannized people. Generations of Communist leadership have gladly allowed Canadas government to labour under these misapprehensions, even when the evidence of Chinas spying, theft and harassment of Canadian citizens has been happening right before its eyes. Canada has rarely allowed itself to believe what the rest of the world has long understood.Using Canada as an early warning Under Assault shows how influence operations quietly shape international democratic institutions, markets, and political decisionsincluding in the United States. Informed by numerous interviews with generations of Canadian politicians, diplomats and bureaucrats; members of diaspora communities targeted by China who have endured this harassment for too long; as well as by new revelations from recently declassified CSIS documents, Under Assault is a timely, eye-opening account of a country compromised by its own illusions in a time of rising global conflict and a burgeoning new world order.

The inspiring, action-packed tale of VF-15, the elite group of U.S. Navy top gun pilots that destroyed more enemy planes than any other Pacific War squadron.David McCampbell ended his tour of duty as the navys ace of aces, with thirty-four confirmed enemy planes shot down, and received the Medal of Honor. His Fighting Fifteen played a major part in bringing an end to the Pacific War. But when the squadron was commissioned in 1943, most of its mensome barely out of their teenage yearswere completely new to aerial combat. A string of deadly crashes during training in their rugged new F6F-3 Hellcats led the men to be booted off their first carrier. With their commander fired and McCampbell installed in his place, the groups future looked bleak.But McCampbell transformed this ragged group of talented but disparate individuals into a selfless team of well-trained aviators, and by the time they formally entered the Pacific War with a series of daring island strikes, they were ready. Nicknamed "Satans Playmates," during six critical months of combat the squadron destroyed a record-setting 660 enemy planes across air and ground. Twenty-six of the men would eventually become aces, ascending to an elite fraternity and immortalizing the Fabled Fifteen. Now, using previously unknown accounts from the aviators themselves, military historian Stephen L. Moore places readers in the heart of the action as McCampbell and his flying band of brothers battle the Japanese navy and its formidable Zero fighters to the death.
