Dieses außergewöhnliche Buch erzählt nicht nur die Geschichte des Basketballsports von James Naismith über Dr. J bis LeBron James und Dirk Nowitzki. Vielmehr verknüpft Autor Philipp „Dembo" Dembowski die sportliche Entwicklung mit der kulturgeschichtlichen – vom Kampf der afroamerikanischen Spieler in den USA für mehr Gleichberechtigung, über die Herkunft lässiger Baller-Outfits, fette Rhymes und Hip-Hop-Beats bis hin zur Frage, welches Basketballschuhdesign das beste aller Zeiten ist. Ein Buch, das kracht wie ein Slam Dunk von Michael Jordan oder ein Alley-Oop von Shaquille O'Neal.

La musica che abbiamo conosciuto e amato nel Novecento è ancora viva? Oppure ha già concluso il suo ciclo evolutivo, lasciando spazio a un nuovo, misterioso orizzonte? Gino Castaldo, uno dei più autorevoli critici musicali italiani, ci guida in un viaggio dentro la più potente mutazione del fenomeno musicale degli ultimi decenni, forse della sua intera storia, e prova a darle un nome. Una trasformazione che non riguarda solo i suoni, ma l'intero processo creativo, i modi di produzione, distribuzione e consumo.

Story0
Люди поют и играют на музыкальных инструментах с древнейших времен, но проследить непрерывную историю музыки невозможно, слишком она разнообразна и неоднородна. Поэтому Эндрю Форд—композитор, исследователь и ведущий популярной радиопрограммы о музыке—предлагает иной подход. Он выделяет ключевые темы в истории музыки и показывает, как они проявлялись в разных культурах и эпохах—от ритуальных песнопений и первых систем записи звуков до современных лейблов и стриминговых платформ.
