Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. 'Cocaine's not addictive, darling. I should know, I've been taking for years.' That airy disclaimer, uttered by Tallulah Bankhead, has long been an article of faith for coke's legion of fans - and little has changed since cocaine's sensational debut in the Belle Epoque. Alternately glorified and demonised, hailed as a miraculous cure-all or blamed for society's failings, the White Lady has gone global. Today, she is the stimulant of choice for European partiers and stressed-out bankers alike - and everyone from producer to consumer is playing a high-stakes game. In Coke, Natalia Naish and Jeremy Scott recount the sweeping history of cocaine since its first appearance, charting the highs and lows from pre-history to the present day. With personality-led stories of its more notorious users, including Sigmund Freud, Stevie Nicks, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse, the tale is rich in anecdote, often tragic and sometimes hilarious. Neither moralistic nor condoning, Coke: The Biography is a thrilling popular history of a global phenomenon.

Paperback. Condition: New. During the mid-1980s, Riley introduced a new pictorial device, the rhomboid, to her then predominantly vertical stripes, developing her exploration of interplaying tones of green, yellow and orange. This allowed the artist to construct new visual relationships between divergent colours and forms, creating what she terms a 'harmony of contrasts' that animates the entire visual field. Tracking a transitional period in Riley's career, the works on paper in this volume - studies produced between 1984 and 1995 - shift from a focus on the vertical stripe to increasingly complex diagonal compositions. Illustrated in full colour, the works are accompanied by a historic interview with the artist by Robert Kudielka and a text by Riley's archivists Natalia Naish and Alexandra Tommasini, situating these studies in relation to major paintings produced during this period.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Kokain neni navykovy, drahousku, musim to vedet, beru ho uz roky. Tento lehkovazny vyrok, ktery pronesla Tallulah Bankheadova, byl pro zastupy milovniku kokainu dlouhou dobu nezpochybnitelnou zarukou - a od velkolepe premiery kokainu behem Belle Epoque se zmenilo jen malo. Bila dama dobyla svet, stridave oslavovana i demonizovana, vitana jako vselek anebo vinena za selhani spolecnosti. Dnes je to oblibeny stimulans na evropskych vecircich i mezi vynervovanymi bankeri - a kazdy, od vyrobce po uzivatele, hraje vysokou hru. Kniha Natalie Naishove a Jeremyho Scotta vypravi podrobnou historii kokainu od chvile jeho mytickeho zrodu a mapuje jeho cesty po svete od davnych dob az do soucasnosti. Zivotni pribehy znamych uzivatelu, jako byli Sigmund Freud, Stevie Nicksova, Kate Mossova a Amy Winehouseova, doplnuji cele vypraveni, ktere je casto tragicke a obcas i humorne. Kokain: Zivotopis nemoralizuje ani neomlouva, ale prinasi vzrusujici pribeh globalniho fenomenu.
