    Since 1972, when he was eleven, Dylan Jones has been regularly buying records in a 30-year binge of glam rock, punk, disco and rap. His life is full of disparate pop stars and their disparate records. But now, the iPod has changed everything, because Apple CEO Steve Jobs and his chief designed Jonathan Ive's invention has enabled listeners to put all their music in one place. Dylan Jones' book is about the iPod, its astonishing effect on the music industry, its invention and marketing. It's also about how a little plastic and chrome digital music player no bigger than a mobile phone has irrevocably altered our relationship with music. This book features the design and creation of the iPod and the rejuvenation of Apple. It is also a history of Dylan Jones' personal journey through music, and his own obsessions with the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Burt Bacharach, punk, hip-hop, Van Morrison and U2. He selects the best 100 jazz records ever made and shows how to make your own definitive 175-song Beatles album. There are comprehensive lists and essays about what you could put on your own iPod. No longer will you have to bend to the whims of a record company's unalterable choices. With iPod, it's a scroll in the park, creating and collecting infinite playlists of your own with this wonderful memory box. Part personal memoir, part product history, part marketing manual, iPod, Therefore I Am is the literary love-child of Nick (High Fidelity) Hornby and Michael (Liar's Poker) Lewis....

    "A book where the author leads the reader by the hand through their worst nightmare."

"An accurate but enjoyable account of life in a late twentieth century psychiatric hospital."

Description

'While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks' is based upon the author's own real life experience of mental breakdown, hospitalisation and subsequent detention under Section 5(2) and Section 2 of the Mental Health Act 1983, beginning in the Spring of 1989 and lasting for the duration of seven months.

The story is presented as a fictionalised account. The author assumes the role of Alex, the female patient in the 1980s at Blackwood Psychiatric Hospital, housed within the precincts of an Old Victorian asylum.

'While Shepherds Watched their Flocks' has been written over a period of years and, while the basic story remains unaltered, its presentation has changed to reflect the author's growing awareness of the events that surrounded her breakdown. Knowledge gained whilst concurrently studying psychology at the University of London has greatly assisted in enabling the author to make thorough appraisal of her own illness. The book comes to a positive climax as Alex leaves the unit to re-enter life in the community.

This is a touching, though-provoking, human interest story which has at its heart the basic human struggle for survival against insurmountable odds. It is in turn a love story, a tragedy and a real life drama as well as being interspersed with a measure of black comedy and feeling of suspense that keeps the reader with a real sense of "what happen next?" 'While Shepherds Watched their Flocks' is a book that should appeal to a wide audience.

About The Author

Born on 14th May 1966 and privately educated in a convent school until the age of sixteen, I rebelled and left against my parent's wishes. In 1989 I had my first psychiatric hospital admission. During follow-up I was diagnosed with manic-depression. My happiest and most productive years followed until, like the Sword of Damocles, manic-depression struck again in 2002, this time with much greater severity.

I would currently describe myself as in the latter stages of recovery. Leading a quiet life in my West London home I'd say my passion for animals together with buying and selling on eBay is helping to keep me sane!...

    Cynicism is strong in the newspaper business where I have worked for more than 30 years. But Carlos Alonso is a bright spot in my career. A respected missionary, he is committed to serving Jesus Christ in every aspect of his life. One of my articles was about Carlos taking the Gospel to his family in Cuba after 20 years in the United States. He led them all to the Lord, which is typical of the fruit God has born through his obedience.

Boldness is a strong attribute in Carlos. He does not hold back when the Lord speaks to Him. As missionary and prophet he travels the world preaching Jesus, laying hands on the sick and setting captives free through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Adventures of a Foot Washer, he tells of many encounters with the power Jesus and the miracles he has witnessed. He shares his story with humility, yet with a confidence that comes from obedience to God.

Take this journey with Carlos and see how the Holy Spirit can touch you as a believer. As a Christian for more than 35 years, I assure you that it will be a trip worth taking.
