David Bowie. [videorecording] : from Konrad to Starman 1962-1972 / by Bowie, David.; Smokin',publisher.;
David Bowie.Best known of course for his startling imagery and multiple characters, David Bowie had, for the best part of a decade prior to getting his first big break, been sitting on the margins of the music industry trying everything he could come up with in an attempt to get noticed. This film investigates what happened between the birth of one David Jones in Brixton, London in 1947 and the dawn of his career in music - which began when, at the age of 16, he formed local group The Konrads as saxophonist - and the day when the same young man, by now re-christened David Bowie, first came to the attention of the world at large under his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust in 1972. Featuring rare and exclusive interviews, contributions from those who worked with David during this time, rare film footage, archive material plus news reports, location shoots, rare photographs and much more besides, this intriguing documentary is the finest film yet to emerge on this often forgotten period of Bowie's incredible career.E.DVD ; full screen presentation.

My life on the road / by Steinem, Gloria.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Gloria Steinem had an itinerant childhood. Every fall, her father would pack the family into the car and they would drive across the country, in search of their next adventure. The seeds were planted: Steinem would spend much of her life on the road, as a journalist, organizer, activist, and speaker. In vivid stories that span an entire career, Steinem writes about her time on the campaign trail, from Bobby Kennedy to Hillary Clinton; her early exposure to social activism in India, and the decades spent organizing ground-up movements in America; the taxi drivers who were "vectors of modern myths" and the airline stewardesses who embraced the feminist revolution; and the infinite, surprising contrasts, the "surrealism in everyday life" that Steinem encountered as she traveled back and forth across the country. With the unique perspective of one of the greatest feminist icons of the 20th and 21st centuries, here is an inspiring, profound, enlightening memoir of one woman's life-long journey"--Provided by publisher.
