No stranger to doing things his own way, Alice Cooper has cast a long shadow over rock music with an unrivalled live show and timeless anthems like 'School’s Out', 'No Mr. Nice Guy', and 'Poison'. Selling over 50 million albums worldwide, he earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame® in 2003, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him as part of its class of 2011. Boasting one of the most influential catalogues in history, Rolling Stone cited 1971’s platinum-certified Love It To Death among the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time', while other platinum releases spanned the seminal Killer [1971], School’s Out [1972], the Billboard 200 #1 Billion Dollar Babies [1973], Welcome to My Nightmare [1975], and Trash [1989], to name a few. The latter even graced Rolling Stone’s '50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time'. 
 
He’s so embedded in generations of popular culture that he not only made a cult-classic appearance in Wayne’s World during 1992, but he also starred alongside John Legend and Sara Bareilles in NBC’s 2018 production of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert - and also memorably appeared on both The Muppets and That 70s Show! as well as in Dark Shadows. Beyond hundreds of syncs, everyone from Etta James, The Smashing Pumpkins, Megadeth, and The Flaming Lips has covered his tunes. The Beastie Boys, Disturbed, and countless others have sampled him. His collaborators have notably included the late Vincent Price, Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and Jon Bon Jovi, to name just a few. Plus, he co-founded Hollywood Vampires alongside Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. Most recently, 2025’s The Revenge Of Alice Cooper reunited the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band to widespread critical acclaim. After thousands upon thousands of gigs and easily a million miles travelled, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee continues ever onwards into rock 'n' roll folklore.

'You'll Get Over It'

The Rage of Bereavement

Daniel C. Dennett

This book revises the traditional view of consciousness by claiming that Cartesianism and Descartes' dualism of mind and body should be replaced with theories from the realms of neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence. What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but &quot;multiple drafts&quot; of reality composed by a computer-like &quot;virtual machine&quot;. Dennett considers how consciousness could have evolved in human beings and confronts the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures.

How Children Learn

R. D. Laing

In &lsquo;The Politics of Experience&rsquo; and the visionary &lsquo;Bird of Paradise&rsquo;, R.D. Laing shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us all leads to intense feelings of alienation and a tragic waste of human potential. He throws into question the notion of normality, examines schizophrenia and psychotherapy, transcendence and &lsquo;us and them&rsquo; thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. &lsquo;We are bemused and crazed creatures,&rsquo; Laing suggests. This outline of &lsquo;a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of man&rsquo; represents a major attempt to understand our deepest dilemmas and sketch in solutions. 
 
&lsquo;Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laing&rsquo; Anthony Clare, the Guardian.

Groovy Chick: The Official Colouring Book

Darian Leader

Strikingly clear, humane and helpful, this is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand autism and the autistic spectrum. Drawing on many years of clinical experience and research, as well as the testimonies of autistic people, it is an up-to-the minute account of the many indicative features of autism and how they have been assessed and treated over almost a century. 
 
As rates of autism diagnosis escalate in almost all high-income countries, researchers today mostly agree that there is no single cause or even single clinical picture of autism. Rather than a neat and well-defined entity, autism is described as a spectrum or constellation of traits, varying in intensity, distribution and severity, with practically everyone in the general population showing at least some autistic trait or feature. 
 
At the same time, there has been a radical split between the ways in which autism is perceived. For many, it is a disorder, a pathology based on a deficit, whereas for others it is an identity, a natural variation in human cognitive and behavioural diversity. 
 
For anyone facing the special challenges of autism, it can be hard to find clarity amid such complexity and contradiction, making Darian Leader’s illuminating guide to the field of autism research and treatment particularly welcome.
