Book Description
Max the mouse didnt mean to run away from home. He had a good gig with his owner, Melissa. He was well fed, and he liked riding on the little girls shoulder when she walked around the house. But Max was really curious to see what was on the other side of the fence in the backyard. Once over the fence, Max joins a group of endangered mice to found a new colony in a deserted field where mice are safe from the evil urban alley cats. But life, especially for mice, being what it is, the little group finds no peace in their private Eden. So Max cleverly rigs up a balloon for an escape to Mars. He deals with a pompous senator who helps create the hot air for their sails, a scholar mouse, a church mouse, and a love interest. Max and his little band of explorers discover that Mars is even more dangerous than Earth. For mice, that is. A science fiction book for young readers, Max the Mouse and the Secret of Mars delivers important messages about kindness, bravery, and the need to save the Earth through Maxs adventures.

Energy Flash
Author: Simon Reynolds
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1593764774
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
Ecstasy did for house music what LSD did for psychedelic rock. Now, in Energy Flash, journalist Simon Reynolds offers a revved-up and passionate inside chronicle of how MDMA (“ecstasy”) and MIDI (the basis for electronica) together spawned the unique rave culture of the 1990s. England, Germany, and Holland began tinkering with imported Detroit techno and Chicago house music in the late 1980s, and when ecstasy was added to the mix in British clubs, a new music subculture was born. A longtime writer on the music beat, Reynolds started watching—and partaking in—the rave scene early on, observing firsthand ecstasy’s sense-heightening and serotonin-surging effects on the music and the scene. In telling the story, Reynolds goes way beyond straight music history, mixing social history, interviews with participants and scene-makers, and his own analysis of the sounds with the names of key places, tracks, groups, scenes, and artists. He delves deep into the panoply of rave-worthy drugs and proper rave attitude and etiquette, exposing a nuanced musical phenomenon. Read on, and learn why is nitrous oxide is called “hippy crack.”
