In honor of the 30th anniversary of Rolling Stone magazine, this oversize volume presents covers, stories, and excerpts from the first 728 issues of one of the most important publications in the music industry. The covers, which vividly demonstrate the magazine's policy of treating photography as equal in importance to the text, feature contributions from such respected artists as Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, and Ralph Steadman; many have become classic images, such as Annie Leibovitz's photo of a naked John Lennon embracing a fully clothed Yoko Ono, taken on the day of Lennon's murder. Topped by the magazine's distinctive logo (designed by artist Rick Griffin) they represent all the big names in music, sports, politics, and acting. Along with the covers, the articles and interviews collected here not only confirm the magazine's unique position in the music world but also as a significant outlet for frequently fascinating and brilliant journalism, making it a virtual one-stop shop for cultural and political news, and a pervasive influence on American culture.

For Glory,For Victory,For Love of CountryIn a time of savage conflict and global chaos, a new breed of fighting men answers their nation's call with pride and courage -- the Navy's Underwater Demolition Team, commandoes superbly trained to meet the most unique and deadly challenges of warfare. Honed and hardened in the flames of combat, they engage a fearsome enemy both above and below the waves. Their exploits are the stuff of World War Two legend, giving rise to a proud legacy that endures for generations -- born of iron determination shared by each and every man to triumph against all odds . . . or die with honor.

Noting the risk that the globalizing of literary studies may simply reinforce the developments it is attempting to examine and assess, Giles Gunn insists that critics analyze not only how the cultural material we study has been produced by globalizing trends, but also how it has subjected those trends to scrutiny. It is this work that Worldwise undertakes. The fictions studied represent and revise the global histories of the past and present--including the indigenous or native narratives that are, in Homi Bhabha's words, internal to national identity itself. These works, taking as their subjects European unification, the human rights movement, the AIDS epidemic, and the new South Africa, test the infinite demands for justice against the shifting borders of the nation, rethinking habits of feeling, modes of belonging, and practices of citizenship for the global future. Confronting the pervasiveness of ethical claims, the disjointing of the global field of action, and the impediments to social redistribution, they commit to the non-finality, which is not to say the deferability, of justice. Like cosmopolitanism itself, this genre points to and participates in a field of contested ethics and politics.
