The Linda McCartney Story
Plot
Photographer, Beatles wife, tambourine player, purveyor of vegetarian entrees: Linda McCartney led an undeniably remarkable life. The Linda McCartney Story, based on the book Linda McCartney: The Biography, attempts to present this life in all its glory. Scion of the George Eastman photography dynasty, McCartney is first shown as Linda Eastman, aspiring rock photographer. Flirting her way around the transatlantic rock scene with the likes of Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger, she eventually meets Paul McCartney during the heyday of mid-'60s Beatlemania. Thirty years of marriage, the Beatles' break-up, tambourine playing with Wings, and McCartney's ultimately unsuccessful battle with breast cancer follow, illustrating, over the course of 120 minutes, a life lived with both strength and aplomb. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, RoviNew digital book brings Linda's world exclusively to the iBookstore on iPad
London, UK – 25 April 2013
From her early rock'n'roll portraits and final years with The Beatles to her touring days with Wings and raising four children with Paul, Linda McCartney captured her whole world on film.
Her shots range from spontaneous family pictures to sessions with Janis Joplin and Michael Jackson, as well as artists Willem de Kooning and Gilbert and George. Always unassuming and fresh, her work displays a warmth and feeling for the precise moment that captures the essence of any subject. Whether photographing her children, celebrities, animals, or a fleeting moment of everyday life, McCartney did so without pretension or artifice.
Made exclusively by TASCHEN for iBooks, Linda McCartney – Life in Photographs features:
- over 170 photographs selected from Linda's archive of over 200,000 images—most of which users can pinch to zoom
- forewords by Paul, Stella, and Mary McCartney, texts by Annie Leibovitz and Martin Harrison, and excerpts from interviews with Linda from BBC’s highly acclaimed 1994 “Behind the Lens” profile
- a bonus video interview with Paul McCartney and his daughters, Stella and Mary
This collection was produced in close collaboration with Paul McCartney and their children. As such, it is a moving personal journal and a lasting testament to Linda’s talent.

Norman Smith, Engineer for the Beatles, Dies at 85
Norman Smith, who was the lead recording engineer for every Beatles song through 1965 and who as a producer helped usher in an era of psychedelic rock when he discovered the band Pink Floyd, died early Tuesday in East Sussex, England. He was 85.
The cause was cancer, his wife, Eileen, said.
Mr. Smith, a World War II veteran who worked afterward as a dance-hall and jazz musician, came to the recording business relatively late, taking an entry-level job at EMI Recording Studios on Abbey Road in London in 1959, when he was 36. But within a few years he played critical roles for two of the biggest-selling bands in history.
Later, in the early 1970s, he had a moment in the spotlight himself, scoring a Top 5 hit in the United States with his “Oh Babe, What Would You Say,” singing under the name Hurricane Smith.
Mr. Smith worked his way through the EMI hierarchy at a time when the studio was a relatively formal place, and frontline engineers were required to wear ties and jackets. (Reacting in part to this buttoned-down style, the Beatles nicknamed him “Normal.”) But Mr. Smith was more focused on capturing performances than on fiddling with tubes and wires.
button-down
“I was such an admirer of his musical prowess,” said Malcolm Addey, a recording engineer and colleague of Mr. Smith’s at EMI. “He really knew it inside out, as a player and arranger.”
Mr. Smith was the engineer on duty when the Beatles came into EMI studios for their first sound test, in 1962, and under company policy that meant he could stay with the group throughout its run there. The relationship would, in fact, become very close, but it did not start so smoothly.
“First impressions of the group coming into the studio were not very great, in point of fact,” Mr. Smith said in an interview in“Recording the Beatles,” the definitive studio history of the group, by Brian Kehew and Kevin Ryan. “I mean, ‘Here comes another scrappy group.’ But I must say that I was taken with their hairdos because we hadn’t seen anything quite like them.”
Under the producer George Martin, it was Mr. Smith’s role to choose the equipment and techniques used to capture individual sounds in the studio and then to weave them into a finished recording. In the Beatles’ case, he favored sounds that were more stark than those typically heard in the ornamented and reverberation-drenched songs on popular radio.
“Norman thought the actual Beatles’ sound, playing together in the room, was great, and he wanted to preserve that,” Mr. Kehew said. “And that was really different from other records at the time.”
His approach made its mark on a remarkable stretch of hit songs from 1962 until early 1966. They included “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Help!” “Day Tripper” and “We Can Work It Out” — all crisp and ringingly energetic recordings that were increasingly experimental.
In the last full album he worked on with the Beatles, “Rubber Soul,” in 1965, Mr. Smith helped the band members lay the groundwork for the increasingly radical studio performances they would feature on later LPs like “Revolver” (1966) and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (1967). One “Rubber Soul” breakthrough was the use of a sitar on the song “Norwegian Wood.”
After Mr. Martin left EMI in 1966, Mr. Smith succeeded him as a senior producer. He scouted and immediately signed the experimental group Pink Floyd to a contract and produced its first two albums, “Piper at the Gates of Dawn” and “Saucerful of Secrets,” both recognized as definitive works of psychedelic rock. Mr. Smith also produced another art-rock band, the Pretty Things.
Norman A. Smith was born on Feb. 22, 1923, and reared in Edmonton, North London. He was trained as a glider pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II but did not see combat. Afterward, he worked day jobs and formed a band, the Bobby Arnold Quintet, in which he played mostly drums and vibes and performed in local clubs and dance halls, a practice he continued in his early years at EMI, Mr. Addey said.
At age 50, Mr. Smith embarked on a solo singing career, taking the stage name Hurricane from a movie title. His hit, “Oh Babe, What Would You Say,” was a song he had written and hoped to sell but ended up recording himself at the urging of a producer, Mr. Addey said.
Besides his wife of 62 years, Mr. Smith is survived by his son, Nick, also a recording engineer; his daughter, Dee Smith, a dancer and dance instructor; and a grandson.
Toward the end of his life, Mr. Smith was gratified to be getting attention from new generations of Beatles fans, Mrs. Smith said. Mr. Kehew traced much of this renewed attention to a fascination with “the scene behind the making of the record.”
“The record itself has become more important than, say, the Maharishi or dogs or wives,” Mr. Kehew said. “And the people behind the scenes had almost as much a hand in creating those sounds as the Beatles themselves.”

John Jakes 8本演義《肯特家族編年史The Kent Family Chronicles》又稱《美國兩百週年系列》)5000頁 1974 。Daniel J. Boorstin,1914~2004《美國人:建國的歷程》(The Americans: The National Experience)(1965)《美國人:殖民的歷程》(The Americans: The Colonial Experience)(1958)《美國人:民主的歷程》(The Americans: The Democratic Experience)(1973)
《肯特家族編年史》(又稱《美國兩百週年系列》)是約翰·傑克斯為紀念《美國獨立宣言》發表200週年而創作的八部小說系列,由Book Creations, Inc.的萊爾·恩格爾創作。 [1] 這一系列小說成為暢銷書,單本小說銷售量均未低於350萬冊。 [2] 以《反抗軍》、《追尋者》和《復仇女神》,傑克斯成為第一位在1975年(1975年)一年內有三部作品登上紐約時報》暢銷書排行榜的作家。 [3]
這一系列小說講述了肯特家族的不同成員的故事,並將他們與美國獨立戰爭時期的歷史事件聯繫起來。第一部小說始於美國獨立戰爭前夕,法國人菲利普·夏博諾(Phillipe Charboneau)先前往英國,然後前往新大陸,途中改名為菲利普·肯特(Philip Kent),並結識了幾位獨立戰爭的關鍵人物,包括拉法耶特侯爵、本傑明·富蘭克林、塞繆爾·亞當斯、保羅·裡維爾、約瑟夫·沃倫等。幾個世代之後的1890年,隨著吉迪恩·肯特在《美國人》中去世,故事終於結束。該系列最初計劃持續到1976年,涵蓋200年。 [4]
The Kent Family Chronicles (also known as The American Bicentennial Series) is a series of eight novels by John Jakes written for Lyle Engel of Book Creations, Inc., to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States.[1] The books became best sellers, with no novel in the series selling fewer than 3.5 million copies.[2] With The Rebels, The Seekers, and The Furies, Jakes became the first author to have three books on the New York Times best-seller list in a single year, 1975.[3]
The books feature various members of the Kent family, connecting them with historical events at the time of the American Revolution. The first novel begins just before the American Revolution, with Frenchman Phillipe Charboneau, who travels to England and later to the New World, changing his name to Philip Kent along the way and meeting several key figures of the Revolution, including the Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Joseph Warren, and others. The saga ends some generations later in 1890, with the death of Gideon Kent in The Americans. The series was originally intended to continue until 1976, covering 200 years.[4]
The first two novels in the series were made into telefilms in 1978 and 1979, both starring Andrew Stevens as Philip Kent, with the third adapted as a 1979 telefilm starring Randolph Mantooth as the son, Abraham Kent. "Operation Prime Time" premiered in syndication with the first of these.
Novels
[edit]- The Bastard (1974)
- The Rebels (1975)
- The Seekers (1975)
- The Furies (1976)[5]
- The Titans (1976)[6]
- The Warriors (1977)[7]
- The Lawless (1978)[8]
- The Americans (1979)[9]
1980年代中期,我讀傑克斯的這套八卷本、跨越幾代人的傳奇故事,講述了肯特一家的故事。肯特一家是一個美國家庭,其生活橫跨美國獨立戰爭時期至19世紀末。而就在幾年前,這套書在美國已經引起轟動。傑克斯的美國兩百週年系列於1974年至1979年間出版,以紀念《獨立宣言》發表200週年。這套書廣受歡迎,甚至催生了低俗的電視劇版本。 (想像威廉夏特納和金凱特羅爾穿著殖民時期服裝的場景。)這些書總共售出了5500萬冊。 1970年代中期,我的家人從秘魯移民到美國,恰逢我父親加入傑克斯系列的狂熱。
不難理解為什麼美國人會如此熱衷於這個故事。肯特家族英勇無畏,原則性強,充滿激情。他們放下光榮的戰鬥和縱情聲色,去思考關於責任和國家的宏大理念,並努力應對家族積累的財富和影響力所帶來的種種選擇。他們的座右銘——「挺身而出,留下印記」——略帶貴族義務的意味,但這又有何不可呢?對於一個正從越戰的自我懷疑和水門事件的恥辱中走出來的國家來說,讀一些頌揚歷史的小說,想必是吹滅200根蠟燭的慰藉之道。
I had no idea then, as I read the books in the mid-1980s, that Jakes’s eight-volume, multigenerational saga about the Kents, an American family whose lives span the Revolutionary era to the late 19th century, had been a sensation in the United States just a few years earlier. Published between 1974 and 1979 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Jakes’s American Bicentennial series was wildly popular, even spawning tacky television versions. (Imagine William Shatner and Kim Cattrall in Colonial garb.) Together, the books sold 55 million copies. My family emigrated from Peru to the United States in the mid-1970s, just in time for my father to join the Jakes craze.
It’s easy to see why Americans embraced this story. The Kents are dashing and brave and principled and passionate, pausing their honorable fighting and copious copulating to ponder big ideas about duty and nation and to wrestle with the choices brought on by the wealth and influence the family amasses. Their motto — “Take a stand and make a mark” — has a whiff of noblesse oblige to it, but why not? For a country emerging from the self-doubt of Vietnam and the shame of Watergate, some celebratory historical fiction must have been a comforting way to blow out 200 candles.

生平
[編輯]1914年出生在美國南部的亞特蘭大,2004年2月28日因肺炎在華盛頓去世。
他一生中出版過20多本著作,其中最重要和最有影響的是兩套三部曲——《美國人》三部曲和人類文明史三部曲。
他是俄羅斯猶太移民的後代,父親是一個律師,在一次為一個猶太工廠主辯護時,得罪了當地的反猶主義者,全家被迫離開喬治亞州,遷移到北方的俄克拉何馬州,他在那裡度過了童年。
在哈佛大學完成英國歷史和文學的本科學業後,他獲得了羅德獎學金的資助,前往牛津大學攻讀法律,並通過了英國律師考試,成為了少數可以在英國高等法庭出庭辯護的美國人之一。1940年,他回到美國後在耶魯大學拿到了法學博士學位,子承父業當上了一名律師。他的第一本書就叫作《神秘的法學》。
1944年,他在芝加哥大學獲得了一個教職,從此開始了自己漫長的學術生涯。目前還不清楚,是什麼原因使他放棄了法律研究,而將興趣轉移到了歷史研究上。在讀書期間,他曾經有一個獨特的學術觀點,認為美國人實用主義和注重現實的民族性格,並非來自某種教條或信仰,而是在定居北美大陸的過程中,在環境的磨鍊下自然形成了。這個觀點可能構成了他後來寫作《美國人》三部曲的主要動機。
1958年,《美國人》的第一卷《殖民之歷程》出版,後面的兩卷《建國之歷程》和《民主之歷程》分別於1965年和1973年出版。這三部曲以150萬字的篇幅,全景式的展現了美國從殖民地一直到當代的400年間的歷史發展,引起了轟動。布爾斯廷也因此確定了美國史專家的學術地位。這套三部曲獲得很多獎項,最後一本《民主歷程》還奪得了1973年普利茲最佳歷史學著作。
布爾斯廷在哈佛大學做學生時,曾一度信仰過左翼的激進主義思想,並在1938年短暫參加過一個共產主義小組的活動,後來因對史達林主義和蘇德達成互不侵犯條約的失望,而退出了該小組。1953年,他因這段經歷受到了眾議院非美委員會質詢,他作出了妥協,提供了該小組其他參加者的名單。這件事成為了他一生中最受爭議的事件,60年代末美國學生運動高漲時,他的課因此受到抵制,他本人也遭到學生的衝擊,為此他不得不離開了已經執教25年的芝加哥大學,前往史密森博物館擔任館長。
布爾斯廷是美國學術圈內有名的酷愛讀書的學者。1975年福特總統提名他擔任國會圖書館第12任館長,他對這個世界上最大的圖書館作出了重大貢獻。在他去世後,現任館長詹姆斯·貝靈頓(James H. Billington)這樣評價他的貢獻:「他建立了國會圖書館圖書資料中心,在全美國積極推動閱讀。他關注的並不僅僅是掃除無知和愚昧,他也十分關心如何恢復人們對閱讀的興趣。他發起了重修傑弗遜大樓的計劃,並爭取到了國會的支持,使其重新成為了美國讀書人的聖殿。......他是一個為書而生的人,是上帝賜給美國的禮物。」
在日常生活中,布爾斯廷有早期清教徒的特點,生活態度嚴肅保守,不喜歡打領帶,而喜歡戴領結。他也是一個十分勤奮的學者,幾乎所有時間都用來寫作。以至在審議他擔任國會圖書館館長的聽證會上,好幾個參議員要求他如果擔任這個職務,就不能把精力放在寫作上。他最後只答應不在工作時間寫作,其他時間——周末、每個工作日的晚上和清晨——依然筆耕不綴。
在國會圖書館工作期間,布爾斯廷得以寫下他的煌煌巨著人類文明史三部曲的第一部作品,1983年出版的專注於科技與地理領域的《發現者:人類發現世界與自我的歷史》。其後,又在1992年出版了專注於文學藝術領域的《創造者:富於想像力的巨人們的歷史》。以及1995年出版的專注與哲學文化領域的《探索者:人類不懈理解世界的故事》。
1987年,布爾斯廷主動辭去了國會圖書館的工作,過上了退休生活。在1995年他生前出版的最後一本書《探索者》的結尾,他這樣寫道:「身處兩個永恆——逝去的往昔和未知的將來——之間,我們從未停止追尋自己所處的位置和方向感。」這句話也是他的一生的最好寫照。
