More than 150 images include classic and rarely published photographs, album artwork, and archive memorabilia. By examining the writing, recording and performance of the band’s entire catalogue, the book presents a unique look at the making of the Beach Boys, both before and after their 1966 triumphs.

Pickover From the Beginning to the End of Time, 250 Milestones in the History of Space & Astronomy Jim Bell You Are a Complete Disappointment Cover not final by Mike Edison “You are a complete disappointment.” On his deathbed, Mike Edison’s father gasped those words to his son—and that was just the beginning of his devastating salvo. For anyone who has ever suffered from parental bullying, this often-hilarious yet intensely heartbreaking memoir from the former High Times publisher will provide both solace and laughter. It begins with a child’s hunger for love and acceptance and continues through years of withering criticism, perverse expectations, and unfounded competition from a father who couldn’t tolerate his son’s happiness and libertine spirit. In the end, the author unravels a relationship that could never be fixed—but perhaps didn’t need to be 978-1-4549-1868-4 $17.95 ($20.95 CAN) Hardcover with Jacket 256 pages 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 Territory: World Sterling Mike Edison—a well-known musician, storyteller, and radio host on the Heritage Radio Network—is the former editor and publisher of High Times magazine, and has contributed to numerous magazines and websites, including Huffington Post, the Daily Beast, the New York Observer, Spin, Interview, and the New York Press.
