The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One - and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016. � Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over 60 essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyses what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work's transcendence. � In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement. �

Excellent Study Bundle! Don't Let Negative Reviews Fool You!
Format: Paperback
I received the four books in a box, and they arrived brand new and exactly as described. These books are truly great for learning and easy to follow. I was almost discouraged from ordering because of some of the negative reviews, but I'm so glad I decided to see for myself and ordered this bundle deal. While the internal pictures and screenshots are not high definition or in color, they are perfectly easy to view and follow along. The author does an excellent job of guiding you, telling you exactly what to look at within the picture to follow along and understand the concepts. All the screenshots are spot-on and very readable. This is my first set of A+ books from Sybex, and I have the two main study books, the review guide, and the practice questions book. Wow! What else can I ask for? I used to rely on the big books with the golden covers, but they didn't have the latest editions. Too bad for them—this is a huge gain for me! Thank you, Sybex and Authors!

reading this helped me pass the A+ core windows 1 exam and security plus
Format: Paperback
Problem is that I am 63 years old having earned the certificate and the industry doesn't seem to welcome older workers . I used to help maintain a fleet of printers at two large companies. I have read about other more experienced tech workers in their 50s getting jobs now working in pharma working at sterilization technicians because IT seems to be puking jobs.
