Epic Space is a hilarious take on contemporary culture as viewed through the twisted prism of lsquo;Martinrsquo;; amoral architectural consultant with a penchant for a long lunch and powerful friends; including members of the Cabinet and HRH the Prince of Wales. Written in weekly diary form; Martinrsquo;s world is a mad and woozy version of our own: one in which Martin and his friend; the nanofuturologist Beansy; can invent Kryptogel ndash; a new building material developed using lsquo;hard airrsquo;. Itrsquo;s a world where the property wing of the Church of England builds buy-to-let almshouses while lsquo;bouncy mega-mosquesrsquo; have helium-stiffened minarets. An arts correspondent is sacked by a Sunday newspaper and replaced with his own overdressed architectural dachshund. Soot becomes a valuable stock market commodity. A hipster skyscraper is called the Blard. And an ambitious plan is hatched to turn the North around so that it faces south. Big questions are asked: Is Texture The New Fragrance? Is Modern Modernism Just Post-Modernism But With A Neo-Modernistic Coat On? How Fat is Your Faceprint? And; reassuringly; there are still plenty of boozy lunches.

To being on the top of the rock/ heavy metal world. This book talks about everything. The good. the bad and the ugly. It covers all the lineups of Black Sabbath and the solo projects. This book includes many pictures that Ive never seen before.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Pretty good read.By wesley e willsThe early years were very interesting. All of the band member changes get a little monotonous. Reading about Ozzy through the years was also interesting. Hope someday he gets to work with Paul McCartney.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Long Live Black SabbathBy Starfighter2012I thought this book was excellent. I bought it as a gift for my friend but was offered a digital book at a cheap price. I downloaded it to my phone and could not stop reading it. I loved it so much I bought real book to have for my collection.
