This is the story of the Beatles' harrowing rise to fame: focusing on that seven-year stretch from the time the boys met as teenagers to early 1964, when the Fab Four made their momentous first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. From the boys' humble beginnings in Liverpool, to the cellars of Hamburg, When They Were Boys includes stories never before told, including the heartbreaks and the lucky breaks. Included are an eyewitness account of that first meeting between Lennon and McCartney, the inside story of how Ringo replaced Pete Best, an exploration of the brilliant but troubled soul of manager Brian Epstein, and the real scoop on their disastrous first visit to Germany and the death of Stu Sutcliffe. With an eye for life in Liverpool during the 50's and 60's and over 65 eyewitness accounts from those closest to the Beatles, Larry Kane brings to life the evolution of the group that changed music forever.

Robert O’Brien was born in the late ’60s in Pasadena, Texas. Growing up as a boy in the ’70s before the age of video games, VCRs and cable television, Robert and his friends used their vivid imaginations to create a fantasy world around their real-life events. We Were Boys is the retelling of these events, cast in the fantasy in which they were first imagined. Hilariously funny, and retold in great detail, we follow Robert and his friends as they parachute into enemy territory, travel down the Amazon River and make the first landing on Mars. The stories and antics of Robert and his friends remind us that imagination is how dreams begin, And that without imagination we might have never taken the journeys that expanded our minds and hearts.

Amalia and Guido are a young couple whose dream of a happy life together is broken by the outbreak of the Second World War. Amalia stays in Milan, juggling the bombings and the no less pressing problems of daily survival. Guido, instead, as commander in the Italian Army, leads an epic crossing in the Sahara desert and manages to bring his soldiers to safety, facing a thousand adversities. The solid mutual love, strengthened also by the birth of a little girl, will accompany them on the arduous journey towards the painful reunification. A path paved with obstacles, revealing encounters, very hard trials, but also unexpected strokes of luck. Based on real events, this novel offers us a vivid glimpse of crucial episodes of our history, between the late 1700s and the late 1900s, narrated from an unprecedented perspective. In addition to the voices of the two courageous and tenacious protagonists, there is also the no less intense voice of their son Alberto, who vigorously depicts the distant years of childhood and youth, the loves and pains until the first professional successes. Many varied adventures that have a common denominator: the strength to get involved to the end, without fears, and living the unknown as a continuous challenge. It is the ability to adapt to the changing and evolving times, almost anticipating them and always staying one step ahead, the key that opens the doors of a future full of promise to Alberto. But the new contains in itself traces of our roots, and today always has a father: the past.

They were initially astute in picking up on other peopleOCOs emotions, emotionally present in their relationships, and competent in their navigation of the human social world. However, the boys gradually appeared less perceptive, articulate, and responsive, and became more guarded and subdued in their relationships as they learned to prove that they are boys primarily by showing that they area not agirls.a a a Based on a two-year study of boys aged four to six, a When Boys Become Boys aoffers a new way of thinking about boysOCO development.a Chu finds that behaviors typically viewed as natural for boys reflect an adaptation to culturesathat require boys to be emotionally stoic, competitive, and aggressive if they are to be accepted as real boys.a Yet even as boys begin to reap the social benefits of aligning with norms of masculine behavior, they pay a psychological and relational price for hiding parts of their authentic selves. a a Through documenting boysOCO perceptions of the obstacles they face and the pressures they feel to conform, and showing that their compliance with norms of masculine behavior is neither automatic nor inevitable, this accessible and engaging bookaprovides insightainto ways in which adults can foster boysOCO healthy resistance andahelp them to access a broader range of options for expressing themselves."
