A memoir by Ji-li Jiang who was a 12-year-old girl living in China when Chairman Mao launched the 1966 Cultural Revolution.

 | A Dreamer of Pictures by David Downing
This title is a well-researched, honest portrayal of Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Neil Young, who was a member of such legendary outfits as Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young before going solo in 1970. Due partly to Young`s refusal to be interviewed, Downing does not attempt to make assumptions regarding his influences, career moves, and personal choices, but focuses instead on the details of Young`s long and fascinating career.
