Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) was one extreme contradiction on top of another. An incredibly influential—but never profitable—company in the world of professional wrestling in the 1990s, it portrayed itself as the ultimate in anti-authority rebellion, but its leadership was working covertly with the World Wrestling Federation and the World Championship Wrestling. Most of all, it blurred the line between reality and the fantasy world of professional wrestling. Hardcore History: The Extremely Unauthorized Story of ECW offers a frank, balanced look at the evolution of ECW starting before its early days as a Philadelphia-area independent group and extending past its death in 2001. Featuring dozens of interviews with fans, officials, business partners, and the wrestlers themselves, this is a very balanced account of this bizarre company—and it’s sure to be extremely controversial for fans and critics of ECW, and wrestling, alike.

The start of the 21st century has marked an incredible change in the world of Energy. In fact, in a world which is more uncertain than ever (sudden changes in energy prices, shale and oil gas, emergence of new players, geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, Iraq, etc), the only real issue in which there is a general consensus remains that of Energy Savings and Energy Efficiency. This book aims to build a general picture of the world of modern energy by focusing on the major climatic and geopolitical challenges. It also explores the most recent developments in environmental regulations, notably those related to Energy Efficiency and Energy Savings, seen without any doubt as the founding roots of the so-called Energy Transition. According to Myriam Maestroni, a leading expert on Energy in France and Europe, these two pillars of the “New World of Energy 2.0”» can be broken down at international, European, national and local levels, not only because of the changes in the rules and the perceptions of policy-makers regarding energy efficiency, but also, and especially because of the concrete ground level realities, public, entrepreneurial, local or associative initiatives and technological innovations. The book, written in close cooperation with two top experts in the global energy world, Michel Derdevet and Jean-Marie Chevalier- also records the opinions of some of the best French and international leading figures who are highly engaged to contribute through their proposals, analysis and actions, to the emergence of the new world of «Energy 2.0», amongst which Bruno Lechevin, Fatih Birol, Johannes Meier, Marc Beckers, Ann Robinson, Stephen Howard, Juliet Davenport, Gregor Paterson-Jones, Jean Marie Chevalier, Robert Bell, Michèle Sabban, Corine Lepage, Gabriele Albertini, Jeremy Rifkin, etc.

The first in-depth, behind-the-scenes book treatment of the rivalry between the two comic book giants. THEY ARE THE TWO TITANS OF THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY--the Coke and Pepsi of superheroes--and for more than 50 years, Marvel and DC have been locked in an epic battle for spandex supremacy. At stake is not just sales, but cultural relevancy and the hearts of millions of fans. To many partisans, Marvel is now on top. But for much of the early 20th century, it was DC that was the undisputed leader, having launched the American superhero genre with the 1938 publication of Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel's Superman strip. DC's titles sold millions of copies every year, and its iconic characters were familiar to nearly everyone in America. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman--DC had them all. And then in 1961, an upstart company came out of nowhere to smack mighty DC in the chops. With the publication of Fantastic Four #1, Marvel changed the way superheroes stories were done. Writer-editor Stan Lee, artists Jack Kirby, and the talented Marvel bullpen subsequently unleashed a string of dazzling new creations, including the Avengers, Hulk, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Iron Man. Marvel's rise forever split fandom into two opposing tribes. Suddenly the most telling question you could ask a superhero lover became "Marvel or DC?" Slugfest, the first book to chronicle the history of this epic rivalry into a single, in-depth narrative, is the story of the greatest corporate rivalry never told. Complete with interviews with the major names in the industry, Slugfest reveals the arsenal of schemes the two companies have employed in their attempts to outmaneuver the competition, whether it be stealing ideas, poaching employees, planting spies, or launching price wars. The feud has never completely disappeared, and it simmers on a low boil to this day. With DC and Marvel characters becoming global icons worth billions, if anything, the stakes are higher now than ever before.
