PRESSURE

Dispatches from the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE Expedition James Cameron, Foreword by Joe MacInnis, Introduction by Mark Hammond

The inspiring true story of how James Cameron bucked convention to lead a disparate team of free-thinking rebels on a record-breaking expedition to the Challenger Deep. On March 26, 2012, James Cameron made history when he dove his custom-built submersible to the deepest place on earth, the Challenger Deep. Cameron’s research expedition to explore deep-ocean environments garnered intense international interest, but the inspiring story of how he bucked convention to pull it off has never been told until now. Conceived by Cameron’s fertile imagination, the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible started life as a series of sketches for a vertical underwater vehicle that could shoot down to the Mariana Trench like a rocket. Determined to turn what many saw as a crazy idea into reality, Cameron began to assemble a disparate team of free-thinking rebels—including engineers, movie-prop builders, and high-school dropouts—whose unconventional ideas would not be constrained by academic orthodoxy. Under a veil of absolute secrecy, Cameron led the carefully selected group as they began the difficult process of testing and building the unique vehicle from scratch, applying bleeding-edge ideas to its design and construction. No one involved had ever built a submersible before. Encountering numerous unforeseen challenges, Cameron was forced to accelerate his timeline, leading his team of rogue thinkers toward an uncertain outcome. Facing tremendous pressure, great personal risk, and unimaginable tragedy, Cameron ultimately triumphed using a principle he calls “group genius”—a belief that no one person on the project had all the skills required to ensure success but that together they were unstoppable. • Told through candid emails accompanied by Cameron’s brutally honest commentary, Pressure is a deeply inspiring lesson in radical innovation, orchestral leadership, and group genius. • More than 300 photographs, sketches, and diagrams.

MEAT THE BEATLES: THE BUTCHER COVER

The Complete, Untold Story of the Fab Four's Most Controversial Album Artwork Erika White

It’s grotesque, iconic, and infamous—and the story behind it is even crazier. Discover all the drama hidden beneath one of the most notorious and collectible record covers by the best-selling band of all time. In June 1966, Beatles fans lined up to buy Yesterday and Today, the band’s latest North American album, expecting another great record from the playful, mop-topped foursome. But Beatlemaniacs came face-to-face with John, Paul, George, and Ringo grinning manically, wearing butcher coats, and festooned with raw meat and dismembered dolls. Outrage erupted instantly. Capitol Records scrambled to recall and repackage the album, but the cat was out of the bag. The legend of the “butcher cover” had begun. Today, original copies rank among the most coveted Beatles collectibles, but the story behind the cover has remained largely untold. In Meat the Beatles: The Butcher Cover, band expert Erika White dives deep into what happened and why: the group’s evolving career, the wild photo session, photographer Robert Whitaker’s surreal artistry, and competing theories about the image’s elusive meaning. The book offers a rare glimpse into the Beatles’ experimental mindset and their psychedelic creativity to come, capturing in detail one of the most important shots of the counterculture wars of the 1960s. UNTOLD STORY: Some Beatlemaniacs remember the shocking cover, but few know how it came to be. This book reveals the full story for the first time: the bizarre photo session, the clash with Capitol Records, and the chaos that made the album cover a rock history legend. LEGENDARY COLLECTIBLE: The Butcher Cover fascinates fans and obsesses collectors, making this wild story a great gift and essential reading for Beatles fans who have everything! Erika White is a writer, podcaster, and Beatlemaniac. She cohosts the BC the Beatles podcast, which discusses the band from a second-generation fan perspective, and has interviewed many prominent members of the Beatles community, including producer Giles Martin; journalist and author Rob Sheffield; director Michael Lindsay-Hogg; and John Lennon’s former secretary and partner, May Pang. 9798337405544 $34.99 US | $46.99 CAN Hardcover 9 x 9 in 240 Pages NOVEMBER 2026
