447 pages  by Peter Ames Carlin - Hardcover

In the spring of 1980, an unexpected group of musical eccentrics came together to play their very first performance at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few short years, they had taken over the world – with smash records like Out of TimeAutomatic for the PeopleMonster and Green. Raw, outrageous, and expressive, R.E.M.’s distinctive musical flair was unmatched, and a string of mega-successes solidified them as generational spokesmen. In the tumultuous transition between the wide-open 80s and the anxiety of the early 90s, R.E.M. challenged the corporate and social order, chasing a vision and cultivating a magnetic, transgressive sound.

In this rich, intimate biography, critically acclaimed author Peter Ames Carlin looks beyond the sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll to open a window into the fascinating lives of four college friends – Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry – who stuck together at any cost, until the end. Deeply descriptive and remarkably poetic, steeped in 80s and 90s nostalgia, 
The Name of This Band is R.E.M. paints a cultural history of the commercial peak and near-total collapse of a great music era, and the story of the generation that came of age at the apotheosis of rock.

Great piece!
Color: Veiled Maiden
If you're looking for a cost effective way to get this bust, this is a great option. The molding looks good and clean on all surfaces and edges. Very white in color. I really think they did a great job.

sturdy, easy and quick to put together
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Light Grey
Packaged with care. No damage. Easy and quick to put together. I bought 2 for the deck. Goes well with any style outdoor furniture. Sturdy, heavy, wide enough that it shouldn't get blown over by the wind. The only problem was that several of the screws on each table couldn't be installed because the holes for attaching the base to the table top didn't line up properly and would not go in. The tops on each table still held together and as long as you don't lift from the top you can't tell. Other than that, they're super awesome end tables.

Easy to use
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Black
perfect little porch table. I think it is best to just go between two chairs. I have a small fire pit on mine. Very sturdy and heavy duty but not too heavy. Pretty low price compared to others that I looked at.
