The definitive guide to the band offering song-by-song analysis, full chronology and gig guide, full bootleg guide, and exclusive interviews with surviving members Pink Floyd formed in London in 1965, signed with EMI in 1967, and recorded their first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, which was released to immediate acclaim in the same year. Since then, the band has released 15 studio albums and sold over 250 million records. Their eighth album, Dark Side of the Moon, is the highest-selling British album in the world (and fourth overall), at over 40 million copies. Their last album, The Endless River (2014), has sold over ten million copies, and founder members Roger Waters and Nick Mason still (separately) tour the world. Indeed, they hardly need an introduction: their profile remains very high, with millions of fans around the world. Everything Under the Sun will be a high-level, fully sourced and footnoted analysis of the music of Pink Floyd (akin to Revolution in the Head by Ian Macdonald about The Beatles), and the first serious survey of the group's work and achievements. As such, it will also be a cultural history of the UK, seen through the prism of the band. While there is a plethora of books about Pink Floyd and by Pink Floyd former members, none are truly comprehensive or do what this book seeks to do. Some give bald introductions to the songs with analysis, others give stories and anecdotes, and potted histories. But Everything Under the Sun will be the definitive book. In addition to a song-by-song analysis, it will include exclusive band interviews, a full chronology and gig guide, and a full bootleg guide. It will be the go-to book for any Pink Floyd fan.

Nadia Ansar ble oppkalt etter den rumenske turneren Nadia Com?neci. Hun var symbolet på «the perfect 10»; det uoppnåelige, feilfrie og perfekte. Utad var hun den plettfrie datteren, den store kjærligheten til Abid Raja, det gode innvandreralibiet og den velintegrerte psykologen, ekspert på følelser som skam og skyld. Det ingen så var at hun bar på en ryggsekk full av skam og mørke hemmeligheter. Selv ikke Abid visste alt.I ektemannens bestselgende bok Min skyld var hun det forbudte blikket i T-banevognen, kjæresten forkledd i burka, bruden han fryktet aldri ville komme - og kvinnen som gråt på bryllupsnatten. Men Nadias stemme manglet. Med boken Min skam ønsker hun nå å bruke sin personlige og faglige stemme til å fortelle historien om den flinke minoritetsjentas kamp for å få lov til å være seg selv. Om å vokse opp på Ekeberg i Oslo som datter av den lokale kjøpmannen og den eneste jenta i klassen med minoritetsbakgrunn. Om hennes fars halsbrekkende spagat mellom det likestilte, norske samfunnet og den patriarkalske kulturens forventninger. Om kampen for likestilling i forholdet til Abid som fortsatte, selv etter at kjærligheten hadde vunnet fram.Som voksen ser Nadia Ansar flere velutdannede medsøstre med minoritetsbakgrunn gi opp den smertefulle balansekunsten i det likestilte Norge. De blir husmødre med hijab, og noen flytter tilbake til foreldrenes hjemland. Nadia Ansar mener det er skammen som hindrer dem i å leve frie liv.
