1. Ziggyology
An illustrated, affectionate examination of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust persona, tracing its origins, development, performances and cultural impact; it combines rare photographs, contemporary press clippings, interview excerpts and song-by-song analysis to chart how the theatrical character was conceived, staged and ultimately retired, situating it within the glam-rock scene and assessing its lasting influence on music, fashion and fandom. Both a visual compendium and a critical narrative, the book maps timelines, collaborators and iconography, offering fans and scholars a richly detailed portrait of one of rock’s most enduring alter egos.
