(Stereoscopic, or 3-D, photography re-creates the illusion of depth by utilizing the binocularity of our vision.) The impressive book includes his own reflective narrative (May didn't need a ghostwriter), and comes with an OWL 3-D viewer, which brings out the full effect of these images. The cover photo, and many of the images within, focuses on Queen's iconic lead singer, Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 after battling AIDS. Mercury's vocals, sometimes operatic (Queen's mix of rock and opera is groundbreaking), other times roaring with rock fury and his theatrical stage persona made him one of music's most beloved frontmen." -- <i>Newsweek</i><br><br>"A unique collection of images that no other rock band is likely to have." -- <i>Stereo World</i><br><br>"The closest thing to an autobiography May has written." -- <i>The Bookseller</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Brian May</b>, founder, member, songwriter and guitarist with the rock band Queen, and co-creator of the internationally successful rock theatrical, <i>We Will Rock You</i>, is also a Doctor of Astrophysics, a leading campaigner for animal rights, and a lifelong 3-D photography enthusiast.
