Steve Turner 126930

Angelheaded Hipster

Viking, 1996. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 224. In the fifties, the movies had James Dean and Marlon Brando. Rock 'n' roll had Elvis Presley. The American novel had Jack Kerouac. Jack Kerouac was the father of the Beat Generation and the creator of a "spontaneous bop prose" style, which embodied the riffing and improvisation techniques that were used by jazz heroes such as Charlie Parker and Lester Young. In novels like The Subterraneans, On the Road, and The Dharma Bums, Kerouac portrayed characters hungry for experience and eager to discover a new vision of life. He made the life of a writer sound exciting and, along with his Beat contemporaries, helped liberate poetry from the page and took it to places more commonly associated with music or art or comedy: the jazz club, the coffee house, the art gallery, and the concert hall. Essentially a writer with spiritual preoccupations, he helped make the discussion of religion and spirituality hip by embracing the apparent paradox that it was often the wretched and despised, the "poor in spirit", who were most open to the things of heaven. The character Sal Paradise in On the Road, searching for soul in a world that seemed to be losing its soul, was a thinly disguised portrait of Kerouac himself. Today, forty years after the publication of On the Road, there is more discussion of Jack Kerouac and his work than ever before. In Angelheaded Hipster, Steve Turner examines the life and work of the pivotal figure of the fifties' countercultural revolution, and explores the reasons why Kerouac's unique prose and his search for the truth continues to inspire new readers.

Mary Turner Thomson 227479

The Bigamist. The True Story of a Husband's Ultimate Betrayel

Amazon Publishing, 2020. Paperback. Pp: 240. Now airing as the three-part documentary series The Other Mrs Jordan on ITVX. From whirlwind romance to gaslighting campaign: this is truth far stranger than fiction. When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who'd given up trying to find Mr Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will's work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world. And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as 'the other Mrs Jordan'. In this raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson recounts what happened after she discovered every word he'd said, from the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful, humiliating truth-but she tells it for one reason: she too was once a strong, independent woman who would have read all this and thought It could never happen to me. Revised edition: Previously published as The Bigamist: the true story of a husband's ultimate betrayal, this edition of The Bigamist includes editorial revisions. ISBN: 9781542024969.

Cognitive Dimensions of Social Science

Oxford University Press, 2001. Paperback. Pp: 183. What will be the future of social science? Where exactly do we stand, and where do we go from here? What kinds of problems should we be addressing, with what kinds of approaches and arguments? In Cognitive Dimensions of Social Science, Mark Turner offers an answer to these pressing questions: social science is headed toward convergence with cognitive science. Together they will give us a new and better approach to the study of what human beings are, what human beings do, what kind of mind they have, and how that mind developed over the history of the species. Turner, one of the originators of the cognitive scientific theory of conceptual integration, here explores how the application of that theory enriches the social scientific study of meaning, culture, identity, reason, choice, judgment, decision, innovation, and invention. About fifty thousand years ago, humans made a spectacular advance: they became cognitively modern. This development made possible the invention of the vast range of knowledge, practices, and institutions that social scientists try to explain. For Turner, the anchor of all social science - anthropology, political science, sociology, economics - must be the study of the cognitively modern human mind. In this book, Turner moves the study of those extraordinary mental powers to the center of social scientific research and analysis. ISBN: 9780195165395. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Corporate Culture

Hutchinson Business Books, 1990. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 240. The culture of an organization defines appropriate behaviour, bonds and motivates individuals and asserts solutions where there is ambiguity. It governs the way a company processes information, its internal relations and its values. It functions at all levels from subconscious to visible. In the world of increasingly "flat" companies and sophisticated "knowledge-based" products, control and understanding of an organization's corporate culture are a key responsibility of leaders, as well as a vital tool for mangement if it is to encourage high performance and maintain shareholder value.
