Freud's Foes

Psychoanalysis, Science, and Resistance

By: Kurt Jacobsen

Freud's Foes, the latest title in the Polemics series, addresses Freud's fiercest contemporary critics. The book defends psychoanalysis (while accepting that it has inherent flaws) and argues that although today's "foes" pose as daring savants, they are only the latest wave of critiques that psychoanalysis has encountered since its controversial birth and their arguments are easily debunked.

The Good, the Bad, and the Godawful

21st-Century Movie Reviews

By: Kurt Loder

The former Rolling Stone writer and MTV host takes off from classic Roger Ebert and sails boldly into the new millennium. Millions grew up reading the author's record reviews and watching him on MTV's "The Week in Rock." In this collection of more than 200 movie reviews from MTV.com and, more recently, the Reason magazine Website, plus sidebars exclusive to this volume, Loder demonstrates his characteristic wry voice and finely honed observations. The author shines when writing on the best that Hollywood and indie filmmakers have to offer, and his negative reviews are sometimes more fun than his raves. This freewheeling survey of the wild, the wonderful and the altogether otherwise is an indispensable book for any film buff.

Before Seattle Rocked

A City and Its Music

Before Seattle Rocked

A City and Its Music

By: Kurt E. Armbruster

Seattle is a music town with rich, deep roots that have influenced the culture and identity of its civic life for decades. In a society that appreciates music but is ambivalent toward the profession of making it, the importance and contribution of Seattle's musicians have been routinely overlooked in historical accounts of the city. Kurt Armbruster fills that gap in this far-reaching and entertaining panorama of Seattle music from the 1890s to the 1960s, "before Seattle rocked." For this once-remote city, music forged links as real as those created by railroads and steamships. Classical music embodied the middle-class aspirations for gentility and cosmopolitan stature; jazz and blues gave Seattle's small African American community a vehicle for affirmation and economic advancement; ethnic music helped immigrants adjust to a new home; songs and drumming kept the memories of the Duwamish alive in a changing world. Before Seattle Rocked is enlivened by personal anecdotes and memories from many of Seattle's most beloved musicians and is enriched by historic photos of the changing music scene. Watch the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyo22tC6PkQ&feature=channel_video_title Before Seattle Rocked was made possible in part by a grant from 4Culture's Heritage Program.

Strategy in Turbulent Times

How to Design a Strategy That Is Robust and Future-Proof

By: Kurt Verweire

Companies face increasingly turbulent times. Economic and political uncertainty, sustainability developments, and competitors with new business models are just some issues that stretch companies' resilience and adaptability. Strategy in Turbulent Times presents a way of analyzing and fighting turbulent environments. Using four animal metaphors, the Camel, Salmon, Chameleon and Octopus, it shows you how to develop new strategies and how to implement them. It is up to you to discover which animal represents the appropriate turbulence strategy for your organization. 'Strategy in Turbulent Times' is a wonderful and practical book, full of inspiring examples that examines how organizations can respond to turbulence. This excellent book is full of fresh ideas and practical advice. It deserves to be widely read and be on the shelf of every senior executive crafting their organisation's strategy. - Costas Markides | Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship | Holder of the Robert Bauman Chair in Strategic Leadership | London Business School Strategy in Turbulent Times provides a state of the art playbook for the tactics you can use to make sense of and respond to the forces of disruption in your industry. - Julian Birkinshaw | Vice Dean & Professor of Strategy | London Business School Kurt Verweire successfully explains how to understand and tackle a turbulent environment in this highly relevant book. - Marion Debruyne | Dean Vlerick Business School Kurt Verweire offers us practical insights. This is useful material for any manager seeking opportunities in what I like to call The Never Normal. - Peter Hinssen | Author | Keynote-speaker and Serial Entrepreneur Strategy and turbulence... two words that capture the essence of many companies' current transformation efforts. Much akin to a cyclist navigating a mountainous terrain, success lies in balancing the focus on the summit while acknowledging the significance of each pedal's stroke. Profits aren't assured, yet a steadfast strategy and unwavering execution significantly tip the scales toward success. - Erik Luts | Chief Innovation Officer KBC Group

Cross and Culture

Can Jesus Save the West?

By: Kurt Mahlburg

Is There Hope in the Chaos? Our civilisation is unstable. Everyone can feel it. We face a looming mental health crisis. Slavery, censorship and superstition are back. Our politics are polarising. All the affluence in the world can’t seem to quench our thirst for meaning and purpose. But maybe there is hope—if we know where to look. In this timely book, Kurt Mahlburg shows how profoundly the West has been shaped by the life and teachings of Jesus—from our democratic freedoms and our pursuit of reason and science to our belief that every life is precious. Could rediscovering Jesus be the answer to our crisis?

The Mind Club

Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why It Matters

By: Daniel M. Wegner,Kurt Gray

“Compelling, and so beautifully written…’The Mind Club’ deftly brings the most up-to-date research about other minds to readers of all backgrounds. It may cause you to think differently about crime and punishment, about business transactions and health care, and even about the upcoming elections. Things might just start looking up.”–The Wall Street Journal From dogs to gods, the science of understanding mysterious minds—including your own. Nothing seems more real than the minds of other people. When you consider what your boss is thinking or whether your spouse is happy, you are admitting them into the "mind club." It’s easy to assume other humans can think and feel, but what about a cow, a computer, a corporation? What kinds of mind do they have? Daniel M. Wegner and Kurt Gray are award-winning psychologists who have discovered that minds—while incredibly important—are a matter of perception. Their research opens a trove of new findings, with insights into human behavior that are fascinating, frightening and funny. The Mind Club explains why we love some animals and eat others, why people debate the existence of God so intensely, how good people can be so cruel, and why robots make such poor lovers. By investigating the mind perception of extraordinary targets—animals, machines, comatose people, god—Wegner and Gray explain what it means to have a mind, and why it matters so much. Fusing cutting-edge research and personal anecdotes, The Mind Club explores the moral dimensions of mind perception with wit and compassion, revealing the surprisingly simple basis for what compels us to love and hate, to harm and to protect.

Diarios

By: Kurt Cobain

Los Diarios de Kurt Cobain constituyen la mejor biografía del artista. Las cartas, dibujos, comentarios humorísticos y esbozos de letras de canciones de su puño y letra permiten el acercamiento y la comprensión de su vida y de su muerte UNA DE LAS 30 MEJORES BIOGRAFÍAS SEGÚN ELLE Kurt Cobain, vocalista y compositor del trío Nirvana, se suicidó pegándose un tiro a los veintisiete años cuando era la estrella del rock más influyente de su generación. Desde los años ochenta hasta mediados de los noventa llevó un diario donde plasmó sus pensamientos más íntimos. En estas páginas se dan a conocer, de un modo descarnado, los primeros pasos en su carrera profesional, su angustia frente a la fama, los problemas con la adicción a la heroína, la depresión y la compleja relación con su mujer, Courtney Love, y su hija. Entre cartas, dibujos, comentarios humorísticos y esbozos de letras de canciones estos diarios dan forma a la que fue durante una época la estrella más grande del panorama musical. Kurt Cobain, una figura escuálida de la ciudad de Aberdeen, Seattle, se convirtió en un Mesías del sufrimiento y la rabia, la perfecta representación del espíritu rebelde, del marginal atractivo, de un millonario punk; una contradicción que convirtió su existencia en algo insostenible. «Dios mío, estoy tan harto de la banalidad del rock. Me pregunto qué voy a hacer cuando sea viejo si ya lo sé todo sobre el rock ́n ́roll a los diecinueve años», escribe Cobain. Y de este modo, a través de la escritura angustiada de un adolescente a la exaltación de sí mismo, entre autoanálisis agudos y la representación de estados anímicos con sus dibujos y garabatos, estos diarios constituyen la mejor biografía de Cobain. Y su lectura es la manera más clara de conocer y entender su vida y su muerte. Reseñas: «Un básico para conocer al músico. Nada es más amargo y oscuro que sus propias palabras.» Esquire «Un relato [...] que sirve para calibrar los efectos de la gloria sobre un simple mortal.» ABC

O MAIS PRECIOSO RETRATO SOBRE A VIDA E OS PENSAMENTOS DE KURT COBAIN Pela primeira vez, 27 anos depois da morte de Kurt Cobain, seus diários finalmente chegam ao Brasil traduzidos para o português. Durante sua carreira, o líder do Nirvana preencheu cadernos com letras de música, desenhos e reflexões sobre seus planos para a banda, bem como pensamentos sobre fama, o status da música e as pessoas que compraram e venderam sua música. Os Diários revelam um artista que amava música e estava determinado a definir seu lugar na história do rock. Este é o melhor e o mais precioso retrato sobre a vida e os pensamentos de Kurt Cobain, que ele próprio escreveu à mão sem imaginar que um dia se tornaria um documento para a história do rock e um presente para milhões de órfãos do Nirvana. Finalmente, 27 anos depois de sua morte, seus cadernos com letras de música, desenhos e reflexões estão reunidos nesta edição bilíngue, com as anotações do autor originais em inglês e, ao lado, a tradução para o português. Esboços das grandes canções, pensamentos à frente do seu tempo, situações antes e durante a fama e todo seu desconforto com ela, a relação com as drogas, os sentimentos, as emoções, os desabafos, as ideias. Tudo isso é contado ao leitor por Kurt, da forma mais crua possível. Ler seus Diários é mergulhar na mente de Kurt, que era criativa e genial, mas ao mesmo tempo depressiva e inquieta. Se você ler, você vai julgar.

Artwork

By: Kurt Cobain

Through his songs and lyrics, Kurt Cobain became one of the Twentieth century's most emblematic and resonant icons. By the time of his death in 1994, whether he wanted it or not, he had become one of the world's most famous and revered musicians. He left behind a legacy which has continued to influence musicians the world over. When his journals were published in 2002, they articulated the creativity and despair of a contemporary genius and the world in which he lived. Now for the first time, his fans will get an even more searing insight into what drove Cobain the man as well as the musician when his artworks are revealed to the world in this extraordinary and revelatory book. An art student by training, art was Cobain's primary means of unlocking the darker recesses of his mind. Here is a visceral trip through the contents of that mind - through painting, sculpture, drawing, graphics, the reader gets a very physical sense of Cobain's state of mind and an unparalleled idea of how creatively expressive he was in other media than music.

Territorial Pissinigs

L'ultima intervista e altre conversazioni

By: Kurt Cobain

Il 5 aprile del 1994, con un colpo di fucile, Kurt Cobain si toglie la vita. Ha ventisette anni, come ventisette anni avevano, al momento della morte, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison. Tre anni prima, con Nevermind, i Nirvana avevano cambiato per sempre la storia della musica rock, inanellando una serie di canzoni nelle quali i Beatles e la sensibilità punk trovavano un incredibile e armonico punto d'incontro. Accanto al corpo di Cobain viene ritrovata una lettera d'addio dalla quale emergono con chiarezza la difficoltà nel gestire il successo e l'esposizione mediatica, lo stato di sofferenza fisica che lo avevano indotto a usare l'eroina come antidolorifico, l'incapacità di conciliare una sensibilità fuori dal comune e una fama improvvisa e travolgente. Le interviste raccolte in Territorial Pissings consentono di ricostruire, attraverso le sue stesse parole, la vita, le idee, la concezione musicale di un genio fragile, che ha saputo, quasi contro la sua stessa volontà, farsi portavoce di una generazione lontana dagli antichi sogni rivoluzionari e dalle grandi ideologie ma carica di una creatività e di una rabbia probabilmente irripetibili.

Love, Kurt

The Vonnegut Love Letters, 1941-1945

By: Kurt Vonnegut

A never-before-seen collection of deeply personal love letters from Kurt Vonnegut to his first wife, Jane, compiled and edited by their daughter “A glimpse into the mind of a writer finding his voice.”—The Washington Post “If ever I do write anything of length—good or bad—it will be written with you in mind.” Kurt Vonnegut’s eldest daughter, Edith, was cleaning out her mother’s attic when she stumbled upon a dusty, aged box. Inside, she discovered an unexpected treasure: more than two hundred love letters written by Kurt to Jane, spanning the early years of their relationship. The letters begin in 1941, after the former schoolmates reunited at age nineteen, sparked a passionate summer romance, and promised to keep in touch when they headed off to their respective colleges. And they did, through Jane’s conscientious studying and Kurt’s struggle to pass chemistry. The letters continue after Kurt dropped out and enlisted in the army in 1943, while Jane in turn graduated and worked for the Office of Strategic Services in Washington, D.C. They also detail Kurt’s deployment to Europe in 1944, where he was taken prisoner of war and declared missing in action, and his eventual safe return home and the couple’s marriage in 1945. Full of the humor and wit that we have come to associate with Kurt Vonnegut, the letters also reveal little-known private corners of his mind. Passionate and tender, they form an illuminating portrait of a young soldier’s life in World War II as he attempts to come to grips with love and mortality. And they bring to light the origins of Vonnegut the writer, when Jane was the only person who believed in and supported him supported him, the young couple having no idea how celebrated he would become. A beautiful full-color collection of handwritten letters, notes, sketches, and comics, interspersed with Edith’s insights and family memories, Love, Kurt is an intimate record of a young man growing into himself, a fascinating account of a writer finding his voice, and a moving testament to the life-altering experience of falling in love.
