Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll by Zoe Cormier Pdf

What led scientists to have acrobats copulate inside an MRI machine? Why do wordless patterns of sound send shivers down our spines and tickle ancient parts of our brains? How did a chemist's quest to create a drug to ease the pain of childbirth result in the creation of LSD? And did it change our understanding of the brain forever? From tortoiseshell condoms to superstar athletes on hallucinogens, science writer Zoe Cormier dissects these and other burning questions, amplifying them with insights from some of the world's bravest, cleverest, and downright weirdest scientists. Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll explores science at the edge, where scientists ask big, strange questions -- and sometimes experiment on themselves to find answers. It shines a light into the lesser-known corners of scientific research to gain insight into the nature of consciousness, happiness, and humanity. Not to mention our parties. Here are stories of unconventional scientists, innovative inquiries, hedonistic impulses -- and how the renegades of science have illuminated the secrets of our baser impulses.

Ian Dury : sex & drugs & rock & roll by Anonim Pdf

Inventeur de la devise légendaire : "Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'roll", Ian Dury, trente-cinq ans, est alors désigné comme le "parrain du punk". N'est-il pas le premier, en 1974, à porter une lame de rasoir et une épingle à nourrice à l'oreille ? Malcom McLaren, futur manager des Sex Pistols, considère qu'il tient la bonne attitude au point de le piller sciemment lors de la mise en orbite des Sex Pistols. Sauf que Dury, la rage au ventre, a déjà une longueur d'avance. Il deviendra alors une icône outre-Atlantique, le Gainsbourg anglais, et les points communs sont légion : dandysme magnétique, même rapport aux femmes, aux nuits blanches épiques et aux excès. Tous deux ont arrêté la peinture à trente ans. Gainsbourg et sa sale gueule. Dury et sa polio, contractée à sept ans. Dury et ses textes viscéralement cockneys. Argot de la rue et des prisons en guise d'uppercuts scandés à la face des maisons de disques ayant jugé son handicap incompatible avec le statut de rock'n'roll star. Célébré en son temps en France et en Europe, Dury, baptisé dans les eaux bénies du rock, est emporté par un cancer en mars 2000. Pour la première fois en France, une biographie extraordinaire vous plonge dans les entrailles de l'une des figures les plus marquantes et les plus énigmatiques de l'histoire du rock et de la culture pop de ces quarante dernières années.

The Goddess of Fireflies by Geneviève Pettersen Pdf

The year is 1996, and small-town life for 14-year-old Catherine is made up of punk rock, skaters, shoplifting, and the ghost of Kurt Cobain. Her parents are too busy divorcing to pay her headful of unspent angst much attention. But after she tries mess - a PCP variant - for the first time, her budding rebellion begins to spiral out of control. Universally acclaimed as the modern-day coming-of-age story for a generation of Québécois youth growing up in the 1990s, Géneviève Pettersen's award-winning debut novel both shocked and titillated readers in its original French, who quickly ordained it a contemporary classic and a runaway bestseller. Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, the hotly tipped Québécois director behind Inch-Allah (2012), is currently adapting the story to film. Now Esplanade Books is honored to present The Goddess of Fireflies to English readers for the first time in a powerful translation from award-winning novelist Neil Smith, author of Boo and Bang Crunch.

Ian Dury by Will Birch Pdf

'Does a fantastic job tracing the development of Dury's career. It also shows how Ian's life shaped his uniquely individualistic style.' Peter Hook (former Joy Division and New Order bassist), Daily Mirror. Widely described as 'punk's poet laureate', Ian Dury is a cultural icon. With his band The Blockheads, he exploded onto the television screen in 1978, appearing on Top of the Pops with his hit single 'What a Waste', followed later that year by 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'. By now Ian was thirty-six and had worked hard for many years to reach this moment, struggling all the while to find acceptance in spite of the disability he suffered as a result of childhood polio. And yet fame, when it came, almost destroyed him. This groundbreaking and authoritative book gives the first in-depth and compelling account of the life of this charismatic yet complex artist. Author Will Birch interviewed Dury several times during his lifetime, and has also spoken to more than sixty people who were extremely close to Ian, including family members, fellow musicians, friends, lovers and business associates.

Sex Bombs and Burgers by Peter Nowak Pdf

In this surprising history of technology, Peter Nowak argues that most of the innovations that make modern life modern can be directly traced to one of three questionable aspects of human activity—war, porn, and the fast food industry. Following developments in technology from the 1940s to the present, Nowak reveals the links between Barbie and U.S. missile systems, how the porn industry killed Betamax, and why Niue, Polynesia, is the phone-sex capital of the world. He exposes the unexpected origins of many common household items, such as cellphones, microwave ovens, and plastic packaging, and raises the disturbing question of where we would be, technologically speaking, without our basest desires.

Shakin' All Over by George McKay Pdf

Given the explosion in recent years of scholarship exploring the ways in which disability is manifested and performed in numerous cultural spaces, it’s surprising that until now there has never been a single monograph study covering the important intersection of popular music and disability. George McKay’s Shakin’ All Over is a cross-disciplinary examination of the ways in which popular music performers have addressed disability: in their songs, in their live performances, and in various media presentations. By looking closely into the work of artists such as Johnny Rotten, Neil Young, Johnnie Ray, Ian Dury, Teddy Pendergrass, Curtis Mayfield, and Joni Mitchell, McKay investigates such questions as how popular music works to obscure and accommodate the presence of people with disabilities in its cultural practice. He also examines how popular musicians have articulated the experiences of disability (or sought to pass), or have used their cultural arena for disability advocacy purposes.
