Logan himself - as his friend Peter Scabius rises to literary stardom - also suffers a mighty fall. By the s, after a period as a schoolmaster in Biafra, and now quite forgotten as a writer, he is living on dogfood and selling revolutionary newspapers in London - a profession which leads him into involvement with the Baader-Meinhof Gang. Inconceivable as it may seem, the links between these different lives are plausibly entwined. The only false thread is the introduction into the New York art-scene sections, alongside Jackson Pollock and Frank O'Hara, of the bogus American painter Nat Tate, whose "biography" Boyd published as a hoax in The device punctures the realism Boyd has so carefully built up in the rest of the novel. At the same time, however, the Tate references remind us that Any Human Heart is a created work expressing the concerns, passions and hobbyhorses of its begetter - just as, in one sense, Logan's journal does. As he puts it: "We keep a journal to entrap the collection of selves that forms us, the individual human being. Yet while it proclaims its own internal flux "the true journal If it is not quite as successful as what might be taken as its companion among Boyd's other volumes, The New Confessions , which used Rousseau as a sounding board to recount another 20th- century life, that's because that book was one of the best novels of recent times.

  • Cognition and Emotion: from Order to Disorder [Book Review]
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:13 12 August 2016 COGNITION AND EMOTION This fully updated edition of the highly praised Cognition and Emotion provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and traditional philosophical perspectives on both normal emotional experience and emotional disorders. Uniquely, this book integrates two areas which are often treated separately: the main theories of normal emotions and theories of emotional disorders (e.g. depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias). It draws these strands together with a theoretical framework which can be applied to both normal and disordered emotions. The authors also provide a comprehensive review of the literature on cognition and emotion, including coverage of the historical background and philosophy of emotion, and research on the five basic emotions of fear, anger, sadness, disgust and happiness. Cognition and Emotion provides a novel approach with a range of implications for clinical practice. It will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on emotion. Mick Power is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at the National University of Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:13 12 August 2016 Singapore. In the past he has worked at universities and hospitals in London, Edinburgh, Norway, Italy, China and New Zealand. He has worked for the Medical Research Council and for many years has been a Research Advisor with the World Health Organization.

  • TENDER TRIUMPH JUDITH Mcnaught
    TENDER TRIUMPH JUDITH McNAUGHT "Ramon, Do You Know How to Dance?" Katie As k ed . They were surrounded by couples dancing, loud music blasting over the loudspeakers. Flinging his cigar away in a glowing red arc, he said tersely, "Yes, Katie, I know how to dance. I know how to swim. I know how to tie my own shoes. I have a slight accent, which you seem to think means I am backward and ignorant, but which many women find attractive." Katie stiffened angrily, and said very quietly and very distinctly, "Go to hell." Intending to walk away, she pivoted on her heel, then gasped in surprise as Ramon's hand clamped on her arm, jerking her around to face him. He gazed down into her stormy blue eyes and a reluctant smile of admiration broke across his features . "Katie," he breathed as his firm, sensual mouth descended to hers . A jolt rocked through Katie as his warm lips covered hers in a lingering kiss . This novel is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either the product of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Baker beyond, and to the east the rilled and ridged monstrosities humping to the Cascade Ridge, and after that first time suddenly realizing “It’s me that’s changed and done all this and come and gone and complained and hurt and joyed and yelled, not the Void” and so that every time I thought of the void I’d be looking at Mt. Hozomeen (because chair and bed and meadowgrass faced north) until I realized “Hozomeen is the Void—at least Hozomeen means the void to my eyes”—Stark naked rock, pinnacles and thousand feet high protruding from hunch- muscles another thousand feet high protruding from immense timbered shoulders, and the green pointy-fir snake of my own (Starvation) ridge wriggling to it, to its awful vaulty blue smokebody rock, and the “clouds of hope” lazing in Canada beyond with their tittlefaces and parallel lumps and
