This book on initial inspection would appear to be a biography but it is, he believes, much more than that and as such should be read with a view to getting an insight into the author's thoughts on life's theatre as it plays out around us all. Home and work environment, mid twentieth century style, give way to his comment on many aspects of the design failures which have sort of painted us all into the corner, with only bigger and bigger "Bucks" to get us out. On the larger and more pressing issues, his main reason for writing this will leave the reader with little doubt on this score! An appendix which he felt "needed an airing" is an added operation which he tables for debate but please don't take it out on him; or me, should he say; "He's spaced out enough" but Time will Tell, in the end! P.S. He says he'd love to come back and give the comment "I told you so" but being a realist leaves him with some doubt on this possibility let alone probability! Perhaps he should have gone to "Universe City" in his earlier days that is! A larger print version of the author's thoughts on the Universe as he sees it is available under the title "LAYMAN'S UNIVERSE".

This book is presented as a "Large Print" version of Annex (2) contained in "Life around Black Holes". The title sort of gives the game away but it was written, in the main, some time ago prior to such revelations as the probability of "Black Holes" in all galaxies and the "Dark" side extravaganza (he would term it) and this tends towards its credibility as an option to challenge certainly some of the bizarre proposals which abound our media sources. It gives one man's viewpoint on many aspects of that which encommpasses us all, using logic and some speculation together with a dose of the known facts, in the mix, so to speak. To "wet your taste buds" keep in mind that "The Dark Side" is not just a "Star Wars" term it is also as yet, a figment of the imagination in relation to Dark Energy; Matter and Flow, which appear to have been sort of "plucked out of space" to explain deviations from physics norms. The Author (and probably you) believes that the human brain could never accept "Something from Nothing in virtually no time" and as such definitive solutions giving a starting point for all things tangible and otherwise including that known as "The Universe" are, let us say, a very long way off! Or "Light Years" away as the old saying goes and even after writing this the difficulty of accepting even just a single one of these as a measure of distance is recognised (about 6 trillion miles) is hardly nextdoor, shall we say! Little wonder that they think we will need a long kip on our travels through the Cosmos and a return ticket might expire, that is if you don't! The content also reflects his views on all that we are or have become with reasoned approach to Life, Evolution and the rest of it, so read on absorb, make your own conclusions and then tell him what you think.

An innovative contribution to Scriabin studies, covering aspects of Scriabin's life, personality, beliefs, training, creative output, and interaction with contemporary Russian culture.This book is an innovative contribution to Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) studies, covering aspects of Scriabin's life, personality, beliefs, training, creative output, as well as his interaction with contemporary Russian culture. It offers new and original research from leading and upcoming Russian music scholars. Key Scriabin topics such as mysticism, philosophy, music theory, contemporary aesthetics, and composition processes are covered. Musical coverage spans the composer's early, middle and late period. All main repertoire is being discussed: the piano miniatures and sonatas as well as the symphonies. In more detail, chapters consider: Scriabin's part in early twentieth-century Russia's cultural climate; how Scriabin moved from early pastiche to a style much more original; the influence of music theory on Scriabin's idiosyncratic style; the changing contexts of Scriabin performances; new aspects of reception studies. Further chapters offer: a critical understanding of how Scriabin's writings sit within the traditions of Mysticism as well as French and Russian Symbolism; a new investigation into his creative compositional process; miniaturism and its wider context; a new reading of the composer's mysticism and synaesthesia. Analytical chapters reach out of the score to offer an interpretative framework; accepting new approaches from disability studies; investigating the complex interaction of rhythm and metre and modal interactions, the latent diatonic 'tonal function' of Scriabin's late works, as well as self-regulating structures in the composer's music.

'Emile Durkheim and the Collective Consciousness of Society: A Study in Criminology' challenges conventional thinking on the use of Durkheim's key concept of the 'collective consciousness of society', and represents the first ever book-length treatment of this underexplored topic. Operating from both a criminological and sociological perspective, Kenneth Smith argues that Durkheim's original concept must be sensitively revised and updated for its real relevance to come to the fore.This study puts forward three major adjustments to Durkheim's concept of the collective consciousness. It complicates the idea that the common and collective consciousness are interchangeable terms for the same phenomenon; it refutes the 'disciplinary' function of society as part of the concept of the common or collective consciousness; and it reveals the illusiveness of the supposed universal set of equally held ideas in a society, underlining the importance of geographical and generational variation.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to all three volumes of Karl Marxs Capital, with advice on further reading and points for further discussion. Recognizing the contemporary relevance of Capital in the midst of the current financial crisis, Kenneth Smith has produced an essential guide to Marxs ideas, particularly on the subject of the circulation of money-capital. This guide uniquely presents the three volumes of Capital in a different order of reading to that in which they were published, placing them instead in the order that Marx himself sometimes recommended as a more user-friendly way of reading. Dr Smith also argues that for most of the twentieth century, the full development of the capitalist mode of production (CMP) has been undermined by the existence of a non-capitalist third world, which has caused the CMP to take on the form of what Marx called a highly developed mercantile system, rather than one characterized by an uninterrupted circuit of industrial capital of the kind he expected would develop. While the guide can be read as a book in its own right, it also contains detailed references to Volumes IIII so that students, seminars and discussion groups can easily make connections between Smiths explanations and the relevant parts of Capital.
