Still Following Percy

Still Following Percy

Lewis A. Lawson

University Press of Mississippi
2007
nidottu
When critics first began to respond to the fiction of Walker Percy, they frequently refarded it as a fiction of ideas. The most significant themes were Percy's religious, philosophical, and cultural beliefs. Such conceptions of the man were grounded in his own essays, a genre which in his hands tended toward the impersonal and the abstract. In time Percy critics like William Rodney Allen began to prove into Percy's biography for resources that verified their intense critical speculations about the background of Percy's fiction. In his childhood was his father's suicide and its significant emergence in his fiction. Percy's biographers have continued this investigation of the father's influence. Jay Tolson deftly represent the theme of the paternal death as a vacuum Percy felt throughout his life, while Bertram Wyatt-Brown studied the Percy family ethos, which he showed to be shadowed for two hundred years by high expectations, depression, and self-destruction. Now, in Still Following Percy, a collection of interrelated essays, Lewis Lawson studies the Percy canon to speculate that an earlier and more fundamental shaping of Walker Percy's character and fictional imagination was his sense of the in adequacy of the relationship with he as an infant had with his mother and of her early death. Lawson argues that the sense of loss led to Percy's tendency to regression, to his need to create his own life narrative in fiction after psychoanalysis had been insufficient as a means of reconstruction, and to his conversion to Roman Catholicism. Lawson interprets Percy's conversion as a statement of the possibility of reconciliation through the transcendent truth.

Lewis A. Coser versucht in diesem Klassiker der modernen Sozialwissenschaften im Anschluß an Georg Simmels berühmter Untersuchung über den "Streit" den Begriff des sozialen Konfliktes zu klären und dessen empirische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Als eines der wichtigsten Bücher der neueren Konfliktforschung hat es in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts die in diesem Zusammenhang geführten theoretischen Kontroversen maßgeblich bestimmt und eine Vielzahl von empirischen Untersuchungen angeregt.

Giriga institutioner : sociologiska studier av totalt engagemang

Giriga institutioner : sociologiska studier av totalt engagemang

Lewis A Coser

Arkiv förlag/A-Z förlag
2025
nidottu
Giriga institutioner tar sig an ett iögonfallande samhällsfenomen: sociala gemenskaper och organisationer som förväntar sig totalt engagemang och fullständig lojalitet av sina medlemmar. Lewis A. Coser visar hur denna mekanism har verkat i religiösa sekter och revolutionära partier, format livet för de rikas tjänstefolk, tvingat såväl katolska kyrkans präster som imperiernas soldater att leva i celibat. Andra gemenskaper, främst familjen, har hotat lojaliteten med den giriga institutionen. Men den moderna kärnfamiljen är också en "glupsk gemenskap", vars anspråk på tid och engagemang konkurrerar med de krav som det moderna arbetslivet ställer. Giriga institutioner (Greedy institutions) som ursprungligen publicerades 1974 är en föredömlig illustration av hur ett nytt teoretiskt perspektiv kan förklara en rad till synes disparata fenomen. I en nyskriven inledning presenterar sociologen Ola Agevall boken, författaren och hans tid.

Nutrition and Medical Practice

Nutrition and Medical Practice

Lewis A. Barness; Yank D. Coble; Donald Ian MacDonald; George Christakis

Springer
2012
nidottu
All forms of life require food materials in certain minimum amounts to insure an active life and successful reproduction. Nutrition is concerned with what these materials are, how they function, what effects they have when absent and what happens to them when ingested. During the past two centuries such nutritional disorders as scurvy, beriberi, rickets and pellagra have been discovered, successfully treated and eradicated by physicians in developed countries. In this century, such noted researchers as Rose, Meyerhof and Krebs have contributed enormously to the field of nutrition. Currently, research is evolving new concepts and facts so rapidly that the average practitioner can hardly keep current, even in his own field of medicine. Bona fide research by universities and governmental agen­ cies has produced voluminous information, much of which seems contra­ dictory and therefore tends to confuse the general public, particularly in the area of potential carcinogens. This confusion has prompted consumer groups, politicians, and social welfarists to bring pressures and demands on medical schools and prac­ titioners of medicine to increase their knowledge and concern in the field of nutrition. Taking advantage of and adding to this confusion are the health food faddists and cultists, some only for monetary gain and others with a real religious zeal.

Living with the Georgia Shore

Living with the Georgia Shore

Tonya D. Clayton; Lewis A. Taylor; William J. Cleary; Paul Hosier; Peter H. F. Graber; Orrin H. Pilkey

Duke University Press
1992
sidottu
The wide sandy beaches, quiet maritime forests, and vast Spartina marshes of the natural Georgia coast create a most spectacular, albeit gentle, Southern beauty. Casual visitors and longtime residents alike have been charmed by this special place. Living with the Georgia Shore provides an essential reference and guide for residents, visitors, developers, planners, and all who are concerned with the conditions and future of Georgia's coastal zone.Recounting the human and natural history of the islands, the authors look in particular at the phenomenon of coastal erosion and the implications of various responses to this process. In Georgia, as elsewhere in the United States, the future of the shore is in doubt as recreational and residential development demands increase. This book provides guidelines for living with the shore, as opposed to simply living on it. The former requires planning and a wise choice of property or house site. The latter ignores the potential hazards unique to coastal life and may make inadequate allowance for the dramatic changes that can occur on any sandy ocean shore. Living with the Georgia Shore includes an introduction to each of the Georgia isles, an overview of federal and state coastal land-use regulations, pointers on buying and building at the shore, a hurricane preparation checklist, a history of recent hurricanes in Georgia, an extensive annotated bibliography, and a guide to government agencies and private groups involved in issues of coastal development.
