We are a product of our genes and experience; nature and nurture. Thankfully, most of us have the right balance, but Quentin Legard's life is a mess. His criminal past is laid bare in this novel as he is forced to look in the mirror. He doesn't know that the highest authority in the land has decreed that he must face his demons and justice. Ray Quinn is on his tail and the climax is as stunning as it is unexpected.
The central theme of the stories is the importance of time. It's nature's gift to all of us and we are all subject to its passing from the moment we draw our first breath, and yet we have no control over the speed of its passing. We can, however, learn to use it to our own advantage.It's what successful people do and others don't. Do you use time wisely? Can you make time stand still? Do you have the gift?
Paul Stuart does it again! His 3rd novel in the Connections series never lets you rest. With more twists and turns than a Cornish lane, you won't want to put it down. The John Lomax story reaches its climax in stunning fashion. Can Lomax survive? Does his beloved Leanne stay with him? What about Billy? Ray Quinn drives the plot but is he even safe? Hold on to your hat; it's a bumpy ride.
In The Political Force of Musical Beauty, Barry Shank shows how musical acts and performances generate their own aesthetic and political force, creating, however fleetingly, a shared sense of the world among otherwise diverse listeners. Rather than focusing on the ways in which music enables the circulation of political messages, he argues that communities grounded in the act and experience of listening can give rise to new political ideas and expression. Analyzing a wide range of "beautiful music" within popular and avant-garde genres—including the Japanese traditions in the music of Takemitsu Toru and Yoko Ono, the drone of the Velvet Underground, and the insistence of hardcore punk and Riot grrrl post-punk—Shank finds that when it fulfills the promise of combining sonic and lyrical differences into a cohesive whole, musical beauty has the power to reorganize the basis of social relations and produce communities that recognize meaningful difference.
