Matthew Sturgis: Relative Failures

Relative Failures

Jewish Lives

A thought-provoking account of the life and work of Franz Boas and his influential role in shaping modern anthropology &nbsp; Franz Boas (1858–1942) is widely acknowledged for his pioneering work in the field of cultural anthropology. His rigorous studies of variations across societies were aimed at demonstrating that cultures and peoples were not shaped by biological predispositions. This book traces Boas’s life and intellectual passions from his roots in Germany and his move to the United States in 1884, partly in response to growing antisemitism in Germany, to his work with First Nations communities and his influential role as a teacher, mentor, and engaged activist who inspired an entire generation. &nbsp; Drawing from Boas’s numerous but rarely read writings, Noga Arikha brings to life the man and the ideas he developed about the complex interplay of mind and culture, biology and history, language and myth. She provides a comprehensive picture of the cultural contexts in which he worked, of his personal and professional relationships, and of his revolutionary approach to fieldwork. He was celebrated in his lifetime for the cultural relativism he developed and the arguments he marshaled against entrenched racialism. But his was a constant battle, and Arikha shows how urgently relevant his voice and legacy have become again today.

'A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told' Sunday Telegraph Roger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, 'sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore. PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS 'It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis's passion ... I recommend it' Sunday Times 'Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement' Literary Review

A mind-expanding look into the 'art' of lucid dreaming, Doodles In The Dark shows you how to use your dreams to unleash your creativity. Have you ever been aware that you were dreaming, and used that awareness to influence the course of your dream? Then you've experienced lucid dreaming. A long-standing tradition among Tibetan Buddhists, who practice dream yoga during their sleep, lucid dreaming is a type of meditation in which the dream state becomes a means for spiritual practice, self-discovery and even creativity. Using fascinating sleep and dream science, Doodles In The Dark walks you through the unique process of lucid dreaming. Renowned artist Dave Green draws on his own experiences of lucid dreaming and the whimsical line drawings he creates in his dreams, sharing detailed techniques and practices to both induce lucid dreams and create amazing artwork that will help you better understand your own creative power. Part personal story, part scientific caper and part creative guidebook, Doodles In The Dark takes you on a journey to understand your dreaming mind.
