Maverick
Author: Jason Riley
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781541619685
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A biography of Thomas Sowell, one of America's most influential conservative thinkers Thomas Sowell is one of the great social theorists of our age. In a career spanning more than a half century, he has written over thirty books, covering topics from economic history and social inequality to political theory, race, and culture. His bold and unsentimental assaults on liberal orthodoxy have endeared him to many readers but have also enraged fellow intellectuals, the civil-rights establishment, and much of the mainstream media. The result has been a lack of acknowledgment of his scholarship among critics who prioritize political correctness. In the first-ever biography of Sowell, Jason Riley gives this iconic thinker his due and responds to the detractors. Maverick showcases Sowell's most significant writings and traces the life events that shaped his ideas and resulted in a Black orphan from the Jim Crow South becoming one of our foremost public intellectuals.

Fire Bone!
Author: Robert W. Bone
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780990509103
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
In 1968, future "gonzo journalist" Hunter S. Thompson predicted Bob Bone would write a book someday "on How to Beat the NY Big Salary-Death-in-Life Syndrome." This, at last, is that book. Robert W. Bone has visited every continent and covered at least 75 countries. For four decades, thousands of travelers to Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand carried the latest editions of his prize-winning Maverick Guides or read his groundbreaking work on the "last frontier," Fielding's Alaska and the Yukon. He wrote travel articles for magazines, and using his personal syndication system, hundreds more for the travel sections of newspapers throughout the U.S. and Canada. Thompson joined him on some of his early adventures in the U.S. and abroad, admiring Bone's ability to live the kind of life that office drones dream of. Put the formula down on paper, Thompson wrote him: "Shit, you'd sell 50,000 copies in NY alone." Fire Bone! is an unvarnished memoir of thrilling experiences with newspapers, magazines and book publishers, and the childhood and youthful love affairs that led up to them. Bone has been shot at and robbed. He's battled American and foreign bureaucrats. But as his grandmother predicted, everything he did "would always come out for the best." He's climbed to the top of a mast at sea and planted a revolutionary flag at a world's fair. And he's never been fired from a job. Fire Bone! explains all that, too.

Mavericks and Other Traditions in American Music
Author: Michael Broyles
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300127898
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
From colonial times to the present, American composers have lived on the fringes of society and defined themselves in large part as outsiders. In this stimulating book Michael Broyles considers the tradition of maverick composers and explores what these mavericks reveal about American attitudes toward the arts and about American society itself. Broyles starts by examining the careers of three notably unconventional composers: William Billings in the eighteenth century, Anthony Philip Heinrich in the nineteenth, and Charles Ives in the twentieth. All three had unusual lives, wrote music that many considered incomprehensible, and are now recognized as key figures in the development of American music. Broyles goes on to investigate the proliferation of eccentric individualism in all types of American music—classical, popular, and jazz—and how it has come to dominate the image of diverse creative artists from John Cage to Frank Zappa. The history of the maverick tradition, Broyles shows, has much to tell us about the role of music in American culture and the tension between individualism and community in the American consciousness.
