Sir Roger Knight seems to be a classic British success story - he has a rock-solid business, a comfortable suburban home, an adoring wife and daughter, and a knighthood, to boot. But beneath the outward trappings of respectability and conformity lies a very different tale - whose roots lie in the murky wheelings and dealings in the dying days of the Third Reich.

Jonathan Harvey
Author: Arnold Whittall
Publisher: Penguin Mass Market
ISBN: 9780571195817
Category : Composers
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
The second in a series of handbooks on composers of today, aiming to introduce their work to a wide audience and to describe their creative development. Each volume includes a substantial interview with the composer and a comprehensive work list. Jonathan Harvey has been a leading and distinctive presence in British music since the 1960s. After studies with Erwin Stein and Hans Keller, Harvey, in his earliest works, explored the living English tradition extending from Britten to Maxwell Davies. At the same time, however, he was no less open to developments on the wider international scene, and his music has achieved as much success in continental Europe and America as it has in Britain. It is in his studio work, especially at IRCAM but at other institutions as well, that he has explored with particular persuasiveness the conjunction between technology and spirituality that gives his work its most individual quality.

A Sociological Approach to Acquired Brain Injury and Identity
Author: Jonathan Harvey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780367430962
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Inspired by the author's personal experience of sustaining acquired brain injury (ABI), this path-breaking book explores the (re)construction of identity after ABI. It offers a way of understanding ABI through a social scientific lens, promoting an understanding that is generated through close engagement with the lives and experiences of ABI survivors. The author follows the everyday experiences of six male survivors and critically investigates their identity (re)construction after their ABI. As well as demonstrating identity (re)construction after ABI, the experiences of the participants allow the reader to investigate neurological rehabilitation from their perspective. This book suggests that rehabilitation after ABI is often a continual process that extends beyond the formal, medically prescribed period. It also shows that identity after ABI is often (re)constructed in an unpredictable way; a way that emphasises the importance of reciprocal support and the uncertainty of future life. A Sociological Approach to Acquired Brain Injury and Identity is essential reading for academics and students from a range of social scientific disciplines with an interest in biographical or ethnographic research methods. This book offers a social scientific view of rehabilitation and as such is also essential reading for academics, students and professionals with an interest in health and illness, particularly neurological rehabilitation and brain injury rehabilitation.
