Sleep Talkin' Man
Author: Karen Slavick-LennardPublisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 080219463X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Outrageous nighttime ramblings from a sleep talker’s subconscious, based on “one of the funniest blogs out there . . . A bonafide viral sensation” (Mashable). Adam Lennard had never been a sleep-talker until, one night while fast asleep, he yelled, “Enough with the cheese! Enough!” From that night, Adam’s exclamations grew exponentially in topic, crudeness, and downright hilarity, and his wife, Karen Slavick-Lennard, had the good sense to write it all down. Sleep Talkin’ Man is the story of Adam, a mild-mannered Englishman with a wild nocturnal life, possibly an entire separate personality, known only as Sleep Talkin’ Man. Prone to hilariously hostile outbursts and “relentless ego-wanking,” as his American wife Karen terms it, and with notable fixations on both real and invented wildlife, scatology, his own greatness, and the evils of lentils and vegetarianism, Sleep Talkin’ Man has for the last few years had his questionable wisdom captured on audio and shared with the world in the viral blog Sleep Talkin’ Man. Sleep Talkin’ Man comprises the best quotes and exchanges from the blog, never-before-seen material from Karen’s trove of audio files, and essays telling the story of their relationship, the impact of Sleep Talkin’ Man’s manifestation on their lives, and how Sleep Talkin’ Man resembles and, more importantly, differs from Adam’s waking personality. “Talking in your sleep was never so funny . . . [Adam Lennard’s] nighttime alter-ego is rude and crude and certainly sounds insane.” —Nick Watt, ABC News

The Origins of Cool in Postwar America
Author: Joel DinersteinPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022659906X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 550
Book Description
Cool. It was a new word and a new way to be, and in a single generation, it became the supreme compliment of American culture. The Origins of Cool in Postwar America uncovers the hidden history of this concept and its new set of codes that came to define a global attitude and style. As Joel Dinerstein reveals in this dynamic book, cool began as a stylish defiance of racism, a challenge to suppressed sexuality, a philosophy of individual rebellion, and a youthful search for social change. Through eye-opening portraits of iconic figures, Dinerstein illuminates the cultural connections and artistic innovations among Lester Young, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Marlon Brando, and James Dean, among others. We eavesdrop on conversations among Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Miles Davis, and on a forgotten debate between Lorraine Hansberry and Norman Mailer over the "white Negro" and black cool. We come to understand how the cool worlds of Beat writers and Method actors emerged from the intersections of film noir, jazz, and existentialism. Out of this mix, Dinerstein sketches nuanced definitions of cool that unite concepts from African-American and Euro-American culture: the stylish stoicism of the ethical rebel loner; the relaxed intensity of the improvising jazz musician; the effortless, physical grace of the Method actor. To be cool is not to be hip and to be hot is definitely not to be cool. This is the first work to trace the history of cool during the Cold War by exploring the intersections of film noir, jazz, existential literature, Method acting, blues, and rock and roll. Dinerstein reveals that they came together to create something completely new—and that something is cool.

Book Description
Meet the newest book from Nicole Johnson, President and Lead Sleep Consultant at The Baby Sleep Site(r)! In a sea of baby sleep books, Baby S.T.E.P.S. to Better Sleep stands apart as the first resource to put parents in the driver's seat. Other sleep books adopt a "my way or the highway" approach to sleep coaching, but not Baby S.T.E.P.S. to Better Sleep; this resource empowers parents with the tools and knowledge they need to gently coach their children to better nights and rested naps, in a way that fits their goals and parenting styles. The book outlines a step-by-step approach to help parents create their own sleep coaching plans; it also includes a number of helpful reference charts, including bedtimes and nap times, overall sleep needs by age, and sample daily sleep and feeding schedules. And it's all penned by Nicole Johnson herself, an expert sleep consultant whose down-to-earth and caring tone will help exhausted parents everywhere feel like they have an ally and a friend to help them through their sleep struggles. "I am the mother of a one-year-old who has struggled with sleep. I also happen to be a pediatrician, and I recommend Nicole to all of my families who are struggling with sleep!" - Dr. Carolyn Nichols, Pediatrician, Long Beach, CA "The way Nicole explains sleep coaching and her unique understanding and compassion made all the difference. I felt like I had finally found someone who actually understood what I was going through! It was like she wrote the book just for me. When I read it, I actually cried from relief!" - Charlotte, Johannesburg, South Africa "When I first found Nicole's book, my six-month-old was waking up every two hours all night. Two nights after putting Nicole's program to work, my daughter SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT! Nicole's book is so helpful and practical, and it works!" - Kate, Victoria, British Columbia Canada "Nicole's book has been unbelievably helpful. I have twin girls, and I've been able to use this book as a resource as my girls have grown and changed. Today, my girls are great sleepers, which means that we are all happy and well rested!" - Jen, New York, NY
