Her work has also been featured on television (SNL, VH1, ETV), in magazines (Real Simple, Nylon, The New York Times, and Paste), and at awards shows, such as the Tonys and Emmys. In Becoming a Hairstylist, Atlantic columnist and New York Times notable author Kate Bolick provides a compelling profile of a career in hair styling through the life of LeMoine, and offers us a glance at a day in the life at Parlor. The perfect resource for anyone interested in a career in cosmetology, Becoming a Hairstylist portrays how to excel as a stylist-at any age and for all types of customers.

Moving images of the British monarchy are almost as old as the moving image itself, dating back to an 1895 American drama, The Execution of Mary Queen of Scots. And from 1896, actual British monarchs appeared in the new 'animated photography', led by Queen Victoria. Half a century later the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II was a milestone in the adoption of television, watched by 20 million Britons and 100 million North Americans. At the century's end, Princess Diana's funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion worldwide. In the first book length examination of film and television representations of this enduring institution, distinguished scholars of media and political history analyze the screen representations of royalty from Henry VIII to 'William and Kate'. Seventeen essays by Ian Christie, Elisabeth Bronfen, Andrew Higson, Karen Lury, Glynn Davies, Jane Landman and other international commentators examine the portrayal of royalty in the 'actuality' picture, the early extended feature, amateur cinema, the movie melodrama, the Commonwealth documentary, New Queer Cinema, TV current affairs, the big screen ceremonial and the post-historical boxed set. A long overdue contribution to film and television studies, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of British media and political history. -- .

En av de mest innflytelsesrike og omtalte bøkene som er skrevet om samfunnet vårt de siste ti årene. Hvorfor stoler briter mindre på hverandre enn nordmenn gjør? Hvorfor er det flere tenåringsmødre i USA enn i Frankrike? Hva er det som gjør at svenskene er tynnere enn australierne? Svaret er det samme på alle spørsmålene: økonomisk ulikhet. Boka er fremdeles et brennaktuelt innlegg i debatten om hva som skaper et bedre samfunn. Norge kommer godt ut i sammenligningene, men den økonomiske ulikheten har økt de siste tiårene, spesielt under den sittende regjeringen. I et forord skrevet spesielt for den norske utgaven, hevder forfatter Richard Wilkinson at også Norge vil tjene på en enda likere fordeling. "Sterk dokumentasjon av at land med små forskjeller greier seg bedre." - Jonas Gahr Støre "...en av de ti viktigste bøkene som er utkommet i dette århundret." - Klassekampen "...så overbevisende at selv høyrekrefter som magasinet The Economist og statsminister David Cameron i Storbritannia har stilt seg bak konklusjonene." - Morgenbladet "...leverer fakta til en følelse mange har av at samfunnet forvitrer, at noe i utviklingen er grunnleggende galt." - Nationen "...en av vår tids viktigste bøker" - Audun Lysbakken "Det er all grunn til å glede seg over at Norge er blant de landene i verden med lavest ulikhet." - Dagens Næringsliv

Møteinnkallinger, referater, observasjoner, utredninger, vedtak, sms og chat er eksempler på dokumenter som skrives i barnevern, Nav og andre velferdstjenester. Dokumenter som er godt skrevet, bidrar til rettssikkerheten til den som mottar hjelp. Tekster som er respektfulle og enkle å forstå, sikrer bedre samarbeid. Denne boken gir kunnskap som sosialarbeidere kan bruke for å skrive godt. Forfatterne har intervjuet brukere og ansatte i barnevern, Nav og omsorgstjenester. Denne erfaringskunnskapen og dokumenter som disse har skrevet eller mottatt, er grunnlaget for boken. Dokumentene er sakprosa og har ulike funksjoner.

Kunnskap om hva skjønn er og hvordan det kan beskrives, er nødvendig for at det skal bli enklere å vise sammenhengen mellom beskrivelser, analyser, vurderinger og beslutninger. Det kan være en fordel å skrive mer sammen med den du skriver om. I tillegg til relevant kunnskap er det nødvendig å trene for å kunne skrive gode dokumenter.

Eilert Knudtson, som har farma på Alberta-prærien i meir enn tjue år, er komen til Norge for å treffe søskena sine igjen, og for å meistre sorga og saknet etter at kona Martha døde frå han, og dei åtte barna deira. Året er 1927, og det er trettifire år sidan han sist såg søskena sine. Seksten år gamle Lars Hoem, son av Anton Edvard, vil bli med onkelen tilbake til Canada. Han seier han må vekk fordi det er ein stein som skygger for sola der han er no. Lars Hoems liv i Canada blir ein mørk tråd som fører fram mot dei harde trettiåra. Eilert går inn i ein langvarig kamp for å overleva som farmar. Da han ikkje kan betale for tilleggsjord som han kjøpte tidleg på tjuetalet, tar styresmaktene jordseksjonane frå han og tvingar han til å bli leiglending. I 1930 gifter Eilert seg med enka Kate Ness. Barna til Eilert blir vaksne og forsvinn frå heimen. Den aldrande mannen kjempar mot tørke, haglstormar, grashopper og fallande prisar - for å vinne tilbake det han har tapt. «Liv andre har levd» er ein sanseleg familiekrønike med uforgløymelege hovudpersonar. Edvard Hoems nye roman stiller det fundamentale spørsmålet: Kor mykje bestemmer eit menneske si livsreise med eigen innsats, og kor mykje blir avgjort av krefter som vi ikkje kan gjera noko med?

The challenges of teaching a successful introductory sociology course today demand materials from a publisher very different from the norm. Texts that are organized the way the discipline structures itself intellectually no longer connect with the majority of student learners. This is not an issue of pandering to students or otherwise seeking the lowest common denominator. On the contrary, it is a question of again making the practice of sociological thinking meaningful, rigorous, and relevant to today's world of undergraduates.This comparatively concise, highly visual, and affordable book offers a refreshingly new way forward to reach students, using one of the most powerful tools in a sociologist's teaching arsenal-the familiar stuff in students' everyday lives throughout the world: the jeans they wear to class, the coffee they drink each morning, or the phones their professors tell them to put away during lectures.A focus on consumer culture, seeing the strange in the familiar, is not only interesting for students; it is also (the authors suggest) pedagogically superior to more traditional approaches. By engaging students through their stuff, this book moves beyond teaching about sociology to helping instructors teach the practice of sociological thinking. It moves beyond describing what sociology is, so that students can practice what sociological thinking can do. This pedagogy also posits a relationship between teacher and learner that is bi-directional. Many students feel a sense of authority in various areas of consumer culture, and they often enjoy sharing their knowledge with fellow students and with their instructor. Opening up the sociology classroom to discussion of these topics validates students' expertise on their own life-worlds. Teachers, in turn, gain insight from the goods, services, and cultural expectations that shape students' lives.While innovative, the book has been carefully crafted to make it as useful and flexible as possible for instructors aiming to build core sociological foundations in a single semester. A map on pages ii-iii identifies core sociological concepts covered so that a traditional syllabus as well as individual lectures can easily be maintained. Theory, method, and active learning exercises in every chapter constantly encourage the sociological imagination as well as the "doing" of sociology.

A prelude to fame, Just Kids recounts the friendship of two young artists--Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe - whose passion fueled their lifelong pursuit of art. In 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, Scribner's Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol's Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near.
