Memory Babe
When MEMORY BABE first appeared from Grove Press in 1983, LIBRARY JOURNAL wrote: "To call this book the definitive Kerouac biography is an understatement ... [it is] all-inclusive and richly detailed. The reader's immersion in Kerouac's thoughts, moves, and mess-ups is so total that one cannot but feel a great empathy for him ...." USA TODAY wrote: "MEMORY BABE is the most relentlessly and thoroughly researched of the Kerouac biographies ... There is a day-to-day tracing of Kerouac's thoughts and movements astonishing in its exactitude." In the new, revised and updated version, Gerald Nicosia builds on his landmark text, using a wide range of sources that have only become available in the pa...

Kerouac
A history of Jack Kerouac's growing recognition and literary appreciation, as well as a narrative of the writer's stormy legacy, over the past 25 years (1993-2018). It contains detailed descriptions of the Kerouac Estate lawsuit, the death of Kerouac's daughter Jan, and the massive sell-off of material from Kerouac's archive.
One and Only
Beloved by both Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, Lu Anne Henderson’s story has never been told. Lu Anne was a beautiful 15-year-old girl in Denver in 1945 when she met Neal, a fast-talking hurricane of male sexuality and vast promises. The two married, and soon they were hanging out with a group of would-be writers, including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. But Neal and Jack initially didn’t like each other very much. Lu Anne taught them how to love each other — in effect, making the Beat Generation possible, as well as giving Kerouac material for one of the seminal novels of the 20th century, On the Road. One and Only traces the immense struggles of Lu Anne’s own life, which ranged from the split-up of her family to the ravages of abusive men, lingering illness, and the grief of losing the two most important men in her life. Lu Anne Henderson did not live to see the filming of On the Road by Walter Salles, but One and Only tells how Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, through her work with both Nicosia and Anne Marie Santos (Lu Anne's daughter), came to find the key to playing Lu Anne in the film.

Attitudes, Beliefs, Motivation and Identity in Mathematics Education
This book records the state of the art in research on mathematics-related affect. It discusses the concepts and theories of mathematics-related affect along the lines of three dimensions. The first dimension identifies three broad categories of affect: motivation, emotions, and beliefs. The book contains one chapter on motivation, including discussions on how emotions and beliefs relate to motivation. There are two chapters that focus on beliefs and a chapter on attitude which cross-cuts through all these categories. The second dimension covers a rapidly fluctuating state to a more stable trait. All chapters in the book focus on trait-type affect and the chapter on motivation discusses both these dimensions. The third dimension regards the three main levels of theorizing: physiological (embodied), psychological (individual) and social. All chapters reflect that mathematics-related affect has mainly been studied using psychological theories.
Desolate Angel
"A blockbuster of a biography . . . absolutely magnificent."--San Francisco Chronicle Jack Kerouac--"King of the Beats," unwitting catalyst for the '60s counterculture, groundbreaking author--was a complex and compelling man: a star athlete with a literary bent; a spontaneous writer vilified by the New Critics but adored by a large, youthful readership; a devout Catholic but aspiring Buddhist; a lover of freedom plagued by crippling alcoholism. Desolate Angel follows Kerouac from his childhood in the mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, to his early years at Columbia where he met Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Neal Cassady, beginning a four-way friendship that would become a socioi...
