Kari Kuuva (1946-2018) oli 1960-luvun nuorison suosikkilaulaja ja menestynyt lauluntekijä, jonka elämästä ei puuttunut dramatiikkaa. Vitsillä varttitunnissa kirjoitettu Tango pelargonia nosti 18-vuotiaan Elvis-fanin listojen kärkeen. Tanssilavoilla Kuuvalle selvisi, ettei tango ollut Suomessa leikin asia. Värikkäästi eläneen lauluntekijän kynästä syntyi hittejä sekä itselle että muille. Daa-da daa-da, Pienen pojan haaveet ja monet muut Kuuvan kirjoittamat ikivihreät soivat edelleen. Lauluntekijää muistelevat kirjassa kymmenet ystävät ja musiikkialan yhteistyökumppanit. Kuuvan omat ajatukset urastaan ja elämästään kulkevat mukana vanhojen haastattelujen avulla.
A history of modern Germany told not through the lives of its leaders, but its lawbreakers. As Nelson Mandela said, “a nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” Shadowland tells the sometimes inspiring, often painful stories of Germany’s prisoners, and thereby shines new light on Germany itself. The story begins at the end of the Second World War, in a defeated country on the edge of collapse, in which orphaned and lost children are forced into homelessness, scavenging and stealing to stay alive, often laying the foundations of a so-called criminal career. While East Germany developed detention facilities for its secret police, West Germany passed prison reform laws, which erected, in the words of a prisoner, “little asbestos walls in Hell.” Shadowland is Germany as seen through the lives, experiences, triumphs, and tragedies of its lowest citizens.
This progressive reference redefines qualitative research as a crucial component of evidence-based practice and assesses its current and future impact on healthcare. Its introductory section explains the value of sociocultural context in case conceptualization, and ways this evidence can be integrated with quantitative findings to inform and transform practice. The bulk of the book's chapters review qualitative research in diverse areas, including pain, trauma, heart disease, COPD, and disabling conditions, and examine ways of effectively evaluating and applying qualitative data. This seismic shift in perception moves the healing professions away from traditional one-size-fits-all thinking a...
The present collection of articles, presented at the 8th IADA Conference in Göteborg, focuses on understanding and misunderstanding as dialogic phenomena. The notion of a dialogic grammar and dialogic principles as a framework for understanding human communication and cognition is explored in several contributions. Misunderstanding in dialogue is dealt with in institutional and non-institutional settings, in fiction and film dialogue, from several different theoretical perspectives.
