Stop Rewind Fast Forward 1992

Seattle vs. LA, grunge against hair rock. Guns N’ Roses and Soundgarden. 1992 was a huge year for music - but it didn't happen quite as you were told. "Stop Rewind Fast Forward" presents itself as but one history of popular music. In this case, the year 1992 is examined in detail, with a primary focus on the acts Guns N' Roses and Soundgarden, and how they relate to the overall climate of the era. As the timeline advances and their paths cross, leading to a Dayton, Ohio concert featuring both, their respective bodies of work are considered in detail, as the author puts his own unique spin on what these bands were attempting and whether or not they achieved it.

When a dormant artists' retreat reopens, a group of creatively inclined strangers cannot resist its charms. None of them find it odd that the locals steer clear of the place - at least not initially. Long before the property's dark past reveals itself to them, however, they begin to realize this retreat offers more than they signed up for. That they may not escape this place any more than they can themselves, and only the strongest can survive this twisted terrain.

Life in a locally owned, health-conscious grocery store chain...it might be organic, but it sure isn't natural! Any lowly peon who has ever worked retail or for that matter an office job will find much to laugh about and relate to in this highly comical epic, of a company whose chaos hits all too close to home. From blowhard bosses who insist "somebody" needs to do something whenever any problems arise, to the crybaby technophobes running riot all over the enterprise, to the widely held misperception that Good With Computers is an actual department, it's all right here, in this fresh, modern workplace tale so realistic you might swear that you have lived it. But of course, nothing this preposterous could happen for real, right?

In a unique comparative ethnography of two family therapy programs, Gubrium deftly shows how differing organizational perceptions make visible the social construction of domestic disorder. Contrasting images of home life--one viewing domestic order as a system of authority, the other as a configuration of emotional bonds--serve to highlight different senses of the family as being out of control and to recommend alternate forms of intervention. The idea that the reality of home life and domestic troubles are embedded in organizational activities and institutional images is an important commentary on the understanding of domestic life and the postmodern family. Out of Control provides stimulating reading for professionals and students in clinical psychology, family therapy, family studies, sociology, and qualitative methods.
