    We Take Care of Our Own

    Faith, Class, and Politics in the Art of Bruce Springsteen

    "Insightful. . . . Going beyond the stereotype of Springsteen as chronicler of the white everyman, Sawyers examines his focus on social issues like AIDS and the Iraq War and provides an intriguing analysis of how his Catholic roots intersect with his political consciousness. . . . It's a dynamic portrait of the complicated political and social influences of a rock legend." (Publishers Weekly) "Springsteen authority Sawyers explores how Catholicism and an evolving political philosophy informed the art of this central figure in American popular culture. . . . Sawyers defines Springsteen's body of work as one that celebrates humanity." (Booklist) “Sawyers covers a remarkable amount of ground in a compact space, which will make for a resonant book and a piece of cultural criticism that looks at Springsteen’s work through a series of lenses, some of them unexpected, to help us understand the American experience in a new light.” - Jim Cullen (author of Born in the U.S.A. Bruce Springsteen in American Life, 3rd edition, Revised and Expanded) "We Take Care of Our Own is a great read, an important addition to the Springsteen canon, and a serious look at the historical context of Springsteen's work in both American literature and visual art." - Mary Gauthier (author of Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting) “Sawyers maps some of the most important issues at stake in Bruce Springsteen’s music, especially his twenty-first-century work. By drawing on recent interviews and writing, she brings a fresh perspective to his story.”   - Lauren Onkey (professor of music, George Washington University) "Wonderfully insightful and important exploration of one of our country's most essential artists." - Andre Dubus III

  9. Constructivity and Computability in Historical and Philosophical Perspective

    Constructivity and Computability in Historical and Philosophical Perspective

    Ranging from Alan Turing¿s seminal 1936 paper to the latest work on Kolmogorov complexity and linear logic, this comprehensive new work clarifies the relationship between computability on the one hand and constructivity on the other. The authors argue that even though constructivists have largely shed Brouwer¿s solipsistic attitude to logic, there remain points of disagreement to this day.Focusing on the growing pains computability experienced as it was forced to address the demands of rapidly expanding applications, the content maps the developments following Turing¿s ground-breaking linkage of computation and the machine, the resulting birth of complexity theory, the innovations of Kolmogorov complexity and resolving the dissonances between proof theoretical semantics and canonical proof feasibility. Finally, it explores one of the most fundamental questions concerning the interface between constructivity and computability: whether the theory of recursive functions is needed for a rigorous development of constructive mathematics.This volume contributes to the unity of science by overcoming disunities rather than offering an overarching framework. It posits that computability¿s adoption of a classical, ontological point of view kept these imperatives separated. In studying the relationship between the two, it is a vital step forward in overcoming the disagreements and misunderstandings which stand in the way of a unifying view of logic.
