Never before published in Kerouac's lifetime, Jack Kerouac's Wake
Up is a clear and powerful study of the life and works of Siddartha
Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, from the author of On the Road.
This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by
Robert Thurman. Wake Up recounts the story of Prince Siddhartha's
royal upbringing and his father's wish to protect him from all
human suffering, despite a prediction that he would become a great
holy man in later life. Departing from his father's palace,
Siddhartha adopts a homeless life, struggles with his meditations,
and eventually finds Enlightenment. Written at the end of Kerouac's
career, when he became increasingly interested in Buddhist
teachings, and collected for the first time in one book, this fresh
and accessible biography is both an important addition to Kerouac's
work and a valuable introduction to the world of Buddhism itself.
Jack Kerouac (1922-69) was an American novelist, poet, artist and
part of the Beat Generation. His first published novel, The Town
and the City, appeared in 1950, but it was On the Road, published
in 1957, that made Kerouac famous. Publication of his many other
books followed, among them The Subterraneans, Big Sur, and The
Dharma Bums. Kerouac died in Florida at the age of forty-seven. If
you enjoyed Wake Up, you might like Kerouac's The Dharma Bums, also
available in Penguin Modern Classics. '[Kerouac] defines the
attitudes of an entire generation' Guardian
Today's organizational environment is characterized by high levels
of cross-cultural, cross-national, and cross-religious
communication, conflict, collaboration, and commerce. This
environment produces myriad encounters between individuals who
embrace different ideologies, religions and spiritual practices. As
such, unanswered (and even unasked) questions about management,
spirituality, and religion abound. This book, seeks to advance our
understanding by asking the big questions. Blessed are Those Who
Ask the Questions: What Should We be Asking About Management,
Spirituality, and Religion in Organizations? is intended to be
provocative in nature. Its chapters address novel ways that
leadership, organizations, and organizational stakeholders mutually
impact each other by their similarities and differences in
religious, spiritual, and ideological traditions, cultures, and
practices. Interdisciplinary in nature and firmly grounded in
scholarly literature, this book identifies and maps out bold new
trajectories for advancing the study of management spirituality,
and religion (including but going far beyond Western, Christian
conceptualizations of religion). Sometimes universal, sometimes
quite specific, this volume identifies unexplored, underexplored,
or unresolved issues in the field and proposes new streams of
research. Diverse conceptual, empirical, theoretical, and critical
treatments that honor a variety of inquiry styles and research
methods push the boundaries of MSR research.
This volume attempts to put the clergy in the context of the issues
and debates of the nineteenth century, treating the social history
of the clergy, the repeated attempts to reform it, and the impact
of these reforms on the structure and outlook of rank-and file
parish clergy. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
