Zeitgeist
It’s 1999, and in the Turkish half of Cyprus, the ever-enterprising Leggy Starlitz has alighted — pausing on his mission to storm the Third World with the G-7 girls, the cheapest, phoniest all-girl rock group ever to wear Wonderbras and spandex. His market is staring him in the face: millions of teenagers trapped in a world of mullahs and mosques, all ready to blow their pocket change on G-7’s massive merchandising campaign — and to wildly anticipate music the band will never release. Leggy’s brilliant plan means doing business with some of the world’s most dangerous people. Among these thieves, schemers, and killers, he must act quickly and decisively. Y2K is just around the corner — and the only rule to live by is that the whole scheme stops before the year 2000. But Leggy’s G-7 Zeitgeist is in serious jeopardy, for in Istanbul his former partners are getting restless — and the G-7 girls are beginning to die.....

Creativity in Science: Chance, Logic, Genius, and Zeitgeist
Where do major scientific breakthroughs come from? Do they arise from the logic of the scientific method, or do they result from flashes of genius? Are they the products of some mysterious zeitgeist, or spirit of the times, or do they emerge from chance or serendipity? Dean Simonton provides an answer, not by choosing one explanation and ignoring the others, but rather by unifying all four perspectives into a single theory in which chance plays the primary role, but with the significant involvement of logic, genius and zeitgeist..

Inside a Non-Believer's Mind: My Journey from Christianity to Freethinking
This is not a scientific text of any kind. It is mainly a collection of ideas I have compiled over the years. People say that discussing certain subjects never leads to a good conclusion; or that there is a way to thrash them out without coming to an agreement. I think that every subject should be open to debate and that every discussion, if conducted in a bona fide manner, should be enriching and uplifting. Everyone participating in a debate should, after the experience, feel closer to the truth. After all, our differences only reflect our humanity-that we all come from different parts of the world, different backgrounds, and have different belief systems. I only hope that we can recognize that we are more alike than we are different. So, if you are open to debate and do not mind developing an inquisitive mind about any subject, I invite you to keep reading. You might enjoy this book thoroughly. At the end, it is always you who will make up your own mind..

Fashion Zeitgeist: Trends and Cycles in the Fashion System
Although it is appealing to think that fashion turns away from conventions, is this really the case? Or are "pioneering" designs simply part of a cyclical revival of forgotten fashions? Looking at some of the most influential designers of the twentieth century--from Yamamoto to Gaultier to Lagerfeld--Vinken considers the politics and philosophies that have been the driving force directing their sense of style. Vinken shows how fashion trends are informed by the past. Chanel, under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, is viewed as the only fashion house to have remained fresh after one hundred years, yet is this success essentially proof of the self-referential qualities fashion has adopted? What inspired the fetish for labels at the end of the twentieth century? Answering these questions and many more, this thought-provoking book shows how beauty, gender, sexuality, commerce, and dandyism have persisted in defining the fashion system. .
