From the author of Magpie Murders and Moriarty. Skeleton Key by David Shenk,Steve Silberman SummaryNOW AN EBOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME For fifty years and more than two thousand shows, the Grateful Dead have been earning the 'deadication' of more than a million fans.
Along the way, Deadheads have built an original and authentic American subculture, with vivid jargon and rich love, and its own legends, myths, and spirituality. Skeleton Key: A Dictionary for Deadheads is the first map of what Jerry Garcia calls 'the Grateful Dead outback,' as seen through the eyes of the faithful, friends, and family, including Bill Walton, Elvis Costello, Tipper Gore, Al Franken, Bob Bralove, Dick Latvala, Blair Jackson, David Gans, Bruce Hornsby, Rob Wasserman, and Robert Hunter. Skeleton Key puts you on the Merry Pranksters' bus behind the real Cowboy Neal, uncovers the origins of Cherry Garcia, follows the dancing bear on its trip from psychedelic artifact to trademarked icon, and unlocks the Dead's own tape vault.
Informative reading for the new fan or the most grizzled 'tourhead,' Skeleton Key shines throughout with Deadheads' own stories, wit, insiders' knowledge, sincere appreciation of the music of the 'band beyond description,' and the diverse and soulful culture it inspires. Skeleton Keys by Brian Switek SummaryOur bones have many stories to tell, if you know how to listen. Bone is a marvel, an adaptable and resilient building material developed over 500 million years of evolutionary history. It gives our bodies their shapes and the ability to move. It grows and changes with us, an undeniable document of who we are and how we lived. Arguably, no other part of the human anatomy has such rich scientific and cultural significance, both brimming with life and a potent symbol of death.
Brian Switek is a charming and enthusiastic osteological raconteur. In this natural and cultural history of bone, he explains where our skeletons came from, what they do inside us, and what others can learn about us when these wondrous assemblies of mineral and protein are all we've left behind. Bone is as embedded in our culture as it is in our bodies. Our species has made instruments and jewelry from bone, treated the dead like collectors' items, put our faith in skull bumps as guides to human behavior, and arranged skeletons into macabre tributes to the afterlife. Switek makes a compelling case for getting better acquainted with our skeletons, in all their surprising roles. Bridging the worlds of paleontology, anthropology, medicine, and forensics, Skeleton Keys illuminates the complex life of bones inside our bodies and out.

A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake by Joseph Campbell,Henry Morton Robinson,Edmund L.
Epstein SummarySince its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of Finnegans Wake - James Joyce's masterwork, which consumed a third of his life - have given up after a few pages, dismissing it as a 'perverse triumph of the unintelligible.' In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first 'key' or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of Finnegans Wake. The authors break down Joyce's 'unintelligible' book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary.
They outline the book's basic action, and then simplify? Its complex web of images and allusions.
A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake is the latest addition to the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series. Into Elurien by Kate Sparkes,Skeleton Key SummarySkeleton Key Book Series One Skeleton Key.
