2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMichael Snodgrass explores how workers and industrialists perceived, responded to and helped determine the outcome of Mexico`s revolution over a sixty-year period. His study begins with Monterrey`s emergence as one of Latin-America`s preeminent industrial cities and home to Mexico`s most powerful business group. Snodgrass explores the roots of two distinct and enduring systems of industrial relations that were historical outcomes of the revolution: company paternalism and militant unionism.

Arthur Benavie
Deficit Hysteria

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The political consensus in the United States today is that the nation must avoid deficit spending. But as virtuous and unassailable as that goal sounds, it has fallacies and dangers. In a lucid, nontechnical writing style, Benavie shows that deficits canbe either good or bad and explains how to tell the difference. Deficits, or government borrowing, can be beneficial to the nation`s economic health, he shows, in three main ways. When the economy slumps, a deficit is automatically created and helps to reduce the severity of the recession. When the economy is seriously depressed, boosting the deficit may be the only cure, and deficits supporting such investments as basic research, cleaning up toxic waste, and rebuilding inner cities are crucial to the economic health of future generations. Preventing such borrowing would be comparable to preventing one`s family from borrowing money to buy a house or to put a child through college. [detailed...]

Defining Cult Movies : The Cultural Politics of Oppositional Tastes (Inside Popular Film)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This collection concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. The definition of the cult movie relies on a sense of its distinction from the `mainstream` or `ordinary.` This also raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to processes of institutionalization and classification. In other words, cult movie fandom has often presented itself as being in opposition to the academy, commercial film industries and the media more generally, but has been far more dependent on these forms than it has usually been willing to admit. The international roster of essayists range over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson`s New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci-fi flicks.

Defining Luxury: The Qualities of Life at Home

2008 y.
Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: Jeffrey Bilhuber returns with a second book after Design Basics, his successful debut volume. In a lavish new format, the media-savvy designer for tastemakers and celebrities presents his most recent projects from coast to coast. Bilhuber views luxury as essential to every life well-lived, a way of appreciating and sharing our joy in existence, not the exclusive purview of the few. The designer encourages the reader to seek, aspire, and revel in luxury at home, however simple or adorned: from the embrace of the perfectly tufted reading chair to an heirloom vase cradling freshly cut garden roses to a dazzling chandelier that makes light dance. In seven chapters filled with charming anecdotes and lovely observations, the designer - whom Hamish Bowles has likened to a twenty-first century Billy Baldwin - explores the idea of luxury as life`s abundance reflected in a home`s varied elements: Discovery, Passion, History, Ornament, Grace, Comfort, and Delight. Each project discussed evokes… [detailed...]
