Douglas Brode
From Walt to Woodstock : How Disney Created the Counterculture

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWith his thumbprint on the most ubiquitous films of childhood, Walt Disney is widely considered to be the most conventional of all major American moviemakers. The adjective `Disneyfied` has become shorthand for a creative work that has abandoned any controversial or substantial content to find commercial success. But does Disney deserve that reputation? Douglas Brode overturns the idea of Disney as a middlebrow filmmaker by detailing how Disney movies played a key role in transforming children of the Eisenhower era into the radical youth of the Age of Aquarius. Using close readings of Disney projects, Brode shows that Disney`s films were frequently ahead of their time thematically. Long before the cultural tumult of the sixties, Disney films preached pacifism, introduced a generation to the notion of feminism, offered the screen`s first drug-trip imagery, encouraged young people to become runaways, insisted on the need for integration, advanced the notion of a sexual… [detailed...]

Kaj Gronbaek, Randall H. Trigg
From Web to Workplace: Designing Open Hypermedia Systems (Digital Communication)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this book Kaj Grnbk and Randall H. Trigg present a set of principles for the design of open hypermedia systems and provide concrete implications of these principles for issues ranging from data structures to architectures and system integration, and for settings as diverse as the World Wide Web and the workplace. The principles, which cover both hypermedia system processing and data structures, reflect results from decades of hypermedia research, including the popular Dexter hypertext reference model and the authors own extended object-oriented version of the Dexter model. One important principle is the notion of links as first-class objects outside the data. Emerging systems such as HyperWave, Microcosm, and Devise Hypermedia apply thisprinciple to extend the capabilities of the Web. The authors also discuss the management of incomplete and dangling links, time-based media including video and sound, support for collaboration and shared hypermedia structures,… [detailed...]

From White Australia to Woomera: The Story of Australian Immigration

2003 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: There has never been a greater need for a sober, historically informed yet critical account of immigration policy in Australia. In this book, James Jupp, Australia`s leading specialist on migration, surveys the changes in policy over the last thirty years since the seismic shift away from the White Australia Policy. Along the way he outlines the history of Australian immigration, compares the achievements of the Fraser, Hawke and Keating governments, and considers the establishment of the `institutions` of multiculturalism and ethnicity. Jupp looks critically at the ways economic rationalism, the rise of Pauline Hanson and One Nation, and the environmental debate have impacted upon migration choices. The vexed issue of refugees and asylum seekers is also covered in great depth. Формат издания: 13,5 см х 21,5 см. [detailed...]

From William Morris: Building Conservation and the Arts and Crafts Cult of Authenticity, 1877-1939

2005 y.
Publisher: Paul Mellon Center BA
Description: This book takes a fresh and wide-ranging look at the origins of the architectural conservation movement in the United Kingdom. Distinguished contributors consider how the modern concept of heritage emerged in the nineteenth century, how politics as well as art and design played a role in the creation of a historic buildings culture, and how the writings and activities of designer William Morris and architect Philip Webb shaped thinking about conservation. Chapters of the book address such diverse topics as the place of historic buildings in Morris`s thinking, the relation of the Arts and Crafts Movement to Victorian ideas of heritage, the distortion of Morrisian ideals in early twentieth-century New England, and the emergence of an urban vs. rural conservation culture. Drawing on extensive historical research, the book casts new light not only on the history of the Conservation Movement but also on its role today. Формат издания: 18,5 см х 26 см. [detailed...]

From Wonderland with Love: Danish Comics in the Third Millennium

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Edgy comics from the country of Lars von Trier and The Raveonettes. In all the excitement over manga from Japan and bandes dessinees from France, it’s easy to forget that other countries have a thriving comics culture all their own. This eye-popping anthology, assembled by Danish publisher/editor/ translator Steffen P. Maarup, introduces adventurous readers to 19 exciting talents, most of whom are taking their first bow on the English-speaking stage. One centerpiece of the book is Nikoline Werdelin’s stunning “Because I Love You So Much,” a Doonesbury-style slice-of-life daily strip about a suburban Danish couple who discover their daughter is being molested—is it happening at her daycare center, or, horrifyingly, closer to home? Other major revelations include Julie Nord’s elegantly drawn “From Wonderland With Love” (which gives the collection its title), a modernistic riff on Alice in Wonderland, and Ib Kjeldsmark’s “Sloth,” a riotously punk-inflected day-glo duo-toned road… [detailed...]

From Work-Family Balance to Work-Family Interaction: Changing the Metaphor

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There are many lessons to be learned about work-family interaction. It is clear that some people have learned how to combine work and family in ways that are mutually supporting--at least much of the time--and some employers have created work environments and policies that make positive interdependence of these two spheres more likely to occur. This book discusses measures of work-family, conflict, policies designed to reduce conflict, comparisons with other industrialized nations, and reasons why family-friendly work-policies have not been adopted with enthusiasm. The purpose is to consider a broad range of topics that pertain to work and family with the goal of helping employers and working families understand the work-life options that are available so they can make choices that offer returns-on-investments to employers, families, and society at large that are consistent with personal and societal values. This book brings together a superb panel of experts from different… [detailed...]

From the Ashes of the Old: American Labor and America`s Future

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The future of American labor is deeply connected to America`s future. In the last quarter century, most American workers -- blue collar, white collar, and professional -- have taken an enormous hit, while only 20 percent of the population has prospered. Corporate downsizing, technological change, mergers, and acquisitions have cut the workforce by half in some industries, in others, the best-paid employees have lost their jobs and have been replaced by part-time, temporary workers who often lack benefits. Meanwhile, government protections are slowly fading from the lives of ordinary Americans as health benefits, pensions, and safety and health standards deteriorate. Stanley Aronowitz, a teacher, writer, and former trade union organizer, examines the decline of the labor movement in the past twenty-five years and its recent reemergence as a major force in the country`s economic and political life. Republicans suddenly find themselves under attack from a forgotten foe. Democrats are… [detailed...]

From the Boardroom to the War Room : America`s Corporate Liberals and FDR`s Preparedness Program

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBetween World War I and World War II, America`s corporate liberals experienced a profound ideological change. In the 1920s, corporate liberals embraced company-specific solutions to economic problems. They believed that if every company, in every industry, employed advanced managerial techniques -- such as granting workers non-wage benefits to increase their job satisfaction -- employment, production, and profits could be stabilized and prosperity sustained indefinitely. The Great Depression, of course, made a mockery of this idyllic vision. Corporate liberals admitted that private efforts failed to maintain the nation`s economic health, ultimately endorsing large-scale government intervention to bail out the stricken economy. By 1935, the corporate liberal conversion from privatism to business-government partnership was well under way. Corporate liberals served President Franklin Roosevelt throughout the Depression and preparedness periods. Marion Folsom of Eastman… [detailed...]

Description: Author Mitch Anthony has been recognized as the voice of conscience for the financial services industry. For more than a decade, he has shown advisors how building authentic, genuine relationships can serve clients` best interests and build heathly—and financially successful—practices at the same time. In From the Boiler Room to the Living Room, Mitch examines where the financial services industry has failed in the past, and what it needs to do to restore trust at both the individual and industry levels. He teaches readers how to better understand the emotional significance of the money that clients entrust to their advisors and the struggles they face as they attempt to get `more life for their money.` The book also discusses why venture philosophy, funding single moments, and rethinking one`s purpose in life is more important to clients than net worth or asset allocation. Finally, it discusses how to develop dialogues that forge meaningful, long-term client connections—in… [detailed...]

Description: Part Huckleberry Finn, part Pied Piper, this genuine, modern-day folk hero began his passionate journey while still in high school, when he first saw the trash that littered the bottom of his beloved river. Thus began his quest, from the bottom up, to seek help to clean up the Mississippi river. Ten years later, Chad Pregracke’s one-man project has grown into a nationwide operation with more than 60 sponsors. Chad’s story has been told on NBC Nightly News, on the Today Show, on CNN (CNN’s Tim Wall writes the introduction to the book), in 336 newspapers and 52 magazines. His dedication inspires everyone in his path and his personal triumph as an advocate for America’s rivers is strong motivation for donors and doers alike. This moving, first-person chronicle of Chad’s own life along the Mississippi features colorful characters, a near-death experience, flying carp, and other flourishes worthy of a modern Mark Twain.
