Mark Twain`s Helpful Hints for Good Living: A Handbook for the Damned Human Race

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Irreverent, charming, eminently quotable, this handbook--an eccentric etiquette guide for the human race--contains sixty-nine aphorisms, anecdotes, whimsical suggestions, maxims, and cautionary tales from Mark Twain`s private and published writings. It dispenses advice and reflections on family life and public manners, opinions on topics such as dress, health, food, and childrearing and safety, and more specialized tips, such as those for dealing with annoying salesmen and burglars. Culled from Twain`s personal letters, autobiographical writings, speeches, novels, and sketches, these pieces are delightfully fresh, witty, startlingly relevant, and bursting with Twain`s characteristic ebullience for life. They also remind us exactly how Mark Twain came to be the most distinctive and well-known American literary voice in the world. These texts, some of them new or out of print for decades, have been selected and meticulously prepared by the editors at the Mark Twain Project. [detailed...]

Mark Wallinger: The Russian Linesman

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger is one of Britain`s most intellectually curious, socially committed and unpredictable artists. He is known for work that formally and conceptually negotiates seemingly opposed elements, like `Sleeper` (2004), in which he spent nine nights in Berlin`s Neue Nationalgalerie in a bear costume. For his contribution to the Hayward Gallery`s series of artist-curated projects, Wallinger explores the notion of liminality--an intermediate or transitional condition--which is illustrated through the thresholds and borders, simulacra and mirror images found in the work of William Blake, Vija Celmins, Tacita Dean, Thomas Demand, Albrecht Durer, Bruce Nauman, Guiseppe Penone and Fred Sandback.

Terry Gould
Marked for Death: Dying for the Story in the World`s Most Dangerous Places

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Worldwide, nearly three-quarters of journalists who die on assignment are targeted and assassinated for their dogged pursuit of important stories of injustice. In Marked for Death, Terry Gould brings this statistic to life, documenting the lives of seven journalists in Colombia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Russia, and Iraq who stayed on a story until their tragic deaths. Traveling to each locale, he talks with families, friends, colleagues, local officials, and even, in some cases, the parties who arranged the assassinations.Gould’s quest into these diverse hearts of darkness seeks answers to two questions that cut to the core of human morality. What makes journalists stay on a story despite the death threats or bribes to look the other way? And what are the conditions that create a climate in which journalists are assassinated and no charges are brought against the public figures who order the killings? In his riveting journey through countries dominated by corruption and violence,… [detailed...]

Market And Thought: Meditations on the Political and Biopolitical

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this ambitious book, Brett Levinson explores the possibilities for a genuinely radical critique of globalized culture and politics?at a time when intellectuals and nonintellectuals alike struggle to understand the configuration ofthe contemporary world. Levinson seeks to unsettle a naturalized and commonsensical assumption: that democracy and the economic market must be viewed as either united or at odds. Against both neoliberalists and cultural pluralists, he argues that the state is not yielding to the market, but that the universe now turns on a `duopoly` between statist and global forms, one that generates not only economic and cultural sites but also ways of knowing, a postdemocratic episteme. Touching upon currentissues such as terrorism, human rights, the attack on the World Trade Center, and the notion of the `people,` delving into the idea of biopolitics, and investigating the essential relation between language and political praxis, Levinson… [detailed...]

Market Cultures: Society and Morality in the New Asian Capitalisms

Publisher: —
Description: Market Cultures examines the spectacular growth of capitalist enterprise among overseas Chinese and Southeast Asians. It does so, not through formal models, but by way of the varied cultures and organizations in which Asian capitalism is embedded. Eschewing talk of a uniform Asian `miracle,` the book shows that there existed complex precedents for and against market capitalism in East and Southeast Asia, precedents that reflected subcultural heritages of religion, ethnicity, gender, and class. The case studies illuminate a cultural variety unacknowledged in most analyses of modern capitalism but vitally important for anyone wishing to understand one of the great economic transformations of our time.

Market Data Explained: A Practical Guide to Global Capital Markets Information.

2006 y.
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
Description: This book is intended to provide a guide to the universe of data content produced by the global capital markets on a daily basis. Commonly referred to as market data, the universe of content is very wide and the type of information correspondingly diverse. Jargon and acronyms are very common. As a result, users of marker data typically face difficulty in applying the content in analysis and business applications. This guide provides an independent framework for understanding this diversity and streamlining the process of referring to content and how it relates to todays business environment. The book achieves this goal by providing a consistent frame of reference for users of market data. As such, it is built around the concept of a data model a single, coherent view of the capital markets independent of any one source, such as an exchange. In particular it delineates clearly between the actual data content and how it is delivered (i.e., realtime data streams versus reference… [detailed...]

Market Discipline in Banking : Theory and Evidence (Research in Financial Services: Private and Public Policy)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIt has become increasingly evident in recent years that the safe and the efficient operation of the banking system cannot be guaranteed by Government regulation and supervisory review alone, regardless of how conscientious the regulator, or well-intended the regulations. Government regulation needs to be supplemented by market discipline. Market discipline requires the existence of at least some `de-facto at-risk` bank stakeholders, who have an incentive both to monitor the financial performance of the banks and to take action to influence bank management if they find performance unsatisfactory. But the concept of market discipline in banking was dormant for many years in the post-World War II era in almost all countries, as the fear of major economic spillover damage from bank failures led governments and regulators to either not failing insolvent banks officially or protecting most or all stakeholders, if they did place these banks in receivership. Only recently has… [detailed...]
