William Bonner and Lila Rajiva
Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Bestselling author Bill Bonner has long been a maverick observer of the financial and political world, sharpening his sardonic wit, in particular, on the vagaries of the investing public. Market booms and busts, tulip manias and dotcom bubbles, venture capitalists and vulture funds, he lets you know, are best explained not by dry statistics and obscure theories but by the metaphors and analogies of literature. Now, in `Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets`, Bonner and freelance journalist Lila Rajiva use literary economics to offer broader insights into mass behavior and its devastating effects on society. Why is it, they ask, that perfectly sane and responsible individuals can get together, and by some bizarre alchemy turn into an irrational mob? What makes them trust charlatans and demagogues who manipulate their worst instincts? Why do they abandon good sense, good behavior and good taste when an empty slogan is waved in front of them. Why is the road to hell paved with so many… [detailed...]

For 50 years, organized crime has been the elephant in organized labor`s living room, unacknowledged and unexplained. Jacobs has critically analyzed every facet of this apparently intractable problem--from its roots to the federal government`s various efforts to challenge organized crime`s influence. From this point forward, no one can think critically about this problem without relying on Jacobs` work.`--Robert Luskin, General Executive Board Attorney, Laborers` International Union of North America `Jacobs presents a near encyclopedic account of… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: View the Table of Contents . Read the Introduction . `Jacobs offers a history of the federal government`s efforts to curb labor racketeering. The heart of his text focuses on the results achieved by employing Civil RICO suits to wee out organized crime from unions long mired in corruption. The Justice Department has mounted twenty such efforts since 1982, and Jacobs`s book is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment of this controversial tactic. He tackles this ambitious projct with a combination of detailed research, clear writing, and judicious consideration, all of which have been a hallmark of his previous texts on corruption and organized crime. The result is a must read book for anyone interested in the problem of unioncorruption and what to do about it.` ?

Moby Dick

1994 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: In his imagination Melville lived as well as wrote Moby Dick, his great epic of whales and whaling. It tells the story of Ahab, Captain of the Pequod, and of his revenge-mission and insane pursuit of Moby Dick, the fierce white whale. Among Ahab`s crew is Ishmael, a young man undergoing a gruelling rite of passage and pursuing a different salvation. As the Pequod circles the globe like a latter-day Noah`s Ark, so Moby Dick ranges and digresses through space and time, through mythologies, religions and philosophies. It is Melville`s great `romance of adventure` and one of the greatest novels of all time. Формат: 11 см x 18 см. [detailed...]

Moby-Dick (Barnes &, Noble Classics Series) (B&,N Classics Trade Paper)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description On a previous voyage, a mysterious white whale had ripped off the leg of a sea captain named Ahab. Now the crew of the Pequod, on a pursuit that features constant adventure and horrendous mishaps, must follow the mad Ahab into the abyss to satisfy his unslakeable thirst for vengeance. Narrated by the cunningly observant crew member Ishmael, Moby-Dick is the tale of the hunt for the elusive, omnipotent, and ultimately mystifying white whale—Moby Dick. On its surface, Moby-Dick is a vivid documentary of life aboard a nineteenth-century whaler, a virtual encyclopedia of whales and whaling, replete with facts, legends, and trivia that Melville had gleaned from personal experience and scores of sources. But as the quest for the whale becomes increasingly perilous, the tale works on allegorical levels, likening the whale to human greed, moral consequence, good, evil, and life itself. Who is good? The great white whale who, like Nature,… [detailed...]

Moby-Dick (подарочное издание)

2004 y.
Publisher: CRW Publishing Limited
Description: Великолепное подарочное издание. Книга в суперобложке с трехсторонним золотым обрезом и ляссе. On board the whaling ship `Pequod` a crew of wise men and fools, renegades, and seeming phantoms is hurled through treacherous seas by a crazed captain hell-bent on hunting down the mythic White Whale. As the `great flood-gates of the wonder-world` swing open, Melville transforms the little world of the whale-ship into a crucible where mankind`s fears, faith and frailties are pitted against a relentless fate. Teeming with ideas and imagery, and with its extraordinary, compressed intensity sustained by a buoyant, mischievous irony and by moments of exquisite beauty, Melville`s masterpiece is both a great American epic and one of the most profoundly imaginative creations in literary history.

Moche Portraits from Ancient Peru (Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOf all the ancient civilizations that flourished in the Americas, only one perfected true portraiture of living people and produced it in quantity--the Moche who inhabited the north coast of Peru between approximately AD 100 and 800. Using the medium of three-dimensional ceramic vessels that could have contained liquid, Moche artisans typically formed the heads of the individuals they wished to portray, though sometimes they presented full figures with realistic portrait faces. Depicting an astonishing range of physical types, these portraits now allow us to meet Moche people who lived more than 1,500 years ago and to sense the nuances of their individual personalities. This pathfinding book presents the first wide-ranging, systematic study of the Moche portraits. Drawing on more than 900 examples from museums and private collections around the world--some 300 of which are illustrated here in full color--Christopher Donnan documents how the portrait tradition evolved,… [detailed...]

Susan McClary
Modal Subjectivities: Self-Fashioning in the Italian Madrigal

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this boldly innovative book, renowned musicologist Susan McClary presents an illuminating cultural interpretation of the Italian madrigal, one of the most influential repertories of the Renaissance. A genre that sought to produce simulations in sound of complex interiorities, the madrigal introduced into music a vast range of new signifying practices: musical representations of emotions, desire, gender stereotypes, reason, madness, tensions between mind and body, and much more. In doing so, it not only greatly expanded the expressive agendas of European music but also recorded certain assumptions of the time concerning selfhood, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the history of Western subjectivity. Modal Subjectivities covers the span of the sixteenth-century polyphonic madrigal, from its early manifestations in Philippe Verdelot`s settings of Machiavelli in the 1520s through the tortured chromatic experiments of Carlo Gesualdo. Although McClary… [detailed...]

Model American

Description: Working with ordinary people who answered ads in local papers, posing them in their nondescript homes or unexceptional landscapes, and using relatively simple equipment, Katy Grannan alchemizes these factors into extraordinary photographs. Disarming for their directness and for the provocative but casual nudity on display, her pictures capture the spirit of her subjects in the manner of Diane Arbus, but they also draw upon the artificial, posed tableaux of Gregory Crewsdon and, indeed, art history. The posture of the tattooed and tanned (and nude) figure in Mike , a 2003 portrait which appeared in the 2004 Whitney Biennial, resembles nothing so much as the awkward repose of the desert nomad in Henri Rousseau`s Sleeping Gypsy . In this first monograph, over half of the photographs are previously unpublished, providing a fresh depth to our understanding of this already widely known and accomplished young artist.
