The Amoral Elephant: Globalization and the Struggle for Social Justice in the Twenty-First Century

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In what may well have been the largest popular protest in this country of the last twenty years, more than forty thousand demonstrators in Seattle effectively shut down a World Trade Organization (WTO) conference late last year. Against the backdrop of this historic event, William K. Tabb issues a comprehensive examination of the world capitalist system at the start of the twenty-first century disputing those who see globalization as the steamroller against which the most powerful nations are helpless. It is in fact the most powerful states that have created globalization. The Amoral Elephant examines the implications of globalization, draws parallels to earlier stages of capitalist development to demonstrate the social burdens arising from the exploding financial markets. Tabb describes how international institutions, most importantly the International Monetary Fund and the WTO have focused on neoliberal goals to erode the welfare state and shift wealth from the poor to… [detailed...]

The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue : A Child of the Fifties Looks Back

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Dear Reader, When we asked the beloved award-winning comedian and actor Robert Klein to write a book, you can imagine our utter surprise when he told us that he wanted to write about sixth-century Chinese pottery. Thankfully,he hit a creative brick wall (since he doesn`t really know anything about pottery from China or anywhere else). Then came similar failures to write books about sea turtles, circumnavigation of the globe, building jet engines at home, the sociology of chickens, or fungi of the skin. Luckily, Mr. Klein`s paramount concern was the consumer. He knew that if we, his publishers, were going to boldly ask you to purchase his book (see above for price), he would have to write something so good, so worthwhile, so meaningful as to make you want to send additional money to your bookseller in gratitude for having allowed you to partake in this reading experience. So Mr. Klein set out to write about what he knows best: himself. This book is… [detailed...]

The Analytics of Uncertainty and Information (Cambridge Surveys of Economic Literature)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Recent intellectual advances in the theory of uncertainty and information are presented in this book, which unifies many important but partial results into a satisfying single picture, making it clear how the economics of uncertainty and information generalizes and extends standard economic analysis. Part 1 covers the economics of uncertainty: each person adapts to a given fixed state of knowledge by making an optimal choice among the immediate `terminal` actions available. These choices in turn determine the overall market equilibrium reflecting the social distribution of risk-bearing. In Part 2, covering the economics of information, the state of knowledge is no longer held fixed, and individuals can overcome their ignorance by `informational` actions. The text also addresses many specific topics such as insurance, the Capital Asset Pricing Model, auctions, deterrence of entry, and research and invention. [detailed...]

Siva Vaidhyanathan
The Anarchist in the Library: How the Clash Between Freedom and Control is Hacking the Real World and Crashing the System

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From Napster to Total Information Awareness to flash mobs, the debates over who gets to control information and technology has revolved around a single question: How closely do we want the virtual world to resemble the real world? But while we weren`t looking, the opposite has happened: The real world has started imitating the virtual world--in some alarming ways. More and more of our social, political, and religious activities are modeling themselves after the World Wide Web, along the lines of either anarchy or oligarchy, total freedom vs. complete control. And battle lines are being drawn. On one side, trying to maintain control of information, are corporations, judges, the military, and global institutions. On the other side, trying to liberate information, are educators, hackers, civil libertarians, artists, consumers, and political dissidents. The Anarchist in the Library , by the rising young academic star Siva Vaidhyanathan, is a radically original look at how this… [detailed...]

Publisher: Vintage
Description: At forty, the writer Nathan Zuckerman comes down with a mysterious affliction - pure pain, beginning in his neck and shoulders, invading his torso, and taking possession of his spirit. Zuckerman, whose work was his life, is unable to write a line. Now his work is trekking from one doctor to another, but none can find a cause for the pain and nobody can assuage it. Zuckerman himself wonders if the pain can have been caused by his own books. And while he is wondering, his dependence on painkillers extends to an addiction to vodka and marijuana. The third volume of the trilogy and epilogue `Zuckerman Bound`, `The Anatomy Lesson` is a great comedy of illness and provides some of the funniest scenes in all of Roth`s fiction as well as some of the fiercest.

Description: Anatomy museums around the world showcase preserved corpses in service of education and medical advancement, but they are little-known and have been largely hidden from the public eye. Elizabeth Hallam here investigates the anatomy museum and how it reveals the fascination and fears that surround the dead body in Western societies.Hallam explores the history of these museums and how they operate in the current cultural environment. Their regulated access increasingly clashes with evolving public mores toward the exposed body, as demonstrated by the international popularity of the Body Worlds exhibition. The book examines such related topics as artistic works that employ the images of dead bodies and the larger ongoing debate over the disposal of corpses. Issues such as aesthetics and science, organ and body donations, and the dead body in Western religion and ritual are also discussed here in fascinating depth. The Anatomy Museum unearths a strange and compelling cultural history that… [detailed...]

The Anatomy of Design: Uncovering the Influences and Inspiration in Modern Graphic Design

Publisher: Rockport Publishers
Description: Designers are conceptual pack rats, they crowd as much raw material into their brains as possible, and then draw upon it to create their work. `The Anatomy of Design` reveals how great design derives from countless inspirational sources - some well known, some unknown, some obvious, some seemingly inconsequential, and all relevant. Metaphorically speaking, this unique book is an anatomical cross-section of 49 finished contemporary designs. Just peel away the outer skin to reveal a skeleton that holds together distinct organs - each of which affects the others. Remove a single part, and the design pathology is altered. This anatomical study teaches us how the body of design history is incorporated into contemporary work - how one motif evolves (and dissolves] into another, how one technique results in a better one. Below the surface of any poster, package, book cover, or billboard is creative DNA that determines and defines a reason for being. Формат: 25,5 см x 25,5… [detailed...]
