The Death of Discourse

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book explores one of the most disturbing intellectual dilemmas of our time -- that our beloved First Amendment is being exploited in the name of the dumbing of America. It is the first book to examine the popular culture of the FirstAmendment, specifically with reference to television, advertising, and pornography. Comparing the culture of popular discourse with traditional First Amendment ideals, the authors expose the vast gap between our speech practices and our speech principles. Is the tyranny of the trivialization of discourse a problem? In a dialogue-like way, the authors invite their readers to judge. [detailed...]

The Death of Gentlemanly Capitalism (Penguin Business)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe first book to look at how and why the British banking industry sold out A revolution took place in the City in the 80s and 90s. The cosy club of British merchant banking collapsed in a series of sell-outs, closures and scandals. This left the City dominated by US and European giants. Was this the inevitable result of globalization, or did mismanagement play a part? This is the first book to look at how and why the British merchant banks and brokers sold out, and where that leaves us. Augar tells this fascinating story with pace and drama, taking us through the Thatcher years, the crash of 1987, Big Bang, and the aggressive invasion of the American banks. He looks at why the British banks failed to keep pace with the Americans, what this says about the way they were run, and what this means for the future. [detailed...]

Leo Tolstoy
The Death of Ivan Ilyich

2004 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Count Leo Tolstoy is best known for `War and Peace` and `Anna Karenina`, commonly regarded as amongst the greatest novels ever written. He also, however, wrote many masterly short stories, and this volume contains four of the longest and best in distinguished translations that have stood the test of time. In the early story `Family Happiness`, Tolstoy explores the subject of courtship and marriage from the point of view of a young wife, in `The Kreutzer Sonata` he gives us a terrifying study of marital breakdown, in `The Devil`, he depicts the powerful pressures of sexual temptation, and in perhaps the finest of all, `The Death of Ivan llyich`, he portrays the long agony of a man gradually coming to terms with his own mortality. This volume also includes an Introduction and Notes written specially for this Wordsworth edition by Dr Tim Cook, formerly lecturer in literature at the Universities of Kingston and Ulster. Previous work contributed by Dr Cook for Wordsworth… [detailed...]

The Death of Right and Wrong : Exposing the Left`s Assault on Our Culture and Values

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIf you believe children should be seduced into warped sexual behavior by the Gay Elite, if you think confessed murderers should be set free by defense attorneys who know how to wield the race card, if you feel promiscuous gay men should be empowered to spread AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, don’t read this book. But if you’ve always suspected that factions on the Left are trying to destroy the values that define our civilization, this book proves it. Through the pages of The Death of Right and Wrong , author, activist, and pundit Tammy Bruce takes you inside the chilling world of the Left—a place where morals and decency have been turned on their heads and the crisp distinction between Right and Wrong has been blurred into a mushy, gray mess. In this world, the Gay Elite exploit our children—under the guise of tolerance and education—to satisfy their sexual obsessions. In this world, the Black Elite… [detailed...]

The Death of Sardanapalus and Other Poems of the Iraq Wars

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Death of Sardanapalus uniquely brings together impassioned works of insight, hope, and defiance covering the breadth and dark depths of `Operation Iraqi Freedom,` and `Operation Desert Storm` through a sequence of poems beginning withthe devastation of 9/11. Written during the first nightmare term of George W. Bush, up to the election of 2004, these poems speak truth to power and illuminate the major political and military indiscriminations, blunders, lies, and hoaxes of Bush`s `Waron Terror.` The Death of Sardanapalus is a work of political expose, heartfelt opposition to a tragic, avoidable leap into the atrocities of an illegal war, and offers Ray`s own grief and artistic compassion toward the betrayed muse of history, whose scorched pages overflow with the blood, suffering, and anguish of countless innocent victims. Ray has produced a literary litany and lament of such lasting clarity and poignancy as to bring tears to the eyes of those dead who gave their… [detailed...]

The Death of a Thousand Cuts: Corporate Campaigns and the Attack on the Corporation

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A corporate campaign is an organized assault on the reputation of a company that has offended some interest group. Although corporate campaigns often involve political, economic, and legal tactics, they are centered around the media, where protagonists attempt to redefine the image-and undermine the reputation-of the target company. It is a strategy most frequently employed by unions but is also employed by special interests such as environmental or human rights groups. Sometimes it is even employed by one corporation against another. It is a rapidly growing phenomenon that is still unknown to the general public, to most academics and journalists, and is rarely understood by the corporations that find themselves on the firing line. The Death of a Thousand Cuts argues and demonstrates that corporate campaigns are a distinctive phenomenon whose manifestations are today ubiquitous in both the marketplace and the media. This volume examines, in considerable detail, the history,… [detailed...]

The Death of the Banker : The Decline and Fall of the Great Financial Dynasties and the Triumph of the Small Investor

Publisher: —
Description: `For anyone interested in the world behind the business-page headlines, this is the book to read.` --Publishers Weekly With the same breadth of vision and narrative elan he brought to his monumental biographies of the great financiers, Ron Chernow examines the forces that made dynasties like the Morgans, the Warburgs, and the Rothschilds the financial arbiters of the early twentieth century and then rendered them virtually obsolete by the century`s end. As he traces the shifting balance of power among investors, borrowers, and bankers, Chernow evokes both the grand theater of capital and the personal dramas of its most fascinating protagonists. Here is Siegmund Warburg, who dropped a client in the heat of a takeover deal because theman wore monogrammed shirt cuffs, as well as the imperious J. P. Morgan, who, when faced with a federal antitrust suit, admonished Theodore Roosevelt to `send your man to my man and they can fix it up.` And here are the men who… [detailed...]

The Death of the Dollar?: New Threats and Challenges to the Sustainability of the Dollar as the International Currency

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since it\`s remarkable rise from the ashes of WWII, the dollar has established itself as the international currency of choice. Supported by America\`s superpower status, its premier position appeared guaranteed for many years to come. Recent threats however have emerged, which are threatening to not only dislodge the dollar from its unique and distinguished role, but also put to the test America\`s continued dominance in international affairs. Arpad Varga\`s scholarly research dives into one of the most pressing issues of our time: the continuity of the international monetary system in its present form. Can the backer of the international currency continue to be the largest debtor nation in the world? Will the proposed Euro denominated Iranian oil bourse be able to provide the opportunity for the world to shift away from the dollar? If so, can the Euro actually replace the dollar as the international currency? Find the answers to these crucial questions and discover what possibilities… [detailed...]

The Death-Bound-Subject : Richard Wrights Archaeology of Death (Post-Contemporary Interventions)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDuring the 1940s, in response to the charge that his writing was filled with violence, Richard Wright replied that the manner came from the matter, that the ?relationship of the American Negro to the American scene [was] essentially violent,? and that he could deny neither the violence he had witnessed nor his own existence as a product of racial violence. Abdul R. JanMohamed provides extraordinary insight into Wright’s position in this, the first study to explain the fundamental ideological and political functions of the threat of lynching in Wright’s work and thought. JanMohamed argues that Wright’s oeuvre is a systematic and thorough investigation of what he calls the death-bound-subject, the subject who is formed from infancy onward by the imminent threat of death. He shows that with each successive work, Wright delved deeper into the question of how living under a constant menace of physical violence affected his protagonists and how… [detailed...]

This is not the hundredth book on Provencal cuisine nor is it the seven hundredth book about Italian dining. Through their own irreverent narrative and selections from the works of others perhaps more wicked, Lucan &, Gray take us along on a whirlwind journey -- steeped in myth, mystery, and misadventure -- through the culinary ages while reflecting on the gastronomical quirks, conceits, strange tastes and peculiar table-side manners of the periods? most outrageousfigures. Sure the authors recommend blood, exotic meat (the aye-aye), strange herbs (samphire), and butter statues, but the real shock may be that these guys are serious.

The Decameron And The Philosophy Of Storytelling

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this creative and engaging reading, Richard Kuhns explores the ways in which Decameron`s sexual themes lead into philosophical inquiry, moral argument, and aesthetic and literary criticism. As he reveals the stories` many philosophical insights and literary pleasures, Kuhns also examines Decameron in the context of the nature of storytelling, its relationship to other classic works of literature, and the culture of trecento Italy. Stories and storytelling are to be interpreted in terms of a wider cultural context that includes masks, metamorphosis, mythic themes, and character analysis, all of which Boccaccio explores with wit and subtlety. As a storyteller, Boccaccio represents himself as literary pimp, conceiving the relationship between storyteller and audience in sexual terms within a tradition that goes back as far as Socrates` conversations with the young Athenians. As a whole, Boccaccio`s great collection of stories creates a trenchant criticism… [detailed...]
