James O`Toole
The Executive`s Compass: Business and the Good Society

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: American society has become increasingly polarized by single- and special-interest groups: the Greens, who demand environmental purity, admirers of Japan who want a national industrial policy, supply-side economists who want government to all but disappear. This collision of values has turned America into a battleground of either/or tradeoffs: the community vs. the individual, the environment vs. jobs, the rights of each ethnic group vs. the needs of the nation for unity. Whose values should prevail? Those of Libertarians? Communitarians? Egalitarians? Corporatists? The nation`s leadership role in the post-communist world will be largely determined by how such conflicts in the political economy are resolved. Increasingly, business executives find themselves drawn into these values wars, forced to make decisions in a hothouse climate in which there are countless and conflicting opinions about what is right and wrong. Business leaders find themselves caught in the values thicket… [detailed...]

The Exile: Sex, Drugs, and Libel in the New Russia

2000 y.
Publisher: Grove Press
Description: The eXile is the controversial biweekly tabloid founded by Americans Mark Ames and Matt Taibbi that Rolling Stone has called `cruel, caustic, and funny` and `a must-read.` In the tradition of gonzo journalists like Hunter S.Thompson, Ames and Taibbi cover everything from decadent club scenes to the nation`s collapsing political and economic systems - no person or institution is spared from their razor sharp satiric viewpoint. They take you beneath the surface of the Russia that most Western journalists cover, bringing to life the metropolis that Ames describes as `manic, nihilistic, grotesque, horrible, and yet, in its own way, far superior to any city on Earth. Featuring artwork and articles from their groundbreaking newspaper, The eXile is the inside story of how the tabloid came to be and how Ames and Taibbi broke their biggest stories - all the while playing hysterically vicious practical jokes, racking up innumerable death threats, and ingesting a mother lode of speed. It`s… [detailed...]

The Exmoor Files: How I Lost a Husband and Found Rural Bliss

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Liz Jones lived the perfect urban life. The immaculate Georgian townhouse in a leafy London square. The glamorous career where she would hob nob (not the right word: these people don`t eat biscuits) with models and movie stars and fashion designers. The Italian wardrobe stuffed with designer bags and shoes. The much younger novelist husband. But then it all goes horribly wrong. She discovers her husband has been having numerous affairs (with women who are younger, dimmer, slimmer) and realises that her pursuit of perfection has never made her happy, and probably never will. And so she decides to start all over again, burying herself alive in the middle of the bleak, unforgiving wilderness that is Exmoor National Park. She buys a wreck of a farmhouse, with an original stable block, 46 acres, an ancient wood and a lake. She rescues a nervous and abused but breathtakingly beautiful racehorse, nursing the dream that she will be able to ride her thoroughbred bareback on the beach, spend… [detailed...]

But blood-and-thunder preacher Ernest Peterson has a sacred mission to complete, and he`s not about to let Knox or anyone else get in his way. Then Knox`s partner Gaille Bonnard is abducted, and a hostage tape on TV threatens her with execution. Certain she`s hidden a message in the broadcast, and with time running out, Knox races across Egypt to the mysterious ancient city of Amarna and the tomb of a heretic pharaoh that may just provide the answer to the great riddle of the Exodus itself.

Millions diein Florida, Cuba, and Venezuela, their lives blotted out in a blazing millisecond.

The Expediency of Culture: Uses of Culture in the Global Era (Post-Contemporary Interventions)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Expediency of Culture is a pioneering theorization of the changing role of culture in an increasingly global world. George Yudice explores critically how groups ranging from indigenous activists to nation-states to nongovernmental organizations have all come to see culture as a valuable resource to be invested in, contested, and used for varied sociopolitical and economic ends. Through a dazzling series of illustrative studies, Yudice challenges the Gramscian notion of cultural struggle for hegemony and develops instead an understanding of culture where cultural agency at every level is negotiated within globalized contexts dominated by the active management and administration of culture. He describes a world where `high` culture (such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain) is a mode of urban development, rituals and everyday aesthetic practices are mobilized to promote tourism and the heritage industries, and mass culture industries comprise… [detailed...]

The Experience of Artmaking: Body, self and word as ontological environment

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book came from a belief that an inquiry into the creative process would provide me a different perspective from aesthetics, which was familiar to me as an artist. The idea of creativity is shrouded in mystery. I have often wondered whether my brain functions in the same way when I am painting as when I am solving a mathematical problem. The purpose of this book is to look into the nature of creativity to better understand what it is to be an artist. I know that all of my senses are implicated in my art making process. Paintings come from deep inside and materialise before me on the surface of a canvas. Experience and time are visible in the brush marks. My creative process is phenomenological when I consider the things that I perceive while focusing on my senses. I can decide whether or not I am open to awareness of my organism and as I focus on my physical state, metaphors emerge. The bridge that I cross from inside to the outside of my… [detailed...]

The Experience of Retirement

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Retirement brings with it the promises of leisure and freedom as well as the risks of boredom and isolation. When retirees rid their schedules of anything resembling the kinds of obligations that once had been imposed by work, they will experience a sometimes-uncomfortable absence of structure. In The Experience of Retirement, the distinguished sociologist Robert S. Weiss provides a detailed description of how some people plan their retirement, what life in retirement is like, and what makes for a fulfilling retirement. His engaging book can thus serve as a most useful guide. Weiss shows us both retirement`s benefits and its possible costs, both the relief retirees can feel once free of work`s stresses and constraints and the discomfort that can be caused by loss of the positive aspects of working life. The book is based on extensive interviews with eighty-nine men and women before and after their retirement from middle-income careers. Weiss makes vivid their experiences by… [detailed...]

The Experiment in the History of Economics (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Until recently, there was long resistance to the idea that economics can lend itself to experimentation. Going back at least as far as John Stuart Mill and continuing until very recently, it was widely held that economics was not an experimental discipline. The contributions in this book show, however, that the concept of the `experiment` has been persistently present, in various guises, throughout the history of the field. This has been most obviously shown by the post-war rise of behavioral economics, to which experimentation is central - but the tradition can actually be shown to have started much earlier with some of Wicksell`s work on monetary reform foreshadowing the operations of the pioneers.

The Exploit: A Theory of Networks

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press
Description: The network has become the core organizational structure for postmodern politics, culture, and life, replacing the modern era`s hierarchical systems. From peer-to-peer file sharing and massive multiplayer online games to contagion vectors of digital or biological viruses and global affiliations of terrorist organizations, the network form has become so invasive that nearly every aspect of contemporary society can be located within it. Borrowing their title from the hacker term for a program that takes advantage of a flaw in a network system, Alexander R. Galloway and Eugene Thacker challenge the widespread assumption that networks are inherently egalitarian. Instead, they contend that there exist new modes of control entirely native to networks, modes that are at once highly centralized and dispersed, corporate and subversive. In this provocative book-length essay, Galloway and Thacker argue that a whole new topology must be invented to resist and reshape the… [detailed...]
