The Moonstone (подарочное издание)

2007 y.
Publisher: CRW Publishing Limited
Description: Великолепное подарочное издание. Книга в суперобложке с трехсторонним золотым обрезом и ляссе. `The Moonstone` is a magnificent yellow diamond, `large as a plover`s egg`, with a bloody history, which has been stolen from the home of Lady Verinder. An innocent man is accused of the crime. From this simple beginning Wilkie Collins creates a stunning, complex narrative of dark mystery, suspense and atmosphere. It is one of the cornerstones in the development of crime fiction. The poet and critic T.S.Eliot declared that it was `the first, the longest and the best of modern English detective novels`. But `The Moonstone`, which has fascinated readers since its first publication in 1868, is more than a `whodunnit`, like all Collins` works, it explores, dissects and exposes the society in which he lived. The richness of character and incident are engrossing, entertaining and enlightening. `The Moonstone` is one of the great Victorian novels. Формат… [detailed...]

The Moonstone

2008 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Called `the first and greatest of English detective novels` by T.S.Eliot, `The Moonstone` is a masterpiece of suspense. A fabulous yellow diamond becomes the dangerous inheritance of Rachel Verinder. Outside her Yorkshire country house watch the Hindu priests who have waited for many years to reclaim their ancient talisman, looted from the holy city of Somnauth. When the Moonstone disappears the case looks simple, but in mid-Victorian England no one is what they seem, and nothing can be taken for granted. Witnesses, suspects, and detectives each narrate the story in turn. The bemused butler, the love-stricken housemaid, the enigmatic detective Sergeant Cuff, the drug-addicted scientist - each speculate on the mystery as Collins weaves their narratives together. `The Moonstone` transcends the genre of detective novel or murder mystery, though, and this new edition features a fascinating introduction by John Sutherland which discusses the themes of imperialism, sensationalism and… [detailed...]

William Damon
The Moral Advantage: How to Succeed in Business by Doing the Right Thing

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This timely book is the result of a Stanford University study of `good work` in business, under William Damon`s direction. During the course of the study, researchers interviewed 48 men and women who have achieved success in business. The interviews revealed the surprisingly strong role that morality can play in successful business careers. Based on this information, Damon has developed a set of principles for using the Moral Advantage in business. These principles include `moral imagination` - creating a business concept that serves a larger purpose without losing profits, forthright communication that inspires trust, cooperative strategies that build teamwork and community, uses of the Golden Rule for managing complex relationships, philanthropic efforts that express compassion, and a public commitment to ethical standards. The book shows how and when business people can most effectively draw on these principles and explains how to develop the personal capacity to do so throughout… [detailed...]

The Moral Capital Of Leaders: Why Virtue Matters (New Horizons in Leadership Studies Series)

Publisher: —
Description: Solidly grounded on Aristotelian anthropology, moral capital develops a set of principles, practices and metrics useful to business leaders and managers, while eliminating the ambiguity of social capital and allowing for the integration of business ethics initiatives into a robust corporate culture. Sison studies a wide range of recent management cases from the viewpoint of moral capital: the sorry state of US airport screeners before 9-11, the Ford Explorer rollovers and Firestone tire failures, the battle for the `HP way` between Carly Fiorina and the heirs of the founding families, the dynamics of Microsoft`s serial monopolistic behavior, the pitfalls of Enron`s senior executives, the sincerity of Howard Lutnick`s commitment to Cantor Fitzgerald families, how Andersen`s loss of reputation proved mortal and a fresh look at Jack Welch`s purported achievements during his tenure at GE. He explains the relationship between different structural and operational levels in the human… [detailed...]

The Moral Ecology of Markets: Assessing Claims about Markets and Justice

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Disagreements about the morality of markets, and about self-interested behavior within markets, run deep. They arise from perspectives within economics and political philosophy that appear to have nothing in common. In this book, Daniel Finn provides a framework for understanding these conflicting points of view. Recounting the arguments for and against markets and self-interest, he argues that every economy must address four fundamental problems: allocation, distribution, scale, and the quality of relations. In addition, every perspective on the morality of markets addresses explicitly or implicitly the economic, political, and cultural contexts of markets, or what Finn terms `the moral ecology of markets`. His book enables a dialogue among the various participants in the debate over justice in markets. In this process, Finn engages with major figures in political philosophy, including John Rawls, Robert Nozick, and Michael Walzer, as well as in economics, notably Milton Friedman,… [detailed...]

The Moral Economy of the State: Conservation, Community Development, and State Making in Zimbabwe (Monographs in International Studies. Africa Series, No. 68)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Moral Economy of the State examines state formation in Zimbabwe from the colonial period through the first decade of independence. Drawing on the works of Gramsci, E. P. Thompson, and James Scott, William Munro develops a theory of `moral economy` that explores negotiations between rural citizens and state agents over legitimate state incursions in social life. This analysis demonstrates how states try to shape the meanings of citizenship for agrarian populations by redefining conceptions of the public good, property rights, and community membership. The book`s focus on the moral economy of the state offers a refreshing perspective on the difficulties experienced by postcolonial African states in building stronger state and rural institutions.

The Moral Economy

Publisher: —
Description: When all the momentous current changes in technology and social structure have run their course, we will have created a new world society. Will this society--the total complex of who we are and how we behave--resolve our major economic and social problems? This is the question that John P. Powelson addresses in his provocative new book, The Moral Economy . In his discussion of worldwide problems--including poverty, the environment, population growth, ethnic bias, welfare, social security, and health care--Powelson proposes that solutions to social problems are best sought in a greater balance of power among social groups. He explains how to design institutional structures, like government, education, and religion, that will permit conflict to be resolved peacefully and fairly. He also shows how a moral economy--a balance between interventionism and libertarianism--and economic prosperity are mutually reinforcing. The Moral Economy proposes… [detailed...]

The Moral Property of Women: A History of Birth Control Politics in America

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
Description: Arguing that reproduction control has always been central to women`s status, The Moral Property of Women shows how opposition to it has long been part of the conservative opposition to gender equality. From its roots in folk medicine and in a campaign so broad it constituted a grassroots social movement at some points in history, to its legitimization through public policy, the widespread acceptance of birth control has involved a major reorientation of sexual values. Gordon puts today`s reproduction control controversies-foreign aid for family planning, the abortion debates, teenage pregnancy and childbearing, stem-cell research-into historical perspective and shows how the campaign to legalize abortion is part of a 150-year-old struggle over reproductive rights, a struggle that has followed a circuitous path. Beginning with the `folk medicine` of birth control, Gordon discusses how the backlash against the first women`s rights movement of the 1800s prohibited both abortion and… [detailed...]

The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents (Presidential Rhetoric Series, No. 17)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although sometimes decried by pundits, George W. Bush`s use of moral and religious rhetoric is far from unique in the American presidency. The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents astutely analyzes the president`s role as the nation`s moral spokesman. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative methods, Colleen J. Shogan demonstrates that moral and religious rhetoric is a strategic tool presidents can use to enhance their constitutional authority. To determine how the use of moral rhetoric has changed over time, Shogan employs content analysis of the inaugural and annual addresses of all the presidents from George Washington through George W. Bush. This quantitative evidence shows that while presidents of both parties have used moral and religious arguments, the frequency has fluctuated considerably and the language has become increasingly detached from relevant policy arguments. Shogan explores the political effects of the rhetorical choices presidents make through nine… [detailed...]
