Helen Keller
The World I Live in

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: She could neither see nor hear, but she experienced the world as a richly vital place, redolent of smells that were a language to her and alive with vibrations that spoke to her alone. American author and activist HELEN ADAMS KELLER (1880-1968) was already famous, thanks to her 1903 biography, when she wrote this 1908 collection of beautifully poetic essays that brought readers enthralled with her story deeper insights into how she `saw` the world. Here, she wonders at how limited the senses of others appear to her and how deeply language colors perception, and offers us a startling account of the nothingness that was her existence before her `soul dawn,` before her famous teacher, Annie Sullivan, drew her out of her insular semiconsciousness. Surely one of the most extraordinary books ever written, but one of the most extraordinary people of recent centuries, this is a classic exploration of what it means to be human and alive that continues to captivate readers today.

The World Is Flat

2007 y.
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Description: The World Is Flat is Thomas L. Friedman’s account of the great changes taking place in our time, as lightning-swift advances in technology and communications put people all over the globe in touch as never before—creating an explosion of wealth in India and China, and challenging the rest of us to run even faster just to stay in place. This updated and expanded edition features more than a hundred pages of fresh reporting and commentary, drawn from Friedman’s travels around the world and across the American heartland—from anyplace where the flattening of the world is being felt. In The World Is Flat , Friedman at once shows “how and why globalization has now shifted into warp drive” (Robert Wright, Slate) and brilliantly demystifies the new flat world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering scene unfolding before their eyes.

Nikky Finney
The World Is Round

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this extraordinary collection of poems and prose, Nikky Finney once again demonstrates her distinctive ability to speak to the heart. With her gift for creating imagery that transfixes and words that dance on the page, Finney captivatingly draws attention to some of life?s most intimate moments. In The World Is Round, the author is a chorus of monks. She is an elephant longing for home. She is sweetgrass and the confederate flag. She is an umbilical cord and a southern congressman?s retarded son. She is a woman?s grotesquely cut body and her father?s last cigarette. With her remarkable and truthful poetic style, Finney gracefully puts us in touch with ourselves and holds our unwavering gaze as she bears witness to the effects of struggle, community, sensuality, hatred and hunger. Nikky Finney?s view of the world informs us uniquely of its roundness?not simply because a Portuguese explorer said it was so in the 16th century…. [detailed...]

The World Is Watching: Video As Multinational Aesthetics, 1968-1995

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEvolving rapidly from the movie screen to the television screen to the computer screen, video culture has blossomed from its origins as an obscure spin-off of the 1960s Anglo-American media culture into one of the leading art forms of thelate twentieth century. And as such, video culture has grown from being the dominion of small but dedicated cult followings to becoming a near mainstream cinematic interest. The World Is Watching: Video as Multinational Aesthetics, 1968?1995 explores the origins and implications of this powerful visual medium which crosses national, cultural, and political boundaries to present provocative tales of the highest quality. Dennis Redmond`s probing study is rooted in close readings of three stylish and highly successful video efforts?The Prisoner (1967), The Decalogue (1988), and Neon Genesis: Evangelion (1995). Irish director and star Patrick McGoohan`s classic science fiction vision, The Prisoner, established many of the… [detailed...]

The World Next Door: South Asian American Literature and the Idea of America (Asian American History and Culture)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book grows out of the question, `What is South Asian American writing and what insights can it offer us about living in the world at this particular moment of tense geopolitics and inter-linked economies?` South Asian American literature, with its focus on the multiple geographies and histories of the global dispersal of South Asians, pulls back from a close-up view of the United States to reveal a wider landscape of many nations and peoples. Drawing on the cosmopolitan sensibility of scholars like Anthony Appiah, Vinay Dharwadker, Martha Nussbaum, Bruce Robbins, and Amartya Sen, this book argues that to read the body of South Asian American literature justly, one must engage with the urgencies of places as diverse as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Burma, Pakistan, and Trinidad. Poets, novelists, and playwrights like Indran Amirthanayagam, Meena Alexander, Amitav Ghosh, Michael Ondaatje, Shani Mootoo, Amitava Kumar, Tahira Naqvi, and Sharbari Ahmed exhort… [detailed...]

The World Trade Organization: A Very Short Introduction

2005 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Since its inception, the World Trade Organization has generated debate, controversy, and even outrage. Its far-reaching impact on peoples` everyday lives makes the WTO a subject of importance not just to economists, but to everyone. It is simultaneously accused of both not doing enough and of doing too much, and its high-level meetings have come to be associated with impassioned and angry protests. This book provides a timely exploration of what the WTO is, what it does, and the complicated politics involved in its negotiations and rulings. Confronting the controversy surrounding the WTO head-on, the author highlights issues of power, marginalization, and development, and raises the important question of whether it actually deserves the reputation it has come to acquire.

Then, a discussion of the organization`s structure, rules, membership criteria, and decision making processes provides the foundation for an exploration of key issues - e.g., agreements dealing with agricultural products, textiles, and dumping - that continue to be sources of international tension.The rapidly growing global service economy is the topic of an entire chapter, as is the passionately debated subject of intellectual property rights. Emerging issues such as the environment, e-commerce, and the new roles of the developing countries also receive thorough attention.
