Watch Yourself: Why Safer Isn`t Always Better

2007 y.
Publisher: New Star Books
Description: From warnings on coffee cups to colour-coded terrorist gauges to ubiquitous security cameras, our culture is obsessed with safety. Some of this is drive by lawyers and insurance, and some by over-zealous public officials, but much is indicative of a cultural conversation that has lost its bearings. The result is not just a neurotically restrictive society, but one which actively undermines individual and community self-reliance. More importantly, we are creating a world of officious administration, management by statistics, absurd regulations, rampaging lawsuits, and hygenically cleansed public spaces. We are trying to render the human and natural worlds predictable and calculated. In doing so, we are trampling common discourse about politics and ethics. Hern asserts that safer just isn`t always better. Throughout `Watch Yourself`, he emphasizes the need to rethink our approach to risk, reconsider our fixation with safety, and reassert individual decision-making. [detailed...]

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn the early 1960s, whenever the Today Show discussed integration, wlbt-tv, the nbc affiliate in Jackson, Mississippi, cut away to local news after announcing that the Today Show content was `network news . . . represent[ing] the views ofthe northern press.` This was only one part of a larger effort by wlbt and other local stations to keep African Americans and integrationists off Jackson?s television screens. Watching Jim Crow presents the vivid story of the successful struggles ofAfrican Americans to achieve representation in the tv programming of Jackson, a city many considered one of the strongest bastions of Jim Crow segregation. Steven D. Classen provides a detailed social history of media activism and communications policy during the civil rights era. He focuses on the years between 1955?when Medgar Evers and the naacp began urging the two local stations, wlbt and wjtv, to stop censoring African Americans and discussions of integration?and 1969,… [detailed...]

Johnny Henderson
Watching Monty

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionJohnny Henderson spent four years during the Second World War as aide de camp to one of Britain`s most famous soldiers of the twentieth century, General Bernard Montgomery or Monty as he was popularly known. Shortly before he died in 2003, Henderson wrote about his time with Monty at Tac HQ. His account takes the form of a series of insightful anecdotes and brief pen sketches that give a fascinating and often humorous window on life with Monty and those with whom he worked, or came into contact with, during the war years. These people range from King George VI, Winston Churchill and Sir Alan Brooke, to Eisenhower and the German surrender delegation on Luneberg Heath. Drawing on his own unpublished private photograph albums and the photographic collections of the Imperial War Museum, Johnny Henderson relates his time as Monty`s ADC, from the Western Desert to Berlin, in the form of a photographic anecdotal scrap book. His pithy observations of life at Tac HQ make! a… [detailed...]

As we celebrate our first African-American president, Barack Obama, in a world where American soldiers are still fighting wars halfway across the globe and where the threat of nuclear weapons still exists, generations both young and old need to understand the past events that were so instrumental in shaping our lives today.Watching Walter Cronkite had its beginning when Dr. Kutscher realized his teenage daughter was part of a generation, born after 1980, oblivious to issues that have been the foundation of their parents` ideals.

Watching Words Move

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Words have the power to move. In 1962 a modest design studio created its own riff on that statement in the form of a small booklet of typographic brilliance, and changed forever how designers thought about the graphic potential of words. Decades later, the impact of watching words move is still felt. Never before had the idea been so lucidly and playfully expressed that type itself could speak, that word-forms carried their own implied visual meanings, that the placement of letters on the page could suggest motion, narrative, emotion—just about anything. Now widely available for the first time, this reproduction of the original includes thoughts by influential designers George Lois, April Greiman, Kit Hinrichs, Michael Carabetta, and Steven Heller on the lasting impact of this lively type primer, and presents its still-fresh innovation to new generations of designers.

Watching the Watchers: Corporate Goverance for the 21st Century

1996 y.
Publisher: Blackwell Publishers
Description: Every day, companies are faced with dozens, even hundreds, of critical decisions concerning the allocation of resources, financial and organizational structure, and strategic directions. Who should make these decisions? And who should be held accountable for their consequences? Boards of directors are the `watchers` who govern the destines of today`s corporations, and Robert Monks and Nell Minow have been watching over their actions for years. This book was written for the people who need to know the most about corporate governance - directors, managers, shareholders, anyone in business - by the people who may know the most about doing it right. `Watching the Watchers: Corporate Governance for the 21st Century` covers everything modern-day managers need to know about corporate governance. Monks and Minow examine what a corporation is and how to measure its performance.

Watching the World Change: The Stories Behind the Images of 9/11

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center was the most universally observed news event in human history. That the event was so visual is owing to the people who, facing disaster, took photographs of it: imperiled office workers, horrified tourists, professional photographers risking their lives. Conceived by Osama bin Laden as the toppling of an image of America right before the world’s eyes, the tragedy swiftly came to be defined by photography, as families posted snapshots of their loved ones, police sought terrorists’ faces on security-camera videotapes, and officials recorded the devastation and identified the dead. In Watching the World Change , David Friend tells the stories behind fifty of the images that altered our sense of our world forever—from the happenstance shots taken by bystanders as the first tower was struck to the scene of three firemen raising the Stars and Stripes at the site. He tells unforgettable… [detailed...]

Watchmen and Philosophy: A Rorschach Test

2009 y.
Publisher: Wiley
Description: Alan Moore`s Watchmen is set in 1985 and chronicles the alternative history of the United States where the US edges dangerously closer to nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Within this world exists a group of crime busters, who don elaborate costumes to conceal their identity and fight crime, and an intricate plot to kill and discredit these `superheroes.` Alan Moore`s Watchmen popularized the graphic novel format, has been named one of Time magazine`s top 100 novels, and is now being made into a highly anticipated movie adaptation. This latest book in the popular Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series peers into Moore`s deeply philosophical work to parse and deconstruct the ethical issues raised by Watchmen`s costumed adventurers, their actions, and their world. From nuclear destruction to utopia, from governmental authority to human morality and social responsibility, it answers questions fans have had for years about Watchmen`s ethical quandaries, themes, and… [detailed...]

Description: This pioneering study of the conflict over the natural water resources of geographic Palestine - Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip - is the first comprehensive examination of all the region`s shared water sources and the economics of their use in agriculture, households and industry. Dr. Elmusa`s detailed survey of the surface and groundwater resources provides essential data for understanding both the extent and the limits of the water supply for Israelis and Palestinians. By focusing on both the scarcity and the commonality of the water resources, he demonstrates why water has become a contentious issue between Israel and the Palestinians. Despite the problems with water supply during the Israeli occupation, the author believes that the peace negotiations mark an historic turning point in the conflict over water. He discusses in original details how the principles of equitable utilization and joint management of their common water resources can be achieved and can enhance… [detailed...]
