Lynda Barry
What It Is

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: “Deliciously drawn (with fragments of collage worked into each page), insightful and bubbling with delight in the process of artistic creation. A+” —Salon How do objects summon memories? What do real images feel like? For decades, these types of questions have permeated the pages of Lynda Barry’s compositions, with words attracting pictures and conjuring places through a pen that first and foremost keeps on moving. What It Is demonstrates a tried-and-true creative method that is playful, powerful, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or to remember. Composed of completely new material, each page of Barry’s first Drawn &, Quarterly book is a full-color collage that is not only a gentle guide to this process but an invigorating example of exactly what it is: “The ordinary is extraordinary.” [detailed...]

What Just Happened: A Chronicle from the Information Frontier

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: For the past decade change seemed to happen over night, every night. Fueled by the exponential rise of technology, the digital revolution was difficult for many to make sense of, but James Gleick watched and analyzed, criticized and commended, participated in and prophesized about the instantaneous transformations of the world as we knew it. What Just Happened is a collection of Gleick’s articles from this equally exciting and terrifying decade—remember Y2K?—that range from condemnations of maddeningly pervasive bugs in Microsoft software to the invisible shackles we wear in an “Inescapably Connected” world. Combining insight and reason with wit and passion, What Just Happened is an essential tour of our technology-driven mania. [detailed...]

What Just Happened? : Bitter Hollywood Tales from the Front Line

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Art Linson`s riotous journey through the making of five major motion pictures. Whether he`s trying to persuade an executive that Gwyneth Paltrow has enough chin to carry the lead in a movie, forcing an enraged Alec Baldwin to shave off his mountain-man beard, or sitting through an excruciating reading of a David Mamet script as Bob de Niro toys with the notion of heading up the cast, Art Linson gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood, from script to screen. In What Just Happened? we get to explore, at close range, finicky directors, clueless executives, shameless marketers, famous actors, battered screenwriters, and hapless producers crossing paths in such calamitous ways that it`s a miracle these films get made at all. Linson is the ideal guide through this heavily land-mined, high-stakes industry, pausing for a moment here or there to explain some aspect or pitfall of the business, to wax… [detailed...]

What Justice? Whose Justice?: Fighting for Fairness in Latin America

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The new millennium began with the triumph of democracy and markets. But for whom is life just, how so, and why? And what is being done to correct persisting injustices? Blending macro-level global and national analysis with in-depth grassroots detail, the contributors highlight roots of injustices, how they are perceived, and efforts to alleviate them. Following up on issues raised in the groundbreaking best-seller Power and Popular Protest: Latin American Social Movements (California, 2001), these essays elucidate how conceptions of justice are socially constructed and contested and historically contingent, shaped by people`s values and institutionally grounded in real-life experiences. The contributors, a stellar coterie of North and Latin American scholars, offer refreshing new insights that deepen our understanding of social justice as ideology and practice. [detailed...]

What Kind of Liberation?: Women and the Occupation of Iraq

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the run-up to war in Iraq, the Bush administration assured the world that America`s interest was in liberation--especially for women. The first book to examine how Iraqi women have fared since the invasion, What Kind of Liberation? reports from the heart of the war zone with dire news of scarce resources, growing unemployment, violence, and seclusion. Moreover, the book exposes the gap between rhetoric that placed women center stage and the present reality of their diminishing roles in the `new Iraq.` Based on interviews with Iraqi women`s rights activists, international policy makers, and NGO workers and illustrated with photographs taken by Iraqi women, What Kind of Liberation? speaks through an astonishing array of voices. Nadje Al-Ali and Nicola Pratt correct the widespread view that the country`s violence, sectarianism, and systematic erosion of women`s rights come from something inherent in Muslim, Middle Eastern, or Iraqi culture. They also demonstrate how in spite of… [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: People can no longer rely on company pension plans to provide them with a secure future. Increasingly, investors have to make tough investment decisions on their own or pay someone to do it for them. But where does one start?

This book will help you formulate the best plan for you-one that you will be comfortable with, one that will allow you to achieve your financial goals.

What Maisie Knew

2002 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: The child of parents who divorce, remarry and then embark on adulterous affairs. Maisie Farange survives bv her intelligence and spirit. For all its sombre theme of childhood innocence exposed to a corrupted adult world, this novel is one of James`s comic masterpieces. The outrageous behaviour of the characters on the seedy fringes of the English upper class is conveyed with wit and relish. The dual perspective of a sophisticated narrator richly appreciative of the absurdities of the adult sexual merry-go-round and the candid vision of Maisie, `rebounding` from one parent to another like a `shuttlecock`, together create an `associational magic`. Strangely, unexpectedly, from so much that is tawdry, comes a tale of moral energy and subtlety, James`s foresight was in understanding the modernity of his subject, which is even more relevant today in the twenty-first century.
