The New Wolves

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bass, Rick, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, Lobos, or Mexican wolves, once roamed freely throughout Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas until they were hunted to extinction when big cattle interest came to the Southwest. Now, a Mexican wolf reintroduction -- similar to the Yellowstone efforts for its cousin the gray wolf -- is underway in the Blue Mountains of Arizona. But cattle have overgrazed the fragile land, damaging the ecosystem that barely sustains their vast numbers. Can this environment sustain wolves? With the literary talent and naturalist's sensibility he brought to his highly praised account of a family of wolves in Montana, The Ninemile Wolves, Rick Bass examines the circumstances of the Mexican wolves' arrival: the exhausted soil of the land, the behavior and requirements of wolves, and the concerns of ranchers and environmentalists. "The New Wolves" brings to life a place -- its people and its wildlife, its past and its future. Bass articulates the land's need for wolves to maintain balance, while masterfully depicting the modern conflict between nature and our need to control it. Part meditation, part probing journalism, "The New Wolves" is an important new chapter in the drama of wolves and the American West.

No, They Can't: Why Government Fails-But Individuals Succeed

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stossel, John, PUBLISHER: Threshold Editions, "New York Times" bestselling journalist John Stossel shows how the expansion of government control is destructive for American society.Emmy Award-winning journalist John Stossel is a self-proclaimed skeptic, attacking society's sacred cows. Now, he dismantles the most sacred of them all: the notion that government action is the best way to solve a problem. From the myth that government can spend its way out of a crisis to the mistaken belief that labor unions protect workers, Stossel, a true libertarian, provides evidence that the reality is very different from what intuition tells us. His evidence leads to the taboo conclusions that: - Government "already" dominates health care--and that's the problem - The state keeps banning foods, but food bans don't make us healthier - Government-run schools and teachers' unions haven't made kids smarter Utilizing his three decades in journalism, Stossel combines sharp insights, common sense, and documented facts to debunk conventional wisdom and challenge popular opinion about the role of our nation's government.

Double Agent: The Critic and Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickstein, Morris, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism. He examines the development of practical criticism, the rise and fall of literary journalism, and the growth of American Studies, and rereads the work of critics like Arnold, Walter Pater, I.A. Richards, Roland Barthes, Edmund Wilson, R.P. Blackmur, Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and George Orwell. In essays and books that are themselves works of literature, these writers made criticism central to the public sphere, balancing social and literary values, politic commitment and aesthetic judgment. Though marginalized or ignored by academic histories of criticism, their example has proved immensely valuable for younger critics eager to find a personal voice and reach a wider public. Dickstein concludes with a lively and provocative dialogue that weighs the claims of recent literary theory and the importance of renewing public culture.

Contemporary Television: Eastern Perspectives

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: French, David / Richards, Michael / Richards, Michael, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The rapid proliferation of satellite and cable television in recent years combined with the increasing importance of ideologies of free trade have brought up a number of very important issues. These have acquired particular salience in Asian countries where the ownership of television sets is growing at a phenomenal pace. Focusing on the global and local issues arising from the internationalization of television, this important volume provides an Asian reading of the emerging tensions between commercial realities and the desire to preserve cultural identities. Contemporary Television begins by focusing on two areas of growth--global media and media education. The contributors use the globalization debate to point to the energetic spread of television: the growing size of audiences, ever-hungry for a wider choice of fare, and the importance of the Asian market. They also contextualize the growth of television as a medium of entertainment in this era of globalization and discuss the nature and importance of media education given recent developments. This book also examines contemporary themes relating to television and suggests an agenda for future debates and will be invaluable for students and scholars of mass media, communication, media education, and journalism. Broadcasters and journalists will also be interested in this volume as well as those concerned with the growth of television and its impact on our lives.

Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thompson, Hunter S., PUBLISHER: Ballantine Books, "California, Labor Day weekend... early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur... The Menace is loose again." Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson's vivid account of his experiences with California's most no-torious motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels. In the mid-s, Thompson spent almost two years living with the controversial An-gels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in the anarchic spirit of their clan, and, as befits their name, raising hell. His book successfully captures a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, writes with his usual bravado, energy, and brutal honesty, and with a nuanced and incisive eye; as The New Yorker pointed out, "For all its uninhibited and sardonic humor, Thompson's book is a thoughtful piece of work." As illuminating now as when originally published in , Hell's Angels is a gripping portrait, and the best account we have of the truth behind an American legend. "From the Hardcover edition."
