ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Amelio, Gil / Simon, William, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers, Former CEO of Apple Computer Gil Amelio, who was replaced by Steve Jobs in the summer of , now chronicles his 17 months as head of Apple and reveals the inner workings of a company shrouded in myth and mystery. "On the Firing Line" is Gil Amelio's Up Close and Personal story that dares to unmask the personalities behind Apple Computer and lay bare the facts Apple fans don't know. It untangles the issues involved in Apple's desperate search for a CEO, describes how Steve Jobs claimed that Amelio was the only one who could save the company, and then shows how Jobs played a critical role in manipulating the board of directors to fire Amelio. In an engaging style, Amelio explores many of the problems he confronted as CEO and reveals how he constantly suffered a culture clash with the company and its people -- a clash he describes in terms of Brioni suits and oxfords meeting Levi's "TM" and Birkenstocks. A must-have for every Apple fan and computer world aficionado, this candid, often startling book takes readers inside the boardrooms and computer labs to reveal the way things really are at the company that has become an American icon.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Coleman, Slash, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, A compelling coming-of-age tale infused with southern charm, "The Bohemian Love Diaries "chronicles Slash Coleman's upbringing in a warped but loving household of eccentric artists. Descended from a posse of off-beat immigrants--including a grandfather who danced at the Moulin Rouge--and raised in the capital of the Confederacy during the '70s and '80s, young Slash sets out to find true love. Unfortunately, he's his own worst enemy. Obsessions with Evel Knievel, rock band KISS, and a complex addiction to traveling the globe to find the girl of his dreams set him and his quest for happiness on a hapless course. Alternately hilarious and profound, Coleman, a brilliant young artist, comes to terms with his father, a genius sculptor and volatile alcoholic, and his mother, a Holocaust survivor who makes her son promise never to reveal that he's Jewish. A tender, moving portrait emerges of a man whose passionate creative spirit refuses to be suppressed. A swift kick to the funny bone, "The Bohemian Love Diaries" and its laugh-out-loud perversity conjure Jonathan Ames and Augusten Burroughs with a cutting edge that will make you think that Slash was raised in Chuck Palahniuk's attic by John Hodgman. He will leave you howling.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Woolf, Virginia / Howard, Maureen, PUBLISHER: Harvest Books, This brilliant novel explores the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a woman's life. Direct and vivid in her account of the details of Clarissa Dalloway's preparations for a party she is to give that evening, Woolf ultimately managed to reveal much more. For it is the feeling behind these daily events that gives Mrs. Dalloway its texture and richness and makes it so memorable. Foreword by Maureen Howard. "Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. If the novel before Mrs. Dalloway aspired to immensities of scope and scale, to heroic journeys across vast landscapes, with Mrs. Dalloway Virginia Woolf insisted that it could also locate the enormous within the everyday; that a life of errands and party-giving was every bit as viable a subject as any life lived anywhere; and that should any human act in any novel seem unimportant, it has merely been inadequately observed. The novel as an art form has not been the same since. "Mrs. Dalloway also contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." --Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours

First printed in "The Saturday Evening Post" during the s, '30s, and '40s, these stories constitute a rip-snorting glimpse back to a South Florida that now exists only in memory."--"Miami Herald" "Reflects the same concerns found in her better-known non-fiction work--a fascination with the beauty of Florida and a warning against its imminent destruction."--"Tallahassee Democrat" The subjects that would fire Marjory Stoneman Douglas's enthusiasm for the rest of her life first appeared in her short fiction published in the s.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harvey, Andrew / Hamut, Eryk / Hanut, Eryk, PUBLISHER: Putnam Publishing Group, Son of Man is both a celebration of the mystical Christ and a practical guidebook to contacting Christ and experiencing what St. Paul called "the glorious liberty of the children of God". The New York Times recently wrote, "The spirit that moves Andrew Harvey is gaining him literary acclaim". In his long-awaited major new book, Son of Man, Harvey explores the sacred feminine aspects of Jesus. He explains that Christ came to help release humanity from all bonds of false authority and to reveal to people their own divine identity, thereby awakening all to the freedom, dignity, and joy that is within them. In the second section, Harvey offers transformative ways of realizing the power of Christ. These practices are drawn from the early Christian traditions of mantra, medieval mystic devotional practices, the vision of prayer of Teresa of Avila, and based upon the author's own experiences of the meditation and visualization practices of Hinduism, Sufism, and Tibetan Buddhism. A section of meditations and readings at the end -- including recently discovered Gnostic gospels -- complete the readers full experience in the mystical Christ. A beautiful volume of text and photographs, Son of Man will help us enter into a union with Christ as he becomes the "source and principle of divine life" (Thomas Merton) within us. Index.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Friedman, Lester D., PUBLISHER: Rutgers University Press, A smug glance at the seventies-the so-called "Me Decade"-unveils a kaleidoscope of big hair, blaring music, and broken politics-all easy targets for satire, cynicism, and ultimately even nostalgia. American Cinema of the s, however, looks beyond the strobe lights to reveal how profoundly the seventies have influenced American life and how the films of that decade represent a peak moment in cinema history. Far from a placid era, the seventies was a decade of social upheavals. Events such as the killing of students at Kent State and Jackson State universities, the Watergate investigations, the legalization of abortion, and the end of the American involvement in Vietnam are only a few among the many landmark occurrences that challenged the foundations of American culture. The director-driven movies of this era reflect this turmoil, experimenting with narrative structures, offering a gallery of scruffy antiheroes, and revising traditional genre conventions. Bringing together ten original essays, American Cinema of the s examines the range of films that marked the decade, including Jaws, Rocky, Love Story, Shaft, Dirty Harry, The Godfather, Deliverance, The Exorcist, Shampoo, Taxi Driver, Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Apocalypse Now. Lester D. Friedman is the Senior Scholar-in-Residence in the Media and Society Program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the author of numerous books on film.

"Planet Dreams": a fast-paced, apocalyptic adventure that takes place soon after the turn of the millennium. The destinies of two alternative Earths, one an ecologically sensitive utopia, the other a violent, lethally polluted nightmare, become irrevocably entwined. Dreams and dimensional windows created by changes in the earths' electromagnetic fields place the earths at deadly odds. And the Viewers that play back the dreamers' dreams make this an even more startling reality. Residents of the utopian dimension scramble to protect themselves from the hell that their dreams reveal. But unexpected twists and turns make it clear that nothing can be taken for granted and that this universe is much more complex, magical, and unpredictable than we can even imagine. With compelling characters and clean, evocative prose, Carlock creates a sumptuous, engaging page-turner that devotees of science fiction, fantasy, and the new emerging consciousness on this planet will find immensely satisfying.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Connor, Brian, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The purely philosophical concerns of Theodor W. Adorno's negative dialectic would seem to be far removed from the concreteness of critical theory; Adorno's philosophy considers perhaps the most traditional subject of "pure" philosophy, the structure of experience, whereas critical theory examines specific aspects of society. But, as Brian O'Connor demonstrates in this highly original interpretation of Adorno's philosophy, the negative dialectic can be seen as the theoretical foundation of the reflexivity or critical rationality required by critical theory. Adorno, O'Connor argues, is committed to the "concretion" of philosophy: his thesis of nonidentity attempts to show that reality is not reducible to appearances. This lays the foundation for the applied "concrete" critique of appearances that is essential to the possibility of critical theory. To explicate the context in which Adorno's philosophy operates--the tradition of modern German philosophy, from Kant to Heidegger--O'Connor examines in detail the ideas of these philosophers as well as Adorno's self-defining differences with them. O'Connor discusses Georg Lukacs and the influence of his "protocritical theory" on Adorno's thought; the elements of Kant's and Hegel's German idealism appropriated by Adorno for his theory of subject-object mediation; the priority of the object and the agency of the subject in Adorno's epistemology; and Adorno's important critiques of Kant and the phenomenology of Heidegger and Husserl, critiques that both illuminate Adorno's key concepts and reveal his construction of critical theory through an engagement with the problems of philosophy.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maslowski, Peter / Winslow, Don, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, Widely acclaimed as the Vietnam War's most highly decorated soldier, Joe Ronnie Hooper in many ways serves as a symbol for that conflict. His troubled, tempestuous life paralleled the upheavals in American society during the s and s, and his desperate quest to prove his manhood was uncomfortably akin to the macho image projected by three successive presidents in their "tough" policy in Southeast Asia. "Looking for a Hero" extracts the real Joe Hooper from the welter of lies and myths that swirl around his story; in doing so, the book uncovers not only the complicated truth about an American hero but also the story of how Hooper's war was lost in Vietnam, not at home. Extensive interviews with friends, fellow soldiers, and family members reveal Hooper as a complex, gifted, and disturbed man. They also expose the flaws in his most famous and treasured accomplishment: earning the Medal of Honor. In the distortions, half-truths, and outright lies that mar Hooper's medal of honor file, authors Peter Maslowski and Don Winslow find a painful reflection of the army's inability to be honest with itself and the American public, with all the dire consequences that this dishonesty ultimately entailed. In the inextricably linked stories of Hooper and the Vietnam War, the nature of that deceit, and of America's defeat, becomes clear.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hodgson, Lucia, PUBLISHER: Graywolf Press, In Raised in Captivity: Why Does America Fail Its Children, cultural critic Lucia Hodgson examines the contradictory and even harmful responses Americans give when faced with the issues that most dramatically affect children's lives. Hodgson illustrates her points with references to several cases that became media hotbeds: the Baby Jessica case, the Menendez brothers, Susan Smith's murder of her children, Polly Klaas's kidnapping and murder. Hodgson's approach, however, is to strip away the hype surrounding these cases to reveal American's self-deception about children's realities, and to show that the more we focus on individual cases of deviation, the more we overlook the systemic causes of the problem. Hodgson's examination of the media coverage and the public response to these high-profile cases illuminates some of her most critical questions. Why is it that in the United States adult privilege consistently takes precedent over the best interests of children? Why hasn't the contemporary combination of adult concern for children and knowledge about their issues resulted in policies that better serve children's needs? What are American adults trying to avoid when they insist, despite evidence to the contrary, that American children are well provided for? This provocative, seminal book will have a profound effect on the still-developing arena of children's issues and should be read by every American adult.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, Tyrus, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Tyrus Miller breaks new ground in this study of early twentieth-century literary and artistic culture. Whereas modernism studies have generally concentrated on the vital early phases of the modernist revolt, Miller focuses on the turbulent later years of the s and s, tracking the dissolution of modernism in the interwar years. In the post-World War I reconstruction and the worldwide crisis that followed, Miller argues, new technological media and the social forces of mass politics opened fault lines in individual and collective experience, undermining the cultural bases of the modernist movement. He shows how late modernists attempted to discover ways of occupying this new and often dangerous cultural space. In doing so they laid bare the ruin of the modernist aesthetic at the same time as they transcended its limits. In his wide-ranging theoretical and historical discussion, Miller relates developments in literary culture to tendencies in the visual arts, cultural and political criticism, mass culture, and social history. He excavates Wyndham Lewis's hidden borrowings from Al Jolson's "The Jazz Singer"; situates Djuna Barnes between the imagery of "haute couture" and the intellectualism of Duchamp; uncovers Beckett's affinities with Giacometti's surrealist sculptures and the Bolshevik clowns Bim-Bom; and considers Mina Loy as both visionary writer and designer of decorative lampshades. Miller's lively and engaging readings of culture in this turbulent period reveal its surprising anticipation of our own postmodernity.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Doyno, Victor A., PUBLISHER: University of Pennsylvania Press, In "Writing Huck Finn," Vic Doyno offers a new, accessible, and innovative approach to America's favorite novel. He presents new material from the revised manuscript of "Huckleberry Finn" and also draws upon Samuel Clemen's unpublished family journal, his correspondence, and his concerns about the lack of an international copyright law. Doyno focuses on Twain's creative artistry in stylistic matters, such as tone of voice, characterization, humor, plot, description, and imagery, using genetic criticism to reveal how the novel grew through creative revision. He also uses the evidence from the manuscript to explore new thematic interpretations about the role of nobility and religion in the novel. Generations of readers have loved Twain's masterpiece but have been confused or vexed by the novel's ending. Doyno offers some surprising information about topics as varied as literacy, the economics of authorship, and the leasing of Black convicts. This information provides a new, coherent, and satisfying reading of the ending. Although there have been several perceptive books about "Huckleberry Finn," none reveals so much about the composition process and about how Twain created his meanings. Creative writers will be fascinated to learn how Twain revised his work-in-progress to sustain the reader's interest, scholars of American literature will discover many new interpretations-- and all readers will gain new perspectives on this rewarding masterpiece and on the survival of our national literature.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fletcher, Anthony / Roberts, Peter, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this volume seventeen distinguished historians of early modern Britain pay tribute to an outstanding scholar and teacher. Several present reviews of major areas of debate: of the significance of the regulations which determined the social and legal status of professional actors in Elizabethan England, of Protestant ideas about marriage, of the political significance of the Anglo-Scottish Union, of relations between the Churches of England, Scotland and Ireland under the early Stuarts, and of the riddle of the inner dynamic of the experience of emigration of New England. Case-studies in the social and religious history of the period include the relationship between ideas of cleanliness and godliness, the flowering of the notion of unitive Protestantism in two declarations on behalf of the National Church and provincial preaching at a moment of political crisis in the north of England. Three essays draw on literary evidence to explore attitudes to men of war, the use of the murder pamphlet as a Puritan conversion narrative and the service provided by scholarly readers for politically influential public figures. Two essays make impressive use of fieldwork to reveal how the churches of James I and VI's two kingdoms were furnished and how the gardens of Sir Nicholas and Sir Francis Bacon illuminate their minds and attitudes. The European dimension is represented by an essay on Nicolas Pithou's history of the Reformation in the city of Troyes. This very wide-ranging and fascinating collection of essays will appeal both to specialists in the period and to those interested in the social and cultural history of early modern Britain.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brady, Sheryl, PUBLISHER: Howard Books, By exploring the lives of the Bible's most remarkable characters, we can learn how to dig deep within ourselves and find the strength to overcome and succeed in any situation. Some of the most talented, faithful, and amazing people in the Bible didn't know that they had it in them either--not until God revealed to them the truth about their identity and abilities, often in the midst of perilous trials and challenging situations. Like these heroes of Christianity, all of us have untapped talents, unclaimed abilities, and unmerited gifts waiting to be discovered inside us. Pastor Sheryl Brady believes God wants us to peel away the layers we try to hide behind, dissolve the excuses we use as camouflage, and reveal the beauty of our true selves. By sharing her own life journey as well as examples from history and current culture, Brady challenges us to reconsider the way we see ourselves and to re-frame our own understanding of how we got there. "You Have It in You" ""asks: Do you know what you're made of? More importantly, do you want to discover the strengths lying dormant inside you? Brady hopes you will be inspired to reconsider challenges as opportunities for self-discovery and faith-enrichment. She believes she can inspire in you a new perspective on all that God has brought you through and a greater awareness of all that you've accomplished and endured.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dever, William G., PUBLISHER: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Following up on his two recent, widely acclaimed studies of ancient Israelite history and society, William Dever here reconstructs the practice of religion in ancient Israel from the bottom up. Archaeological excavations reveal numerous local and family shrines where sacrifices and other rituals were carried out. Intrigued by this "folk religion" in all its variety and vitality, Dever writes about ordinary people in ancient Israel and their everyday religious lives. "Did God Have a Wife?" shines new light on the presence and influence of women's cults in early Israel and their implications for our understanding of Israel's official "Book religion." Dever pays particular attention to the goddess Asherah, reviled by the authors of the Hebrew Bible as a foreign deity but, in the view of many modern scholars, popularly envisioned in early Israel as the consort of biblical Yahweh. His work also gives new prominence to women as the custodians of Israel's folk religion. The first book by an archaeologist on ancient Israelite religion, this fascinating study critically reviews virtually all of the archaeological literature of the past generation, while also bringing fresh evidence to the table. Though Dever digs deep into the past, his discussion is extensively illustrated, unencumbered by footnotes, and vivid with colorful insights. Meant for professional and general audiences alike, "Did God Have a Wife?" is sure to spur wide and passionate debate. Acquista Ora
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Irr, Caren / Caren Irr / Irr, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, In "The Suburb of Dissent "Caren Irr explores the leftist literary subculture of the United States and Canada during the s to reconstruct the ideas of mass culture, class, and nationality that emerged as a result of the Great Depression. Unearthing plots and characters that still surface in contemporary narratives, Irr juxtaposes classic and neglected works of criticism, fiction, poetry, and journalism and demonstrates how leftist writers resisted totalitarianism much more thoroughly than Cold War accounts would suggest. Irr highlights works by Richard Wright, John Dos Passos, Nathanael West, and others to uncover the complex relationship between American anti-communism and communist anti-Americanism. In an unprecedented move, she extends her inquiry to the work of Canadian intellectuals such as Dorothy Livesay and Hugh MacLennan to reveal the important yet overlooked fact that the territory at the border of the United States and Canada provided a vital contact zone and transnational "home" for leftist thinkers. Attending to intersections of race, ethnicity, and gender, Irr illustrates the ways dissenting writers made culture actively respond to the political crises of the Great Depression and questioned the nature of what it means to be "American." Drawing on insights from postcolonial and American studies and taking into account the intellectual and cultural dimensions of leftist politics, "The Suburb of Dissent" is the first study of the s to bring together U.S. and Canadian writings. In doing so, it reveals how the unique culture of the left contributed to North American history at this critical juncture and beyond.
